'Dr. Ellison invited us over to play

Yes, indeed; anything for a

Marian ran after him, saying: Dad
dy, wait minute. Did l understand
that you and-that woman were going
out this evening
Yes" said Jacob YEARLY. "Why ."
Can l have some of the girls in for

"Oh, Topper, is always ready to do
anything l want her to-" Marian
smiled gaily into his troubled face.
Don't you know you make things
very hard for me when you forget
yourself as you did this noon?" con-
tinued her father as they walk ed

Now you need not expect me to

and she squeezed his arm.
IF she does it again why don't you
propose that we have an experience
meeting and each tell the others what
we think is wrong with them. Maybe

passed over Jacobs face.
Remember, you can help most by

to help, Marian. Isn't it so?"

Dinner Stories.

A well-known Scottish architect was
travelling in Palestine recently when
news reached him of an addition to his
family circle. The happy father imme-
diately provided himself with some
water from the Jordan to carry home
for the christening of the infant and
returned to Scotland
On the Sunday appointed for the
ceremony he duly presented himself
at the church. and sought out the
beadle in order to hand over the pre-
cious water to his care. He pulled the
flask from his pocket, but the beadle
held up a warning hand and came
nearer to whisper:

wv HEN the robins came north

summer vacation among the ice

talk to them. go ahead and build

say over his left shoulder. I'm
coming back in the fall and I'll blow

But the robins didn't mind his
rudeness-not they! They only
laughed and chartered among them
selves and said to each other. "Never

behind the thickest leaves! Then
guess he won't find us!"
So the North Wind went on up

the summer grew hot, and everybody
forgot about the North Wind and his
freezing ways.
But the North Wind didn't forget
about the robins-not he! All the

anger:

ribbon on Yancsi's wrist and blue one
on Roszika's. She told the nurse never to
take off these ribbons without tying
another of the same color on us. One
day the nurse gave us a bath and she
they were lost among the towels. When
our poor mother came home she sat
down and cried. She didn't know her
babies apart. She didn't cry long, but
asked the nurse to bring fresh ribbons
from the bureau drawer. Then she knelt
down and prayed that the Lord would
help her to guess right and she tied the
pink ribbon on the one she hoped was

believed was Roszika. But she didn't

The Most famous Stage Twins
Desc In 10 Unusual Expert =
enc hat Come When One
Girl Loo-z8 Just Exactly Like Another

N twins wins And s' no once ever e @g tires OF
hearing about them. There is
something about twins that irresistibly
touches the imagination. Here are two
human beings who look alike, usually
And through curious psychological fac
tors they think alike, and even have, as
science has proved, the same kinds of
things happen to each.
The theme of twins has given us some
OF our most extraordinary bits of litera-
ture. 1t has been the soul of countless
stories and plays. Twins have played
their part in history. We even have them
in the Heavens-Castor and Polux-the
heavenly twins who move majestically
through the skies and who used to come
down and help out the Romans when they
got in tight places.
What are the joys and sorrows of being
twins? There are many when twins are
On private life, but how much these ex-
periences must be increased and intensi-
fed when the twins move out under the
spotlight. We know many of the expe-
riences of home twins, but little has ever
been told of the experiences of stage
twins-that is, twins on the stage. Every
woman longs for another self on which
her clothes can be fitted and by which
she can see exactly the effect produced
on herself. Particularly is this important
on the stage. Think Of having a real
other body on whom your clothes can
be tried.
Suppose an admirer about whom you
are doubtful thinks that he is in love with
you. How nice it would be to have some
one just like yourself sort of put the ad-
mirer through his PAGES while you sat at
a safe distance and watched. Then, If you
were satisfied the transformation could
be made without him ever knowing any
thing about it, And IL you were not salts
fed the shock of dropping him would not
be so great.
These are Just couple OF the interest
ing questions that stage twins raise.
Now, the most noted of such twins are
the Dolly Sisters-Yancsi and Roszika.
No two, 1t would seem, are better able
to throw an amusing, interesting, and at
the same time, considerably instructive
light upon the joys and sorrows OF being
twins-especiall on the stage.
And they do throw it.
I'VE are absolutely alike" 1t was
Yancs. who spoke. Yancsi wore a blue
serge suit and red hat.
Except that Yansci is little more
of a boy. She has been a tom boy ever
since I can remember Roszika was in
gray and wore mauve hat. Both
smilingly watched the goldfish in
the Japanese Garden of the Ritz Carlton"
You don't dress alike?"
''oh, no." reproved Yancsi theoretically,
