If he needed help she would throw him
one or two Of her quilts with which to
attack the enemy
He soon saw that the bees had left and
that the lanterns lay just ms they had fall
en- the night before. and best Of all there
was still enough food scattered about
"a make n very respectable meal.
Mr. Terrapin turned around to call
out the good news when something he
saw scared him so he could not say q word
for out of a dim corner there cane =
hoarso grurt followed by the swapping
OF something that sounded like horny
beak
Poor Mr.. Tarrapin felt sure his last
hour had come Still he looked with fright
cucd eyes toward the corner from which
the sound had come and there he saw
Ar Turkv Bu7zard finishing what Mr..
Fox had left Of his nice fat goose
"If ! let them know am afraid
he thought, they will all run away and
leave me TO my fate. SO he decided at
once 10 use a little cunning and while
Mr. Buzzard looked az him with eyes Of
cold dlstain, Mir Tcrrapln called 70 those
outside
Come on in folks. he said in pleas
antly inviting volco YOU ought to soc all
there is left % cat nuts and apples and
dried corn and goose
But he told no more for there WAS q
great rush Of feet IS the -Four Paws tired

MIR Fox landed in tho cave with eyes
that fairly bored holes IN the wall trylr z

in possession OF IL
Mr. Buzzard merely blinkod his cold
ewes and then blinkcd again, while Mr.
Fox stood frozen u the spot one foot
still raised ard lie never knew he was
standiI on only three legs
But MIR Fox was il willy animal and
his natural cunning soon returned tie
knew there was no use trying TO scare
Mr. Buzzard, who was big bird and
had very strong claws for holding on TO
his food
So he began 10 talk very pleasantly
70 him Mr. Buzzsrd he said, st
was surely kind OF you TO come here
in tins untidy room 70 help clean up.
We left rather in n hurry last night
and did not stop to put things III order :
Now Mr. Buszard had 10 such idea

he had somehow discovered even from
the high place in the air where he spends
most of ms time.

THE FOUR PAWS CLUB.
Part VI

The next day after the unfortunate affair
with the bees a special meeting was called
which wis held outside the cave, and
volunteers were asked to 90 inside and
find out il the coast was clear. and also
how much of the feast had been left
after the hasty retreat OF the night be-
fore.
Nobody seemed anxious to do this
not even Mr.. Bear. who had been the
cause of it all He declared that he had
a bone in his foot and could not run II
the bees attacked him.
Mr.. Wolf seemed to doubt what Mr..
Bear had said, and remarked that he WAS
sure the bone part was what his head
was made Of, and that not much space
had been left for brains.
OF course he never would have been
so r,nic To Mr.. Bear, only Mr.. Wolf was
feeling peevish over the way the feast
ended But Mr. Fox smoothed matters by
saving that everybody ought TO forget
the disappointment of the night before
and try to be agreeable, and when Mr..
Tcrrapin came forward and offered to
20 into the cave everyone looked plenscd.
Mr.. Tcrrapn said he was not afraid OF
any bee that ever buzsed, and he would
like to see one of them sting hun through
his horny coat, and MS for his head, he
could just draw it in under his jacket.
Every body watched anxiously IA he

The man or woman who runs lunch
room or restaurant will usually tell you
YOU can't hope To make n siccess if YOU
take the trouble To figure your per capita
cost For instance in the lunch room wher
n table d hote lunch is served Mt stated
price you must figure exactly how much
your overhead expenses are and this
you must divide by tho number of people
who usually como for lunch and then from
this per capita overhead you may have
some definite idea of how much you may
spend per capita on food If you are TO
have tho entire expense per capita como
within the arnc unit you receive for lunch
The boarding house keeper who makes
n real SUCCESS usually has To figure out her
per capita costs per meal. She must know
about how much she can spend for each
meal and she must keep within It. II il
better always 10 use approximately the
amount she can afford than TO skfnp one
meal to spurge the noxt
And the housewife should know about
how much she can afford To spend for
every meal. Sometimes IL is oven help
ful TO have certain 81 III laid aside for
food each day and 20 make n point Of
keeping within this But there is no special
advantage of keeping much within it

whom she can plan meal within tho

saved, or II she has saved enough abe stops
at the ice cream shop and has a treat be-

But this is foolish management II
you can afford certain amount it should

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

The registering man asked me num-
Der OF personal questions IN loud an
tagonizing tone such as where do | live
and how long have | lived there, as if
that had anything to do with it, but
merely answered hun quietly and looked
him right in the eye with kind Of refined
knocking expression to make him feel
small IN comparison.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB

FILMS AND FORTUNE.

