"Do you know that the society for the preven tion of cruelty to phonograph records will have a warrant out for your ar rest if you do a trick like that apain?" “Like what?” Claire Foster de manded sulkily, and whether or not . she was really ignorant of his mean ing, there was no mistaking the fact that she did not relish his criticism. "Lllfle slowing up a phonograph record while it is being played,” be returned. "That's the quickest way to ruin 'em I know.” She threw her head back, looked at him insolently from beneath half lowered eyelids, then laughed with cool, stinging amusement. "Of alLthe old-maid fuss cats." she said slowly, "you're the limit. Keep your old record, if you're so stingy. I wouldn't touch it with a pair of tongs.” “It isn't my record.” he returned imperturbably, as he picked it up, ex amined it, and then, after putting it down, made a penciled memorandum in hi* address book. I knew that he was making a note of the name that.he might replace the record with a new one. There waa no hint of- annoyance in hia manner, however, and I won dered If hlg complacence were born of indifference to her taunt, or fatu ous acceptance of anything she Wnight say. When he had put the little book and pencil back in bis pocket he gtalked toward her, and with a deft movement grasped her arms just below the elbows and pin ioned them tightly to her sides. “Suppose I Won't." "Now, say you're sorry for being such a naughty, saucy little girl.” he said in a high falsetto voice, grinning provokingly down at her. She made a sudden twist which al most freed her, but not quite. "Suppose I won’t?” she said defi antly. "Then we’ll send away the nicq waiter who is even now upon the stairs, and lock you up in a closet while me wife and T go out to dinner.” The incident had been farce until this moment, but I saw- a look of savage protest flash into the girl s face, and I understood it because of my own geul. It Is apathenm to me to be physi cally restrained in any way, even * when I know it is a Jest—it is the reason, I suppose why I so heartily detest practical Jokes—and I do not know how far my anger might carry ms were Dicky to stage with me the performance he was giving with Claire. Claire Loses Her Appetite. It was time. I knew, for me to in terfere. Man like, Dicky would not see that the thing was no longer a Jest pntil the girl's emotional control had given way. Then he would be highly remorseful. If the waiter wers upon hie way with our a^MfSr, qulcg action was needed. But '■ must also be farcical, so 1 slipped '\s L E E P Y - T I M E T ALES JIMMY RABBIT ONCE MORE : BAILEL' Mr. Rabbit Meets an Old Friend. In their search for a new home tho Rabbit family crossed tho ridge that reached down from Blue mountain towards Cedar Swamp. It was snow ing hard; and the woods were desert ed. The forest-folk were staying In s But Uncle Isaac Bunng didn’t sag dood-bg. side their snug houses, out of the driving storm. “Must we travel much farther?” behind Dicky and put the tips of my fingers on his neck. •’Unhand that woman, knave, or I begin tickling,” I said resonantly. I think Dicky never was so sur prised in his life. That ho is exceed ingly ticklish. I knew from his own tales, but I never have verified the truth of his words, for of all silly, undignified performances, tickling either babies or grown-ups seems to me the last word. But he played up beautifully, and I think he secretly was much gratified that I had come to the rescue of the situation. He dropped her arms and dodged into the hall with growling anathema: "Cur-rue you. Jack Dalton! I'll wait years until I can say—Oh, here's the waiter!” Tlie transition to his ordinary tones as the doorbell sounded brought an hysterical giggle from Claire, and 1 knew that |he danger of an unpleas ant scene had passed. The dinner which Claire had or dered so lavishly was wonderfully cooked and served. Despite my ob jections to the needless expense of it, which, of course, would fall upon us. I was hungry enough to enjoy it Im mensely. and Dicky proved himself an able trencherman. But Claire ate comparatively little, and found some fault, tiny or large, with every single article on the menu, and when the waiter removed the dishes, announced her intention of going to bed, say ing she was dead tired. I picked up my bag to follow her into the bedroom, when Dicky, ignor ing, as I had, the guerilla warfare between us, asked anxiously: "What do you suppose is the mat ter With her? is lb* pore at me?” Jimmy Rabbit asked bis father. Ha was tired. He found the walking more difficult as the snow grew deep er. And the bundle that he carried, small as it was. seemed to grow heavier every minute. Mr. Rabbit paused and looked all about. “I don't know this ridge very well,” he said to Mrs. Rabbit and tbejr son. “I wish 1 could see some friend of mine who lives here. I’d ask him if this is a good neighborhood." Well, soon after that Mr. Rabbit spied some fresh tracks in the snow. “Just what I was hoping for!" he cried. “Uncle Isaac Bunny passed this way not two minutes