S L EL E PY-TIME TALES (Tr«4«**'k JIMMY RABBIT . ONCE MORE BAILEL CHAPTER XXIX. I nr la Isaac Meets With an Accident. Uncle Isaac had spent the night at the home of his sister. Mrs. Bunny, and her husband. After sleeping soundly all night, while the wind howled outside. Uncle Isaac rose the next morning and ate a huge break fast. When the meal was finished Mr. Bunny remarked that it was a fine, brisk day for traveling. "I suppose.” he said to Uncle Isaac, "you'll want to stall on your Journey 1 iglit away.” Uncle Isaac did not reply at once. He made a wry face and rubbed one of his knees. ”1 don't know." he said at last with n sigh—"I don't know whether I'd better travel today. My rheumatism has coma back. I believe I ought to keep pretty quiet for about "4 hours. My knee is stiff this morning." "A good, lively run ought to make ] It limber," Mr. Bunny suggested hope fully. Uncle Isaac did not take kindly to tfiat idea. "If I used this knee today," he de dared with a groan, "I wouldn't be able to take another jump for weeks." "You mustn't think of tra\cling to day," said Ids sister, Mrs. Bunny. "Slay here with ns. And maybe you ought to go to lied." "Will you bring my meals to me?" Uncle Isaac asked her quickly. “Certainly!’ Mrs. Ttunnv told him. “If I'm too busy, Belinda can take them to you. . . . You'd he clad to wait on your poor uncle, wouldn't you Belinda?" Belinda said yes, rather faintly. “if you want anything when Be linda and I are hoth busy," Mrs. Bunny told her brother, “William Henry, here, will he delighted to bring it to you—won't you, William Henry?" William Henry was Mr. Bunny him self. Now, he had a notion that Uncle Isaac s knee wasn't stiff at all. Certainly their guest had hopped up to the breakfast table without a hint of lameness. “I shan't he at home today,” Mr. Runny told his wife. "I have im portant business to attend to.” He •Vidn't mean to wait on his lazy brother-in-law. "That's n pity,” said Mrs. Bunny. “I’m preparing some extra good meals today, on account of our having Un cle Isaac with us.” “Prepare a plenty, sister." Uncle Isaac piped up. “Perhaps William Henry will finish his business sooner than he expects. He might come homo sooner than he thinks. But if he doesn't, we'll try- to eat everything up. I know there's nothing so dis rouraging to a housewife as to get a big meal and have a lot of it left over." Then Uncle Isaac stood up. And without thinking what ho was doing, he started to dance a Jig. He was in ! fin© spirits, for he was going to have a day of rest, with nothing to do except to eat meals that somebody was going to bring 'to him. "Feeling better, aren’t you?" Mr. Runny asked him. "You act as spry as a youngster." Uncle Isaac dropped on the floor as if he had been shot. He gave a rhrill cry as if he were in great pain. “My poor, poor knee!” he wailed. *'I forgot all about it. Help me to Careful! Careful!" y«de Isaac cautioned him in a frightened voice, bed. William Henry! There's a good fellow!" Mr. Bunny grabbed his brotharin law by his long ears and dragged him j across the floor. "Stop!” shrieked Mrs. Bunny, i “Don't do that! Lift him, William Henry!" Mr. Bunny was somewhat undersir.- i ed. while Uncle Isaac was a great, fat | person. Mr. Bunny looked at Mrs. Bunny. There was a glitter in her eye. He bent over then, and with a great effort he raised Uncle Isaac off the floor. ‘‘Careful! Careful!" Uncle Isaac cau tioned him in a frightened voice. Mr. Bunny only raised him higher. And then something happened. Per haps Mr. BuVmy stepped on an acord. Maybe he stubbed his toe on the threshold. Possibly he walked on Un tie Isaac's coattails. Anyhow. he lurched forward suddenly. And Un cle Isaac fell upon the floor with a dull thud. "My goodness!" Uncle Isaac scream ed. “You’ve broken every bone in my body. I shan't be able to travel be fore spring."

"I think mademoiselle mentioned broiled fowl and pepperless I ooulllon. Has she any other com mands'.’" % She gave him a roguish push. "Get away with you, till I think!" she cried. "l'ou're worse than a. huMileblee. I.et me see." She put her forefinger to her fore- I head, and then after half a minute's consideration she glanced up at him ' coquettlshly. "Hors d'oeuvres." she said. “Oh. oodles of ’em. Especially those dar ling little cookie-shaped things with caviar, and Those anchovy strips. Then a cream of celery soup, but be sure it Isn't too tliirk—If you go to a good place they ought to do it well - broiled chicken or squab, writh French frieds, asparagus tips with drawn butter, a salad of endive, to mato and green pepper, an ice. mould ed. some Camemhcrt and coffee." Dicky Takes (la ire's Order. Dicky carefully wrote it all down in the most approved fashion, and I ' ■ inhered if he were mentally reckon in'-: as 1 was, the probable cost of the dinner she had ordered, served, as she adoritly had stipulated from a yood place." When he had finished he bowed low. "Is that all mademoiselle wishes?" he asked guilelessly. "1 think that will hold pie for a few minutes," she retorted. "How HlM'Ut you. Madge? Does that, go double for you, or is there something else you'd rather have?” Her manner was so insolent in its assumption that she was the one whose wishes were most to he con sidered, and I was only an after thought, that for a flaming second 1 could not answer her. T shall always be proud of the fact that I was able to pull myself together and speak in carefully nonchalant tones. "It certainly goes double. You have •elected my own favorites." "It Certainly Goes Double." The sense of economy which my Puritan ancestay planted in me had urged me to make my own order a much simpler one. I knew that noth ing could so offend Dicky as such a procedure, but the necessity for Duplicating the expensise order did ia cuarantaad by M yaara aarcice to Bullions of Aaierlcaaa.

