CXMddrers (Nfper

I once knew a little girl who
was so discontinued that she
made everyone about her unhap-
Ply. Her people were poor and
they had to live in a small house.
There were several little brothers
and sisters and it was rather
crowded and sometimes a little
untidy, for their mother had a
great deal to do.
Jennie was very pretty little
|girl, and one day when she was out
playing a beautiful lady passed
her home and saw her. Having
lost her own little girl, she want
ed very much to have Jennie.
She talked long with Jennie's
mother and father, who at first
could not think of parting with
her. However, the lady finally
convinced them that Jennie would
be so much happier with her
where she could have everything
she wanted and go to fine
school, 80 they let her go.
For a few days Jennie was very
happy ideed. The lady bought
her many pretty dresses, and
when the nurse curled her hail
and tied lovely little hat or
her, she could hardly believe hei
syes when she saw herself in
the glass. She had beautiful
little room all to herself, and 9
lovely dolly to play with.
But there was something the

Not for any $40 for lumber, he
isn't. I've had my mind on that
barn for some time and some
things going to turn up from ID
Something's always turning up In
the Turner family.
Pa Turner didn't seem so posi-
tive since Ma Turner had cut into
the conversation. He looked
ready to listen to any proposition
Ma Turner might make.
cts lucky" said Ma Turner,
that the barn amt ever been
painted, Bill, 1 want you to start
right out and stain the barn
brown. Pa, you go out and knock
the stalls down and put UP a
couple of partitions upstairs"
well, what the" began Pa
Turner, but Ma Turner interrupts
ed him.
"And tomorrow" she said,
"we'll take some of those boxes
in the cellar and make some built
in book cases where the stalls
used to be and make a builtin
fireplace and hang the windows
on hinges and make French win
dows of 'em. It's lucky they're
small, for that's stylish now.
"We'Il paint the woodwork
brown and slap on some calso-
mine and then we'll have a dandy
living room. Well make the
COW shed into kitchen with a
built-in sink"
Where's the diningroom?''
asked Pa Turner.

amt your" responded Ma Turner
"Well, folks'll eat in the living
room; that's the latest fad"
''That sounds to me like Q
bungalow" said Milly Turner.
How'd you ever guess it?'
said Ma Turner, sarcastic like.
In 10 days the work was done
There was a brass knocker on the
old barn door and the chimney
was covered with stucco and the
hay was all swept out OF the up
stairs and the windows were
clean.
Ma Turner went out and looked
| it over. Then she tackled a big
red for rent sign on the front
And she put an ad in the city
paper telling about the lovely
bungalow called "The Lilac Bush
amid fragrant fields and fresh
air."
Pa Turner said when he read
that he wished he could Lilac
that. But Ma Turner didn't pay
any attention and two days later
she rented the old barn for $40 o
month.

Is 1t right for boys to put their

A: Girls are very foolish to
allow these privileges, for boys

who has been kissed by others.
The act in itself cannot be called
wrong, perhaps, but great wrong
may come from 1t. You will I'M

have little girls of your own.
Then you will feel just as / do,
and just as your mother does
