-t' ! Turning th Tables.
Mr. Fiog hd given Bobby Bobo
link a .great surprise. He had said
that Bobby was wearing bis clothes
upside down.
.. .'After 'making .that unpleasant re
mark. Mr, Frog burst into a gale of
laughter. And it was seme time be
fore he could say anything norr.
While he- held his sides and
faughed, Bobby Bobolink tried to
look at hit own reflection in a pool
of water. But so far as he could
ite there was nofhing unusual about
his suit. ': He was puzzled; but. there
was no ' use asking Mr. Frog any
question! just then. Bobby knew
that he -would have to wait until the
silly tailors fit . of laughing, had
eassed.
" At last Mr. , Frosr grew calmer,
He drew forth a big handkerchief
from his sleeve and wiped his eyes
i "You're certainly the funniest
light I've ever seen!" he exclaimed
i :'! ' wish you'd explain about my
suit being upside down, Bobby sai'l
"Tyt worn it this way for almost
two months.-, And only yesterday
my wife fold me there was nothing
wrong with it.
' 'Ah!" Mr. Frog cried. "She
doesn't know . about the styles. 1
she did, she'd know what was the
matter. . Your' waistcoat is black
and you 'wear bright colors on you:
back. Anybody that follows the
fashions as I do could tell you rhe

rules: .Coat dark, waistcoat bright

Frog drew himself up proudly and
leaned against, a stump, with. his feet
' crossed, exactly as if he was having
his picture taken..
Bobby Bobolink looked, at him.
And til once ht fctirst 6ttt lauh

; Now it ;wa " Mr. Frog's turn- to
' feel uncomfortable.
"What's the matter?" . he asked.
''Isn't my tie straight?"
"Oh, I dare say your tie's cor
rect;" Bobby Bobolink told him.
"But there's something queer about
you." j Maybe it's because your f?et
are so bigty. And he laughed harder
than ever;, for, Mr. Frog certainly
ldoked funny:
i Now, Mr, Frog's, feet were a great
trial to him. ; He had always want
ed small ones. But somehow he had
never been able to change them. .
"They, aren't really as big as they
look," he remarked, gazing down at
his feet k4 mournfully. . "You see;
trousers ire being worn very tight
ths summer. . And that always
makes the feet seem bigger. . , ,
Mv ieet can't look peculiar.",
"Then,", said Bobby Bobolink, "it
must be something else that amuses
"me. It must .be your mouth!"
"My mouthJ' Mr. Frog repeated,
as hi jaw dropped. "What's the
'matter with that?"
"ItVs big!" Bobby cried.

suit thi?fall. But how are you go

feet, either?" , : : ;-.. ,
- That was a ; question ''that Mr.

There still is a little in cellars,
But people with stocks of their own
Don't keep open houses for parties of souse
It's awful how stingy they've grown.
Now and then, to be sure, you're invited '
To sit round imbibing till dawn
In the shack of a friend, but that's soon going to end
. And what'H you do when it's gone. '
The bootleggers still have-a little,
Though most is a mighty bad sort,
But it's pretty dear fun when the price of a bun
Comes to thirty-five dollars a quart. . . . .
And now the policemen are busy.-
Why. bootlegging's risky a bit.
For some day they will raid all the birds in the trade, . '
And what'H you do when they quit? . . .;. '
Of course it easy to make it, ' . . . .?! . . . . ;.
Providing you've got a good still, . - . .. . "
But the stuff's awful strong, and folks find right along-
That that kind of liquor can kill. ' .
And now they are hunting through houses ,
For amateur boilers of brew.
The business will bust and the still go to rust ;
And what'H you do when they're through? ...
Your doctor can write a prescription
For two or three pints every year, .
But you've got to be sick or he'll cut you off quick -
And life will be dismal and drear.
In fact it is just about over, ' - !
The start of the finish j's on,
When they've cleaned the supply, then the place will be dry, .
And what'H you do when it's gone? -, .

the belief in the evil eye is prevat
lent, says those " possessed of it are
believed to be unaware of their bale
ful gift as a rule. Plutarch, writing in
the first century, says that relatives
and fathers sometimes cast-a spell
on their own children without know
ing it. '
In fact this appears to be the opin
ion of all the old writers on the evil
eye. And. starting out upon a jour
ney, or any sort of an expedition,
has always been looked upon as a
time when the evil eye was particu
larly liable to get .'in its malevolent
work. Also there is no knowing
ow far the influence of the evil
eye will carry. .Mcoto Valletta ot

Business Failures in U. S.
In May Fall 7 Per Cent
New York, June 2. The tide of
business failures continues to recede
slowly, according to reports received
by Bradstreet's for the month of
May. These showed 1,338 failures
for the month, a decrease of 7.4 per
cent from the April aggregate and
the smallest' monthly total recorded
since November, 1920.

. The Young Folks. .
When parents have daughters o!'l
enough to entertain young persons
of the same age they must expect
to do so and plan accordingly.
A girl cannot expect to enjoy the
hospitality of other homes when her
own home is closed to outsiders.
It costs something, it is . true, to
help the young folks with' their
parties and other social function,
but parents should expect to assume
the responsibilities for the social h
pleasures of children.
Usually when the young men be
gin to call on the . girls there are
additions and rcdecorations asked for
in the home' furnishings, and unless
the parents are well enough to do to
keep theNhome modernized, this must
be expected and planned lor ahead.
Of course it is difficult sometimes
for parents to sec the shabbiness ot
certain articles which association
hold dear.
But the younger- generation can
hardly look from the same point oi
view, so do not expect it.
If you are fortunate enough to
possess some really old and valuable
articles, teach the children to value
them for. what they are -worth in
preference to tawdry stuff; but fix
up for-the. youngsters, . they like it,
and you were young once yourself.

. everything that is desired, friends,
"admiration and wealth, according to

woman who could draw friends as
a magnet draws steel. Nowadays, it
is regarded as a talisman which
bring happiness and love.
, ' Another uusual gem, the serpen

Worn most frequently, it is little
.known here.. It should never be cut
or polished, or it will lose its mystic-qualities,
and no longer act as

accident. ;
Today's tolor is green, which is
said to protect its wearer at this time

Are "Scotch Tweeds" So Called?
Those' familiar, even in a general
way, with the geography of Scotland,
would, naturally reply to this ques
tion, ''Tweeds take their name from
the River Tweed, of course" prob
ably because of the fact that this
kind of cloth was first made along
the banks of this river. But" the
obvious reply is, in this case, er
roneous. Scotch tweeds owe their
name to a slip of the pen, and not
to any reference to the river..
It was about a century ago that !
there sprang up in London the first j
widespread demand for - Scottish I
"twill," the colloquial name "at that
time for diagonal-weave goods, and
pronounced, with the typical Scotch j
accent 'twecl. In making out an
invoice, .the Scottish bookkeeper of
a firm which specialized in this type
of cloth a man who was probably.
much better weaver than a pen
manchanced to write ''tweeds" in
stead of "tweels." and the London ;
house to which the order , was con-
signed, thinkiiC; the change was in
tentional and the new ' name auite i
appropriate, used it in placing their j
next order and also in referring to
the material to their customers. As I
the cloth attracted widespread attcn- j
iion ana caught the favor of, the
public at that time, the, name has
been preserved ever since.
