Hidden Win.
II; next day Buster Bumblebee
ret out for the orchard to find Mri.
ladybug, He wanted to warn her
'o toj talking abotit Betsy Duller
'ly. But fiuner hadn't realised that
J it was not 6n eay matter tJ tay any.
f . ihinu to Mrs. Lilyhue. Mr. Lady-
titig alwayt liked to do most of the
talking her?!f. She preferred to let
-tber listen.
He found her -hard at work de
stroying insects on an old apple tree.
And when the caught light of him
Mr. Lailybutf panted in her labors.
"Well, young man!" ahe exclaimed,
toking at Huster severely. "Are you
idling this lovely day away? You
don't eem to be nuking any honey."
Du.iter wishes that he had spoken
lirt. He certainly had had l.o in
tention of discussing such matters
a honey making.
"I don t need to make honey, he
told Mr. Ladybug. "The workers
in oitr hive provide honey enough.
Maybe you didn't know that I'm of
'Rubbishrcrkd Mrs.Ladyiuj,i'4gardm
him v.-lth a, frowa
royal blood. I'm the Queen's son.
I don't have to work," he dechred
lomewhat hotly.
"Rubbish I" cried Mrs. Ladybug, re
garding him with a frown. "Go get
voursclf some working clothes! Take
off your black velvet and gold! And
save that suit for best!"
"You don't understand," Buster
tried to explain. "Being a Queen's
son, I'm expected to wear my court
costume every day."
"Non sense I" Mrs. Ladybug retort-
ted. "The sooner you get such silly
notions out of your head, the better
off you'll be. Everybody caght to '
work.' Too much play is bad for
folks."
Buster Bumblebee Could feel him
Klf htncliincr " TVii tieiirhhor . were
not expected to address a Queen's I
ion in that fashion. I
"That's exactly the way you talk
about Betsy Butterfly!" he exploded.
"Hugh!" Mrs. Ladybug sniffed.
"You're a worthless pair. Betsy But
terfly's wings "
At this point Busier managed to
inte-rupt her.
"Don't talk about .wings, please!
he cried. "Who are you, to talk
about wings? when you haven't any
yourself."
Mrs. Ladybug sarted; and she gave
him a queer look.
"Wh-.t's that?" Vne inquired.
"What's that?,-Say that again!"
"You haven't any wings," Buster
repeated.
. "Ho!" she laughed'. "You're mis
taken. I have wings." ,
Mrs. Ladybug smiled a very
knowing sort , of smile. When he
saw it Busier Bumblebee couldn't
help feeling '. uncomfortable. : Some
how he knew that he 1iad blundered.
But just wh-re he erred he was un
able to decide.
."Watch sharp, younsr sir!" Mrs
Ladybug bade him. "W'atch sharp
' and perhaps you'll be able to learn
so cthinB."; v.
Then Busier Bumblebee received j
the surnrise ofi his, , life. As he i
watched 'little Mrs.. Ladybug opened
her shelWikef black dotted red back
and spread a pair of delicate,., brown
wings. " "
"See these?" she said to Buster
Bumblebee, .who gaped at her blank
ly. "I've really two pairs of wings,
because -my. pollca dot wing covers
tire actually wings "too only folks
don't usually call them by that
name."
Having spread her wings, Mrs.
Ladybug decided to take . a short
flight. And with Buster gazing dully
.iter her she flitted off.
"I'll have to tell my tnothcr, the
Queen, about this,- he muttered.;

Windmills were first seen in use
ly the crusaders, when they invaded
the near east in their effort to" re
canture the Holy Land, Their exact
origin is lost; but their entry into
European countries dates from the
time of the crusaders, and it seems
clear that they were introduced by
the survivors of those ill-fated ex
peditions. v - - " ,

