Reddy Woodpecker wished that he hiqn t been to pleasant to hi couin Mr. Flicker. It wat all well enough (or Mr. Flicker to drum upon Red dy 't bit of tin on the roof of the he flew rldbt ove M. Flickerle held. barn o long as he drummed late in the morning. But when he drummed . early, as he sometimes did. it usually happened that Reddy had to wait before he could begin his own morn ing tattoo. And Reddy Woodpecker didn't like that at all. In fact, it seemed to him that Mr. Flicker had quite forgotten his manners. For. if he happened to reach the barn first, he never stopped drumming until he had all but drummed his head off. At least, that was the way it seemed to Reddy Woodpecker. At such times Reddy did every thing he could think of short of actually fightingr-to make Mr. Flick er stop. He made a sound like a tree toad, ktr rr, ktr-r-r. He tapped on the shingles with his bill. He flew right ovr Mr. Flicker's head. But it seemed as if Mr. Flicker limply couldn't take a hint. ' "I don't like to order him to hop away," thought Reddy. He's my cousin. Besides; he's bigger than I am; and he does look terribly fierce with that black mustache." Though he may have looked fierce, Mr. Flicker always acted in the most pleasant manner possible. And when ne finished his drumming, he never failed to ask Reddy Woodpecker ho whe liked it. . It was a hard question tor Reddy I: a. l. ........ u- j: .... r. to answer, uclausc 11c uiuii i iai in the least for Mr. Flicker's tattoos. He thought his own were far better. Sometime Reddy pretended not to hear his cousin's question, but started drumming at once.". Sometimes he said, "I believe that's an improve ment over yesterday's tattoo.", And at last he exclaimed one morning'. You ought to join the Woodchuck brothers I" Mr. Flicker was a great person to ask. "Why?" He asked it now. "Because" Reddy told him, "the Woodchuck brothers are famous whistlers. And they need somebody to drum for them while they whistle. I've often heard them chirping away Recent Bride us II J y 1 1 My Marriage Problems Adsl. U arris ea's hrm Phase el "Revelations of a Wife" (Cwrlgh. lit!) , A quiet wedding was solemnired at the home of B. F. Thomas, 3225 Pop pleton avenue, at 3:30 Sunday after noon, when Miss Elmina Burke and De Witt C Weber of Lincoln were united in marriage by Rev. J. J. Bar ton of the Immanuel Baptist church of Omaha. Mrs. Weber is the daughter of Mrs. Jennie Burke of Lincoln and has just graduated from the state uni versity. The bride wore a gown of white crepe de chene and carried a shower of sweetpeas and' Ophelia rose's. Mrs. Lucille Thomas Chindor was matron of honor and Mr. George Olson of Stromsburg, cousin of the groom, was groomsman. Mr. and Mrs. Weber will live in Lincoln. by themselves over in the pasture. And. as you must know, there's no music that sounds better than drum ming, with a little shrill whistling to go with it unless it s a little whist ling, with plenty of loud drumming." Mr. Flicker s favorite word Why" sprang to his bill again. "Why," he nquired, do you not drum for the Woodchuck brothers yourself?" . Reddy Woodpecker shook his head. "I want to practice more, before I join a troupe he said. "There!" Mr. Flicker exclaimed. I like to hear people talk that way. That shows that you don't think vou're the best drummer in Pleasant Valley." I don't, eh?" said Reddy. "No, you don't 1" said Mr. Flicker. And, it was plain that he didn't think so, either. But before Reddy could, make up his mind to quarrel with his cousin, Mr Flicker asked him another question not "Why?" but "Where?" Where said Mr. flicker earn estly "where can one find these Woodchuck brothers?" ' "One can find them in .the pasture, unless they're in the clover patch. Just now they are probably in the pasture, for it's a bit early in the season for clover. The pasture 1" repeated Mr. Flicker. "Ah! There must be ant hills in the pasture." . v "Hundreds of them!" said Reddy. 'Then I'll go to see the Wood chuck brothers at once," Mr. ' Flicker decided. So he flew off. Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Afraid of. Marriage. My Dear Miss Fairfax; I have been trying to aolve my own prob lems, but cannot, bo I am asking you and eome of the readers for ad vice., l nave none wiin a man ior a long time and because of unfriend ly feelings between my parents and him I have tried to quit him many times, but it seems that we always go bacfc again, as. we cannot get along without each other. I have - thought many times I would give him up and then when he is with me J feel as if I cannot. We are now engaged, but some times I become so dissatisfied that I wonder If I did the right thing in saying . "yes." My parents are wealthy and if I marry I will be giving up my good times arid the things to which I have been accus tomed. Miss Fairfax, ' would this negative advice from my parents and my own fear of entering married life make me unhappy, or am I in love as I should be? I wonder if mar ried life appalls every girl as it does me? Some of you that have had ex perience, please tell me, as I am so worried I am nearly sick. A FRIEND IN NEED. You do not tell me why your par ents object to the young man. How do their objections fit with what you know of him from your personal experience? You ought not to marry him unless you trust him. Every girl who contemplates marriage in the right spirit feels that it is a serious step, and a good many are "appalled," as you say, at the pros pect of shouldering all he responsi bilities that go with married life. You have to expect to give up some of the things that you have always thought were fun. but as a rule the joys that come from a home and the companionship of a congenial husband afld your chil dren more than compensate for the good times you have to do without. If you don't honestly feel that the ' exchange is worth while I don't