We all know about the astonishing
salaries given to certain film actresses, and
how, once in q week Of Sundays, some girl
walks in from the little village green and
gets big plum from this wonderful film
tree
And every month there are hundreds Of
girls who go back home, after hanglT <
around the studios for as lorg as their
money holds out, and sometimes lor ger,
and who wish they had never heard the
word movie in all their lives. But We don t
hear so much of the failures, and so when
we think that we have unguossed genius
in us for picture acting, of we 60 to try
our luck
But there are other ways 70 make a
good income with the motion pictures than
by acting for them. Take the career OF
4Siiss Ida May Park. Sh, is one of thu very
few women who have made good as dlrec-
tors And she believes that there Is excel
lent opportunity for other women in be-
coming assistant directors.
The movies are run largely for women,
she says, land more and more the men on
top are coming to SEQ that the woman's
point of view as to what pleases women is
Of value 1t appears to me that before long
there will be woman helping in the direct
ing Of every important films. 1t Is up to
women who have a talent in this line to
come forward"
There is also room or women in design
ing costumes for tho film. And Of course
women are wanted to write scenarios. Not
enough women are doing good work in
this direction. As the films continue to
improve, women will turn more to the
writing of really good stories for their
use There is big money in it, and as far
as can lie seen, the films are only in their
beginni, G. A giants beginning, to be
sure but with undreamed room for growth
Like anything great, it is hard work,
application, good solid traipir and in
itiative that count here. Much is to be
done in films for children. This opportun-
ity remains practically untouched, be
cause no one with sufficient imagiuatio
and push has yet taken il seriously Women
ought to be particularly interested both
in writing and producer G such films.
One of the best ways to get far in film
work is to begin in some small position
where you can study tho whole subject
thoroughly. AS a dresser you would be
brought in close contact with the whole
situation. If you banker for a film fortune
get in at the bottom and learn the ropes

It's all very well to say that n girl should
hold her honor higher than her life, and
that she should starvo aud freeze rather
than deviate stop from the straight and
narrow path. No doubt there is an
occasioal woman of high and horioe mould
who does sacrifice her life TO her idea
But most of Us are pretty poor, weak,
wavering creatures, and when we got
cold ard hungry and discouraged, we are
nothing but n bunch of animal appetites,
clamorir to be satisfied, and it il then
that we forget our high ethical standards,
and sell out for mess of pottage. There
fore 1T Is not enough for parents TO wrap
the thought about them that their pure
and innocent little girls would never do
anything that wasn't grand and noble,
and ladylike. Nobody can tell what they
would do until they are tested and the
thiI & for fathers and mothers to do is TO
build the stror gest wall they can between
their girls ard temptation.
They can best do this by teaching the
girls how to make an horest and respect
able living, 30 that they will never be
forced to earn their support by nefarious
means. For, In ninety-ninc cases out OF a
hundred, the downward way IL the chosen
way to those who know no other way.
The girl who cannot earn her own bread
and butter, who cannot make the money
TO pay for her own clothes, or provide her
with the amusement that her youth Graves
is the predestincd victim OF any con-
sciousleSs man who comes along. Some
way she must live. Some way she must
get the things she desires, and the only
way she can do this is TO wheede out OF
men, for the only work that woman can do
But for all that woman gets from man,
she pays the price, the bitter price OF those
who must sell themselves in the market
place because they have nothi pg else to
sell
On the other hand, the very knowledge
that she can stand on her own feet that
with her own brains and hands she can
fight her own battle of life, that she Is
financially independent and reed look TO
no man for help, encases a Girl IN an armor
that makes her bomb-prooi against temp
tation,
There are no other girls in the world SO
capable of taking care of themselves ~
business girls They are neither thieves
nor vamps. They do not have to get their
hvlrg that way.
lt ism { enough for parents TO think that
they protect their daughters if they leave
them little money Money is the hardest
of all things to hold. Especially does II
run through the fl gers Of feminine har DIS,
like water through sieve. 1t lsu enough
for fathers and mothers to trust 10 luck
TO their daughters marryij &. Husbai dis
are not always forthcOmn &, and even
when they arc, they often die leaving their
widows pennies
Girls must be given that within thems-
selves that nothing can take from them.
They must be taught how TO support
themselves II they are to be kept safe,
