Gladio felt herself being carried along

stopped and opened the bag.
Hop out. little girl" he said, here
we are at home"
Gladio found herself in room where
II was nice and warI1. and table was
spread for her supper. After she had
eaten the giant told her to ring a little
bell that was on the table.
In few minutes queer-looking lit
tie cid woman appeared.
Show Gladio to her rcom," said the
giant.
The little old woman wore a funny
Feaked white cap, which had a full rIIf-
fie around the face. Her dress was
OF high-heeled shoes with silver buckles.
She also wore white apron without

Her eyes were bright, and, while her

Gladio felt she had known her all her
life, AMI was quite willing to go with
her.
Goodnight" said the giant as GIadio
went out of the room; you need not be
afraid here; no one will harm you

Gladio, as she said goodnight to him
The little old lady took >Gladio to a.
pretty little room and told her a story.
after she was in bed and the first thing
she knew she had been asleep and it,
was morning and time to get up. :
When Otto and the four sisters awoke
they found themselves in a nice conn.,
Portable house, with a lawn In front,
although 1t was covered with snow. and,
at the back Of the house there was q
place for a large vegetable garden
is this not much better than having
Gladio?' asked one Of the sisters as
Otto came to the breakfast table, you
have four daughters left, you can easily
spare her" But Otto shook his head.
No" he replied II can never enjoy
Gladio is happy or not, perhaps she is
crying this minute
You are a foolish old man." said his
daughters, and you do not appreciate
all the good fortune that has come TO
you"
But Otto was not happy: he wanted
some word from Gladio and he did not
know where to go to find her.
At last his daughters told him to go
and look around the grounds Of his new
home, hoping he would forget Glsdio
and not bother worrying about her.
While he was gone knock came at
the door and when one of the sisters
opened 1t there stood the giant.

Some New Things in
Fall Millinery Styles

Pierrots, helmets and turbans are
the leading shapes in autumn mil
linery and they come in velour.
French felt, velvet and zibiline-cov-
cred buckram.
Feather bands, mercury wings, me-
tallic thread and cordage butterflies
and beetles, striped uncut velvets,
stiff bows of double-faced satin rib
bon and plated taffeta ribbon bows
are the favorite trimmings for any
hat worn with a tailored suit, while
to go with demi-toilettes there are
fetching models in black velvet with
wide faring brims and trimmings Of
ostrich, osprey and bird of paradise
despite the war declared upon them
by the Audubonites
One thing to remember is that head
sizes of hats are constantly getting
smaller, and that the smartest head
gear Is posed to show the hair rather
than to give the impression that
American womankind becomes bald
in early life.

IT can help you'' said the giant. 'If
you will give me your youngest dahgh-
ter you shall have a comfortable home
and a garden in the summer"
Gladio was frightened and ran to
her father, but her sisters pulled her
away and pushed her toward the
giant.
Take her." they all cried, land
give us a home that is comfortable. -"
Gladio began to cry and Otto said:
mo, I cannot part with Gladio un-
less she wishes to CO."
The four sisters took their father
aside and told him he was a foolish
old man and they all would starve IL
he did not consent and urge Gladio
to 90 with the giant.
While the sisters were talking 10 their
father the giant smiled at Gladio and
told her not to be afraid, and his face
was so kind when he smiled that Gladio
got ever her fear and said she would

The four sisters were thinking only of
their own comfort, however. and when
Gladio said she would go with the
giant they held her hack and said:

A G street department store is show

asking for The Shopper.
BY THE SHOPPER.

Does my petticoat show? Does my
dress wrinkle over the hips? These are
the questions that women ask each
other many times a day.
From these, and other petticoat wor-
ries women are to be forever emanci-
npated with the introduction of a brand
jmew idea which was shown me this
brlorning. 1t is a petticoat with an ad-
tnsstable waist band that will fit any
msDdy, from the woman with a twenty
,ch waistband, to the one whose waist
b. easures a yard or more.
Everybody knows what an unsightly
INCH is produced when ones under
kirt is too large in the band. Now
that they are making gowns almost
slrtn-fitting, it Is necessary that the
undergarments fit perfectly, or the en-
tire effect of the outer garment is en-
urely lost; Not one underskirt out of
dozen does this, but with the new
petucoat that | saw this morning, 1t
Will be a woman's own fault. IT, in
The future, she appears in garments
that are not neat and smooth-tittinS.
The skirt can be put on or taken of
in a moment, simple snaps being used
TO accomplish the adjustment. They
are bound to hang evenly at the bot
tom. because they fit perfectly at the
waist and hips. These skirts come in

teenth and F streets. Women will be
quick to appreciate their unusual ad-
vantages after they have once seen
them.

messaline satins, in all the most desir-
able evening shades at 70 cents a yard
in a department store in Seventh
street. near New York avenue. There
was a beautiful cream and an ivory
white, which would develop into beau
tiful wedding gowns. This is a hint
for the autumn bride.
In a store on F street, near Elev-
enth, that is devoted to womens

They were bordered with fringe and

~ NCE upon a time there was a
T. poor man named Otto who had
five daughters, and, while all
of them were very handsome,
the youngest, whose name was Gladio,
was the most beautiful Of all.
But Otto was very poor and could
not support them, and one night when
the wind was blowing and the snow
falling fast outside his poor little house
he sat with his five daughters around
the fireplace wondering what would be-
come of them.
Suddenly a knock came at the door

Will YOU kindly advise me through the COL

she thinks the same Of him, but he insists
upon coming every night to see my daughter,

that he should advise my daughter what
company she should 80 with and does not
want her to go out with girls to theater
at night. He does not even care for her
TO go out with any girl friend, fearing she
might meet other boys; he appears to be very
Jealous OF her. Ny girl says she loves him

he is getting my girl under his control en-

me kindly what to do, as l am myself only

ANXIOUS MOTHER.
II the first place, 1t seems to me you
are making a grave mis- take to allow a
girl sixteen years of age to accept the
attention of a young man. BY this, I
do not mean to indicate that girls of
this age should be denied the company
of young men entirely. Wholesome boy
lowed all young people But to allow a
girl to accept the individual attention
of young man and to allow him to
call upon her every night is the acme
OF foolishness on the part Of any
mother. You say he advises her rs to
her conduct ard tells her with whom
she may associate. Do you not think
It presumptuous on the rart of any
N,anS
engaged? thoroughly agree with him,
however, when he says that 1t is not
proper for your daughter to go to the
theaters with other girls at night. This
is none the less improper than for her
to receive bis attentions night after
night. You say she claims to love this
young man. but / do not believe that
any girl Of your daughters age knows
her own mind, as regards love. l can
not advise you otherwise than tell you
to try to get your daughter interested
in other boys and girls of her own age,
to go out with other boys and girls and
to insist that this yonng man shall call
less often until such a time as they
become engaged. If the young mans
attentions are honorable he will ask for
your perm 'ssioE to pay his respects to
her. Until he does this, he has no
right to insist upon Inonopolizing all Of
your caGghter's time.
