She hasn’t been feeling well for some time, and I think It would cheer her up to see you.” "Oh, I’d love to.” cried Red Rld Inghood, jumping up and dropping the doll she was playing with. "And may I take her some of the nice cookies I helped you make yesterday, mother.” "Of course you may. Now run get your hood and basket." So little Red Rldlnghood put on the dress you see here, which you must, color a soft pink, with stockings at»d slippers to match, and ran to find her cape. In tomorrow’s paper she will put on that wonderful cloak and set out on an adventure. (Cppyright. 1925.) Carey cleaning Fluid. !5c. at Druggtit* □r 521 Park Avp.—Advertisement. Boys Does Not Answer Letters. Dear Miss Allen: I am ^ *irl in my middle teens. I have written to a boy from another town for quite a while. He did not answer my last letter as soon as I thought he should, and so when t wrote him. I was rather harsh. He has .never answered. I would like your advice as to whether 1 should write again, as 1 regard his friendship very highly. PAT. You should not write again. The second letter’ was a mistake, and a third one would he juat that much worie. Two Ianiesoina Girls: People are very likely to he lonesome It they have nothing in their heads to keep them company. Try a little good reading, or some worth while pursuit, if It's nothing better than learning to he a good Skater. You will be happier If ybu have some definite aims. Busy people are never lone some. •lust Me: There's no real objection to serve pie, cake and. fruit whip at the same meal except that It is too much food. The best people don't do it. Ice cream and cake are all right together, omlce cream and pie. But the three dishes you mention are more than good taste permits. H. G.: Kven In a worldy way, it pays to make a klndneaa so much a rule of life that It Is second nature. And it's the only way to deserve or win true love. How Is the man you love going to know you truly if you play a part with him? He'll like you for yourself if you are natural and unassuming. Then when you wed there'll be no bitter disillusionment. So be natural If you’d be at ease and put others at ease—make real! friends and win true love honestly. Pals: A girl 6 feet 3 Inches tall, IS years old. should weigh 120 pounds. That weight Increases as she grows older, so that a woman of 60. that height, should weigh 143 pounds. Your writing Is legible. Worried: I think the young man who asks you not to go with the other boy is unreasonable. Bet him alone. He will get over his peeve. Smiles: If your girl chum la not refined and humiliates yon, better stop going with her. Continue giving her a friendship which may be help ful, but don't give her a companion ship which brings you no real pleas ure. Dood: Tour decision about the young man should rest on your re gard for him. You are young to mar ry, but with your father and mother dead, I think a bom* of your own would be the best place for you, pro vided you marry for love and not for the home. A girl of any pluck, and certainly a high school graduate, can earn her own living. So don't marry because you are lar.y and lacking in enterprise, but because you have found the man to whom you can be kind, faithful and loving, and a worthy wife. Mary Jane: No, please do not give a boy liberties with your person. Any book store can supply you with a volume on et.iqutte. t!!!!—— ..-1—LL* ’ I M-i * Choice Beef Choicest Choice Beef Pot Roast Veal Roast Chuck Roast 9c 12ic 11c Choice Cut 1 Cr Fresh Leaf 1 CJLr Round Steak.Lard, per lb.

Qldele (?arrisd Madge Get* a Clue From a Torn Postcard. m Despite the vaunted impassiveuess of all Chiilese, there was a distinctly mournful cadence In Dee Chow's voice as he uttered the words, "and I never see big boss man again," which betrayed how deep and sincere was his affection for Hugh Grant land, whom be had served so long and so faithfully. Infinitely saddened by bis story, which had served to deepen my own conviction that Hligh Urantland was indeed lost to life. 1 could find no words to answer the faithful Chinese servant, who stood motionless before me, evidently waiting for some conj ment or query from ms upon the disclosures he hsd made. I threw out my hands toward hint In a baffled, futile gesture, and with a. comprehending look at me he took up his story where he had dropped it. "[># Chow wait one week, two weeks,” he said, "but big boss man never come back and no letter come from him. Dee Chow go his office; it all locked up, nobody there. Lee Chow no ask anybody, for big boss man always say, Lee1 Chow never meddle with my business. "When you meddle things not your affairs, then you have to go, you no more use to me. "Lee Chow think maybe big boss man come hack sometime, find out talkee talk, kick I.ee Chow out. But i.ee Chow got very sore heart, and at last he go In library and sit down before big boss man's desk and think hard. Shall lie open desk and see if hi can find something maybe tell him where to look for big boss I man?" "That Questioning Vigil." He irnused, evidently in reminis cence of his own quandry, while 1 had a swift nghntal photograph of that questioning vigil before his master's desk. ' l,e Chow think hard for ve' long time,'*-the monotonous voice went on, "and then he'open desk and look at. papers. He find nothing tell him any thing, but in wastebasket he find these." Fumbling In his coat he brought out an envelope, which he held out to me. I noticed that It had no scrap of writing upon It and I turned It over hesitatingly. "Open It," J,ee Chow commanTed, “but lose nothing." I obeyed him and drew from the envelope the torn fragments of a postal card of the same fashion as those which Hugh Grantland had sent me for so long. From his coat Lee Chow produced a thick manlla envelope and laid It down upon the tree trunk. "Put pieces on tills," he directed, Und I did so, fitting the torn edges together. My pulses accelerated as I saw that my name and address were Written on the card in the fashion made so familiar to me by Hugh Grantland'* faithful adherence to his self-imposed schedule of .mailing cards to me. Something else was on the card, also—a word followed hv the Initials N. Y., which had been so slashed across by an ink-dipped pen that I could discern bift a few letters' of it, it was pitifully clear what had hap pened. Hugh Grantland had written Iiis tiaual postal card to me, giving me his next change of address. Then for some reason be bad decided not to send it and had torn it up. after destroying, as he thought, the ad dress he had put down upon tto rat'd. With fingers that trembled I tool, up the fragments of curd with h con tained the ink-crossed ninie and jcanned closely. There had come to me suddenly and insistently the conviction that if I could decipher that name I would hold In my hands some clue, however faint, to the fate of Hugh Grantland, whose wild, weird letter to me, as well as his mysterious disappearance, pointed to his being involved in some tragedy. "May, I have these, Lee Chow?" 1 naked. He bowed low. "I bring them for you," he said. "Maybe you know something from them after a while about big boss man. Vou look, find out, then you tell Lee Chow. "I surely will tell you everything I ran find out, Lee Chow," I said earnestly. "Is there anything more you wish to tell me?” "No more,” he replied, "Lee Chow v>,.lit now for you: goodbye.'* Me stepped back and made a low otteleance, and clutching the envelope with its precious fragments In my hands 1 hurtled back to the Durkee house, bent upon getting hold of a powerful tending glass which I knew Alfred owned, In the hope that I might decipher the name of the town whleh Hugh Grantland had written. First making sure that Mother Ciuhniit still slept, I mails my way to the library where 1 knew the glass was kept. As I opened the door 1 saw Alfred himself seated at th* ta ble. his brad in his hands. Ills whole attitude expressive of the deepest des pondency. Mrs. .1. M.
