Just Before It's Bedtime
DRUSILLA IS FUMIGATED.

I~ OBBY JONES had not seen Dru-
x silla In long time. He wonder
IL ed II she had gone on another
trip, and contented himself with
| the thought that she would no doubt
have an interesting story to tell OF an
adventure or something she had seen.
But on day she came back her little
mother brought her In. The little mother
| looked very white and thin. Bobby
| thought, as he peeked through the crack
OF his box where the lid did not close
| tight.
Drusiila was looking better than he
had ever seen her. but It was not until
that night that he learned the cause.
Bobby was looking out of his box as
soon as the house was quiet, for he
wanted to have n good long talk with
Drusilla.
81 have been through a terrible ex-
periencc." said Drusilla. II have been

Bobby stared he had no moro idea
what that meant than nothing in the
world.

found Bobby did not reply to this piece

my clothes brought to her room and
she played with me on the bed.
THAT night slept with her and In

The next morning a nurse with a white

You always look nice to me Dru-

gallant
We'll. Bobby Jones, II that is not Just

certainly are not very observing. have
a trunk full OF clothes too"
But what was 1t that happened to
you?" asked Bobby. not caring half so
much about Drusillas new clothes as
he did about what he thought was an
adventure. what was that fuming you
spoke of"
Drusilla laughed "FumIgating, Bobby "
she said. ''it is hard to pronounce, but

After they took my little mother to

Seen in the Shops

The mems store which Is on Seventh
street, between ID and T. streets. has
some wonderful values in boys over
coats and douhle-breasted Norfolk
suits. Heavy cloths in large patterns
are worn this season, although some
cling to the smooth Cheviots and broad
cloths for dress wear. For the youth
however, the more weighty materials
are In good form for any occasion,
either in suits or ovcrCoats. At the store
mentioned. double breasted Norfolk
suits. In cassimeres and tweeds, inClud-
ing blues, grays and browns with wide
knickerbockor pants. are well made and
neatly finished and are A9S the SUIT
Long heavy ovcrcoats with convertible
collars. In tourist models. having strap
at b X, are made up in large and small
patterned fancy kerseys, for S49S.
Although time-worn tradition insists
that women do not know how to buy
cigars. and that it Is a sin for them
to waste good money in buying rags"
nothing in the world can prevent their
giving the price of a box to some poor
soul with the directions for purchasing
them at certain establishment At
the corner. or near the corner. of Ninth

which seems to have wonderful bar
gains In cigars, and judging from the
crowd of men al the cigar counter most

four for % cents. 81 Is asked. but for
fear OF quoting something which would
cause trouble in the home, lesser prices

II the house In which one lives is

For Sl9.75. a set OF 100 pieces of Havi-

siders that the price per set for fine

this, one can see that it Is an oppor-
tunity that should not be missed. AL
though the much tiatterCd month OF

the fall and winter months do not seem

wine was in those days, considered
the height of improperly. Then
Betty saw her uncle rise laboriously
TO his feet and drink n toast 10 his
guests. After that followed five min

This conversation was becoming

il was a signal for the ladies to go.
So Betty rose with the others, curt
