ADVENTURES
ELfsh the Ell
BY DADDY

CMILING TEACHER was giving a
~ picnic and Peggy and Billy were
going to it,
They had awakened at dawn and had
hurried early to Smiling Teacher home,
where tho children were to gather. They
were so early. in fact, that they were
the first to arrive. So they sat down
in Smiling Teachers hammock to wait
for the others. As they waited they
talked of the jolly time they expected to
have playing and feastng
Hello, Peggy! Hello, Billy!' said
the other children as they came one by
one.
Twenty three children were going
on the picnic, and at last all arrived
except two.
1--WE will be ready to start when
these two come" said Smiling Teacher.
What boys are going to help with the
baskets?"
Billy was ready to jump to take q
basket, when Hurry Up Harry stopped
him with n whisper.
''Huh II is too hot to carry those
big baskets" said Hurry-Up Harry.
Come on, Let us go ahead to the
picnic grounds. We will get out Of
working, and will have first chance at
the swings"
Hurry Up Harry got his name be-
cause he was always trying to get ahead
Of other folks. Neither Peggy nor Billy
liked him particularly we'll, and ordi-
narily would not have listened to him.
But the morning was hot and the pic
mic lunch baskets did look heavy.
1--WE ought TO help Smiling Teacher, "
said Billy doubtfully. At that moment
they were surprised to see an odd =
looking elf bob up on Hurry Up
Harry's shoulder. The elf had big
head, a round. fat body, and legs at
thin as lead pencils.
Gracious Who are you?" gasped
Peggy.
'Sh sh sh - warned the queer elf,
putting his finger on his lips. THE
others cant see me, but they might
hear you talking to me. Hide around
the corner of the house and I'll tell You
who l am"
Peggy and Billy hid around the cor
ner Of the house with Hurry Up Harry,
and the elf whispered to them:
Part of my name is Elish the Elf,"

Now we will creep away quietly

Bat these proverbs are not TO be
taken entire and AT gUlp. Consider
the old woman who kissed the COW
What GisappointaantS in other kisses,
actual or hoped for. must have lain
behind her phiIosophic acceptance Of
the cows companloEShip!
Had fate been kinder, She he'd pos

taste, If not above the kindly crit
cism of an amused smile. deserves at
least the tribute of the reminder that
she might have made q choice much
worse. But given favorable oppor-
tunity for the cultivation Of her READ
taste. she would have given boS>y q
kindly pat and bestowed her kisses
elsewhere.
As matter Of fact. tastes arc
wholly arbitrary.
People have a taste which leads
them to blend green and red, My
mother did so in her rag-carpctS.
There was 4 "stripe" which a}ternat-

never expected to hit. but whose free
combination of color made its hap
Py contrast with red and green, or
orange and blue.
Those tastes were not arbitrary.
My mother did nos, know it, but there
IS a scientific reason why the eye
loves blue in combination with or
2nge, and red in combination with
green.
Tastes vary; but they are not so
erratic as some people think. And
"a tes are capable of cultivation and
Improvement. They are not hope
lessly diverse nor incurably corrupt
When Oscar Wilde sent his craze
round the world with pale pinks and
sad yeliows ana anemic greens and
God-forsaken blues. we we'll knew
that it would not last long.
Tastes are very erratic. but
there underlies the eccentricity of
