l was sitting before my type
writer early this morning trying to
think of a sleepytime story, when |
felt q tug at my sleeve.
Looking up, l saw a little yellow
haired girl whose face was all
spoiled by a pout And peeping over
her shoulder was fat little boy
scowling at me with all his might.
1t was Dorothy and Davie Dear,
come to object about something.
what now?" I asked. pretending
not to notice the heavy frowns'

othy storrnily, and 20 course, you
do Davie chimed in. sticking out
his lower lip in a way that was not
pleasant at all.
I leaned back in my chair and
prepared to listen.
Dorothy giggled little when she
heard me sigh, then hastily checked
her mirth.
Wont you sit DOWN." l asked
politely. "and will you have
cooker"
Davie looked suspicious.
Where are they?" he demanded
to know.
I pulled out drawer and showed
him the bag. Davies face bright
ened and he held out his hand
Dorothy reached forward and pull
ed it back.

till she explains" Then / closed
the drawer with a slam. 1t was my
turn to frown. Now, then, Miss
Dorothy, tell me what all this is
about. You look like anything but
Dear child with that ugly scowl
on your face"
she began, pushing back her curls
with the back of her little brown
hand. you kept Davie and me out
of the story, you did, and put two
strange boys in that we don't
know at all And the little readers
don't know them either. Harry and
and james, Whoever heard of
Harry and James?"
Dorothy tossed her head with
scornful air.
They're very nice boys" said /.
Now it was Davies turn to look
scornful.
Boys! They're not boys, they're
only babies, one four and one six"
he cried, his eyes bashing; look at
me. I'm seven, going on eight, |
am, so what do you think of thai? ?"

acidity:
well, why didn't you go to the
opera If you wanted to? I'm sure 1t
was for you to choose"
The girl who asks a hundred opin-
ions invariably gives credit or blame
in the wrong place. And she loses all
power to decide for herself and stand
by her own reasoning.
You must be your own guide y
you want to make good" Do your
own thinking. your own choosing, and
your own work.
Don't be always undecided. Settle
each little problem as II comes along

surrounding the cheese ball are lit

The cheese balls are made of some

Both morning and night rinse the

This is a splendid complexion tonic.

the water.

A letter from Helen M. tells us
how to take care OF the hair while
at the seashore. Thank you, Helen
as letters like yours are always
acceptable
Dear Miss Doom:
Most people, even those who are
accustomed 70 give the hair care
full attention, are careless of their
locks while staying at the seashore.
AS a matter of-fact, more destruc-
ton may be wrought there in q
month than can be remedied in six.
Before entering the surf it Is q
good plan for bathers to place a
wet sponge at the back of the neck
and let the water fall down the
spine. This is to equalize the tenn
perature. If one plunges head first

sation of dizziness and fullness In
the head. This shock affects the
scalp and incidentally the hair.
The very best treatment for hair
at the seaahore is first to use the
wet sponge as directed and after
coming from the water to take the
juice of a lemon and pour over 1t a
cupful of boiling water. When this
is sufficiently cool saturate the hair
with it and dry with warm towel.
In ten minutes rinse off with warm
water.
When inconvenient to shampoo,
brush the hair we'll and use the
following scalp wash:
