THE BEE: OftlAHA. THURSDAY, MARCH Z5. 19g0, Twin Stories dutch Twins Catch Their Wooden Shoes. They ran to the cnd of the pier and looked. There' was Kat's shoe sailing away toward America like a little boat! Kit's were still bobbing about in the water near the pier. Oh! OhI Ohl" shrieked Kat; but the tide was going out and carrying her shoe farther away every minute. They could not get it; but grand father reached down with his rod and fished out both of Kit's shoes. Then Kat' took ' off her other one and her stockings, and they all three went back to the beach. 'Grandfather and Kat covered Kit up with sand to keep htm warm while his clothes were drying. Then grandfather stuck the twins' fish poles up in the sand and tied the lines together for a clothes' line, and hung Kit's clothes up on it, and Kat put their three wooden shoes in a row beside Kit. Then they ate their luncheon of bread and butter, chees and milk, with some radishes from father's garden. It tasted very good, even if 1 The Swift Mar RMSVSy a-H!$ SHOWSV S&y iPsS.

After lunch grand father said: "It will never do to go home with out any hsh at all. So by and by he went back to the pier and caught one while the twins played in the sand. He put it in the lunch basket to carry home. Kat brought shells and pebbles to Kit, because he had to stay covered up in the sand, and Kit built a play dyke all around himself with them, and Kat dug a canal outside the dyke. Then she made sand-pies in clam shells and set them in a row in the sun to bake. They played until the shadow of the dyke grew very long across the stndy beach and then grandfather said it was time to go home. He helped Kit dress, but Kit's clothes were still a little wet in the thick parts. And Kat had to go bare footed and carry her one wooden shoe. They climbed the dike and crossed the fields, and walked along the road by the canal, the road shone, like a strip of yellow ribbon across flie green field. They walked quite slowly, for they were tired and sleepy. By and by Kit said. "I see our house," and Kat said, "I see mother at the gate." Grandfather gave the fish he caught to Kit and Kat and Vrow Vedder cooked it for their supper; r.nd though it was not a very big fish, they all had some. Grandfather must have told Vrow Vedder something about what had happened; for that night, when she put Kit to bed, she felt of his clothes carefully but she didn't say a ward about their being damp. And she said to Kat: "To morrow we will see the shoemaker and have him make you another shoe." Then Kit and Kat hugged her and said good night, and popped off to sleep before you could wink your eyes. (Right. Reserved By Houghton Mifflin Company.) Helen Taft, college dean.

Buy Your New Easter Clothes on Our Easy Payment Plan It's the Modern Way. For Boys and Girls pSports that Sails and Rudders. By ADELIA. BELLE BEARD. A bird is a boat of the air, its wings are the sails and oars, its tail is the rudder. The long, stiff feathers of the wings have a Latin name which means "rowers" (oars) and the Latin name of the long, stiff feather of the tail means "rudder." This is another case where nature provides an example for men to copy by showing them the use of sails, oars and rudder. Walrh a hirrl flvins1 a loner dis tance an;l see how it first uses its s. i i rx v'a iilL wings as oars, iorcingy its way through '.he air as a rower forces his boat through the. water, then, with wings wide spread and motionless, sails along. without effort. The mo mentum gained by first vigorously rowing sends it, forward, as mo mentum makes your bicycle go on when, after pedaling hard, you stop work and coast. But at times the bird undoubtedly takes advantage of the lifting and carrying air currents; then, indeed, its wings are sails and it glides along, tipping occasonally as a boat tips when its sails are filled. It will even take an upward turn without one beat of its wings, and all this time the tail, as rudder, keeps the bird true to its course. The wing and tail of a bird are shown in our illustration and 1 sug gest that you secure a wing of a chicken, or other kind of fowl, which has been killed for food, and identify the feathers that make the bird go. A barn-yard fowl is not built to fly the distance that a bird does, but its wings are made on the same plan. It is the quill-feathers of the wing known as primaries that are the "lowers." These are fastened to the wing bones and are not easily dis lodged. The soft, covert feathers are used merely for protection, as shingles are used to protect the out side of a roof.

