I give the waiters big tips to get

I get it.
And, besides, I'm in public when
I tip the waiters, and people are

I wouldn't get any credit for any

She's the only one who'd know it

I'd hate to have strangers form a

the satisfaction of showing them
I'm a good sport.

The New Hat.
II.
One day Faddy Muskrat came
home looking quite distressed. His
wife noticed that he seemed to be
in trouble.
"What has happened, my dear?"
she asked him. "You are looking
very sad. And you've lost vour
hat. I hope you haven't been in a
fight." she said, as she peered at
Paddy anxiously.
Nor said Paddy. Iheres been
no fight. As I was swimming near
the mill-dam my hat came off and
the water swept it right over the
dam and down the stream."
"There!" Mrs. Paddy cried. "I
knew that would happen! That's
the fourth hat you've lest this sum
mer. You remember I wanted to
sew an elastic band on your hat, to
snap under your chin."
None of my friends keep their
hats on in that way," said Pady
Muskrat. "But I shall have to do
"This hat makes my ears bok
too big." he objected.
something I can't keep losing hats
like this I'm going over to buy a
new hat of Jimmy Rabbit and I'll
ask him what I'd better do."
"Jimmy Rabbit!" Mrs. Pady ex
claimed. "I didn't know he was a
hatter."
"Mr. Crow tells me he has jusl
opened a fine hat store. He has all
ihe latest styles of hats so Mr.
Crow says."
"Do go over there at once, then!"
Mrs Paddy urged her husband. "I
hope you'll find a becoming hat,"
she said. "A hat with a pink rib
bon on it would look well on you.
I'm sorry I'm so busy, for I'd like
to go and help you choose one."
But Paddy Muskrat was not
sorry. He shuddered at the mere
idea of wearing a hat with a pink
ribbon.
HOLDING A
Adele Garrison's
Revelations
The Thing Mother Graham
Shrewdly Guessed.
One thing I saw clearly when I
had finished decipherinsr Lillian's
code message. 1 knew tlfat I must
within a few hours meet Rita Brown
and bring her vanquished to Leila
to undo the mischief she had
wrought.
My mother-in-law must be taken
into my confidence, at least in part,
or I never cou'd get away. Of
course, I could not repeat to her
the confidences Leila had hysteri
cf.lly poured out to me, but I
thought I could manage to satisfy
her curiosity enough to enlist the
co-operation she always gives when
she has a sense of being "on the
inside." '
I found her in the kitchet),
flushed and perspiring, superintend
ing Mandy, who was as leisurely re
clining in a hammock with the
latest novel. I did not wqnder at
Mrs. Luken's willingness to lend
the dusky handmaiden I guessed
that the chatelaine of the big house
only kept a maid because of the
frequent attacks of giddiness to
which she was subject. I also sur
mised that when she felt especially
vell, as she evidently did just now,
she was glad, indeed, to dispense
with Mandy's dilatory ways.
As my mother-in-law met my
eyes I quickly veiled them to hide
:he smile I couldn't repress at the
unequal contest she was staging
She who had cantinually grumbled
at agile, industrious Katie, was now
having her first experience with the
indolent, absolutely unimpression
able servant which Mandy typified.
The old sayings, "pouring water on
a duck's back," and, "punching a
feather bed," were exemplified in
Mandy. Always smiling, always un
ruffled, neither reproof nor praise
had any effect in changing the even
tenor of her inherent laziness.
A Confast to Katie.
"May I speak to you a moment,
mother?" I asked.

ARTHURaSCOTT BAILEY
: UMr
"I'll see what Jimmy Rabbit has,"
he promised. And then he started
for the hat store.
It was just as Mr. Crow had
said. Jimmy Rabbit had a fine
aray of hats. And though he had
hats with ribbons of many different
colors, to Paddy Muskrat's great
relief he hadn't a single one with a
pink ribbon on it.
Paddy tried on a hat that took
his fancy.
"Have you a looking-glass?" he
asked Jimmy Rabbit.
"Certainly!" Jimmy replied, "That
pool over there in the brook is the
best mirror you ever saw."
So Paddy went and looked into
the pool.
"This hat makes my ears look too
big." he objected.
"Big ears are quite the fashion
this season," Jimmy Rabbit told
him. "As you see, I'm wearing
mine quite large. The trouble with
this hat is that it makes your ears
look not too big, but too little. The
way to make your ears look as big
as possible is to wear the smallest
hat you can keep on your head.
Here " he said "is one that will just
suit you." And he clapped upon
Paddy Muskrat's head a little, flat
straw hat with a narrow brim. "Now
go and look at yourself in my mir
row!" Jimmy urged. "You'll like
this one, I know.
Once more Paddy looked into the
deep pool. At first he thought the
hat looked very queer. But ihe
longer he gazed at his reflection the
better he liked it.
"There's just one thing about this
hat that I don't care for," he, told
Jimmy Rabbit. "It has a green
ribbon; and I want a red one."
Jimmy Rabbit promptly found a
hat exactly like the one on Paddy's
head except that its ribbon was
!.
"Now ," Jimmy said "now
you ought to feel pretty happy. For
you won't see a stvlisher hat any
where in Pleasant Valley."
But Paddy Muskrat didn't seem
happy at all.
"I forgot one thing," he remarked.
"I don't see how I c;m keep this
hat on my head when Im in the
water. It's so small it will be sure
o fall off. I don't believe I'd bet
ter take it, after all."
For a few moments Jimmy Rab
bit looked disappointed. And then
said:
Let me think! Give me six sec
onds in which to think and I'll tell
you of some way to ix the hat so
it won't trouble you."
Paddy Muskrat agreed to that.
And he sat down, with the hat on
his head, and waited.