Jack and Jill I
"That awfully funny Mrs. Climeup
I called here this afternoon just as I
was having Bess Singleton and Flor-
ne Ferndrop here for tea,' said Jill
as Jack came home from the office.
"Mercy, darling, I wa mortified to
death."
"Why?" lie asked lari'.y.
"What? Mr. Climeup? "Why,
Jack, didn't you know that she was
an awfully low sort of person? I
don't mean morally or anything like
that, but she's just dying to break
into society and I hear she is aw
fully vulgar. They even have pig's
feet for dinner when, they have com
pany, lust tancy that
'I like pig's feet, especially
broiled," said Jack, with maddening
amiability.
"Jack!" The horror in his Jill-girl's
voice was not a bit assumed.
"I do," he insisted. "And even it
I didn't, I don't think I'd see what
that has to do with this woman com
ing to call on you. I thought you
liked to have era call when you
had tea ready?"
"But, honey, can't you see? Just
thin ot what Liess binglcton and
Ferrtic would think of me? Why,
dear, they belong to the Country
club and are in real exclusive so
ciety." "Well?"
"Goodness, what a stupid tease he
is," said Jill impatiently. "Don't
you understand that Bess and Fer
nie would think that Mrs. Climeup
was a sort of pal of mine? They'd
think she was one of my old chums,
because Mrs. Climeup is just like
that. I mean to say she talks and
talks about the most intimate things.
Really, it's dangerous to have her
at tea or anything else when there
is anybody else to be here.
"You mustn't get snobbish, dear,"
said Jack, gently, and thus the in
cident died for lack of nourishment
and male understanding.
He came home in a smouldering
storm of anger the next evening.
"Goodness, Jack." cried Jill, "yoi
look awfully cross." .
He kissed her lightly.
"Well, you'd be cross, under the
circumstances," Tie said, savagely.
"Business?"
Aw, no that fellow Jumpup," he
grunted. "Gosh, I wish I could ride
home in peace without that fellow
sitting down beside me and talk
ing to me all the way out. I sup
pose the rest of the men think he's
an old college chum of mine or
something."
"Isn't he that nice, sociable man
who lives near the station the one
with all the children?"
"Sociable?" Jack repeated the
word with a hard, bitter laugh. "That
certainly is the word, honey, I'll say
he's sociable. Say. he nails me . in
the train every afternoon and talks
to me about his kids and his wife
and his income tax and the amount
of gas they used last month, and
how much he paid for that pianola,
and when his mother-in-law is com
ing to visit him. I'll say he's so
ciable." "Well, what's the harm?" Jill's
tone was mildly furious. '
"But look 'at the way he is dressed,
Jill. He's been wearing ' the same
hat for a year ever; since we moved
here. His shoes are all covered with
ugly looking patches. His gloves are
all out at the fingers."
"What do you care, dear? Maybe
the poor man is having a hard time."
"Care? Of ocurse 1 eare," blazed
Jack. "I don't want other men to
see me so chummy with a man that
is sort of flabby. It hurts one's
standing. Ana it"
"Don't be snobbish, dearest," said
Till with a sigh. "You must try to
be"
But Jack remembered and . kissed
her in surrender.

Keep your head up.
As long as you can do-this you are
not a" failure.
Notice the derelicts yati see shuf-
j.fling along the streets they all have
their heads down, Bhoulders droop
ing forward.
, There is something about the man
who can square his shoulders and
look everybody in the eye, unflinch
ingly; something which bespeaks him
as a man of action, to be depended
upon to deliver.
The prospective employer wants
a man who has pride and ambition.
When you walk along the street
with your head down ' you , advertise
yourself as losing ambition" or lack
ing vigor m what you do.
. No matter how discouraged you
may be, no matter what hard - lack
you have encountered .' or experi
enced, do not l?t it become appar
ent from the sagging, downcast loolc
which . indicates discouragement " '
' Keep, np your courage with your
head. " ,

SHIFTING
Mary had a waistline that
In times ot Empire frocks
V just a bit beneath the hat
That sat upon her locks.
As days went by she moved it down
To emphasize her charms
Until it gathered in her gown
A foot beneath her arms.
When hobble skirts became quite smart
The -waistline, trim and neat,
Enc'rcled, with entrancing art
The maiden's dainty feet.
But fashion always may be found
Constructing modes anew.
And when nother year came' round
It rose an inch or two.
It tarried there a little while
Thfn moved along one day
Pursuing of the fickle style
Upon its upward way.
And that was just as well, because
Had it continued where
In other earlier years it was
There'd have been nothing there.
Now, in the fashion notes we see
That round their necks or knees
The charming maids of gay Paree
Wear waistlines where they please.
And we are gratvV. goodness knows,
As styles have come and gone
That they have still got any clothes
To, wear tVe'r waistlines on.

