away the bees" yelled the bunny.
Then Beckie felt little ashamed
OF herself, and she waited for the
bunny to catch up to her. Then, as
the bees still buzzed about, Beckie
said:
Il know what TIL do, Uncle
Wlegily. I'll curl myself up in a
little round ball, as a pussy cat
ooes When she goes to sleep. I'll
cur' myself right around you. and
hide you and my nose. and my fur
80 thick and heavy that no bee
can sting through it."
Ha! I'm glad of that". said
Uncle Wiggily. So Beckie stretched
out on the ground, and curled her
self around her nose and Uncle
"iggily, and when the bees buzzed
up they couldn't find a single place
TO sting through, as Beckie's fur
was so thick.
But then, all OF a sudden the bees
began to laugh.
We didn't chase you to sting
you said the Queen Bee. I'VE only
new after you, Uncle wiggily, to
tell you that you could have all the
money you wanted, and so can
Beckle. We are tame bees, and we
wouldn't sting you for anything"
Oh, I'm glad of that" said the
bunny. Anyhow, IL you had been
wild you couldn't have stung u.s."
No" buzzed the Queen Bee. We
couldn't sting through Beckie's
thick fur. No bees could"
The little girl bear looked at the
bunny.
Il guess I don't want to go TO
the barber's," said Beckie, and the
bunnys pink nose twinkled like a
strawberry long cake as he laughed.
And II the bread knife doesn't hide
in the cake box when the carving
fork wants 1t to go TO the moving
pictures, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's white hat.

cia. Aldoncia and Adoncia are 9TH
er forms of the same name, which
occurred frequently among the Ma
varrese and Catalonian princesses
from the year 900 to 1900.
Don Quixote, it will be recalled,
translated his Aldonca Lorenzo into
the peerless Dulcinca del Tobosco
Meanwhile Dulcia was popular in
the south Of France. 1t finally be-
came Douce and was taken to Eng
land at the time OF william the
Conqueror. as Ducia- Later II was
changed to Dulce and even Dulci-
bella.
In the time OF Henry VIII. the
curious version, Dowsabel, made its
appearance and was borne by many
living women as well as by the wife
OF Dromlo. Dousie was another
popular form; the pretty widow,
Dousie Moor. was buried at New
castle in 1858. But of all the forms,
Dulcie alone persisted. Its usage
and popularity are widespread to-
day.

The Head Nurse
Says:
ON WITH THE DANCE.

Despite all the croakings snent
syncOpatiOn, jazz" and the other
prohibition substitutes, along cume
the chiropodists in annual conyen-
ton assembled and declare that jazz
will prevent flat feet. The oppon-
ents say that it favors FIAT head II
The consensus OF thoughtful opinion
is that II we build up a good physi-
cal organism. brain power is more
than likely to be increased.
To return to the chiropodists
Dancing is beneficial, they say, II
the proper shoes are worn. BY
proper" shoes they probably mean
low fiat shoes. Now, every one
knows that If there is ever a time
when women are bound to wear
high heels 1t is at a dance. As a
matter of fact, the one and only
place where a Louis heel is rendered
inocuous is while one is dancing.
The point is. are you dancing prop
erly-that is, on your toes? II so.
the heel is merely a useless append.
age and is in no way interfering
with the action of the foot muscles
Walking is a different matter.
The high heel does interfere with
the proper action of the foot and IL
worn continuously will cause the
muscle of the calf to contract to
such an extent that a natural walk
will be impossible.
On the whole, the use of fat sport
shoes part of each day with a
change to Cuban heels for street
wear; and French heels for evening
gives the foot very fine form Of
exercise.
A good rule would be to stick to
no one type of shoe but to let ones
shoes be made over different lasts,
merely making sure that in each
case there is plenty of room across
the ball of the foot. Dance correctly
and your shoes will take care of
themselves.
