Continued from yesterday

As Christmas time drew near
Dorothy and Davie grew more and
more excited. Such whisperings as
went on in the dear Dear household.
Such smuggling of queer, knobby
parcels. The air was full of Its a
secret" and don't you tell" and
like remarks, until even baby Bus
ter caught the infection, and bah
bled at a great rate of Santa
Tause' and "Tismus tees"
One bright morning Dorothy
sprang out of bed in hurry, hur-
ried across the hall in her bare feet,
holding up her nightdress to keep
from tripping, and banged on
Davies door, telling him to hurry
into his clothes.
It's Saturday, you know" she
added, "and you know what's going
to happen"
"Jeeminy!" cried DaYie, and then
Dorothy could hear him hurrying
about the room.
Mother Dear and nurse Nellie had
promised to take them down town
to see the wonders of the toy sec
tions of the big stores. 1t is doubt
full II two children ever dressed so
quickly. Downstairs they tumbled,
and into the dining room, faces
glowing, taking their places at table
with such n clatter Of chairs that
Norah, out In the kitchen, remarked
to Henry, the handy man, that they
sounded like regiment o sojers.
II don't want any breakfast" re-
marked Davie; when are we
going to start?''
Mother Dear looked at him
sternly.
NO breakfast, no trip" she de-
clared, $50 you might as well begin
TO eat your oranges"
Sullxily, Dayie picked up his or
ange spoon, announcing that he
wasn't hungry, and just knew he
couldn't eat a whole egg and a
whole big slice of toast.
You're hungry enough other
days. remarked nurse Nellie,
when we aren't thinking of trips"
Besides chimed in mother Dear,
as she poured the coffee, We're not
to start until half-past nine"
And what time is it now?'
asked Davie, his spoon in midair.
Eight o'clock"
"Oh!" Davie suddenly discov-
cred that he was quite as hungry
as on other days. and ate his break
fast with relish, even asking for
more toast and another glass of
milk.
isn't Buster going, too?" asked

Dear Miss Doom:
am only seventeen years Oh1
and am getting too stout. II [
walk distance am quite ez-
hausted. Could you please tell m
how l can become slim?
ANNIE.
If you have viii power enough to
deprive yourself of sweets and rich
foods. and take a goedly amount Of
exercise you win be able 10 war7
of superfiuous pounds. / would
not advise you to adopt a strict
diet. however without the advice
OF a physician.
Things to avoid are eggs. brothE,
cream, sugar. cereals, butter, vege-
tables that grow under ground,
such as potatoes. ttirnips, parsnips
and beets: rat meats and fish that
contain much oil.
Clear tea. clear coffee, unsweet-
ened lemonade, lean meats, green
vegetables and all fruits except ba-
nanas may be taken freely. Walk
a great deal in the open air.
1t would be a good idea to join 2
gymnasium and exercise as youf

absently, Provided the engine will

I, with difficulty, restrained a
groan.
Jaynes washed and secured the
dishes and packed them away in the
big box we had brought from the
motor boat. After that we set forth
for the surf side OF the peninsula,
for I was obsessed by a desire for
another swim to cool off my body and
arouse me from my wholly morose
lethargy. Mary and I made the trip

and bit my sunburned flesh like red
hot needles. I began making elabo-

that Jaynes's occasional glance at
me was slightly amused. He was very
busy helping Mary.
Arrived on the surf side I WAS all
for going in at once, but Jaynes de-

Restoring Ermine Furs

These delicate furs soil very quick
ly in the smoke and fog of town, but
they may be kept fresh and dainty
for long time. If you take a rag of
soft white flannel and rub It against
the hair, then dip 1t in -four, and APP
ply gently but firmly until the fur Is
perfectly clean; now rub with a fresh
piece OF flannel, until the last yestige
of the flour has disappeared.
The lining need not be removed,
and this simple precaution preserves
the color of the errnine.
