people all this week. Doctor orders
that l keep out In the air as much as
possible; so took this means of COM
bning duty with pleasure"
During the remainder of the drive
to Bess apartment door Drake was
conscious that the girls queer little
personality was making its way
through the silence she maintained.
THANK you so much" she said soft
ly as she stepped from the car. 81 was
very tired tonight and appreciate your
kindness. Goodnight"
She was gone SO swiftly that Drake
hardly realized her exit from his hori-
zon. 1t was not until he had plowed
his precarlOus way a few blocks be-
yOnd that he cursed himself for not
having thought to get her address. He
had a feeling that he could get to like
Bess, but now he had lost his chance.
She was a needle in a great haystack
to him.
When Bess had climbed the three
flights of stairs to the small apart
ment and removed her coat and hat,
there was quaint little smile lowering
about her lips. She had not taken off
her fur, because IL was not on her neck
to take off. Il was in the back seat Of
young brakes car. So the little smile
stayed In Bess' eyes with persistent
happiness while she prepared nour-
ishing dinner.
Next morning she made stop on
her way to business. 1t was at the
Lost and Found" desk Of tho leading
daily paper
The advertisement rend: "Will
young man who drove three girls home
from corner Fifth avenue and Fifty
fourth street please return fur neck
piece left in carp
AS she turned away from the desk
ind started to make her way swiftly
out lest she be late, she collifed with q
young man apparently bent on tie
same business as herself.
"Oh!" gasped Bess, breath.ess from
the impact. Then. looking up, a beau
tiful flush swept her cheeks.
'So!" cried young Drake. with quite
shameless elation, 'then 1t was your
fur?" He had jumped to speedy con-
illusions seeing Bess near the Lost
and Found" desk. 81 am not sure I
would have recognized either If the
other two girls-had bumped into
them here" he added.
The implied compliment was reward
ed by lovely slow glance from the
girls eyes.
"You were going to advertise for the
Owner?" she questioned.
YES" young Drake told her, "and
I don't mind letting you know / hoped
you were that owner. l have never
had to return lost property before so
don't know how to do it," He looked
expectantly at Bess for his solution.
II would call 1t found property now,"
she said slowly, and decided then and
there that she would like knowing
young Drake much better than she al
ready did. perhaps If you have time
and still must stay out in the air you
could stop by Fifty-third street some
evening and deliver the fur. l am at
that corner every evening about 5:15."
81 have time, must stay In the air
and know you need your fur this cold
weather. If tonight Is all right will
be waiting"
ut is pretty cold" laughed Bess and
the atmosphere surrounding her smile
being anything but chilly, young Drake
knew that every evening from then on
would see him waiting at Fifty-third
street. At least all evenings until Bess
should cease to be self-suppOrting.

There is a duplication OF work
The commissions that have been es
tablished. such as an agricultural
school board, county road commits
sion, the poor commission. fall into a
rut Of their own with very little SUI

,missioners spend as much money as
all the other departments together
and yet all this money Is subject to
the control and direction of three

michigan county government is
something like the kitchen of miser.
ly housewife. 1t has the utensils the
adoption of which from time to time
has been forced by necessity-and to
that extent is up-to-date-but also il
has all the original tin pans, the
WORKOUT brooms, the useless stove
filters and the makeshift bins whose
purpose to begin with has been for
gotten. That government is more a
miscellany than a business institu
ton. 1t is rich in historical tradi
tons and poverty-stricken as a plant
operated without any clear idea as to
efficiency.

understand what could be more sport
than chasing Mr.. Fox, but on being
promised very large bone he said he
would do just rs Mr.. Dog told him.
They hid behind some bushes, and
pretty soon along came Mr.. Fox but
hearing Mr.. Dog and Mr.. Hound talk
Ing, he listened, making sure he could
run away II they moved.
Yes" Mr.. Dog was telling his
friend 'the master had decided that
Mr.. Fox Is too smart for US, and so he
has bought some new hen houses and
put them In the yard back OF the barn.
There are two hens In each house,
little white houses on benches and /
guess now we have Mr.. Fox fooled"
Mr.. Fox smiled as he listened and
then, turning very softly, he trotted
on down the road and jumped over
the stone wall, taking a short cut to
the farm.
Mr.. Dog had been peeking through
the bushes at Mr.. Fox and saw Just
What was happening, so when Mr.. FOX
was out OF sight he and Mr.. Hound
ran for home and arrived just as Mr..
Fox had tumbIed over one Of the
hives.
Out came the angry bees and Mr.
Fox fed, bowling as he ran, while Mr.
Dog called after him: "Come back.
Mr.. Fox. and try the other little hen
houses; we had them built especially
for you to play with"
Mr. Hound wanted TO chase Mr.. Fox,
but Mr.. Dog told him he might get
stung by the bees. and so Mr.. Hound
had to be contented with bowling and
barking.
Mr.. Fox did not bother Mr.. Dog
again; he kept as far away from That
farm MS possible and never was seen
around there afterward.

POLITICAL POSITIONS

TTHERE are many civic positions
which win certainly be open to
women In short time, not only
here ana there, but everywhere. In
many of our smaller cities aud towns
the womcn's clubs have done q great
civic work already proving .ihat wom-
en- are well fitted to do such work.
There Is no reason at all why woman
should not be commissioner OF street
cleaning, and there seem TO be many
reasons pointing TO the fact that she
would be an excellent one. AS factory
inspectors, as recorders, and in posi-
lions having 10 do with the household
side of the community. women can do
excellent work.
Women who go into politics should
go with sense of service 10 the body
polite. II they do that and can point
10 results that prove them square.
honest and devoted, many women are
going to find themselves elected to city
jobs.
II you have a bent toward civic
, work, study the problems In your own
community. The past generation saw
the marvellous development OF women
ms to the business world. The coming
one Is sure TO see an equally amazing
entry Into the world Of political work.
So far women who have been APP
pointed to various city or state posi-
lions have not had to play politics.
They have been given such positions
because they were fitted for them and
had the necessary training, That is
the right spirit. Get your training and
do your studying, know your problems
and the type Of people with whom you
must work, II you are fit for The job,
( you have as good chance as your
brother to get tor you will have be.
! fore old time is much older.
