THE NEWSPAPER MEN OF THE

In every large city of the old and

culiar society of specially trained
workers who labor through the long,
dark hours of night that the people
OF the world may know.
These workers enjoy but little of
the ordinary pleasures of life and
seldom take an active part in the
everyday social affairs of the big cit

versal society are always several

Perhaps you don't know him we'll, but

you as long as you have been SO
frank: All the girls names in town

and then every fellow In the house
hands in the name OF some girl he
would like to take. Sometimes one girl
gets a good many slips. I guess you
got some half dozen. Then the slips
are sorted out and all the fellows that
choose any one girl have to draw lots
to see which one gets her, and then
the girls that don't get any slips are
paired off with the fellows that don't
get the right slip, and, Of course, any
fellow that wants to ask an outside
girl has a chance. I was one of the
men that missed out on the slips when
we drew for you, SO ! asked girl

"Well, then, of course, she might be

Do you see? I or some other fellow

'"But don't like to dance with Dan

fool them!"
"Oh, say! This is too bad!" ex
claimed Buddy. Il was just counting
on this turnip. Isn't there any way W,
can get it,"
Il don't believe So replied sammie
| wrinkling up his nose. just as Buddy
was doing. They smelled that turnip
and it had a most delicious odor, better
to them, even, than Strawberries arc
to you.
Maybe we can throw some stones
up and knock it down." suggested
Buddy.
So they threw up stones, and, though
they hit the turnip and made it swing
back and forth like the pendulum OF
the clock, it didn't fall down and by
this time Buddy and Sammie were get
ting very hungry.
Lets try throwing sticks" proposed
Sammie. We'll toss them at the cord,
and maybe we can break It,"
So they threw sticks and though
Buddy did manage to hit the cord the
turnip didn't come down, and they
were more hungry than ever
Lets take a long pole and poke the
turnip down." said Sammie after a
while and they did so, but Buddy ac-
cidentally came within half a dozen
steps Of going too near the trap and
was almost caught. T..
"Oh, guess We'll have to give it up,
spoke Sammie, but Buddy didn't want
to, because he was very determined
and did not like to stop until he had
done what he set out to do.
So he tried every way he could
think Of, until he was all tired out,
but nothing seemed to do any good:
Then he and Sammia sat down and
looked up at that turnip, swinging over
their heads and they were SO hungry
that their tongues stuck out like a
dogs on hot day. Then, all at once,

with a dull knife. If out from the
bushes didn't pop Billie Bushytail, the

whats up?" ne asked, just like that
honestly he did. ..-..
"The turnip Isl said Buddy; Its up
high and we can't get it down.
"Ha! That's mere trifle-a mere
trifle!' cried Billie. Il will climb up
the tree, run out on the limb and
gnaw through the string. Then the
turnip will fall down to YOU
Which he did in two frisks of his tail
without any danger from the trap at
all, for that was on the ground, while
Billie was above it in the tree. So
Buddy and Sammie had the turnip
after all. And they divided it evenly,
Sammie gnawing it through with his
teeth, and each one took his half home.
Billie didn't like turnip, you see for he
would rather have chestnuts.
Now, think I'll tell you next about

isn't loyal for any other man in the
frat to encourage that girl to 60 on
snubbing members Of the frat. That's
why asked girl from home instead
Of asking you. thought maybe you
would go with me, we're such old
friends. But if you had gone with Dan
you and 1 could have seen a lot of
each other anyway. We could have
had more dances with each other than
with our own people, thought, Of
course, you would know that. It was
very rude of you to snub Dan.
But Julia was, as she said, angry
through and through and, conciliatory
though Clark was, she refused to be
soothed. AS Clark Butler thought-and
as he predicted-Julia took the next
opportunity she had to meet Dan
Brown and when Dan Brown, summon
ing all his courage, asked her second
time-Clark Butler had coached him
to this ordeal-she accepted. ,
When he called for her on the night
of the ball Dan in his clumsy way tried
to express his appreciation for her
kindness.
Il suppose you know how it is about

clark told you. You see, didn't quite
understand when I put your name

the names down of some girl we

But don't want to have lot of

didn't want to 60 with him." Then, af
ter a pause, "Is the girl from home
pretty?'
A broad smile passed over Dan
Browns freckeld face. Apparently he
recalled some instructions he had had
from Clark.
Eyes, she is regular queen. The fell
lows will be nutty about her-couldn't
help it, .. III
Julia's cheeks grew pinker and her
eyes shone with excitement.
Don't talk to me about her. know
I'll hate her. Oh, I'm just miserable

takes quite bit Of heat to make the
hair twist into a curl, for one thing,
and that dries out the oil from the
tube inside the hair, destroys the
color, encourages split ends, and
keeps the hair from growing, by vir-
tue of absorbing the oil that nour-
ishes 1t.
However, once In awhile, curling
does no harm. There Is skilled lit

Z large iron-hollow inside, heats it
and twists it about a moment till she
has it the correct temperature, tests
1t against an end Of hair, to be sure
of its heat, and starts in.
She lays it on top Of front strand
of hair, combing the hair over it with

second. Then she quickly slides the
iron under the hair an inch above the
place she used before, and combs the

she goes, first putting the hot iron on

1t, making a curl that rises and falls,
and that, when combed out, makes
soft, wavy mass all over the head.
