himself grieyously upon the pate.
Yet the mosquito still buzzed and how

while buxxinx hoveringly.

Our hero has an idea!
Deftly he pulled his saw from his

Of his bed until the push OF a baby

Then. grooming softly to coax the

the twenty-seventh time prepared to
take his last earthly bite. Our hero
was on his back; the mosquito was
on our hero's shining brow.
With dextrous kick the persecuted
man sent the legs of the bed flying
htther, thither and yon.

GIRL WHO WON'T GROW UP is
making her mistake. A letter about her
lies here by me. and makes me think
such a lot Of thoughts that I give 1t
verbatim.
"She is 20 years old, wears her
dresses short, usually a ribbon on
her hair, and sometimes her hair
down her back. She says she Is 60
ing to be an old maid and so dares
not lose her youth. She claims she
is not pretty and must make the
rlost of her charms--the few she has
! so she shows off her little feet In
dainty shoes and hose as much as

and few would guess her real age
Do you condemn her? Yours truly,

SIZE HOLDS IT Up TO
The Girl Who Won't Grow Up

This GIRL WHO WON'T GROW UP
acts young. But the pity of It Is she
is apt to cut capers from fear Of age,
rather than because she FEELS young.
l know a maiden of 80 who acts-like
first-class idiot. SHE acts YOUNG.
She wears silly clothes. She has silly
ideas, all fitted for the mind of a girl
of IT. But her clothes and her actions
and her ideas do NOT make her seem
young; they make her seem foolish!
She is really tragic; but thick-skinned
people think her a Joke. She is GIRL
WHO WON'T GROW UP.
Sitting Down on Their Hips
think 1t is the most utter nom
sense for woman of thirty to wear
the clothes that were thought the
right thing for q woman Of her age
twenty years ago. Women of thirty
today are young because they are
wide awake. and they are losing the
habit of sitting down upon their hips
till they get fat and cushiony. Youth
is in THINKING YOUNG. 1t is in
FEELING YOUNG. 1t Is not In
dressing and acting In kittenish
fashion.
II you THINK and FEEL. absorbing
the air and sunshine of the thousand
opportunities to grow that books and
papers and people and things give you
now, 1t will be natural for you to do
what the evergreen does-wear the
fresh green and have the delightful
vigorous aroma of youth. But the
evergreen does not mako strenuous
efforts to crawl back in It's seed, does
1t? That's the mistake the GIRL
WHO WON'T GROW UP is making.

comes-Zshe means to be one, you say

Now cometh Monona, who is presi-
dent Of the Race Retirement League
and wants to have the unsiyhtly bill

for the housing Of the poor. There ia a
scheme. Just think 1t over and let II
sink to the lowest level of your noodle
The advertising posters could go on in
their lurid work and at the same time
keep out the chill lake wind. And
lingo. but couldn't the decorations be-
made appropriate? Take, for instance,
a little Queen Anne cottage occupied by
one Of the worthy poor who had gotten
his money by the get.rich-quick scheme
and then had lost it. Here is his front
ali done with 'Get-Rich-Quick Walling-
fo rd posters.
And the guy who is afraid to
say thank you above a whisper to
his frau would have Lew Fields Hen
Pecks smeared all over the southern
exposure.
And the spoony musical couple
that lives half way down the block
could retire to the privacy of their
own home, behind twenty-four
sheet advertising the Kiss Waltz

And when 1t comes to infinite
variety, 1t would have the moods and