be- ' lieve you are really in love. Ask yourself whether you are. funda mentally congenial, whether you could care about the man year in and year out, or whether the attrac tion he has for yoa is one which is likely not to last. Since yOu have known him a long ime, it does not sound like a passing- fancy, but only you can decide whether you love him or not. Rose: You ask me what books you should read to improve your mind, and you say you are in the eighth grade. Your teacher can give you a reading list, or. if you go to the public library and ask for the reference librarian, she will be de lighted to help you choose . some books. Some good books which are Mmr to read and which rank as classics are Blackmore's "Lorna Doone": "Pride and Prejudice." by Jan Austen; "Treasure Island, by stntiuon: "Oliver , Twist" and "David Copperfield.". by Charles THMrans- "Main nr Trdn hv Howard Pyle. "The Story of Ab," by Waterloo, la a story, but contains much that is interesting and accu rate about our ancestors of the tone axe. If you wish some typical American books, read "Bamona," by Helen Hunt Jackson; "The Vir ginian," by Owen Wister; "Bob Son of Battle," fey Ollphant, which is a J., rinnf mr,A TtT ahtn An TnHnf't "Sketch Book." The best way to learn to enjoy deep books is to start a those which are gpt too heavy and which have an Interesting story to hold your attention. All of these I mention I think you will tnorougn ly enjoy. And the best way to learn to love books is to keep reading. . A Reader: If your wedding break fast is a formal affair,-only the wed ding party is seated at the bride's table and the rest of the guests at small tables. If it is a email wed ding, and you are all to be one big table, the groom should sit on your right. The bridesmaid should sit at his right and the best man next to her. The attendants always stand during the ceremony; whether it is at church, at home or at the court house. - Why Madge and Allen Drake Had Silent Disagreement. Reaction inevitably follows the tensest of situations, and I think re taxation which the discovery of Katie s audacity gave tie. At any rate, Lillian's exclamation was like a key unlocking our rtsiblei Allen Drake led off with I hearty guffaw o oddly contrasted with hi usual cynical poise that 1 stared at him in silent amazement, and Lillian, my father and I joined him in chorus of laughter. For a tense second, Katie stood motionless, patently undecided be- i twren offended dignity and mirth. Jhen her face relaxed, a.id the gig- E.ed gleefully, all her fright forgot ten, as it Jvatie volatile way. "Where are those scissors which are to needed to complete thit film Allen Drake asked when we had fin ally settled back into composure, "Katie, I am to lott in eontempla- tation of your geniut that I know I never shall find myself again, until I see the end of this reel, to prithee let me mvnt the scissors. His eyes rested on the girl with exactly 'the same expression, I told myself hotly, that they would have held were he suddenly confronted with an unusually clever performing seal. To me Katie is at vivid, lov- able, human personality, to Allen Drake, I saw clearly that at this mo ment she was an impersonal problem, a iitt(e less than human, whose an tics appealed both to his sense of humor and to. his love of tormenting, an instinct possessed by anything masculine, but which ts especially wen developed in Allen Drake. '; "Dot's It." Katie's broad smile vanished abruptly at hit request, and I taw her eyes flash, ominously. She could not understand his vocabulary, but her keen preceptions told her that he was making fun of her. I inter vened quickly, for I had no desire to .discipline the girl for another outburst of rudeness. "There are some scissors in a desk here." I Said, rising and crossing the room to a desk in which I kept a few extra sewing things. "Come here, Katie." I made my voice kindly, but peremptory, and the girl walked dbediently toward me, giving me the opportunity 1 wished to speak to her. I changed my position so that I ef1 fectuallv shielded Katie from Mr. Drake's observation as. I murmured softly. "Katie, for my sake, don't notice anything he says. Into her big eyes came the look of fidelity one always associates with a faithful dog. ' With only a com prehending, little nod she took the scissors and returned to my mother-in-law's bandbox, while - I constrain ed myself to suppress the indignant frown which I knew my face held for Allen Drake. With quick deft fingers Katie rip ped a piece of the velvet covering the hat, and , drew from beneath it a folded paper,, which she held out to me, saying simply: Dot s it. I held it out to my father, who took it and scanned it for a second. Then he looked at Katie with kind ly relaxed face. . ' A Peremptory Tattoo. "Yes, this is the paper taken from the book., Thank you, Katie, you may go now. Mrs,' Graham will talk to you later." - . - Katie looked at the hat whose covering she had just ripped. "Vot you do mit dot?" she asked worriedly. "I'll atttnd to 4hat, Katie," I re turned. "It won't take but a minute. Go to bed now and try to get some sleep." She snatched my hand and kissed it. - "I tink I never sleep again," she said mournfully, then she went slow ly out of the room. "That's a good lie," Allen Drake said approvingly, "but I can't echo it. eperv madder gtvet Aer Mddies KELLOGG'S be case you can eef great bif bowl an' they fast. j : , they'rt all crispy - 1 . ; Jem ItttedGmi Flakes so enspy-cranckjr as KeflcI?

You' can keep your arms, neck or face free from hair, or fuzz by the occasional use of plain delatone and in using it you need have no fear of marring or injuring the skin. A thick paste is made by mixing some of the powdered delatone with water. Then spread on the hairs and after 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and all traces of hair have vanished.
