They have been specially written for the queen, and poems and es says which they contain are in the author's own handwriting. There are about 170 books in,the library, 100 of which are entirely original, and the queen Is In the un precedented position of being the holder of the copyright of each.

The library includes a whole litera ture anent dolls. There are many stories about dolls—their adventures, lives and loves—and their own spe cial philosophy is set out.

Your Problems lk>ar Miss Allen: I think the fol lowing poem can express my thoughts better, as my heart feels just ns it is written. Don't notice mistakes in writing, but just what is in it. We both still care for each other. A boy friend that I once knew. And for his equal there are few; With him I went for three long years. And for him I have shed many a tear. The time came when we spoke no more And other boy friends came to my door, But with them I had no desire to go. For it was still love 1 want you to know'. Back of our troubles a quire stood— Those that think love can be destroyed like wood. Their lectures, their curses on me fell. And the heart asks Its cause they knew quite well. The quire excused thelrself by saying. "She soon forget," and trouble we are saving. They may be right, but nevertheless. They are leaving my heart in a terri ble mess. Some day they’ll wish this they had not done. From my young life they have robbed much fun. I am 39 and a few months old— Now give your advice^ on the lone story I’ve to)d. Would you give him up or not? W. N. F. You ask me whether you shoujJ give up this boy you think so much of, but give me no reason for doing so. Just because your friends do not care for a boy Is no reason you should not care for him. I Judge from this feeling poem you have writ ten that you are very much in love. It Is nothing to be ashamed of. Dove Is a beautiful thing. You have tested your feelings by going with other boys. This Is a very wise thing for you to liave done and I would sug gest you to continue to see other friends. Your age alone is a little against you, for at your age there are many more boy fr iends you can make and possibly learn to care for as much as you care for this one. If the "quire" you refer to Is your parents, then I say do as your par ents wish you to do, for If they do not want you to go with this boy they must have good reasons. Your moth er and father are surely your best friends after all. My only advice is to keep on having good, lovely, times with others and make as many friends as possible. If he pares for you sin cerely, he will wait for you. Miss Hoagland to St. Louis. Miss Helen Hoagland, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. W. W. Hoagland, left Tuesday evening for St. Louis where Miss Hoagland will have an other examination before undergoing another operation on her face.

From \ ogue The Important New Scarf. The new scarf is one of the most important items in the Spring mode. It may express a diversity of ideas and serve a variety of purposes, from finishing a severely tailored coat or wrap to carrying out a brilliant color scheme in a sports costume. Or It may be an elusive wisp of tulle veiling a too thin throat. But no scarf is more important than that which is a very part of the suit or dress for which it Is designed. No. 7586 expresses the last word in a street frock with a very clever adaptation of the scarf. It is a straight, side-closing model—simplic ity itself to make—and most econom ical withal, for it Is cut from a single width of 54-inch material. Not the least Important point of this frock is the sleeve which carries t>ut the feel Ing of the scarf, ns well as the double button closing device at the hip.

