Mr. Bui; ttite plainly withed that
she would go away and nop bother

"It tan be it i true," he replied
carrlely.
At lat Mr j. LadybuR had to be

"Then you're a fraud!" she cried.
"You're a cheat I For I read on your

"Oil!" taid Mr. Bur with a smile
"Oh I So that's where you got your
odd question. I wondered how you

"A perfectly natural mistake. I'm

dignantly.
"Well. I dare say it is." he admit

grcat-srrandtather. Indeed. I m not
sure he wasn't even still greater than
I've said. He lived in Colorado once
so I've been told. But I was born
and raised on this farm."
"If all this is true," said Mrs.
Ladybug, '"what were you doing with
that carpetbag? And why did you
ask me the way to this potato patch?"
"I'm in a hurry to get to work,"
Mr. Bur remarked. "I'll answer just
this once. When we met in the or
chard I had been away on a little
vacation. And Farmer Green's pota
to patch so I ' learned had been
, moved since last year."
"Dear me!" Mrs. Ladybug wailed.
"People will laugh at me for having
made such a serious mistake."
But Mr. P. Bug didn't say any
thing about that.
"Good-by he grunted. And he
crawled under a leaf, out of sight.
For once in her life Mrs. Ladybug
wasn't eager to talk to her neighbors.
On the contrary, she seemed to avoid
them. But Peppery Polly Bumble
bee called on her and asked her if
she had seen the handsome stranger,
Mr. P. Bug.
"Yes,!" said Mrs.- Ladybug. "I've
talked with him. And it's true that
he has always lived here. There was
a slight mistake about his carpet
bag. It belonged to one of his an
cestors. And since it bears his an
cestor's name andiaddress, naturally
I thought they both belonged to this
Mr. Bug."
Peppery Tolly laughed.
"If you,' don't believe what I tell
you, you can ask him yourself 1" Mrs.
Ladybug snapped. ''He's at work
over in the potato jiatch helping
Farmer Green." l
Peppery Polly laughed again, more
unpleasantly than-ever. ..
"Helping Farmer Green!" she ex
claimed. "He's eating the leaves off
the vines as fast as he can. I know
that gentleman. He's . Mr. Potato
Bug. And he's one of thegreatest
pests on the farm."

The Tr-ngle.
You ; married ' man, or married
woman, are you not becoming ' too
much interested in a married some
body else?
You are allowing this" interest to
increase with the years.
Because it tickles your vanity, flat
ters your ego, you trifle with some
thing which cannot belong to yon
unless you or that other loses self
respect. You are bound to get into trouble
over it sooner or later. -
To be strictly honorable about it
you should dismiss this persoj'from
your mind.
How much effort have you made
to forget?
You have thought a little flirtation
would be harmless and rather spicy
amusement for you both.
, Perhaps you -have not thought at
all, but drifted.
And maybe you are falling for a
lot of supposedly unexpected meet
ings and little snatches of visits
which are all planned out by a mind
less simple than yours.
Don't . think you have so much
personal charm that the other can
not resist and so play the fool into
another's hands.

More Truth
By JAMES J.
-
ALL SQUARED
We've been despairing of the sex;
It saddened us to see
How guileful, wileful and complex
The girls have come to be.
We almost every day peruse
The most alarming talcs
Of base devices that they use
To victimize the males.
Their forms, their faces and their hair,
Like restaurant ice cream
So many misanthropes declare
Are seldom what they seem.
And though our all we'd freely give
To chuck the single life,
We did not think we'd like to live
, " With a synthetic wife.
It therefore cheered us quite a lot
When lately we were told
That archeologists had got
A line on Janes of old.
They tell us the Egyptian pips
Wore brief papyrus socks,
Touched up their faces, rouged their lip?,
And bobbed their raven locks. .
Our old-time nervousness is gone,
And vanished are our fears,
For if this thing's been going on
A hundred thousand years,
No more we'll scoff t at modern maids.
No longer we11 distrust 'em;
The artifices of the jades
Seem justified by custom!
SOMETHING GAINED
Anyway Lloyd George and De Valera must be pretty well acquainted
by .this time.

