BY CAROLYN 8HERW1N BAILEY, v Perhaps it is your cousin, or your best girl friend, who decides td stay over night, or, better still, to spend the . week-end wi)h you. One ot the oleasantest parts "-of having com pany is being all ready for hv Wky not make ;some dainty thmg tor the guest room, or a speciaH guest corner of your, own room? . Scr.aps of. heaK-y linen make at tractive guests towels. These may measure fourteen inches wide, by twenty inches long.; Draw threads and hemstitch the ends if you know how. If, not, hem the ends neatly or finish with an edging of narrow, heavy lace. ' The old-fashioned .tat ting, so tashionaoie now, is a Deau tiful finish , for guest towels. You can buv initials' of a heavy washable material which looks something like paper. Baste these to the towel and embroider over them. Use a coarse mercerized cotton, not a linen "UGHT.WEIGHT LOVE" . A Sunshine Comedy floss. Tale blue, ofd . blue' or -rose arjs good colors. Also get smaller initials to use on wash cloths to match the towels. These wash cloths may be made of the unworn parts of old bath towels. Cut into rather large squares, and finish the edges by button-holingwith white or olored mercerized floss 'These wash well and look just as satisfactory as neav ones, t ! A scented pad may be made for the special drawer in your bureaV where your friend is to put her things. This should have -an inter lining of wadding, thickly sprinkled with violet and orris senet powder. Make the coverirtg in exact size to fit the bottom of - the drawer, of China silk Or silkaline in' a soft coloring or white Tack it to the wadding in places on tuft it with silk floss that matches-the covering. Nothing is so useful for your guest as her, cornervm your clothes press with plenty of hangers to keep both waists and. skirts in good con-i "But then they client their own dition. So, why not make some special hangers for her? Cover the ordinary wooden ones, first with cotton wadding, and then with a length of flowered or plain ribbon, wound over the cotton and then tacked in place. At each end of the hanger sew on a large safety pin, the pin-part down. These pins will hold skirts in perfect shape and will Vrove most useful... (Tomorrow Outdoor- Flower Boxes.) ?

' , Leaving the lighthouse keeper on watch at his post, Hunting; Eye climbed down the hundreds ot .steps and started to walk back to the coast guard station, where he was to spend the night. It was already getting dark, when he henrd a low whistle .some distance behind him. Stooping down and hiding he saw a man come out from the sand dunes with a, ntern. This he waved in circlets, and, soon after, a boat pulled on shore. A couple of men leaped out and began carrying .some small boxes and ,kegs. . 'They seemed so nervous that Hunting Eye 'Mt something was wrong, and he Hurried to the coast guard station and told his friends. "Smugglers, eh!" said the .captain. "We'll attend to em!" As the crew hurried along , the beach, a flankiug party going out through the dunes to trap the smug glcrs, in the rear, the captain ex- V LUCY V U H FITCH PERKINS ' J plained to Hunting Eye in siinpte fashion what smugglingmeant. ""In some countries, where the working people" are paid less than here, goods can te made cheaper tnan nere. it -we lethips bring these goods here, free, that -would hurt American workers. So tho govern ment puts a tax on these goods, so that they will cost about the same price as goods made here. . That's fair to the peopte who 4work here, and, at the same time, it gives the government some of the money which it-needs for running he coun try. Some things which are luxuries like jewels are taxed heavily. So, if.peophe can succeed in'' bringing those goods in secretly, without the government kndwing,- they escape the tax. In that way they can sell thc-goods cheaply and still make a Dig proht. government! said Tluntine Eve, lhat is wrong. One does not hurt one's own tribe." 'You bet it's wrong'- said the captaift of the coast guards. And, warning Hunting Eye -to keep silence, the crew stole noon the smugglers unobserved and caught them, red-handed, with the goods. j "Not cheat the tribe this fime!"

' Milk Wagon Runs Away With the ' : Dutch Twins. . vPeter, and Paul "got up." They jumped forward and began to run! Kit ran as fast as his legs would go beside the dogs, holding the line's. But the dogs had four legs apiece, and Kit had only two; so you see he couldn't keep up very well. . ' Kat began to scream the moment that. Peter and Paul begn to run. The dogs thought that something that made a dreadful noise was after them, andTliey ran faster than ever. You 'see, Grandfather Winkle never in the world screamed like that, and Peter and Paul didn't kndw what to make of it. So they ran and tan and ran. . Kat held on the -best she could, but she bounced up ever so far in the air every time the cart struck a bump in the, street. So did the milk cans; and when they came down again tjie milk splashed out. " ' Kat didn't always come down in the same spot. All the spots were hard, so it didn't really mate'r much which one she struck as sjie came down. - . ' But Kat-dfdn't think about that; she just screamed. And Peter and Paul ran and ra '.'and Kit ran and ran, until he couldn't run any more; he just sat down hard on the pave- men and slid along. But he didn't let go of the lines 1 When Kit sat down, it jerked the dogs so hard that they stopped sud denly. But Kat didn t stop; she went right oil She flew out over the front of the cart and landed on the ground, among all sof Peter and Paul's legs! Then she' stopped WHY? DoWe Yawn? , (Copyright, 1920 by The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Oxygen is one 6f the elements of the air which is essential to the healthy, normal action of the lungs. Unless a sufficient quanti ty of oxygen is taken into the body, the lungs become' irritated and flash a signal to the brain that a larger supply' is neeces sary. The easiest method to overcome this shortage of oxy gen is, of course, to take in an increased amount of air at one time. Hence the nerves which regulate our breathing apparatuv react upon our jaw and throat muscles, causing , both of them to open wide. Expansion of tile lungs at the same time jresults in the inhalation 6f- a much larg- cr amount of air j than is obtain able through ordinary breathing, thus supplying the needed amount of dxygen. The rea'son that yawning is usually connected with a feel ing ofdrowsiness is because a desire for sleen is a sicn that the body is tired and is seeking-a 1 stimulant ot some, kind either rest or an added amount of oxy gen, the fuel which keeps the human furnace burning bright ly. The satisfaction which fol lows' a yawn i due to the fact that the blood has received an extra supply of the material which it needs and we immedi ately feel the benefit of this.

And, though Kit was a boy, he screamed some, too. .Then Peter and Paul pointed their noses up in the air and began to howl. . Way back, ever so far, grand- lather was coming along as fast as he could; but that wasn't very fast. All tha doors on the .street flew open,, and all the good housewives came clattering out to see what was the matter.
