WHEN GRADUATION TIME COMES.

The season of graduation exercises is
coming around again by and by, and 1t Is
an easier matter for you if you plan for IT
now. For YOU can save good deal OF
money on graduation gifts if you get them
together ahead of time instead of waiting
until the last minute and then buying
them all in hurry.
OF course it may be that you haven't
many 10 buy-that YOU wont have, that
is. On the other hand, most OF US know at
least one young boy or young girl who Is
graduating each year. Fortunately gifts
TO bov graduates are less usual than those
TO girls. For suitable gifts arc more diff
cult 10 find Books, pcn-knives. scarf
pins and cuff buttons-these can all be
safely chosen for the boys one knows well
enough TO give eat graduation time.
For girls, the choice is much wider if
pocket book capacities are unlimited II is
not so difficult For there are fans and
shoulder scarfs, sashes, haDGkerchiefs,
books, pictures toilet articles, tea-table
fittings. handbags, purses and card cases.
And then there are flowers.
Alter all, perhaps flowers are as lovely
as anything else. They are frightfully ex-
pensive now, though in a couple of months
they wont cost so much. And then, If
YOU have garden, you can get them there,
and put them in pretty basket and so
make gift that is as charming as anything
else could possibly be. Buy basket of
lasting value-one of those lovely maho-
gany colored Japanese baskets is good
choice and then fill it with sweet briar
or tea roses or iris or anything else that is
blooming in June In your garden
Handkcrchiefs are always most use
ful and appropriate gifts. One that is
hand made will be appreciated by its
recipient. Half dozen hemstitched
handkerchiefs, marked with letter or a
little wreath or spray of flowers, can be
made for moderately small cost and will
be lovely. A square OF sheer linen may be
picot-edged with color or with white
thread to produce another pretty effect

MRS. WEBFOOT MOVES.

Mrs Webfoot was cross old creature,
so when she took up herabode IN Mr..
Dogs house and just refused TO move her
next Mr.. Dog had to let her stay there.
MY children are a great deal more
important than you, Mr.. Dog said Mrs
Webfoot, when Mr. Dog said he did not
have anywhere TO live.
'You can crawl in anywhere" re-
piled Mrs. Webfoot, "snd ! just must
have this house all to myself TO bring up
my family in, so run along and do not
bother me.
MIR. Dog hung around for some time
but il was of no use, for Mrs. Webfoot
had sharp bill and could nip with II
as well as make n noise

Mr.. Dog had to crawl in beside Mr.

So Mrs Webioot slept in the doghouse
and Mr.. Dog slept IN the stall, and all
the time MIR Fox was coming closer and
closer TO the farm. looking for Mrs. Web
foot for his breakfast
He came in the barnyard and was
crawling very carefully past the house
of A1r. Dog when-suddenly his keen nos
trils caught the scent. and he quickly
poked his head in, and there was Mrs.
Webfoot fast asleep on her nest.
My exclaimed Mr. Fox, this is
really too easy and then he reached
for Mrs. Webfoot, who awoke, you may
be sure, with "a loud cry of alarm.
Mr. Dog heard her and jumped up,
running to the door, but ii was locked,
and all the time Mrs. Webfoot's cries
were louder.
Mr.. Dog knew what the CRY meant
and he made q leap to the top of barrel
which stood in front of the barn window,
and through the glass he crashed and was
out in the yard and after Mr.. Fox.
He caught him. too, or al least he made
him drop poor crying Mrs. Nebfoot, who
jumped up and ran for home as fast as
her waddles would take her
The next day she meekly SAID TO Mr..
Dog that she had decided that his place
was in the doghouse, where he could
keep an eye on things, and not in the
barn with the door locked.
Mr. Dog, being very wise, did not
say anything but he laughed as he turned
around three times before taking his
MONDAY nap, for he knew quite well
that Mrs. Webfoot would never again
drive him out of his home.
One night in place so handy for Mr..

she was better off in the poultry house

MIR. FOX'S TROUBLES.

MIR. Fox sat by the IRE smoking There
was an angry look in his eyes. for the
squirrel brothers, Billy and Tim, had
bothered him much this fall by throwing
nuts that were worny down his chimney.
In fact, they had filed his stovepipe
so it would not draw, and MIR Fox had
worked all night clearing it out.
''lt is impossible to catch the rascals =
said Mr.. Fox. II shall have to think Of
some other way than whipping them, but
! should Iik to just get my hands on them

But it was not the Squirrel brothers; it
was MIR. Bear. Mr.. Fox had thought he
was in bed for his winter nap, but he had
decided to stay up little later this year
than usual.
He trudged along the path until he
came to the plank, and before Mr.. Fox
could shout warning, on the plank step

That was not the worst OF il. Along

Lawrence Mariowe, too, was 20 play
a part in Alice's development. but more
important part than most of the Others
the girl met AS is the case with most
friendships which begin with more than
personal attraction as basis, the feeling
OF frlendliness became very warm and
very real
II had started when Lawrence noticed
the book Alice was carving.
Now. most of the girls he knew had no
more serious purpose IN life than 10 look
charming and 10 marry well. Some
went in for society, some for domestic
life, many Of them were very well educai-
ed and cultured, but none of them were to
be met on the street carrying large volumes
of chemistry or any such subject This fact
lifted Alice up from the average girls be

she was an interesting individual
Lawrence developed a sudden interest
In the settlement house in Shanty-town
His position in his fathers Office gave him
plenty of leisure, and life in Pennington
offered few enough diversions

Later he found the transformation that

TO watea. Still later, the dark, eager
faced children Of the quarter caught his
eye. vi after time he learned that the
afternoons he enjoyed most we're the
ones when he worked under the direction
o. lice Fairbanks.
One blowy afternoon IN March. Alice
put away 3 paint brush and can with a
little tired sigh, and went out to tho
kitchen to clean the stains fr4ao Icr hands
Almost I'll the no was finished Glasses
were to start tlc next week Lawrence
who had been playing the vietrola IN the
front room and dancing with frivolous
minded helper, came out as Alice was put
ting on her coat.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-03-27

'Tll walk along with you, if you don :
mind, he suggested. Alice gave him the
frank. comradely smile he liked so much,
and they started out together
you're most 1wfully competent,
he said as they started on thepath through
the vacant fields where did you learn
how to do so many things?

You can sew curtains, tack carpet, make

Don't laugh at me, Alice begged
though she turned and laughed OF him as
she spoke.
'Im not. upon my hone4," Lawrence
had slight and not unplensfng drawl.

I'm to transform these vacant lots in
flourishing gardens, and keep model

all these folks can see how it's done. Be-
sides, have a garden at my own home.

it. And you expect to doa that--and
study chemistry
I'm discouraged about that, ,Allce

without help and without labratorv work. p"
"Set up little labratory in your
cellar" Lawrence suggested. The first
years work is perfectly simple.
"But all the apparatus. and the chemi-
cals-they sound expensive, and I'm
not millionaire" Alice said with her
usual frankncss.
