Red Ridinghood
V-—/
A Rose Garden Dress
"Come here, ^iear,"called little Red
Ridinghoods mother, one sunny day.
“I have just pressed your pretty pink)
dress and I think It would he so nice
if you would put It on and go visit
your poor grandmother. 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.

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.

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. Krug is at raxton Mr
mortal hospital, where she is suffer
ing from a nervous breakdown.
