ONLY WAY ASPIRIN
SHOULD BE TAKEN
Look for name "Bayer" on tablets and
follow directions in
package.

The Bayer Company, who introduced
Aspirin, tell in their careful directions
in each package Of genuine "Bayer
Tablets of Aspirin" that to get the
best results one or two glasses Of water
should be drank after taking tablets.
"Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" to be
genuine must be marked with the
safety "Bayer Cross" Then you are
getting the world-famous Aspirin, pre-
scribed by physicians for over eighteen
years.
Each unbroken ''Bayer" package
contains proper directions for Colds,
Headache, Toothache, Earacl Neu-
ralgia, Lumbago, Rheumatl-, -Jeuri-
tbs, and for Pain generally.
Handy tin boxes of twelve tablets
cost but a few cents. Druggists also
sell larger "Bayer" packages. Aspirin

w HEN summer comes and little
Wv folks make their short, daily
voyages of discovery into the big world
about them, they will discover a NUM-
Der of things besides kittens and cook
les. There will be the new clothes that
are all ready for spring time, made to
be cool and comfortable, and to stand
wear and washing. These are in prep
aration now.
Every year the responsibility grows
less, because so much reliance may
be placed on ready-made garments for
children of all ages. There is some
economy of money in making the
clothes at home, where the item of
labor is not figured in the cost of pro-
ducing them. Even when the sewing
is undertaken at home, the RESPONSE
bility of designing need not be as
sumed. One cannot do better than to
pattern the dresses, rompers and other
things, after the garments that manu-
facturers of .children's clothes turn
out. They are all ready to be put on
display Immediately after Christmas.

looking clothes as those pictured

THERE is charm that belongs to
Il the bud and no one knows how
to interpret it SO well in clothes as the
specialists who center their minds on
this subject. Everything she wears is
as carefully thought out as if she were
quite grown up; she just cannot help
looking we'll in the things made for
her to wear on the street, for sports
or for parties.
She need not envy her older sisters
their fascinating evening gowns when
fashion grants her the privilege of
such alluring frocks for evening dress
as that shown in the picture. 1t is
all in white ard light green, white
satin making the foundation, skirt
and bodice and green tulle yelling
them. Tulie makes the short sleeves
and the very simple tunic bound with
silver braid. and cluster of silver
berries on the corsage add just the
right touch of cool brightness to set
off white and green. These berries
appear again on the tunic at the
sides. One could hardly ask more

remark credited to Prjncc rsaAio0, the
head of the Abyssinfan mission In this
country. This may be merely a bit
of oriental fattery Or 1t may be an
indication of the princes bravery. 1t

of life than pair Of silver slippers
and white silk stockings to wear with
such frock, and they are the good
fortune of the very up-to-date young
girl who is displaying her finery in
the picture.
With a foundation skirt and baby
waist of satin to build on we may
ring several changes in overdresses
and bodices for evening wear. A full
long skirt Of colored tulle and bod
ice with short pulled sleeves, finished
off with fchu and sash ends of
tulle, will challenge comparisons. Then
there are frocks with wide tucks
about the skirt, and kimono bodices,
made Of crepe georgette. Fine white
voile is lovely over color and the
accommodating designers of young
girls clothes approve of embroidery
if it is not overdone-and they use
silver and gold thread stitching. A
circlet of small flowers about the
head is always the privilege of young
girls and they are taking advantage
of it now.

SLIGHTLY Embarrassed.

A good story was told to me the

corning a maid who, quite unexpect-

This unsolicited action, her fiat de-

she'd carelessly dropped it in her ward

hours monsieur convinced himself that

way she'd lied to me about the uncle
abroad who had left them to her.
Still-it was an understandable lie !:
since she'd found the diamonds and
didn't know who owned them she felt
they belonged to her as much as if
they'd been left her in will.
Mrs. Delario herself admitted me ;
gave a gasp when she saw who it was,
and whirled me into the seance room
and locked the door On us before we
exchanged a syllable.
We sank into chairs. I felt as if a
tidal wave had swept from under me
and left me not even hanging up in a
coconut tree but sitting still in peace

down from the high peaks to the levels

"And the diamonds" Billy inter-
rupted. "I'm taking your word for
those--you didn't see fit to show 'em

eating that there might still be some
legitimate doubt as to the existence of
the stones in question, in spite of all
the adventure over them but ignored
it and went on: HE made one Slip

"Can't you think?" urged Billy.
Every little details important now.
And lordy-lord-what story, and my
SCOOP"
The reporter was romping around In
Billy's inside, determined to push the
story to a finish; while r0mping
around in my insides was my natural
caution. Why should we do anything
to warn the Emperor William? He
might deny everything and say he
never even heard of the diamonds !!
Yes, enc false step would make Billy
and me the laughingstock of diplo-
matte circles throughout the world
We must get all our proof before we
divulged the secret on which the fate
of our nation depended.
The net result of our hurried col
loquy was that we returned to the din
ing room and silently relieved the still
Borrowing monsieur Of his handouts.
Which done, Billy presented him with
leave of absence from our society in
the words:
Monsieur, you are free to CO." and
added a courtly bow.
1 bowed also. Thus we signified with
all the manners we possessed that the
interview, pleasing as it had been,
was at an end.
Our action-simple enough to us and
in line with the plan we'd just mapped
out for getting at the truth-left mon
sieur as dazed as anything we'd done;
inexplicably, we had abruptly set him
adrift, without threats or explanations
and without-the diamonds. l smiled
and said, quite as though he'd been
drinking tea with me: I'll say good
night to you, monsieur" With that, /
held out my hand.
Monsieur did not rise He did not
take my offered hand. He stared-a
really frightened, childish stare, first
at me, then at Billy. He had been dis
missed-every second he longer re-
manned marked him trespasser. Yet
he remained, glued to his chair and

ed aim. Twice he essayed it, but the
words stuck in his throat and he
looked to us to help him out.
The clock chimed the four-quarters
to nine and then the hour. Monsieur
spoke.

ton as American and I appreciate

on to tell US as man he grieved for
us; how as a would-be friend he
grieved for us; how as the emperor's

Sir: We are rejoiced that Imperfect

puts up $3.50 partnership by casting
$4,000 salary into the pot in addition
to washing the dishes.

bearer and homemaker as not putting
up $3.50 partnership. because owing
to the exigencies of the situation she
cannot add coin of the realm to the