Beppo walked to the mat and bent forward till head and hands were on the mat; his legs straight ened in the air and, motionless as a statue, he stood there on his head. "That's it." he said. "It's so dead easy that I am surprised every boy in the world docs not do it natur ally. It's really much harder to stand on your feet than on your head; for when upside down you have three points of support your head aud your two hands. "Now watch me and remember all that I tell you kneel on the left knee with the right foot just a few inches ahead of the knee place both hands on the floor with fing ers spread: place your head on the floor about a foot in front of the hands; rest both knees on your el bows and lift your feet from the floor. See I am standing on my head, but my legs'are not up in the sir." Beppo made the boys do what he had shown them a number of times, and, when they had demonstrated that they could hold the position easily, he continued his lesson. "Remember what you have just learned," sr.id the little clown, "and the perfect 'head stand' will come with a little practice. From the po sition I have just taught you, raise the legs very gradually and don't let your neck wobble; keep your feet well in front until you get 'the feel' of the balance. Boys usually fail in he 'head stand' because they are in too much of a hurry to get the feet up, and they fall over on their backs, but if you go at it easily and slowly raise your legs, you can keep your balance and before long you will wor.der why you couldn't do it the very first time you tried. "When vol get home place a sofa j:illow about a foot from the wall Hid try your head stand on that; if you overbalance, touch the wall vith your foot and that will help you get 'the feel of the head stand."

C(to (Qesf QffoQ rloas U BulteFNut f Coffee Delicious h TV 1 1 I I I V fei A biennial bulletin has been is sued by the Iowa women in antici pation of the general federation meeting to be held in Dcs Moines next June. With only three months left before the big meeting, it is not surprising that plans are assuming a very definite shape. Catherine Con rad says in the Des Moines Sunday Capital for March 14: The first publicity bulletin of the Golden Prairie biennial has bren is sued by the publicity committee of which Mrs. F. W. WeiU is chair man, and as an indication of the finessp -u-ith uMMi tile tvntupn f.f Iowa are going to carry off the bien nial, is most gratifying. The bulle tins were distributed at the diliners given Thursday evening at Harris Emery's, when the state board mem bers of the federation and the bien nicl board met for an intimate talk about the biennial, and created a furor of admiration for the work of the publicity committee and of enthusiasm for the biennial and Iowa's ability to put it over. The bulletin is neat and attractive, done in the form of a four-page, 10-inch leaflet on cream-color glazed paper. A picture of the Iowa state capital graces the first page. The cuts of Des Moines are well chosen and beautifully executed. Information is imparted in the bulletin of interest to local women as .well as to the prospective dele gates, and has been chosen with line taste as to the things that really represent the city and state. To warm the hearts of the host esses in the face of their great un dertaking, thc'following statement of Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker's is given in the bulletin: "Every true American who has traveled wisely loves the spirit of the great middle west. The people are so open-minded, the warmth of their welcome is so inspiring, their civic deeds are so full of courage, that life seems bigger and better for the visitor who comes with the right vision. It must follow logically that the biennial which is to be held in pes Moines next spring will be typ ical of this section of the country, and will furnish an atmosphere dif ferent from any convention that has ever been held. "Let us, the club women from oiner pans ot America, begin now to plan for this meeting. Let us remember that the hostess alone does not make the success of convention, nor do the guests alone nring success; ideal results come from a combination of the right hostess and the right guests. Let us, as the much-to-be-envied guests, resolve that we will journey to Des Monies carrying our part of enthu siasm, of knowledge and of inspira- My HEART and My HUSBAND By ADELE GARRISON Wisconsin Woman's Ideas.

