began, remembering Virginia's i'm

Mason.
But Envy wouldn't be refused.
She urged and pleaded and insisted,
and finally in sort OF whirl Of dis
comfort, 1 found myself arranging
that she and Sheldon should join
forces with US.

her well-bred but icy nod to Envy.
but things CONCEALED again when
Sheldon begged Virginia to come
in his car. and with an aloof air
she declined.
OF course he felt terribly snubbed.
since he couldn't know what il was
Envy she was avoiding and not him.
To cover his discontinue, he asked
Terry to spare him a passenger or
two-"young Neal now and Miss
Phoebe, for instance"
Phoebe and Neal were overjoyed,
and a CLEAN of pleasure came into
Evvy's narrowed eyes, but the spark
didn't last long, for now Virginia
turned to Terry and from him to
Sheldon.
"Oh, dear Captain Winston, since
you aren't the stickler for formal
ity I've learned to believe all you
dears English to be, will you help
me make amends to Mr.. Blake for
my curt refusal of his invitation
and release me. along with these
children. to chaperone the big gray
carr"
This meant Virginia was going
to keep Neal and Phoebe under her
watchful eye-but it threw Envy
out in a cold world. Smoothly,
though with high color that meant
annoyance, she turned to Virginia.
"If you've quite decided. Mrs.
Daltoa-perhaps I'm safe to plan
to be with my dear Amer
II hadn't been so sorry for Evvy
I might have been annoyed at her
appropriating me as her "dear

a more annoying appropriation fol-
lowed when we picked Jim up.
Envy turned to him with a wistfuI
sweetness I'm sure no man could
have resisted.

returned the Eternal Masculine.
In another moment Evvy was
nestled up 10 Jim, and exclaimed,
with little air OF confiding-

drivers seat, where Betty and
Terry rode side by side, seemed
very far away.
Jim and Envy drew closer

away and sat erect-aIert, vibratr

spoke loud enough for me to hear:
'T'l1 follow your hunch, Evvy.

Puss i'm Boots

By David Cory.

Well. it didn't rain very long in
the last story, so little Puss Junior
and the stork folded up the Jap
anese parasol and looked about
them. And not very far away they
saw a little green island with lots
Of palm trees and q nice white
beach

Puss. So the stork steered the boat
up to the beach. and then they both
jumped out Maybe it's a desert
island" said Puss.
"oh, no." replied the great white
stork, 'ifs a coral island. Perhaps
Wen find some lovely coral neck
laces If we look about"
But they didn't, and then they
looked into the deep clear water
and saw the pink and white cor..
growing like flowers at the bottom.
"But how does the coral grow
into an iSIand?" asked little Puss
Junior.
"Why, the coral insect fastens IT'S
little body to some rock under the
water, way down deep. and by and
by part of it's body turns to stone.
And there are thousands OF these
little coral insects, and by and by,
they keep on building until the
coral bed comes right out Of the
water" - -.---- .-.--...
You're a very wise bird" said
Puss
"I'n tell you some more" said the
stork, who seemed very pleased at

'I see cocoanuts growing on the

he and Puss went UP to the palm
grove, and. would you believe it?
Puss threw q stone up into one OF
the trees and knocked OF 4 cocoa
nut
And just then a pretty parrakeet
flew down from a palm tree. He
had a blue head, a green breast and
scarlet wings.
"Cawk! cawk caw-rr-r! What are

"Come, come, Mr.. Parrskeet," said
the big white Stork. Don't be dis

the parrakeet that he gave PUss q

TITO Ssuit' sixteen is often n

sixteen" is such an awk-
ward age for most girls
Whether you are too painfully thin
or pleasingly plump. or whether
you are afraid you will never stop
growing tall, or perhaps that you
will always remain tres petite"
there is a style suitable for every
type.
It Is not economical or wise to
lavish too much expense on clothes
while a girl is still growing. How

vest or waist coat. For remodel
ing last years suit, this is an ex-
cellent model TO choose.
To compare favorably with the
slim silhouette OF the season take
in" the skirt OF your old suit until
it measures about a yard and half
at the bottom. A simple two-piece
skirt, showing a few gathers
across the back and a narrow belt
style for advanced fashions.
Very demure and girlish is the
box coat to this suit, with set-in
waist. To copy this, cut a deep
square yoke from the front OF the
coat ard also from below the waist
line. This will leave a bridge" OF
the material about five or six
inches wide. From the sand color
velour cut a waistcOat, pointed and
featuring a convertible collar and
small reVers at the neck. Set the
vest into the velvet coat. a narrow
velvet belt. fastened in front with
a cut steel buckle, completes this
6emuTe suit.
Fur vests add warmth to the win
ter suit, and are cut on the same
lines as the velour aud duvetyn
wsistcoats. Soft gray squirrel was
n charming addition to a black vel
vet suit. and ran rival with cosey
brown beaver on a deep burgundy
vclveteen.
Last years broadcloth or Gabar-
dine suit may be comforted at the
suggestion OF a fur collar and cuffs
and n new sash for good measure.