Jack and Jill
Jill certainly did wear a mourn
ful expression, and Jack was prompt
to notice it. He kissed ner wun
twice the usual ardor and tweaked
her ear.
"Come, come, sissy," he said,
"wipe that naughty pout off your
face. What's wrong, anyway? Burn
the roast or did the dessert fall
down?"
She shook her head.
"Nothing, only"'
"Only what?" '
"Oh, Jack darling, someone near
and dear to me is going to die, and
there's nobody near and dear to me
but you and mother, and I haven't
heard from mother for a week. Oh,
"Say, what kind of nonsense is
this?" He looked at her suspicious
ly. "Say, honey, where've you been
this afternoon?"
"How did you know I've been any
where?'" she countered. v
"Oh, I guessed it.;'
"Well," she began slowly, "I've
been over to Mrs. Burt's and "
"That's enough," said Jack impa
tiently. "My stars, every time you
spend the afternoon with Myrt'e
Burt, I know it. You are always
down in the dumps. What is it, a
ouiia board?" , . ,
"No, of course not. Myrt thinks
the ouija board is awfully foolish.
But you mustn't laugh at Myrt, hon."
She can actually read the cards."
"RotJ"
"But she can."
"Your grandmother 1"
"And this afternoon she told my
future, and oh, I got all black cards
and a big black ace turned up at the
last minute. You know what that
means."
Jack grinned.
''Well," Jack admitted slowly,
"there have been times when I could
have used a black ace or any other
color ace if it had turned up."
"Oh, Jack, but this is serious."
"Well, my need for an ace has
been serious."
"I don't know what you are talk
ing about, but Myrtle Burt says that
when the ace of spades shows up it
means that someone near and dear
is going to die. And a lot of things
Myrt has told have really come
true."
"Superstitious stu3 why, it's all
nonsense." t
"She turned a red heart for Ma
belle Lee last week and the very
next night Jim Farquhar proposed
to her."
"To Myrtle?" demanded Jack In a
shocked tone.
"Of course not, stupid to Ma
bille." "Dear me, and they'd only been
running around together four years."
"That's right, laugh.' But if you
heppen to be the one that's ner
zzC dear is me, and you die, well "

"I won't laugh then, will I honey?"
he grinned.
After dinner Jack slipped into his
overcoat to run over to the drug
store for chocolates. His Jill-girl
must be cheered up, and the influence
of the awful ace of spades must be
erased.
"Raining," remarked Jill. She
fetched the umbrella.
"I think there are some little holes
in this old umbrella," said Jill. She
opened the umbrella and raised it,
but Jack suddenly snatched it from
her hand and drew it closed with
a snap.
"Goodness," he exlcaimed angrily.
"Don't you know any better?"
Why, Jack what"
"Terrible bad luck to raise an um
brella in the house,' he said crossly.
"My stars, I thought you knew that."
And he plodded off to the drug
store.

Parents' Problems
How can a very clever and attrac
tive boy of 12, who receives a great
deal of attention from grown-ups,
be kept from becoming spoiled and
self-conscious?
He probably deserves all the atten
tion he gets, and gives to others as
much, as he takes. Just -.look out
that the attention doesn't all come
from .the home people. He probably
needs warmth and response, which
can be-, given without making him
feel that he is everything. Don't
try to "take him down," don't humili
ate him, but keep him busy, utilizing
his cleverness. His charm will take
tare of itself.

Where It Started
Thimbles.
Thimbles have been found at llcr
culancum; it is certain that they
were known to the ancient Romans.
They were first manufactured in
England in 1695. The word was
originally "tumb-bcll," as they were
worn on the thumbs instead of on
one of the fingers.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
If worn where its brilliant 'color
makes it conspicuous, coral will prove
a talisman today.
In Italy, where it is much used as
an amulet, only pieces freshly gath
ered from the sea are believed to be
potent, but the legends of other coun
tries are more liberal, and any un
broken bit of coral is said to give its
wearer wisdom, to permit h:m to
travel in safety and to stanch the
flow of blood from a wound.
The carnelian is the natal stone
of those who were born on some an
niversary of this day. It is a par
ticularly lucky gem for singers, since
it is believed to have a stimulating ef
fect on the human, voice.
A curious interpretation is that
wearing it will give a bashful admir
er the courage to speak.
Black is a lucky color today, ac
cording to oriental superstition. For
married women it is a symbol cf con
stant love, but for young girls it sig
nifies fickleness and coquetry.
The white rose is the significant
flower today.

HOW TO DARKEN
GRAYHAIR
A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make a Remedy for Gray Hair.
A well known resident of Cincin
nati, O., who has been a barber for
more than 40 years, recently ' made
the following statement:
"Anyone can prepare ;a simple
mixture at home, at very' little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and maki
ft soft and. glossy. To a half-pint
of water add 1 ounce bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and
one-fourth ounce glycerine. These
ingredients can be bought at any
drug store at very little cost. Apply
to the hair twice a week until the de
sired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray-haired person look 20
years younger. It is easy to use,
does not color the , most delicate
scalp, is not sticky or greasy and
does not rub off."
