Fairy went soberly down cellar and
brought up the golden strip. Then,
ostensibly to call her sister, she hur-
ried up the stairs.
Girls" she began. carefully clos
ing the door Of their room behind her
Jerry has gone and isn't coming
back any more. And for goodness
sake, don't keep asking questions
about it. Just eat your breakfast as
usual, and have little tact"
"Gone!" 0' ~~ "H s|@@..

"a lovers quarrel" suggested Lark,
and her eyes glittered greedily.
Nothing of the sort And don't
keep staring at Prue, either. And do
not keep talking about Jerry all the
time. You mind, or | will tell papa"
That's funny" said Carol thought
fully 1--WE left them kissing each
other like mad in the back yard last
this morning he has gone
to return no more. They are crazy"
kissing! In the back yard! What
are you talking about?"
Carol explained and Fairy looked
still more thoughtful and perturbed.
She opened the door and called out
to them in loud and breezy voice,
Hurry, girls, for breakfast is ready
and there's no time to waste in par
sonage on Sunday morning" Then
she added in a whisper, And don't
you mention Jerry, and don't ask Pru-

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN are ASKING
what to do to acquire beauty. And
few seem to consider another thing
as important-what not to 20. DO
you want to be beautiful? Then
read, and heed, these "don'ts":
Don't undersleep.
For an overfull stomach means an
overworked digestion. And an over
worked digestion means that tho
pores of the skin must help throw on
The poison matter accommodating IN
the body, which in turn means
.imples and blotches. III.
Don't undersleep "
Most people need eight full hours
Of sleep. @nemic or nervous women
should have nine. Dull eyes and a
dull skin are often due to lack OF
sleep. ~ W.
Don't be afraid of exercising
The body Is huge and compli-
Gated machine, and the blood acts
somewhat like q lubricant. Exercise
sends tho blood running actively
through the veins, stirring up liver
and stomach. yitalizing the entire
system. l. 4
= Don't run to the drug store tor q
cure for every ailment.
This applies to everything from
cold cream for q muddy skin to head
ache powders and dyspepsia cures. A
two-mile tramp every day will cure
any or all Of the aforementioned
ailments more certainly than all the
bottled remedies.
Don't neglect yourself IN any way.
And by this moan that you should
examine your face carefully. es-
pecially your eyes, to Judge the con-
dition Of your health. If the whites
Of your eyes are yellowish, instead OF
blue white, If your skin is sallow, If
you look wilted instead Of vivacious
begin and improve your health at
once.

Uncle WigoiIy and the Fish Hook Bird
One afternoon, not many days from
the time when he had played cork bal
with the Wibblewobble duck children
and the clam had saved him from the
bad Sand -, Hopper Uncle Wiggil.
Longears, the old gentleman rabbit
there were woods back of the seashore
beach where he had, his hollow stump
bungalow and the forest. was very
nice place in which to take walk.
You might come with me-" said
the old gentleman rabbit to Lulu and
Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble, as
he stood leaning on his red, white and
blue striped barber pole rheumatism
crutch wondering if he would ever be
able to get along without it.
Are there any things to see in the
woods?" asked Jimmie.
Yes, and to hear, ALSO" replied his
uncle. Il never heard so many differ
ent kinds of birds as there are in the
woods. Some sing beautiful songs and
some utter cries, -~. -..-
why, there is one bird that calls
out all the while: Pine needles!
Pine needlesr :" said the old rabbit
gentleman. ~
Really, Uncle Wiggily?'' asked
Alice, looking to see il her dress were
properly hanging down in back. .a5
"Treally and ruly truly replied the
rabbit gentleman. And there is an
other bird who cries like cat-that's
a catbird, of course. And then there
is the flsh-hook bird" ...
What is a f1sh-hook bird?' asked
Jimmie. rs it one that goes fishing?'
"No," replied Mr.. Longears. 1T is
one that cries 'Fish-hook! Fish-hook!
all the while You shall hear him."
Really" asked Lulu. -..~-r-
"Ruly and freely ruly," replied her
rabbit uncle with smile. Come on"
is there any place where you can
get salt water taffy in the woods?" in
quired Alice. Mind you, Uncle Wig
gily,' she made haste to add, 81 didn't
ask you for any, honestly; for mamma
asked If there was a place where we
could get any. for l might find five
cents, you know. Pm not saying for
sure; but maybe"
Uncle Wiggily laughed. ..
o. i don [ know That there is any place
in the woods where they sell salt
water taffy," he replied. land so we
had better take some along with us.
Jimmie, you run and get three bags

But didn't ask you, did -" in
quired Alice anxiously.
NO. replied Uncle Wiggily, with
another laugh "You didn't ask me-"
Well, as soon as Jimmie came back
with the taffy they started scr the
woods and soon they were there. Oh,
1t was very cool and pleasant under the
pine trees, with the birds flying here
and there, and the red squirrels run
ming up and down the tree trunk. And,
surely enough, the duck children heard
the catbird cry "Mew: Mew!' and the
other bird cried pine needles! Pine