ago. I’d know his footprints anywhere, be cause he always walks as if he was al most too lazy to drag one foot after another. He knows this whole val ley, because he’s a great traveler. He spends all his time visiting ’round among his relatives.” Sr. Mr. Rabbit bade bis wife and his son wait right there. And then he hurried off along the tracks, which led toward Cedar Swamp. He canto upon Uncle Isaac Bunny quickly, for Uncle Isaac was a slow traveler. He never liked to bestir hiself. "Please tell me all about this neigh borhood,” Mr. Rabbit begged him. "I’m thinking of settling here.” Uncle Isaac Bunny sat down and brushed the snow ofT his whisgers. “It's a fine place,” he told Mr. Rab bit. "I ought to know, for I once spent six months in that old hollow tree behind you. I was visiting my fourth cousins who lived there at the time.” “Do they live there now?” Mr. Rab bit inquired. “No!” replied Uncle Isaac. “I stopped thete a moment ago, intend 1 ind to stay a few weeks with them. But they’ve moved awaj'. The house is empty.” “Lucky for us!” Mr. Rabbit ex claimed. *‘I’1I go along my back tracks and get my family and bring I ’em here at once. I’m glad I met you.” "And I’m glad I met you,’’ said i Uncle Isaac Bunny. ■ I "Good-by!” called Mr. Rabbit, who had already started for the spot I where he had left his family. But Uncle Isaac Bunny didn't say good-by. Instead, -ns soon as Mr. Rabbit was out of sight, he hopped over to the old hollow tree and crawled Inside it. ' "Iii stay right here for the rest of the winter,” he muttered to himself. “I’ve heard that Mr*. Rabbit 1* a fine housekeeper and a good cook. To be sure, they’re no relations of mine. But what do I care about that?” (Copyright. 1*SS.) | Tomorrow: An Unhappy Homccom i ing for the Rabbit Family. Why Mrs. Rabbit Was Startled.

O ar Miss Kairfax:. We are two girls of 18. Several weeks ago we .»iu acquainted with two extreme ly good looking men who had come to the community for work. It was love at first sight, and ever since have been having dates with them almost every night. The people of this neighborhood are talking about us and seem to think we have gone wrong, which we think [ is not so. So are coming to you for advice as how we are to stop this scandal. Our lovers told us not to pay any atten tion to it, hut we cannot' help think ing of it. Moping to see this In print soon, SADNESS AND SORROW. Scandal is best stopped by' not de serving it. In other words, go on your way. Be sincere. Be honest. Be respectable, and then-when people say unkind and untrue things about you, their remarks will reflect their own evil minds and will not affect you In the least. Don't worry about what people say. Worry much ahout your | own conduct, however. Rosie: You might as well draw the line at one place as another. The i more privileges you give this hoy the I more he will take. Bride to Be: Three tablecloths. 12 dinner napkins, 12 tea napkins. 8 Sllftts, 8 pillow cases, 6 sets of un derwear and a generous supply of hand, bath and tea towels would con stitute a very modest hope chest. Anxiously: It seems to me you could bear with this young friend of yours. If his father is a bit strict about liis social life it is well for you both to abide by this. I rannot of course tell you whether or not he loves you, instinct and the proofs you have had heretofore of his honesty should bo your answer, but if he is the age you say, and is dependent on his father, I don't see how you could expect a more definite proposal. You arc young yburself. Do not hurry into marriage, if you are afraid his love will fade, so too might yours, and any, way, fear of faithlessness is a floor foundation for a happy wedded life. I am afraid, my dear.-that you still do not know the meaning of love, for Its first translation ia "trust." Teminy: Tell your mother the truth about the picture, aiilfi ask the boy to return it. If he does not re turn it at your request, yqur father 01- brother, if you have one, or even your mother, should make a polite request for it. Bobb): If you think your father is partial to you and want to make jt up'to yoifr sister, why not try being kind and unselfish toward her'.' ^ Uncle Sam Says Chimneys and Fireplaces.

Now, you can use a powder that really stays on, that stays on perfectly. A special , 1st has perfected a pure powder that does not contain white lead or starchy rice powder to make it stay on. This improved formula con tains medicinal powder doctors prescribe to improve the complexion. In fact, this powder helps to prevent nnd reduce enlarged pores and irri tations. It is also astringent, dis couraging flabbiness, crow's feet and wrinkles. This unusual powder is called La-may (French, Poudre L'Ame). Because La-may is pure and because it stays on so well it is used by millions of American women. All dealers carry the large.# box and many carry the generous thirty-five cent sir.e. Remember, when you are offered a substitute for La-may it is sure to he a dem onstrator or some one trying to make a larger profit at your expense.
