That evening she put on her hat and pretty
new coat and took her slipper down and looked
ut II mournfuly Then wrapped II carefully in
paper and started out TO restore IL to It's owner.
No one could have been more surprised than
was Mr. Tompson at the return of the slipper
after year had elapsed since its disappearance.
Jane soon found herself seated comfortably
in front of coy fire while she explained TO
the delightful old gentleman Just how she had
happened 10 have the slipper Confidence fol-
lowed confidence as they talked. Mr. Tompson
told her that the slipper had belonged 10 his
wife, who had kept il az reminder Of an UNI
usually happy time in her life. After her death
he had always kept IT, too. and had been very
unhappy to think that thru the carelessness OF
a new housemaid it had been thrown away.
Then Jane told him gayIy how her family had
laughed at her for bringing it home and how
she had kept il for good luck, and how it really
had brought her some. From that she went
on TO tell him of her work and before She knew
il she had told him about her wish TO take
course at business college
A few days later Mr. Tompson called on her
mother and asked permission to pay for the
desired course. and stated his case so nicely
that she was obliged to consent realizing what
il would mean TO Jane.
And Jane when her employer had crowned
her happiness By telling her that a position
would be open fof her as soon US she graduated

ANCIENT ROMANS HAD DOLLS

MANY of our little girl friends received dolls
for Christmas presents. II might interest them
TO know the history of the doll which dates
back TO the days of the anclents.
There is a pretty legend to the effect that
dolls we're first recognized in the branches OF
the trees of the Garden Of Eden The earliest
authentic records however. seem to 90 back to
the DAYS of the Romans. when they made
quaint Sphinx-like, Iointed dolls from IVORY
patterns which modern dolmakers have since
copied.
That the Roman children had their dolls
which they offered up 10 Venus when they
grew older. was vouched for on one occasion by
the historian McCaulay.
There is ample evidence that the use OF dolls
as an assistance TO the operations OF the young
mind dates from the most remote times. Among
the native tribes of Africa il was the custom
of a married woman TO carry a doll with her
until they had a child, when the doll was dis
carded
Kings were won't TO play with dolls, and talk
ing and walking dolls, which even today are
regarded as novelties, date back a century. Al
a French exhibition held in 1928 dolls which
could say Papa" and Mamma" were exhibited,
and three years later dolls which could walk
were shown in the shops. 1t was about the
same time that dolls added to their many ac-
complishments the power TO open and close
their ewes.

yet thought nothing could be much

the apologetic kind of smile which

rising up to expound to you case
that is so puerilely clear. II is, OF
course, an insult both to your In
telligence and to mine, but the
forms OF law require that | should
do So"
And as he laid the evidence be-
fore them, with that clarity which,
suppose. long practice makes
easy, II did seem to establish his
case quite beyond possible debate.

very purpose OF meeting her.! Who
denies that either! But for any
such fact as that Captain Wharf
was In any way concerned In her
murder. as that he laid a hand
upon her, or even as that he so
much as saw her that night, the
prosecution has not produced
single little or jot OF evidence.
my client has given you a per
fectly reasonable and coherent ac-
count Of his actual doings on that
night. and the prosecution has not
been able to pick hole or find a
flaw In his narrative. II all hangs
together: II has the obvious i'm
press OF simplicity and truth.
Whereas, on the~other hand, com.
