V Hidden Castle.
The king and queen looked back
and saw a thick hedge spring up all
around the grounds in the center of
which their palace stood. Higher and
higher rose the hedge, covered with
'sharp thorns, so thick that no one
could possibly make his way through.
Then the fairy waved her magic
wand again and giant trees sprang up
in the palace >ard, hiding the palace,
so that only its towers could be seen
from the nearby hills.
"People will soon forget there was
ever a palace here." said the good
fairy. "The lovely princess can sleep
safely until the end of the hundred
\ears. when her prince comes to
waken her."
(Here i* a cloak, to be colored green,
which the queen pul on when she left
the palace. Watch color cut-outs next
week for the coming of the prince).

Her Parents Object.
Deal-Miss Allen: I am IS.md t liave
a young man friend who is a few
years my senor. 1 like him very
much and he has always treated me
very nicely.
My parent* do not w ish me to go
about with him. and t do not feel
that I can give him up. Please give
me your advice. D.
Your parents’ advice should guide
you, my dear—at least for a few
years more. t
AVIiat Is their objection in (Ids
young mah? Tliky probably have a
good reason for wishing you to give
Hint up. Parents, In all they do. arc
usually trying to help their daughters
find real happiness.
Peggy's Problem.
Dear Miss Allen: I am 19 and have
been going with a young man for
three years. Mv folks did not object
to our marriage, which was to be
soon. Now he does not write to me.
1 have written to him several times,
but lie does, not reply. Should 1 con
sider our engagement broken? Is it,
wrong to so with other boy friends?
PKGGY.
If you are reasonably sure that the
young man no longer cares for you
and has stopped Milling to make you
see how he feels, try to forget him
and go with other young men.
Not I.adylike to Flhi.
Dear Martha Allen: I noticed that
a. certain girl Mould like to know'
what a refined young man thinks of
a flirt, and embarrassing for the young
man she is trying to flirt with. This
applies whether it is done in a \ ill
gar manner or in a so-called ladylike
manner. A girl that will flirt is not
very much of a lady.
A YOt NCI MAN WHO KNOWS.
Thank you very much for express
ing your opinion of flirting.
Puzzled Pally: You're a little trou
ble maker, and your sister's fiance is
a pretty poor sort to engage in a
flirtation with you behind her hack.
Better tell your sisier the whole truth
and if I can read handwriting on the
wall she will rid herself of a double
croaser and philanderer before he
causes her further trouble and dis
tress. As for you, nothing good can
be said of a girl who doesn't know'
how to be loyal to her own sister.
Brown-Kjed Susan: I would advise
you to see a skin specialist. Semi
me a stamped, addressed envelope and
I will give you names of several.
Don't be overly sensitive about some
thing you can't help. Wear short
sleeves and low neck if possible. I
wonder if the skin spoOr are as bad
as you think they are. Come In and
see me. Perhaps I can help you.
Polly: Certainty leave your high
school sweetheart if you have found
some one you like belter. You arc
under no obligation to continue going
with the former boy.
Thank You: 1 do not bring about
acquaintances through these columns.

Madge IMscusses Mot her firalinm’.s
Problem* With Lillian.
For a few seconds after Lillian had
settled back in her chair, ready to
hear the things I wished to tell her.
I found myself at a loss to begin. 1
had two distinct problems in the solv
ing of which I needed her help.
.Neither of them were mine, although
both concerned me nearly. Hut one of
th queere little intuitions which some
times comes to me laid its inhibiting
hand upon my lips as they were about
to utter Hugh Oruiilland's name. So
I pushed aside the story of his disap
pearance and the advent of Lee ClioW
for some future confidence.
“it’s Mother Hrahain’s problem,” T
began lamely at. lost, the while 1 was
conscious that Lillian's keen eyes
were searching my face.
“It always is some other person’s
problem, not your own,” she retorted
with a warmth of affection in her
tone which made mo flush: “But go
on, spill it. What on earth has our
doughty mother-in-law been doing
now to get herself blackmailed?”
1 am afraid 1 was guilty of a wide
gaping stare af. Iter, so' astonished
was T at her prescience.
“How—how—did you know?” I fal
tered. but met a look as astonished
as my ow n.
"I didn’t know,” she said. "I was
only attempting a bit of alleged
humor. Suffering chipmunks, Madge,
you don't mean to tell me the old
girl—but go on. Tell the story your
own way. but bo quick about it. I
haven't been so excited since my
first government case, years and
sears ago. when T was only pdrd as
sistant bell boy.”
‘ It s a Sweet Mess.
I experienced a little thrill of
childish triumph at having been able
to disturb Lillian's poise, although I
realized that if anyone save an in
timate had been telling her the story,
she would have evinced no sign of
excitement. I began at Mother Gra
ham's first encounter with the mys
terious tramp, and gave every detail
down to my refusal to permit my
mother-in-law to fill In the blanks
until she was stronger. Only one
thing did I omit, and that was Lee
Chow's .participation in the affair.
That would mean the revelation of
the mystery surrounding Hugh
Gran Hand which 1 was not yet ready
to mention.
That the problem presented no
errat 'difficulty to Lillian. I knew
by her attitude. She leaned hack in
her chair, her e\cs fixed steadily
upon mlnp, her hands clasped lightly
In her lap. If -■lie had been greatly
puzzled. I knew only too well, the
familiar attitude of concentration
into which she would have fallen,
elbows on knees, and chin eupitetl
Into her palms.
"It's a sweet mess.” she comment
ed when I hail finished, "with the
chances about 50-50 on the fellow l»e
ing an impostor. He may be the
traiiitionai black sheep, which most

well regulated families boast. Along
with a radio and a motor car. Of
course I can't tell a thins until
Mother Oraham tells her end of the
yarn. Do you suppose she'll let, me
listen in, if 1 don't clatter the ca:
phones?"
Lillian's Pleasure.
"Oh! didn't I tell you that tbit
story L retold to you at Mother Ora
ham’s distinct request, or rather coin
mand?” 1 exclaimed contritely.
Lillian * face flushed with pleasure,
a betrayal of emotion so rare w ith her
that T gazed at her curiously.
"The old darling!” she exclaimed.
"That is n tribute, for she's about a«
hard-boiled an old iconoclast as one
would wish to find. Tell me—how
old was site when she married the
Dicky-bird’s father?"
"I don’t know exactly,” T returned,
"but I think she was in her early
twenties.”
"Be sure it wasn’t her teens?” Lil
lian countered quickly. "You know
what crimes in thfe way of early mar
rlages those earlier generations used
to commit and permit.”
"I am positive she was o\er twen
ty,” I returned, "for T have heard her
say as much. But her exact age 1
cannot tell you.”
"il in!” Lillian frowned, then shot
another question at me.
"Do you know the relative ages of
herself and her husband?”
"That I ran tell you,” T replied.
“'TTe was at least fifteen years older,
perhaps more.”
"Any previous marriages on either
side?”
•'1 nc\er heard of any," T answered
