Her father never went further than the fourth grade of grammar school ami he has always gotten along all rlgh and owns his own business now. He cannot see why our daughter needs so much education, hut of course she and I do. She has hoped to go to college, too, hut I guess that Is hopeless because her father would never furnish the money. I have tried to save for lt( but my‘husband lets me charge things to hint and he desn't give me any money of my own. About six months ago our bill was charged with silk stockings soil a pair of shops I never bought. My husband said he would not pay the bill and he never did. Now we are charged again with two pairs of silk stockings, silk for « dress and a silk scarf. I opened the bill when it came and I was so angry I went to see about the mistake myself. They looked up the charge and the clerk who sold the things said she sold them to my daughter. I don't know what to do shout it. Should I pre tend to her father that I bought the things myself? lie Is very good to me and would not say a word. How should I punish my daughter so that she won't do such a thing again? jyNXiors .vfoTi i b r. Your daughter's deceit is a very se rious thing and she should not he shielded from punishment. My ad vice Is to tell her father what hap petted, it may be that after the truth comes nut the father will see that he Is not giving his daughter the clothes she needs. A Selfish Young Man. Dear Miss Allen: I am 20 and have been going about ttdlh a voting mao for the i>ast year. A few months ago we started having disagreamems. In the meantime I met someone else who treats me with more consideration. I like both very much, but the first young man will not be satisfied with being only a friend. 1 want to be a friend to both. Please fell me what to do. PERPLEXED. You are right In wishing to keep both young men for friends, Per plexed, since you are not In love with cither. Explain this to the first young man. Tell hint that you ap predate his friendship, hut cannot promise him not to go about with your other friends as well. If he cares for you he will accept your friendship on these terms. Blonde: Prove by your rondtid that you are tvorthy of their son, and (he parents will be glad to have him marry you. Miss Mary Ellen Md-aughlln of Sioux City, la., will arrive early in February to be the jjuest for a week of Miss Edith Royal Tyler. t-coi.on CUT-OUTS-\ Red Ridinghood V✓ A Narrow Earn pa. "My, grandmother, what big teeth you have!” ■creamed the little Rcil Rldlnghood, now nearly Beared nut of her wlta, for aurely tills creature In the bed couldn't he her nice, kind grandmother. "The better to eat you up with,” cried the wolf In the bed, and be threw bhk the covers mid Jumped out at her. Now she knew tlint It was, Indeed, the wolf who had spoken to her so politely that very afternoon. She gave a loud scream and ran for the door, but the wolf was right after her. She saw him open his hlg Jaws and then — "Bang!1’ The wolf fell hack on the bed. Some one had shot him from the window. (Here's the hunter who saved little Red RMInghood's life. Color tils suit tan. There'll be something else for him to wear tomorrow). (Cugmihl. mi.) What Madge Finds Beyond the Kittle Gate. .At my suggestion that I take charge of the J100 which Mother Ora ham was currying to the mysterious appointment she had made, she start ed violently, clasped her fingers con vulsively about (he ledge of the taxi cab window and turned a frightened face to me. V"'Vhat do you mean?" she asked. "Have you repented—lending—giving it to me. Oh, Margaret. Don't say that! I must have it this morning. I must.” I loosened her twitching fingers from the ledge and gathered them tightly in my own, the while her eyes gazed feverishly into mine. "Of course, you're going to have it," I said, "if you so desire, hut— forgive me, mother, if I'm wrong— I don't believe it is your real wish to use this money as you intend doing, and I thought it would be safer with me until you dPt-ide just what you wanted to do. I give you my word, that if you ask me for it this morn ing I will give it to you." Her Color Heel. The eolor drained out of her faco as she looked at me. "What do you know of what I in lend doing?” she asked. Should I tell her of I.ee Chow and his protecting espionage upon her? The question which flashed into my brain was met promptly by a decided appearance upon the scene of the faithful Chinese. If it became necesary she would have to know of the exist ence of Hugh Grantland s loyal ser vant. But just now such knowledge on her part appeared to me highly inadvisable. "Of nty -own knowledge—nothing," I parried. "But, surely, mother, dear, it doesn't take a very keen in telligence to deduce that some one must he demanding money of you for some reason,” She closed her eyes for a second, as if to shut out the sight of some thing horrifying, then opened them and looked at me with Infinite sad ness. "l‘m like an ostrich, Margaret, hid ing my head in the sand,” she said. "I've known all along you must have guessed, Hut I couldn't bring myself to tell you. Even yet— when thdl-'s a chance that there may he some mis take—I can't—can't find words-” Her voice choked into sobs, which she struggled bra.vply to control, and I lightened m.v elasp upon her hands. - "You shall lell me nothing, mother, until you choose," I said reassuring ly. "But for your sake, I think you ought to let me carry the money, don't you?” . w "Yes, I do," she returned unex pectedly, sitting upright and twist ing hpr hands aw-ay from mine. "Here:" Bhe thrust her hand into her pockpt and brought out a neat little white package secured with rubber bands, which she handed to me. 1 put it into my bag, secured it, and turned to her again. “Only one more question, mother, tl■>ar.•' I said. "Is this—person—who is threatening you, apt to hurt you In any way?” "Only In my heart," ,she returned, pitifully. "But." T protested, "you know they found you unconscious when you went out to this woodland the other time." "X know,” she returned, "but no one struck me or hurt me In any way. It was the awful shock of see ing-. I must have fainted. I don’t remember anything after——." Her voice trailed wav again Into tearful silence and I aaw that I could got nothing more out of her. The taxi was slowing down, and aeelng that we were nearing the houae whose address we hud given the driver. I spoke softly, wwrnlngly to my mother in-law. "Dry your eyes quickly," I said. "We shall be getting out In a few seconds " She obeyed me at once, so success fully that there was nothing unusuat in her appearance when we alighted and dismissing the driver, proceeded slowly up the walk to the house which we hud selected as our pretended des tination. Fortunately, there was no one at home, so there was no need for us to go through the farcical Inquiry con cerning Imaginary occupants which I had planned. Retracing our ateps to the gate, we turned In the direction of the pipe line and went through| the little gate, which admitted ua to that odd thoroughfare^ neither road nor lane, which covers the conduit carrying a reserve supply from the ponds of Long Island to the city water works. Our detour had taken ua a good quarter of a mile away from the woodland hack of the Purkee house, which was our destination. But I knew that we had plenty of time to meet Mother Graham's appointment at 10 o'clock, so I made no atterqjit to hurry her alow, faltering steps. Kor my own part, however, I was anxious to get away from the place, for It held memories which I was not anxious to bring bark. And then, suddenly, as If an arresting hand had born laid upon my shoulder, 1 stop ped short, threw my head up tn start led Incredulity. For all around mo arose the elusive fragrance of wild roses wet with dew. “Eclipse” Week Sales NEW SPRING STYLES Vie With MIDWINTER CLEARANCE reflecting — not shadows— but brightness, goodwill to women.
