Dear Miss Fairfax: Could you through tlie columns of your paper give the address of any firm in Oma ha w here l may obtain arms for doll bodies? I have quite a few good bodies on hand that could he fitted up for poor kiddies if I could get pretty hands somewhere. I would send an addressed envelope, but I am sure there must be many mothers who would like to know about doll rcfiairs, for many of us are too far from any large rily to shop in person. Yours very truly. MRP. E. Write to the Dolly Hospital. 203 Gardner building. Omaha. Miss Straight: Surely there is something wrong somewhere, my dear. There are any number of fine young men of good moral character. Perhaps you are just a little too prudish, or it may be that you are not meeting the right sort. Almost Beautiful: Personality is what you lack, my dear. It is not always the pretty girl who is popular. From your letter I gather that you are not a. "good mixer." while on the other hand your chum is bright and clever, and no doubt is at her beet when she la in a crowd.

The (iamn of "I Seo.” Tommy Fox had plenty of cousins of his own age who lived near him in the pasture, next, the woods. These youngsters had many a frolic together. Sometimes they played hide-and-seek. Sometimes they pretended to hunt one another. Sometimes they did this; sometimes they did that Now, everybody knows that all games become tiresome if played too much. So one evening when Tommy Fox told his cousins that he would teach them a new game, they were de lighted. "What's it called'."’ they asked him. “ ’I See,’ ’’ said Tommy Fox "And this is the way you play it: 1 11 say. T see a frog jumping" And then I'll It geeat fun But flying without wings was itasd work Jump like a frog—this way. And ev erybody must follow me and do just as I do." "That's a dangerous game. Let's not play it: ' cried one of the cousins, whom everybody else thought some what stupid. The whole company laughed at him. And then they all began to follow 1 Tommy Fox about the pasture. All his cousins Jumped behind hint—ex cept the one who thought the game ! was dangerous. When Tommy had jumped long enough to suit him, he said to the cousin nearest him. "You're next. ' "1 see a crow flying'." cried that j cousin. He leaped as high as he could into the air and flapped his legs wildly. In another moment they were all leaping and flapping, leaping and flap ping—except the dull cousin who was afraid to play. Tt was great fun. T>ut flying with out wings was hard work. Soon the leader stopped, saying to the cousin who was nearest him, "You're next." While this cousin was making up hts mind whether to see a fish swim ming or a hen scratching, somebody else spoke up. It was the cousin who thought the game was unsafe. It wasn't his turn; but he spoke up j Just the same. WINTER HATS $1 $3 $5 Saturday 1S12 Farnam "I see a. dog tunning'." ho cried. And off he dashed. "Como bock! Como back!" all his cousins barked after him. "You must wait jour turn." Rut the follow never stopped. "Let him go!" said somebody. "It’s a good joke on him. He thinks we’re following him.” The l-'ox cousins smil'd at one an other. And tho one whose turn it really was cried, "I see a fish swim ming!” But nobody paid the slightest heed to him. At that moment Tommy Fox exclaimed, "Run! Hunt Here’s old dog Fpot:'’ There was a great scattering then. The cousins went bounding away in every direction. Home ran Into the woods. Some scurried over the hill. Others headed for Cedar Swamp. As for Tommy he hurried down to the farmyard. ‘•Old dog Spot will t>e busy for an hour. Tljls is a good time to get a hen." lie thought. He got his hen. And going home, later, ho met the cousin who had cried, "I see a dog running!” "You played out of turn," Tommy told him. "What do you mean?" asked the slow-witted cousin| "When j'ou called, ‘I see a dog run ning,’ It wasn’t your turn.” "But 1 wasn't playing. I did see a dog running. I saw old Spot com ing across the pasture. It's a danger ous game, just as I said.” Tommy Fox had to admit that his cousin was light. (Copyright, 1922.1 My Marriage Problems Adc-le Qarison'a New Phase of "Hevtlations of a Wife.” How Madge Carefully Played Her Part for Dicky. There was in Dicky’s eyes as he j came up to me under the station ; light a distinctly wary look. It was a look which, I imagine. \ cry wife receives at some time or other from her life partner, when he knows he has almost exhausted her patience. But even through the tense ness of the moment It reminded -me irresistibly of the expression I had seen in the eyes of mischievous schoolboys who, upon facing the teacher, were not quite sure Just what fate was to be meted out to them. r knew that he was absolutely un certain as to my mood. 11 is imagin ation, always lively, must have pic tured me reading the morning papers with their bizarre accounts of his es- j capade. It was humiliating reading | for any wife, and he must have told I himself that my grievance would be augmented by the fact that 1 had had no suspicion of Claire Foster's proximity to his social horizon. He had left home to go to the Adirondack camp of the "best-selling” author whose work he was to Illus trate, and since then—save for a hur ried, perfunctory