FINGERS AND THUMBS
They Got Crossed With a Gouty
Hand in Giving a Secret
Grip.
BY ELIZABETH BENTON.

SO you're the young man that
thinks he can act as my secretary,
hey?" inquired Mr.. Pagan, swinging
round In his swivel chair and staring
at Blake under pair OF bushy gray
eyebrows. Nine and twenty rvs

and proved highly efficient. In fact,
before the month was out Fagan had
become 80 attached to him that he
was constantly requesting his pres.

outskirts of the manufacturing town.
Blake had two troubles about this
time. One was his inability to dis

was Fagan's daughter. Muriel. 1t was
case of love at first sight with both

BANDEAU HAT HERE TO STAY

Unsuccessful Attempts.

Every so often the bandeau rises i'm.

this attempted uprising on the part

last spring and the spring before that,
but this year the bandeau really
seems to have established a place for
itself in millinery. and the latest mod
