Dear Miss Fairfax: Could you

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

Miss Straight: Surely there is
something wrong somewhere, my

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

TOMMY FOX.
ADVENTURER
bBY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY
i_
CHAPTER XIH.
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.

"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.

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

mul finding them rather distasteful.
If it had'not been for the reporters,
who. 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.