note—I had re ceived no word of him. His beseech ing telegram had brought me to him, but I was sure that he had counted upon my sense of conjugal duty, in herited from my Puritan ancestors, rather than upon my affection, when he dispatched it. “How ts Claire?” All in all, 1 told myself a hit grimly, my Peter Pan was facing realities Bazar Tonight at Lady of Lourdes Parish Hall An electric "washer, an electric vacuum cleaner and a 2tipiece set of silver will be offered as door prizes at the Christmas bazar of Our Lady of Lourdes parish, held at the parish ball, Thirty-second and Francis streets, last night, and to be held again to night. Three sodalities will be represented at the bazar. The men will have charge of a country store. The young ladies’ sodality, headed by Miss Sue Moriarity. have dressed dolls and the married women's organization will of fer a wide selection of jellies, jams and home-made cakes. Rev. Stephen L. Dowd, parish pas ter, is directing his energy into mak ing the first Christinas bazar of the parish a success. The parish aid society of Trinity church will conduct a sale of hand made novelties and useful articles at Trinity parish house Saturday, open ing at JO a. m. Home cooked foods will be a feature of the bazar. In connection with the sale the women's auxiliary will serve a luncheon at noon nt the parish house. The women of St. Margaret Marys parish will conduct a Christmas Bale of hand made articles at the school, Fiftieth and California streets, this evening. At St. Phillip Neri church of Flor ence there will be a card party Sat unlay afternoon at 2:30. in connection with the Christmas bazar. To Have Xmas Guests. Mrs. George Thumniel is expecting her father, George II Congdon, of Rochester. N. Y.. and her brother, Lyman Allen Congdon and Mrs. Cong don, to l>c her guests for the Christ mas holidays. A number of affairs will be given in their honor. Engagement Tea. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Sliafton announce the engagement of their daughter, Rose Louise, to Harry A. Frankel, son of Mrs. S.

I knew, were furtively watching me, I am afraid I should have given him a greeting which for chilly hauteur would have confirmed his verst imaginings of my attitude. But with the knowledge of that furtive, dangerous surveillance behind me. I smiled at him and lifted my face to be kissed in the most approved wifely welcoming fashion, after saying with what I fancied was just the right touch of solicitude: " ‘Lo, Dicky. Are yon sure you're not a bit hurt? And how is Claire?" That there was not a more sur prised nor a more gateful man in the surrounding county 1 judged from the warmth of the kiss and embrace he gave me. But partly from necessity, partly from a little malicious dcsirfe to wound him, which only an offended wife could understand, I punctured his pleasant reaction with the mur mured words against his coat collar: "Careful. Reporters just behind us. Play up!’ What Madge Demanded. I felt his arms stiffen, then relax, and knew that lie had comprehended the stiletto thrust 1 had hidden be hind the warning. I practically had told him that my kiss and cheery greeting were but eomouflage, and that the reckoning between us had not been cancelled. It was only de ferred.' But he quickly seized my cue, and answered me in tones suf ficiently loud to be heard by any sur reptitious listeners: “Haven’t a scratch, thank you. Claire’s left arm and shoulder are a bit bruised, she says, and I think she’s suffering a little from nervous shock, although she won’t admit it. But now you’re here she'll tie all right. 1 sent word to her you’d be around to see her in the morning.” “In tho morning! ’ I echoed. “Why not tonight? Poor girl, it must be awful for her here, away from every body! I want to git her home with 1 us as soon as we ran. Is she able t*> go. do you think?" "I'm sure she will bo able to travel j by tomorrow." he returned, "and as 1 for seeing her tonight you can, all right. It Isn't so terribly late and 1 ran get a motor lo go over to the resort. I thought you'd be too tired to attempt it." "What nonsense'." I gibed. I am not so easily fatigued. But I warn | you I'm terribly hungry. Will they have anything to eat out there?" "You'd better cornu right over with me to my hotel here," he said with a solicitude which at any other time would have delighted me. but which gave mo no slightest thrill of appro : elation. "You mustn't wait for that I 20-mile-drive." — i I "But, indeed. I shall." r returned, determinedly. "TWen'r* miles—that's an hour at -the longest. Telephone ahead, therein a dear, and ask them to have something hot ready when we get. there. They'll do it, won’t they?” "Oh. they'll do it," he acknowledged reluctantly. "Blit are you sure—” "Dick Graham." 1 faced him with wifely mllilanee, “you're the most provoking man I know! I don't want to cat here. I want to get out there first. Please step fussing and get a car.” And as he turned away from the lit tle waiting room where he had found me a seat while he talked. I felt that I had played the role of an unsus picious, unoffended wife satisfactorily. Miss Swanson lo Wed. Miss Beatrice Victoria Swanson, former secretary of the V. W. C.
