"Horns" exclaimed Dotty. IT never

Giegles, and he blew upon his magic
whistle and two big beetles dropped
down beside the children.
Daddy Stag Beetles head was very
wide, and his strong jaws looked some
thing like the stag horns that hung over
the fireplace in the children's home. His
feelers looked like the teeth of comb.
His head and chest were black with tins
dots on them. His wing cases were a
deep red-brown.
Mamma Stag Beetles jaws were much
smaller, and her head wasn't nearly SO
large as her husbands. She looked
rather prim in her little red-brown
dress.
Dotty gave a tiny squeai! Every one
laughed. Then Daddy Stag Beetle as

some of the exclusive Paris shops. there
are no foreign corsets that can approach

Even the cheap American corsets have
more srace of line than some of the

The basque was originally a costume

Well, here is my problem:
have Est of friends, and hold
them all very near. At party last
winter one of the boys and 1 had a
little quarrel. and we are still bad
friends. I believe 1t was his fault
because he said something I did not
think he should have said. 1 have
been nice to him and tried to over
look what happened, but he doesn't
do that, yet 1 have heard through
my chum that he would like to be
friends again. Now what would you
do about it?
Please be sure to understand that I
don't think more of this boy than the
others, but ] can't stand to be cross
at anybody, because I love to have
all my friends.
Then another thing. Do you think
from my letter that I am too young
for my age? L am very small, but
just the same I am afraid 1 will

I don't know what to sign my
name. 1 have several nicknames, but

Don't seek him, but always be friendly
