Two small boys—one on ; the Brooks
side of the hedge, and the other.on the
Neal side—were stretching the aiready-
too-thin form of a dirty-yellow kitten.
“Jack! Whose cat: is .that?” -
Jack _ flinched. He could scarcely
trust -his enemy -long enough to take a
look in the direction of the .familiar
voice. But he dared- to try.
“,I don’t knbtv whose it uster be but
| its gona be mine fromaiow. on. He was
' a-comin’ through the hedge to our
yard and me and Allen saw him at
’zactly. the- same time. Mama, it, ain’t
fair for Allfen to hold his tail, is it?”
“Well, I stopped him before he got
to your yard. J guess”, and. a dust-
tanned face topped by a short, stiff
pompadour of sandy hair managed to
show itself between the thin leaves pf
the scrubby hedge.

“I’ll pick ’em up for you!” shouted
Allen as, he -.ran down the steps and
across the yard to where Eleanor stood.
“Needn’t mind*. I’ve, already got

amiable tones. Allen had pulled her
curls too m-ueh in school for his. cor-
diality to have much effect upon her.
“Hullo, Eleanor.”
Jack was standing up waving at her.
“Good evening.*’
Eleanor barely nodded.
“Say, Eleanor, don’t you wanna pet
my kitten?” inquired Allen in most
apologetic tones.
By this time Jack had joined the pair.
“Ah, shoot! His ol’ cat ain’t pretty.

the drigirial1 purpose has almqkt' beeri
lost sight of. The' girl of today gives
little thought to the warmth of her
corit on a cold day provided it is be-
coming to her.
Pride should not be the only factor
jjial enters into the selection of clothes.
Airi individual cannot ignore, fashion
but it can -be controlled by adapting
it to the healthful, artistic and appro-
priate uses. Clothes should be selected
from the standpoint of occupation,
health and climate.
There is no period in life when un-
hygienic clothing has as great effect on
the wearers as during adolescence. Low
shoes, low necks, thin hose and scant
outer clothing in cold Weather may not
seem to hurt the wearer at the time,
but the effects are very noticeable in
later life.
In the past there has been no article
of dress that has received as little at-
tention as the shoes. Women Selected
their shpes for the appearance and did
not seem to realizri' that the health
might be affected By th^m. Our dis-
positions at the etid of the day depend
upon' the shoes that w-e' have Worn.
Comfortable shoes allow us to forget-
our feet but -short, narrow, ill-fitting '
shoes will not allow us to forget the
treatment our feet are receiving. Our
feet not only demand well fitted shoes
but they must be kept warm and dry.
More colds result from cold, wet feet
than from any "other cause.
Under clothing should not1 ifrterfere
with the skin ventilation. Clothes
worn next.to the skin absorb moisture
from the: skin and' should be changed
often. Underclothing plays a laflge
part in1'keeping the body af ait even'1

“I say, mama,” asked little Tommy,
“do fairy tales always begin with:
‘Once upon a time’?”
“No dear, not always”, replied mama,
“they sometimes begin with: ‘My love,
I was detained at the office tonight’.”
