How Shoe Pea Wa. Invented.

To q Massachusetts, man, Joseph
Walker, is due the credit Of invent
ing the shoe peg. Previous to the
year 1918 its use had not been known,
and its inventor gave q new start

Shortly after the introduction Of this
invention some INSCRIPTIONS parties
are said to have tried to swindle the
unsuspecting by endeavoring to sell
shoe pegs as a new kind Of oats.
Up to 1878 boots and shoes had
been sewed, and the peg, made FIRST

from thoughtlessness and the natural
order Of things. The handing down
Of clothes from older to younger, for
example, is almost necessary in many
a family, but It is a hardship for the
younger one, nevertheless.
One family once had two girls In
exactly this situation, the younger be-
ing just so much behind her sister In
growth and development that It came
perfectly natural that the elders
dresses should fall to her lot In the
course Of time. And 80 It happened
that all the new things were the old

made over for herself.
One day the elder was told by her
mother to 60 downtown and select
some material which she liked for her
graduation dress and bring It homo

started to 90. when the younger spoke
up in all seriousness: Don't you

Like many, perhaps most literary
men, Harry was 'temperamental." A
rising writer, already earning COM
Portable income, Harry had created
heroines innumerable, blondes and
brunettes, piquant heroines, stately
ones, demure and dainty ones. Some
times he had wished that he could
turn some of these ideals into flesh
and blood. But alas! The ideal hero

nothing.
And Norma was not HaTTy's ideal.
She was simply a sweet girl, admir-
ably suited to him. Harry felt a re-

ing away from his latest creation, he
encountered the blue eyes of Norma,
sane, healthy and always bringing
him back tot his proper appreciation
Of life.
