Puss in Boots
Jr.
BY David CorH,

Y IOU remember in the last story
how Puss Junior. on his good
gray horse, came acroa8
Taffy in his broken automobile and
, how the blaekbird had sung new
Mother Goose melody. Wen, as our
little hero continued his journey
he passed q pretty cottage near the
roadway.
And the roses that climbed over
the front porch were so fragrant
and the voice of the girl that ioat-
ed through the open window Was
so sweet, that he pulled up his
horse to listen to the song.
Bobby Shafto's gone to ny
With silver goggles on each eye.
Oh. what a lonely girl am
For pretty Bobby Shafto.
Bobby Shafto's bright and fair,
Very gay and debonair,
He's the King Man Of the air,
BOnny Bobby Shafto.
His airship is the fastest Ons
That races with the golden sum-
Pretty Bobby Shafto.
He's promised he viii marry me-,
And then how happy I shall be-
We two will sail the starry sea,
I and Bobby Shafto.
And then the pretty owner Of
the lovely voice looked out or the
window. and when she saw Puss she
a.
the front porch and she could give
him some cream. And so Puss tied
his good gray horse to the hitch
ing post and opened the little gate
and sat down on the doorstep to
wait for her TO come out with the
cream. which she did in a few
minutes.
And then she asked Puss 70 tell
her where he was going with his
lovely red-topped boots and long
feather plume. And she also asked
him to take out his sword and
show IL to her. and this made him
very proud, and, OF course, be
thought she was a lovely little
girl.
Well, after a while they spied an
airship in the sky, and pretty soon
il came nearer and nearer till fin
ally u landed in a field close BY.
And the little girl was there Just
in time, and so was Puss, for they
had run as fast as they could across
the road and through the fence.
And then she threw her Arms
around Bobby Shafto, for you must
have guessed by this time whose
airship IL was, and he took on his
silver goggles and shook hands
with Puss. and then they all came
back to the little cottage and had
some ice cream and sponge cake.
and Bobby Shafto fed the good gray
horse with a quart Of oats. and af-
ter that Puss said good-by and rods
away.

possible employer. Naturally, it is
out of the question for me to recon-
mend to possible employers women
whose qualifications know nothing
OF.
There is today an excellent
source of help to those seeking a
job-the United States Employment
Service, which now has branches in
every large city in the city Union.
In addition, there are the news
paper columns which always con-
tain advertisements for help.
But it is in the obtaining of un-
usual posts that women so often
expect to be handed something at
tractive. When I write of execu-
tive jobs-like managing women,
doing welfare work, etc.-there are
invariably a number of women who
write assuring me that they arc
just built for such a high type job
and will please give them the
name and address OF the firm who
needs this help?
Generally they have no previous
experience or turning for the work,
but are possessed or sublime con-
viction that they are fitted for. st.
Like the boy who was asked TO
play the violin and said he'd never
done ii, but could try!
These unusual jobs require. ftrst.
training, il previous experience is
lacking. Then you can ascertain
a source of employment from such
agencies as Government bureaus,
intercollegiate employment bu-
reaus, local advertisements, or you
can adopt the more lengthy. but
possibly creative, method Of in
vestigating all the big concerns in
your locality to see where unusual
service is required.
Any business question-except
the names OF employers or an
anonymous query-I shall try %
answer for any reader.

that would be splendid, If you'll les

piled Father Andrew with the fine,
old-fashioned courtesy that makes
me proud OF him even when he's
saying "ain't' and using the wrong
knife or fork. "And elders the

We drank the toast standing AS
Phoebe lifted her glass the hand
that bore the circlet shook, and the
d. amber liquid spilled down the front
OF her pretty blue geOrgette dress.
She lifted miserable eyes to Vir-
ginia-and Virginia, leaning for
ward, her eyes narrowing tensely,
looked hard at Phoebe's hand. But
she said nothing.
I would have given q great deal to
read the expression hidden behind
her lowered lids.
A Sad Mistake.
After that the dinner progressed
smoothly enough, until suddenly.
Father Andrew, leaning across the
table, addressed Virginia, for whom
he seemed to have grave regard
and respect In each hand he had
an implement OF eating-a knife
clutched in one, in the other a fork.
Virginia returned his regard pleas
antly enough-but I wondered IL
she was too much OF a snob to see
how wonderfully fine and true my
dear adopted father was.

w THEN the thermometer drops
" below zero the lakes and
w skating ponds are crowded
with bright-eyed boys and girls,
all enjoying the great outdoor
sport. And OF all the sports in
winter what is more healthfUl than
skating? But TO get the full bene-
fit from the exercise one must be
comfortably dressed.
The ideal costume must be warm
yet lightweight and should allow
plenty Of freedom of motion. Many
practical models Of this kind are
shown this winter for skating
A splendid suit for outdoors is
one OF tweed, simply made and
without pleats, which require con-
slant attention to look well. The
Scotch mixtures with a pebbly sur
face show a pleasant intermingling
of colOrs and have excellent wear
ing qualities.
Skirts featuring the slim sill
houette are fashions latest fancies,
but 10 be practical for skating they
may be bUttoned either at the sizes
or directly down the back. Three or
four buttons may be left Unfastened
to insure freedom OF motion.
Tweed jackets in the popular mill
itary style look well, with this skirt.
Two patch pockets above the belt
and two below give jaUnty look to
this sport coat and remind one Of
the smart costume worn by the
Woman's Motor Corps.
Knitted wooden Scarfs and caps
find a warm welcome for outdoor
wear and lend d smart touch to
conservative tweed suit. The new
est cOloTs for these sets include vic
tory rose and the three shades Of
blue called Alpine, PoiIu and Blue
Devil.
Among the other suits designed
for mid-winter sports are those Of
velour. pompom, burella cloth and
Cheviot. One good-looking model,
embOdying the latest lines, was
made with a box coat. These new
coats are rapidly gaining favor with
fastidiOus women, perhaps because
Of their unusual style. Fitting
close up against the throat they
fall away. from the figure to hip
length and open over a gay-colored
vestee.
A suit Of velours du Iaine in a
rich prune shade had a vest Of bis
cult coIoFed broadCloth set in the
front and fastened with tiny brass
buttons. The neck and sleeves were
fur trimmed to insure warmth and
there was smart cap to match the
suit.