"One of 'em told me once: "Mademoiselle of a certainty is of so much something or other— French for cat's cream. I suppose— in a dinner order.’ And I've had other people tell me the same thing In less picturesque language. But what are you waiting for, old dear?" She turned her fine eyes on Dicky. "Do you realise that Ini starving to death? Haven't you enough Iron men in your jeans to kick in for the grub? Spill it quick if that’s what you want, for I'm well heeled." Now. the * absolutely unpardonable oi ini affront In Dicky’s eyes, as in many men's, is the assumption that h ■ does not carry around with him enough cash to insure any woman of his acquaintance anything in the way of food or entertainment her caprice may fancy. So at Claire Foster's audacious little speech I shot a quick, startled glance at him, and caught the involuntary angry frown, which, Jhowever, he managed to banish be fore Claire, apparently absorbed in the contemplation of her own cleverness, looked at him. ‘‘Don't worry, little one,* he ad jured her laughingly. "My pockets are weightly with coin and my bill fold Is heavy with yellow-backs. And you shall have your heart's—I mean your tummy's—desire as fast as I can speed up a restaurant head wait er. Anything you want. Madge, in the line of supplies for breakfast? There are some good shops around here, and I might as well order the stuff now." “Is this what you call speeding?" Claire asked ironically. "Waiting while Madge makes up a grocery list? What's the big Idea, anyway?" Uncle Sam Says: Bird House*. In a few weeks bur feathered friends will be looking for a home in which to bring up their little families for the coming year. They are easy to encourage, and a little effort on our part will induce them to build their homes on our premises.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I would be very much obliged if you would lake the time to answer the following: Why is it. that when a boy and girl are going together, that when the girl is away on a vacation she thinks It perfectly all right to accept the invitations of other boys, but that her boy friend, while she is gone, must not go out with other girls'.’ I have asked many girls their tea son for this, but they don't seem to give a fair answer, so I have come to ybu for an answer, if you can give one. Tours truly, BLONDY. As far as I know, the young man is entitled to the same privileges as i the girl in the case. I npopular: Girls at 13 often get the notion they are unpopular. Really the troub|e is that they are young and self-conscious. They are neither • children nor grown women. Your 1R0 pounds of weight may estrange you a little from your friends, but you will probably thin out as you crow up. "Watch your diet and get plenty of exercise. X Y Z: I think a girl of 16 should give more heed to her parents than you seem to be giving. Postpone your marriage for some time yet A flapper is a young woman of modern type. A man should walk on the out side. meaning the side of the walk nearest the sued. When there arc two girls, the man may very properly walk between them, or on the outside. Usually he finds -it more friendly to walk between them. 1 cannot person ally recommend the toilet article you mention for your hair. Skating Etiqurl. I'car Miss Fairfax: We are two girls just over front tlie old country. We are fine skaters, as that's all \vr have done over there in winter. We are not used to tlfp skating rules of the United States of America and would like to get a little help on It. The boys like to skate with us an aw ful lot because we know how, but we don’t know how to act. Should tin boy hold a girl s hand at skating? Should we skate with all the boys or just a few? Is it all right to let one take ua honi% and carry our skates? Should we go in and eat cof fee with them in an eating house when the clock is pretty late? Now. don't think we are just writing for | fun, because we really want to know, i Now answer in the paper real, real 1 quick, a a it means a lot to us to know : how to net in this country, as we really did know in the "old country." i "Tusen Tack." STENA AND LENA. My dear girls, manners are in | ternational; things that are right I in the old country are right here. If you are more comfort able and sure of your footing holding the boys’ hands, fly all means hold , them while ekaUng. Skate with all the boys that you know' are men and you would want to make your friend:.; that is, if soil know they are decent and honorable young men. The same rules apply to the walk homo: if they are good enough to skate with, it. would surely be all right to walk home with them, and even stop to drink coffee (though perhaps not to cat it>. nf course they should carry your skates. How ii and (Ini: Of course you did j wrong to write a girl ami tell her i you must be strangers when you fab j rryPISO’s] COUGH ibMM pletMnt-no up- I Ml «toni«eh—ao !■ ly lovo her. What she did was not wrong, anyway. If \ou caret! for her as much as you say, why didn't you dance with her? You say you don't know how to* dance. You can learn, can't you? The girl should not like you just because you dance, or like you because you do not, but don't you see that you will alwajs lose something m her estimation when j-ou take her to a dance and sit around while she picks up her dances from other men? lSIther stay away from the dances or go and let her teach you how to dance.' Anyone with any gumption can learn! She will love to teach you if she cares for you, and it will do more Tor your case than unkind and petulant letters. ^ Oil Station: You will have to get your information regarding oil filling stiftions directly from the company you mention. Write them here in Omaha and I am sure they will give you a prompt and explicit reply. Anxious Helen: I’sually T would, advise a girl of IS not to marry, hut under the clreumstances you describe. 1 would be willing to give my consent and blessing. ti a girl and hoy marry in a slate where they' are of legal age, their mar riage is legal.
