gets the Christmas trot in such exag-

After such effort her brain, had begun
to feel as infamed as a sprig Of holly.
She had scratched name after name off
her list and had at last come to father.
Dear father" she thought. He is
so good! ! must remember dear ia

She coaxed $40 out Of him as a pre-
liminary effort to remembering him,
and with this in her purse she started
downtown.
She passed millinery store on the
way and went in. When she came out
she had paid $1S for sweet little hat

BOTH RIGHT AND NATURAL,

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is 1t right for a fellow to ask a
girl to go out with him on a Mon
day and Thursday? Do you think
he cares anything about her?
M. M. F.
He certainly cares for her or he would
not seek her company two evenings a
week. AS this love story progresses
shall be sure he is limited in time or
love if he doesn't seek it oftener.
