SPECIAL FEATURES OF INTEREST TO WOMEN READERS

But where do you suppose they
went? Why. no further than the
dining-room table.
Right upon the shiny table
stool a small dolls house. all
lighted up. Tin soldiers stood at
the door. The bride and groom
were sitting. leaning against the
leg of table. Pretty soon in
walked the Dustman in Hialmar's
grandma's black cape. Standing
in front of the couple. he opened
a note book that grandma always
uses to set down reminders in
and straightway married the dol
lies to each other.
AS soon as the ceremony was
over the furniture in the room
began singing.
Nov, where shall we go on our
honeymoon? asked the groom.
1t was hard question to de-
eide, so they both walked out In
to the yard and consulted the hen.
a wise creature, and the swallow,
who had travelled much.
The swallow said, Travel by
all means. Go where the climate
is always warm, where big bunch
es of grapes grow in pretty arbors
and where the air is always
balmy."
The hen said, 81 once travelled
IL miles in a chicken coop. There
is no pleasure In travelling. Stay
at home. Stay in the kitchen gar
den, why don't you. where there
are cabbages and a nice grovel
pitt"
The swallow did not like the
hens chatter. He reminded her
of the cold, freezing weather. He
told her there was no beauty in
rows and rows of cabbages, which
are just alike. But II was no use.
Just as he was making his
point, the poor hen commenced to
cry. That settled the matter for
the bride and groom, who decided
to stay at home. They bid the hen
dry her eyes and go back to the
gravel pit and the cabbage patch.
Herman and Bertha settled
down in their little corner of the
nursery In Hialmar's home, where
his sister could find them In the
morning.
The hen and swallow returned
to their usual places. The Dust
man shut up his umbrella and
flew through the window. HAL
mar turned over In bed, rubbed
his eyes and went to sleep again.

Gray Walking Costume

Checks are being worn this
summer more than they have been
for many seasons, If you think
the black and white checks too
common try gray and
white checked wolfe made with
a plain skirt and cutaway
coat of gray diagonal cloth with
long shawl, collar and narrow
cuffs of the checks.
Don't make the mistake of
wearing a gray hat with this kind
OF costume, as black hat Just
gives the individual touch. Be-
sides you must have at least one
black hat In your band boxes this
season, as never before were they
worn with costumes of every