WHY-
Do We Cry When Hurt?
To say that we cry . when hurt for
the same reason that we laugh when
we are glad may appear to 'be para
doxical,' but it is trite nevertheless,
for the muscles and nerves of the
eyes and throat react under the di
rection of" the brain when a portion
of the body is hurt, just' as other
muscles and nerves produce a laugh
reaction when something amusing
occurs.
The machinery of crying,, for the
most part involuntary, may be ex
plained along the following lines:
Some portion of the body possibly
the sensibilities of the brain itself
is injured. A message is . instantly
telegraphed to the brain along the
fine network of nerves and the first
impulse is to give a warning to other
parts of the. body that we have been
hurt and also to notify others of it
as well. An involuntary Outcry and
tears is the natural -result, for it is
only when we grow colder that we
learn to control the lower portion of 1
the brain, which is' responsible for
the "crying impulse." For this ,
reason a baby informs-those around
it of its hurts by cryipg and then, as j
talk and gets control of the upper
portion xf. its brain, it softens' this
to a whimper and finally attaj-,s the
state where it is able comple$jfy to
hide all evidence of -injuries, except
those of a very serious nature. .The
close association between tears and
the in voluntary cry of pain is ap
parent from the fact that, in English,
as in manv othr Isncniapc "rrvinif"
j o o i j o i
is a synonym for , the shedding of
tears, for they are both due to the
reflex action of the brain when no-
tified that the body has been injured.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today

Sophocles contended that the tears
shed over the death of Meleager by
certain Indian birds formed amber
the talismanic stone which ancient
legend assigns to today.' From .a
standpoint - of mental and bodily
health, there is no more potent stone.
It guards its wearer from contagion
especially . if worn aronnd the
throat, and is a particularly lucky,
jewel for singers. ." ' . . I
To guard against sorrow 2nd re

anniversary of this day should ob -
serre their natal stone, the diamond.

Contained in an old prophecy is the
suggestion that these people
"Diamonds should wear, lest bitter
tears
For vain repentance flow."
Brown should be worn today if
one of the oldest superstitions of the
Orient is to be observed. It is a
particularly potent color for those
who ' are inclined to fickleness and
irresponsibility, since it is believed
to invest them with sobriety and in
dustry. Bittersweet is today's floral sym
bol. It has a mystic significance in
terpreted by the ancients in terms of
love and it is said to be the symbol
of happy courtship.

Romance in Origin

Cat's Blood.
In folk-lore medicine the blood of
I blacky cat plays an important part.
It is recommended for a sty, the
shingles, and for a spavined horse
among other things. As a rule it is
a few drops of blood from the tip of
a black cat's tail which is specified
as possessing the magic and cura
tive qualities. For ringworm blood
from either the tail or the ear will
do. Canada and New England ap
pear to be the regions in which this
bit of folk-medicine is most popular.
This superstition, like all the
other superstitions connected with
eats and there are many of them
has its derivation far back in the
past. It is a remnant of the cat
worship of the ancient Egyptians
and of pussy's mysterious connec
tion with the moon-goddess. Isis
a connection which may have at
first been suggested by the physical
peculiarities of a cat's eyes their
faculty of adjusting themselves to
light and darkness so noticeably.
In all ages and in all mythologies
the cat has appeared as a mystic
creature but her first appearance as
a creature of magic was in ivgypt;
in Which country, indeed, the animal
is supposed to have been first do
mesticated and from which country
both its name, 'cat," and tlW'roprtta
tion of mystic' qualities attached to
it, spread throughout the iycrld.
The use of the black cat's bltad in
folk-medicine is an appeal for relief
to Isis or, perhaps, to the cat
headed goddess Pshat
