In the course of the day Ferris
purchased six tickets to charity
concerts, gave two sets of golden
beauty pins to the Langley twins
Just named in his honor, took out
a life insurance policy, purchased
an 18-yolume set of Lives of the
Wives of the Presidents on the
installment plan, and Endorsed the
notes of three friends as surety.
That evening, after he had count
ed up the net sum of his benefac-
tons and investments, he faced a
deficit of $40 as the result of his
plunge in wheat. Ferris scratched
his head, walked the floor, whis-
tiled plaintive bar and picked up
The Evening Planet for another
look at the weird progressions of
Benning, king of the waving
wheat. Next day he withdrew an
other 5000 from the bank and be-

favored him again, and the two
hundred became four hundred.

A busy mother with four girls
ranging in age from to II has
out of her experience evolved a
pattern that can be used for each
child by frightening the pattern
according to size. 1t is simple,
easily made, may be used for the
plainest play dress. and also for
the smart little party dress,
Double the material, which must
be twice the. length of the child
from shoulder to hem faliowiug
for wide hem) Cut out according
Ito pattern, with neck and sleeves
round or square as you prefer.
The entire width OF the material
Is used, which makes the sleeves
Just the right length. 1t Is so
simple that one can cut out and
complete dress in a half hour.
1t is very pretty made of plain
material with neck and sleeve fac
ings of bias plaid.
The more elaborate dress has
three tucks on each shoulder
which take up the width of mate
rial, hence the sleeves will have
to be cut afterward and joined to
the body of the dress with en-
|broidery insertion. The fullness
lat the waist is gathered into q
belt OF the insertion. which may
be used on the dress In many
other ways to add to its beauty.
There dresses Iuay ba worn
with or without q guimpe.

THE FORTUNE OF FERRIS
BY Stuart B. Stone.

When Benning, the great wheat
king. began to manipulate the
golden grain, Ferris withdrew a
hundred dollars from the bank
and closely followed the lead OF
the financier. As Benning forced
the market upward Ferris became
more enthusiastic, investing $50
additional. With the market be-
coming day by day more bullish.
Ferris put in another $50. The
end Of the matter was that certain
mighty gentlemen of the street
we're placed In close, uncomfort-
able corners, while Bennins
cleared his millions and Ferris
cleaned up with $50.
The morning after the close OF
the campaign Ferris was congretn-
lated by his friend, Mr.. VIM. Tan
: ner. II hear you've become ga
wheat king, Ferris. You'll be
buying seat in the stock ex-
change next"
Ferris reared back, smiling fat

Mr.. Tanner slapped him on the
back. You'll be giving away IL
braries presently" he cackled.
And. say, Bob. I'm needing q ten
for few days"
In a glow of opulency, Ferris
produced the ten and proceeded
down the street. At the corner he
was accosted by his youthful
nephew. sOh, Uncle Bob, Pm SO
glad you made million dollars.
Now you can buy me that pretty

Sure acquiesced Ferris.
