Now. then" said Dorothy Dear,
settling back against q cherry tree
in the Brown backyard with a smile
of satisfaction, Its your turn. Do
know what you're going to tell
about?"
Mary Elizabeth was lying on her
stomach on the sunny grass, elbows
on the ground and chin in the
palms of both hands
aN-no," said Mary Elizabeth,
slowly waving her slim legs in the
air. 'T'n have to think, so don't
talk to me for minute" Then
she closed her eyes, and Dorothy
knew that the necessary thinking
was in progress.
Dorothy wondered what kind of
story it would be- You never could
depend on Mary Elizabeth. Shed
Just as soon make up story about
grasshoppers or wild elephants as
anything csc, thought Dorothy, as
she idly watched a little yellow
butterfly fit about In the sun.
"Goodnessi You're a long time
thinking, Mary 'Lizbeth, said Dor
othy. Mary Elizabeth opened her
eyes.
YOU'D be angry II did that to
You, Dorothy Dear" she said Sc
verely. you won't let anyone
speak, even, when you're thinking
out story. I've a notion not to
play at all"
Dorothy was sorry, and said so.
''I didn't think" declared she. "and
I'm a mean old thing; and it'd
serve me right If you didn't play"
she added gloomily.
Upon which Mary Elizabeth be-
gan to smile
I'm going to begin right now"
she announced. "Once upon a time
there was a girl named Lucy. Lucy
was ten years old and very pretty.
She had blue eyes and short golden
hair that curled all over her head.
Lucy lived in the country, on a
big farm. II was so far from other
farms that Lucy very seldom had
anybody to play with 'cept when
some of the neighbors came visit
ing.
"But she was very happy little
girl, just the same, and was not
lonesome very often. cause her
mother was quite young and very
sweet and used to let Lucy help
her make butter and do all sorts of
nice things.
Lucy had dog, too, a big
Scotch collie called Donald, and
this story is mostly nbout Donald
and how he saved Lucy's life.
Does It sound all right?" Mary
Elizabeth looked at Dorothy
'anxiously.
Splendid" cried Dorothy. you
can tell a story every bit as we'll as
I can, better event"
20, Dorothy, you know better"
declared Mary Elizabeth earnestly.
"Why, your stories sound as IL they
came right out of books, but
mine"
DO. too" interrupted Dorothy;
80 don't be silly and think they
aren't good"
Mary Elizabeth fairly beamed
with pleasure Then she went on
with her story.
Donald was a beautiful dog. He
had pointed ears and a pointed
nose, and the softest, kindest eyes
you ever saw His fur was brown
and thick. and on the end of his
tail was a little bit of white. o.
course he had a white collar. like
all good collie dogs, and on his
nose was a funny, crooked white
spot that always made Donald look
as II he was smiling. And Lucy
loved him very, very much.
Donald was always at Lucy's
heels. In the winter, when her
father drove with her to school, he
would run behind the buggy, and
stay right in the schoolyard until
school was out. At recess time all

OF the children would run out to
play. and Donald would bark with
delight and run to pick up sticks as
long as they would throw them.
And when the teacher rang the bell
and all the children went inside,
Donald would curl up in a corner
and sleep. If it was very cold the
teacher would let him lie in the en-
try where the children kept their
coats and hats.
AT noon time the children always
gave him bits OF bread and cake,
and in Lucy's 1unchbox there was
always bone for Donald. So, you
see, he was a very happy dog"
Mary Elizabeth paused for breath,
and Dorothy said:
Il love dogsi Our Laddie is a
dear old dog, too. He wouldn't
hurt IA flea. But he does love to
chase cats" she added honestly.
"All dogs do. It's cause they're
dogs" declared Mary Elizabeth.
''I s'pose so,' said Dorothy, pull
ing at her curls; funny, isn't ft2
Are you rested now?'
"Um-hum," said Mary Elizabeth,
sitting up and clasping her knees.
in the summertime, when there
was no school, Lucy used to de.
pend upon Donald for company. If
she went blackberrying, he went
too. And II she went on the front
porch to read, he would curl up at
her feet and sleep. One day Lucy
said to her mother. Please may l
go down to the brook and wade?'
. Her mother looked sad. and said,
I am afraid you will fall in the
water little Lucy
oh. no indeedl I will be very,
very careful, cried Lucy: please
let me 60 mother. The water will
be so lovely and cool, and Donald
will go with me-
Very well. then said Lucy's
mother.

close together, SO as to make an even
foundation for the covering.
There are many times when one
wishes to use scalloped borders on
curved lines, as for finishing the neck
of a garment or collar. This may be
done very easily by clipping the a er
on both sides of the design, close to
the pattern itself. The transfer pat

A Party for Girls
Dear Miss Doom:

n ait III NAAAS
Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know what would
be advisable to give for favors at a
social where there are only girls?
Would like something that could be
made at home. Also let me know
some games which can be played
for prizes. Thanking you In adj
vance for your favor, / am.
HELLO.
Why not have a Dutch social? It
would be novel and interesting.
Have the decorative scheme carried
out in blue and white. Crepe paper
sets, consisting of white table,
cloths adorned with delft blue
windmills and little Dutch boys and
girls with napkins to match, may
be obtained in the stores. You
could have little Dutch dolls for
favors, and the eentrepiece could be
a blue bowl filled with white chrys-
anthemums.
Games may be played before and
after supper is served. OF course
you know the dishes that are served
at Dutch suppers, so will not de-
vote space TO them.
Procure one of the games called
Fishing Pond" at any of the de-
partment stores and with the little
poles ask your guests to sit four
at each table (the same as il play
ing cards. and then fish for the her
ring, which is one of the Industries
of the Dutch and therefor should be
a typical Dutch game.
The prizes may be Dutch in char
acter. There are the dear little
windmills in the delft ware. An old
Dutch plate will be appreciated by
the ladies'. Your own ideas may
suit you better in this line, how
ever
There lie q game called Ana
grams" which is formed OF all the
letters of the alphabet duplicated
many times. These letters arc
given to the guests and they are
requested to spell some Dutch word
with them. The fortunate one who
spells the greatest number of words
with these letters will receive a
prize. They will find 1t possible
for them to spell many names, II
they try, from a very few letters.
Procure little pocket dictionary
of English and Dutch, which you
will find costs no more than 10
cents, and in this Dutch dictionary
look up the words, so you can help
out with suggestions IL necessary.
It would be easy for the hostesses
to fashion quaint little Dutch cos
tunes. If they desired.
Very acceptable favors would be
little Dutch caps of lawn, cotton
crepe, or figured cotton wolfe, with
turn-back of lace or embroidery
and knots OF ribbon over each ear
These could easily be made at
home.
think this program will carry
you very nicely through an eve-
ming. If you want moro games
let me know.
