lHE IABBIES HAVE THEIR PICTURES TAKEN
By FLORENCE E. YODER.

IL OF the Tabby children but
~ Tessie went to have their
n pictures taken. Mrs. Tabby
wanted to have all of the
children in the picture, but at the
very last minute Tessie had a ter
rible accident, and had TO stay at
home.
The Tabhyland photographer was
rather small dog gentleman, with
long, silky ears and a very kindly
expression. He wore glasses. which
sat on the end of his nose and were
coming OF all of the time. The Tab
by children were very fond of him,
especially Tessie.
he made Binkie Tabby sit at one
end and Tom Tabby at the other,
and put Tottie in the middle-then
he asked where Tessie was, and
Mrs. TAbby had to tell him.
The night before they had gone
to bed early, even Tom was as good
as gold II want to look my best in
this picture" he said, "and 1 am not
going TO take any chances. - That is
a good idea" added Binkie, I'VE
might get in trouble IL We stay up.
Mother says that we are good when
we are asleep, so lets go to bed"
Tottie did not say a word. She
wouldn't have missed having her
picture taken for anything in the
world, and she knew that she would
be good.
on, I'm always all right laughed
Tessie. II am not terribly bad, and
I am not too good. In fact. I'm
tust right, l. You had better

her mother, "or you will get in
trouble without knowing it, Tessie
Just laughed and said that she
knew how to take care of herself
Tom and Binkie and Tottie hurried
upstairs and went to bed, but Tes-
sic was left sitting out on the front
step looking at the moon.
She heard her mother moving in
the house but did not go in to see
what she was about. She neard her
walking back and forth, and stand
ing still and hitting something with
her hands, and making such mys-
terious noises that finally she said to
herself Now, mother is making
something good. I'll be surprised If
she does not try to hide 1t from
me-" She uppie toed sofuy into
the house. and just as she did so,
Mrs. Tabby threw a clean tea towel
over something in the largest pan.
Tessie stopped short. Mrs. rabby
did not seem to hear her, for she
went out of the room carrying the
pan with her. TessIe followed, not
making a sound. Mrs. Tabby took
the strange looking pan and its
cloth cover ana walked 10 the cup
board in her room. Then she opened
the door and PIT THE PAX ON
THE HIGHEST SHELF!

go to bed, was going to do.
Tessie walked straight to the cup

had disappeared. She opened it-she
stood on her toes and stretched
and reached-and then she jumped
a little ways and caught hold of the
edge of the pan-and before Mrs.

She struggled so hard and rolled

ERTAINLY no one architec.
4 tural feature has received as
" much attention. and been so
glorified these past few years,
as the porch. A trip through any
small village with old-time houses
will show the old d-fashioned, narrow
"veranda" which could only accom-
modate a few chairs in & straight
row, and which was chiefly utilized
by father and his evening pipe.
But today our modern builders are
starting with the porch, and at
taching a house and inside rooms
whenever seems necessary. This Is
all in line with the increased inter-
est in outdoors, and a desire to
have as much fresh air as possible.
And so has resulted the porch-liying
room. and the MANY furniture and
other porch accessories which are so
attractive and serviceable.
The first step to making the porch
an outdoor room is to have IL suffi-
GENTLY shaded either with screens,
shutters or vines, so as to be private
and away from public gaze. In a
fly or mosquitoe location, screens go
without saying.
Probably the first piece OF furni-
ture to be chosen would be some kind
OF hammock, hammock-couch, CT the
many ''porch-swings," which are Of
wood, with comfortable cushions.
ANY stiff and uncomfortable chair or
seat is TO be avoided; and one rea-
son many porches are not all they
should be, is just because chairs of
the 'camp-stool'' variety are chosen,
instead of seats with plenty of room,
and comfort. Such chairs are typi-
fed in the "old hickory" chairs. the
rush. willow and splint-bottom chairs
with arms, which are very wide in
the seat.
All pillows and coverings should be

To Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

EAR TINY TIM" If there is
one thing l particularly hesi-
tate TO do il Is to advise any
girl to go against her mothers
wishes. And vet. after you have
formed so strong friendship as yours
for the young man you mention, 1t
| seems n shame to break it up except
for a very good reason. Talk 1t all
ever frankly with your mother. Per-
haps she has some reason that you
do not know for disliking your friend,
or, perhaps, If she knew how much
1t means to you she would withdraw
her objections. AS for visiting his FAM
lily, there can be no possible objection
on the score of propriety. The only
rub is the. fact that your family does
not like them.
whether to go against the wishes of
your peiple or not-but don't decide
lightly. Think 1t over carefully, and
whatever you decide to do, be frank
about 1t. II the young man has told
you in his letters that he cares for
you. there is no reason why you should
ignore 1t. IL you want to discuss the
subject and he is too shy to bring It
up. bring it up yourself. But IL you
would rather wait, sooner or later he
will voice his feelings IL he really cares
for you. Shyness, uncertainty, of a
woman's answer, or lots of other things
may tie n mans tongue for a while
but in tho end love, like murder, will
out.
Dear 'Lovelorn": You arc a grown
woman, and, in a matter 80 vital to your
happiness. will have to make your own
decision. 1t is putting too much re-
sponsibility on another pe=5n to even
ask her to advise you-pnrticularly a |
person who has no knowledge of the
men involved. Just one thing I will
say, and that is that IL is a dangerous
business to marry one man when you |
care-and admit you care-fUr another.