(Copyright, 1920. by 'Wheeler Syndi cate, Inc.) WHEN any part of the earth becomes heated by the sun's rays, the air becomes thinner and- rises. As it goes up, a current of cooler air comes in to take its place, thus making the disturbance we call the "wind." Likewise, damp air which is lighter than dry air of the same degree of heat will also rise and, rising, cause a disturbance above and below. It is for this reason that there is usually a breeze from the sea by day and from the land by night, the land being heated faster than the water and the fresh air from the sea coming in to take its place. At night the process is reversed. The land cools faster than the water and the "wind" goes out to sea. Because these processes are con tinually going on all over the globe the wind frequently gathers strength like a snowball and attains the proportions of a gale or a hurricane. Tomorrow's question WHY do coats have buttons on the sleeves? How Mrs. Durkee Agreed and Theh Confided in Madge. Luckily, Alfred Durkee's back was toward me, and 1 was able to signal a warning appeal to his mother. That she heeded my warn ing, bethought herself of the conse quence that might follow her open disapproval of Alfred's suggestion I knew by the way she smoothed out tiie resentful lines in her face as deftly as if she had passed a flat iron over them. "Why, of course, Alf, that would be lovely, and I'd rather have Leila take carc of me than anybody else!" she said with such enthusiasm in her tone that 1 paid her powers of dis simulation a mental tribute. "But," with just the right note of consider ate doubt, "don t you think it would be very unjust to her to ask her to give up so much time? Of course, she will feel that she must do it ijj you ask her, and she will probably give up work of her own that ought to be attended to." "Let Leila and me do the worry ing about that part of it," Alfred re torted. "I happen to know that she has nothing on hand just now that can't be left for two or three weeks." Was there unconscious depreca tion in his tone? My thoughts went back to the characterization Dicky once had made of the Fairfax sis ters. "They're dear, lovely girls," he said, "but they'll never amount to anything. They'll be teaching 'art' in their native Virginia town when Rita Brown is a successful ex hibitor." I wondered how seriously Leila Fairfax took the work which Alfred evidently regarded so lightlv. If she did not realize her own limita tions, and Alfred possessed ihe lack of tact and understanding of the feminine mind common to so many husbands I saw uglv. iagged rocks in the course' of their marital bark. v Her One Fear. Alfred's tone Vas so decisive that his mother evidently saw it was use less to argue the question further, and therefore gave up the point at issue with the gracious cheeriness that makes her so lovable. "Of course, if she can come it will he perfectly wonderful," she said. "But you must try to get somebody to help her with the work." "Mrs. Madge and I will see about that." Alfred returned with a nod to me. "Fortunately, things ?re pretty dull just now, and I can man age to get away early afternoons and help Leila a lot." His face was wreathed in the fatu ous smile of an engaged man who sees long hours of close association with the lady of his choice ahead of him. His mother said nothing, and managed to keep on her face the smile of content she. had brought there when she had agreed to his plan. But when Alfred had escort ed Dr. Gibson out of the room she signed to me to shut tha door, and when she was sure they were out of hearing, clutched at my hand and raised herself to a sitting position. "Oh. I simply can't stand it, Madge!" she wailed. "That girl will be ,all over my things, using them, and I just know she doesn't know how to take care of things. -Those girls never know anything but dancing and sewing. Oh, dear, this business of having a daughter-in-law isn't what you might think it is! And can you imagine what a state this house will be in with Alt and her running things? Much work they'll do. And it's moon light for the next week, too." ! What Madge Promised. I laughted outright at the little woman's despairing tone. "Will you kindly tell what what moonlight has to do with it?" I demanded. "Why, if Leila does anv cannins she'll have to do some of it at night; 1 always have to, things come in such bunches, you know. And can you imagine any engaged couple canning tomatoes when there s a moon to look at? If thev started 'em, they'd let 'em burn black while they went out and spooned n the moonlight. Well, there's one thing. she shan't use my best preserving kettle and burn it up. Madge, you be a good girl and take that over to your house 3iid diide it. Alf will never know the difference." I could have shaken her for her silliness, but I controlled myself and spoke soothingly: Of course, I 11 do anything you want me to. But you must do some thing for me first, and that is to take this pellet Dr. Gibson left. Then tomorrow we'll plan everything out. And I am sure Mother Graham nnd Katie will come over and put up those tomatoes tomorrow. You know Mother Graham is an old hand at canning, and she'd like nothing better than to boss Katie around on that job." 1 Oh. if she only would do those. Mrs. Durkee sighed. "I think I could go to sleep." V"1 11 promise that, I said holding the pellet and a glass of water out to her. "So shut your eyes." (Continued Tomorrow.)
