when she wanted a favor from him
she was overcome with solicitude for
.Dear Daddy"
Let me write that letter for you.
Dear Daddy she begged. while you
rest on the lounge. Just tell me what
1t Is and I can write it as well as
not"
Her father told her briefly that it
was a notice to John Barton of Pitts
bug. Pa, that interest on the mort
gage was overdue, and unless he re-
rnitted promptly the firm would be
compelled to foreclose.
That sounded easy. and Daysey
Mayme rejecting the business sta
tjonery her father used. got out some
marked with her own monogram and
began.
My dear Mr. Barton she wrote,
''nny name is Daysey Mayme Apple

me for addressing you without the
formaity of an introduction. when
tell you I am doing it to tighten the
work of my Dear Daddy, who is lying

would always be the right hand of my
Dear Daddy. Have you any daughters

Barton (excuse the second Dear, but

sympathy for you in some way), you
will need the help of both daughters
and sons to sustain you in the blow
about to fall upon you, and for which

world. l never go out of town to at

Dear; I really don't know what your

Mr.. Barton-I forgot what l started
to write, but. of course, you have
wife, and your home is a dear old
: homestead to you, with a moss COW
cred bucket and all that sort of thing,
and to leave it forever will pluck out
your heartstrings. But you must look
on the bright side, remembering al
ways that vans make moving easy
these days.
With a heart full of sympathy.

would go to her and explain that busi-

to pay her if she will make the dress
right, she will come to terms. Kind
ness is great thing. kid, especially
when it gets you something. That's
the only reason lot of people in this
world are kind
Maybe you are right" said the
Manicure Lady. II hate to go now
and be nice to her after the fierce
scrap we had. We called each other
so hard that / feel kind of coy and
retiring about going to her and being
nice. Amt there some way that /
could send word to her and have her
make the first reproaches?"
Not after she has went so far as
to sue you," replied the Head Barber
When they get that far they don't
hire no taxi to call and talk it over
with you. That's why the lawyer has
his address plain on the paper. i
never was sued, but better knock on
wood. The way tips is nowadays, the
tips on slow horses and the tips I
don't get from customers. may be
getting the same work you got from
my butcher and grocer. / hope not,

'Wilfred is all the time getting
sued" said the Manicure Lady. He
read somewhere that Bobbie Burns