Adeie Garrison “My Husband's Love” The Voire Madge Heard at the Telephone. I had my answer ready to the ques tfon which Mrs. Bird's driver put to me, for I had-employed my time dur ing the motor trip to New York in planning for every minute of the short time allotted me. Of paramount Importance was the question of push ing forward the sailing date for the Harrison party. I had in my purse the address of a man whom Lillian had commissioned to make the neces sary reservations for the date which she had thought was the earliest one we could get, but—urged ou by Mrs. Bird, and by my own dread—I meant to see If there were not letter arrange ments which could he made. To do this as well a.s the shopping for the children In the limited time at my disposal. It was necessary for me to have efficient aid. picky and Lillian were at the farm, and it had taken me but a few seconds to decide upon the person whose help I meant to enlist) Alfred Hurkee was In his office. I was sure—Ills mother's ill ness had necessitated so many hours of absence from his work that I was confident he, one of the busiest art editors in the magazine world, would be there every hour of his working day. Alfred Would Hel|f. That he would lie eager to help me In every possible way I was also sure, for he was grateful to a far greater degree than I deserved for the atten tion I had given his mother during her hospital operation. The tragic death of Dicky’s sister and brother-in law had kept me from visiting my little friend after she had been brought to her Marvin home from the hospital, but 1 had kept in close touch with her by telephone and knew that her convalescence from the op eration so skillfully performed by Dr. Braithwaite had been swift and sat isfactory. I was glad, however, of the prospect of questioning Alfred con cerning his mother's condition, and I meant, also, to ascertain if possible whether Bella's outlook upon life was more cheerful than It had been when I last saw her. The driver's voice had held a note I of uneasy impatience, or sit I fan tied, when he had asked me where Real Irish Linen Dresses, 10.50 Thoroughly Shrunk r \ Absolutely Pure Imported POMPEIAN (HIVE OIL Hahn the moct rtrBrlnna mayonnalaa and Fnack dftSilllP U- M next I wished to go. and wondered tf there bad been any incident on the Journey — something which I had missed—which had caused that In flection. "To thk nearest booth telephone,” I said crisply. He considered a minute, frowning, then pointed to a big building in the next block. ''You'll find plenty In that depart ment store over there.” he said. "I’ll drive you down this street Just opposite the entrance and then I’ll go around the corner to I^xington avenue and wait on that block or as near it as I can get. I'll be along l.exlngton south of here somewhere. Which way do you want to go when you come out, north or south? I can have the car headed either way.” “I am not sure, yet.” I returned, "hut I think I am going north. Ret ter head the car,that way.” "All right.” He shot a quick glance behind him, and swerved the car Into the roadway deftly hut to the accompaniment of loud and angry invectives from the drivers of other cars coming up behind him. Kor the first time I saw a grin upon his face as he turned it hack for an instant. Madge is Cautious. “Go on, exercise your lungs,” he muttered, as he sent the car along for the block he had named and drew it up into a vacant space at the curb. / “Better hurry,” he said crisply, but gave no reason for the advice. I asked none, as I obeyed him and hastened across the street to the wide doors of the department store.

Well, upon my word.” He added some other words which I did not hoar, for either in ignor ance that her voice could be heard, or deliberately intending that it should be, someone close to the tele phone said audibly and laughingly. "The family friend on the Job, eh, Alf?" I did not need to jog my memory to place the voice. It belonged un mistakably to Bess Bean! Ancient Books Recall , Troubles of Printer Many interesting stories are told by the owners of the Orummer culler tlon of rare books which are to tie on exhibit at the Omaha public library during the two weeks following March 9. This collection illustrates the de velopment of the art of printing. One of the books from the Crum mer collection Is the fit book from the third press after t • invention of printing. Ulrich Zell, was an ap prentice of Gutenberg and worked in his shop when he was producing the famous 42 line Bible, a page of which will be shown in this exhibit through the courtesy of Mrs. A. F. Jonas. Having learned the trade from Gu tenberg, Zell decided It was a good business and he would try It himself. He fled to Cologne-without having paid his apprenticeship debt to Gu-j tenberg, and started a shop of his' own. The publishers of this early loriod had a hard enough tim* of It wfchout an^ stemtyper*' union--** a ban wan placed upon the publication of practic ally all mail ter except re ligious and medical book*. The printer whs compelled to pay a tax f«»r every privilege to the magl*trate of the city In which he established hia pre?*, and he was generally h?iraBf***d and troubled by one thing after another *o that the history of the early printer* la quite a* thrilling as any modern novel of today. ririch Zell cut hi* own type *nd during the ahort period, a few year*, in which he conducted his shop at <’ol0Knef he cut and used three dis tinct varieties of type. The type of the period was generally fashioned after the handwriting of some fa mous scribe. It 1* said that the Al dus type of the famous Venetian press was cut after the handwriting of Petrarch. Modern Pleal9 In former years pleats were used fm the purpose of fullness. One could not have nn entirely plain skirt, and so pleats were used to give the necessary fullness in a good-looking manner. But now that fullness is so much * thing of the past, something to be avoided, pleats are again called Into use for exactly the opposite purpose— to conceal fullness. We must have a certain amount of fullness in order to live and move and hav» our being, but the styles are narrow, straight, with out a flare. And so, we fool both the styles and our own demand for com fort by straight pleats which fall Into .‘lim lines when at rest and allow com fortable width when called upon to give it. * Young girls are wearing large flat rectangular buckles of silver on Col onial pumps.