HUSBAND
New Phase of
of a Wife
that she who for years, in that
now ages-remote period "before the
world war," had been the chatelaine
of her son-in-'aw's establishment,
applying almost military discipline
to the maids had received her first
ieal defeat in managing a servant.
Even Katie, who used to flame into
wrath against her, had given her
enthusiastic obedience and co-operation
in housewifely tasks. Indeed, I
think Katie's ;mpressionable spirit
held Mother Graham's unmistakable
housewifely prowess in something
like reverence.
"I'll .be with you right away," she
replied. "Now.'Mandy, see that you
heat those plates before putting the
hot chops on them."
"Yas'm, I'll remember," Mandy
drawled, and my mother-in-law
waited only till she had closed the
doors behind her before bursting
forth into indignant expostulation.
"I never have seen anybody in my
life to equal that that gorilla," she
sputtered.
I quickly repressed another smile
at Mother Graham's tendency to at
tach cognomens of the monkey fam
ily to people with whom she is dis
pleased. For years Katie has been
"that ape" whenever my mother-in-law
has been annoyed at her, a con
dition , of affairs which seemed to
me sometimes a perpetual state. The
poor woman's mind just now was an
open book to me. She had een
about to attach the name "ape" to
Mandy. With the thought of the
word has come a vision of Katie's
neat kitchen and unbounded energy,
and she had substituted another and
more opprobrious word for Mandy.
I suspected that she was suffering
actual homesickness for Katie,
though no doubt when we went back
home she would nag the girl as much
as ever.
"I'm just as sure as I'm standing
here that she'll bring those plates in
stone cold, with the fat of the lamb
chops congealed all over .hem," she
said, her face expressing such lively
horror that I giggled involuntarily.
EXPERIENCE VS. BOOK KNOWLEDGE
gized, as her face darkened. "I j
couldn't help it. Mandv is so ab- i
..i.. .t.. :ui .i . .t...
auiuiciv iiijpussiiuc nidi Mica iwui-
rrous. You can't tell her anything
five minutes beforehand or more
than one thing at a time, and that
in words of one syllable. She's like
a kindergarten child."
,aw that my apology had appeased
her. "Why, Richard Second has far
more mentality than that girl will
have in her whole lifetime!"
But she soon forgot Mandy in
listening to the account I gave her
of Leila's unhappiness and her pres
ence in Mrs. Lukens's guest room.
I told her as little as I possibly
could, but her curiosity was appeas
ed, and her interest wildly excited by
the sketchy outline I gave her.
"Of course, spend all the time with
her you want!" she promptly ac
quiesced, when I had prepared the
way for my absence from the cot
tage. "And you must take her over
some luncheon. There's nothing for
you to do here, and I won't count
on you being here at all this afttr
noon. But, you mark my word, if
vou'll ferret out the real trouble
you'll find that the colored gentle
man in the woodpile ?s that Rita
Brown!"
"I've no doubt you're right," I
said, trying to make my voice indif
ferently casual, and paying a mental
tribute to her shrewdness as I hur
ried away.

WHY
Do We Hear Sounds in Sea
Shells?
(Copyright, 1920. h y the Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.) 1
The belief that, by holding a;
conch or other large shell to the
ear, we can hear the sound of j
the waves beating upon the shore
is hardly in accordance with the,
facts in the case, but, because it
appears to be the simplest ex-j
planation of the phenomenon, it
has come to be generally ac
cepted as the truth.
The sounds which emanate
from the shell even in what ap-
pears to be a "dead quiet," are
real ly caused by the magnifica
tion of the air waves striking'
upon the sounding box of the.
shell itself. The conch shell and;
others of its class are natural ex
amples of the principle apparent'
in the construction of a violin, aj
guitar or a phonograph. All of
these instruments have the facul-i
ty of pick'ng up sounds and mag-'
nifying them. The sound waves;
bounce off or arc reflected evem
stronger than they originally
were. The instruments havei
what are called "resinators,"
because they make sounds re
sound. The seri shells in which this
principle is most apparent not
only magnify the sounds which
we can hear with our unaided
ears, but also those which are
not sufficiently loud to make any
impression upon our ear drums.
They pick up the sound waves
and throw them back, multiplied,
many times in strength. Inas
much as sound is present every
where except in a scientifically
constructed sound-proof room
and even there the beating of
one's heart and the noise of one's
breathing would make a certain
amount of noise we appear to
hear sounds which come from the
shell itself but which are, iti
reality, only the magnified sounds
around us.

More Truth
By JAMES J.
THEN AND NOW
When Cheops ruled with iron hand
Disease was rife and plagues were plenty,
And doctors in as much demand
As they are now in 1920.
Tlx people were benighted still;
They had not yet devised papyrus,
And when a patient ran a bill
For calomel or vaccine virus,
The doctor figured up the cost
Of bromides, sedatives and tonics,
And these he carefully embossed
Upon a chunky block of onyx.
If patients paid, they got the bills
Receipted with an iron hammer.
But if they still complained of ills
Or put up any undue clamor,
.Complaining that they'd never seen
Such thieving charges for specifics,
The doctor crowned them on the bean
With seven-pound hieroglyphics.
But few disputed with the Doc,
However costly his prescriptions,
For such was the effect of shock
Upon the early day Egyptians.
Today a doctor does not need
So rudely to impress a person
That if his bill they do not heed
They presently will
They drop a missive in the mail.
Next day the postman brings it to you,
You read it, turn a trifle pale,
And thrills of horror hurry through you
For if you're not o'erstocked with pelf
You need no rock your soul to harry,
For you will find the bill itself
Is all the shock that's necessary.
