The bean seldom appears on the

been reduced to its essences and
put up in the form OF bean curd. or

tl| AXES ALIVE" exclaimed
the farmer, who, you re-
member, in the last story
was sitting on the rear
seat of the automobile which had
frightened the gray mare The
wimen has now the upper hand"
And then his daughter, so rosy and
fair, smiled at Puss and the old
gray mare, but she smiled still
more at the gay chauffeur who had
gallantly rescued her daddy and
her.
Now L meant to put these lines
in verse form, but my typewriter
wouldn't stop to do 1T, so you will
have to read them over IL they
don't rhyme properly until you find
out just where the rhymes come
in.
Well, as this jolly party in the
automobile drove into the town the
parade was coming down the main
street and pretty soon IL stopped
and the speeches commenced.
The farmer and the chauffeur
stayed to listen, and so did the old
gray mare for she was still tied by
her halter TO tho rear of the auto
mobile, but Puss Junior and the
daughter so rosy and fair went into
a candy shop to buy some sweets
and missed all the speeches. But
they didn't care, for. they took an
ice cream soda
And after that they came back to
the automobile and united the gray
mare, for the chauffeur ssId he
must leave them, as he had to take
his mistress shopping.
Then the farmer bought Soma
seeds for his farm and by this tim-
II was time to go home "Come
along with U.S." said the daughter
SO rosy and fair. and then Puss
climbed up behind and tho gray
marc never complained a bit, al
though she had a pretty heavy load
with the ia rae and his daughter
and little Fuss Junior.
Well, she trotted along, and as
no automobile came along and no
raven cried croak. she didn't fall
down and break her crown mean
her knee. ] must have been think
ing OF Jack and Jill when said
that, l Euess-and by and by they
reached the farm.
Puss remembered it all SO we'll

garden and tho sunflower along
the kitchen garden fence, and tho
honeysucklf on the front porch and
the morning giories around the back
door.
And, oh, you know what a dear
old comfortable farm looks like.
don't you? It's a lovely place to
come home to at night when the
sun is going down beyond the
western hills and the first faint
evening star is coming up over the
damp meadows and all the air is
still except for a twitter here and
there from the trees or a distant
crow of some barnyard roster who
is saying goodnight to the friendly
sun.
And now. little children, good
night for in the next story Il will
be morning and Puss Junior will be
getting out OF bed.

The older girl sprang from the

"I had hardly expected as coarse
a question as that from you, Milly.

he writes to you on the sly, then
he meets you clandestinely-and

il he might see me alone this after
noon. He wanted me to tell him
frankly il there was a chance for

ask you to wait for him until he
was able to marry you"
She had poured out her words in
an angry torrent, and now stopped,
breathless. Mildred sat up straight.
"And you?" she asked eagerly.

"I said that if a girl loved a man

job. Why? Margaret can't guess.
She sees many other girls with less
experience eventually land in some
satisfactory place, but she unlucky.
So she says.

but follows the form of a letter of
application she found in a text
book Only she copies it literally,
She rarely ever varies her letters
of application, and no doubt they
are just like hundreds of others
that fhe firm gets.
When she calls somewhere TO
apply in person for a job she is
never particular about calling on
time. If she is supposed to call at
2 o'clock she will surely be there
at 1850. But never before. She gives
as her excuse that there will be
dozens of girls there. anyhow, and
there's no use waiting in the Of

have that extra sleep home.
Her whole attitude toward get

Sometimes she pins her faith in
employment agencies for brief
period. Then she spends her morn

calls are offered her. But in tho
afternoon. in order to make UP for
the mornings disappointments, she

And finally. Margarets a bit
fastidious about jobs. She won't
work in any establishment that
does not have a lcnlent attitude on
the subject Of hours. She won't
punch a time clock. She wont
work under a woman She won't
work where there arc many other
girls.
In her minds eye She has visions
of an ideal job that She means to
secure some day. She will be "im-

to come in at any hour of tho
morning without reprimand, and
take days off whenever she feels
like it without having to account
for herself. Her salary, of course,
will be larger than that enjoyed by
any OF her girl friends. She will be

Margaret's case is extreme. There
aren't many girls who have so much
trouble getting a job, because there
aren't so many girls with SO many

have only one or two.
