1t was a good thing for everybody
that Mr.. Sprinkle-Blow had brought
his magical lasso along with him
from his star. Even though he
had not succeeded in catching that
old rascal Whizzy Tornado, it help

chief that Whizzy had done.
They lassoed Mr.. Lion and Mr..
Tiger as easily as you could catch
Munchie Mouse, and the camel and
the other animals that had escaped
from the Zoo went back like lambs
when Nancy and Nick led the way.
And the p~elicaus and cockatoos, Bit

when the twins told them that the
poll parrots had returned.
So that was fixed.

Editorials For
Women Folks

No, she didn't marry his family.
That was all quite true. But neither
did he think he was going to be
taken away from his family when he
married her. And hat is just what
happened. He won a wife and lost
a family!
She didn't say very much when
his mother came for her first visit
after they had established them
selves in their new home. But there
was a certain frigid atmosphere
about the place that he couldn't I'M
derstand at all.
Then pretty soon his mothers
birthday came around. And as he
had been in the habit of doing, he
counted out n dollar for each year
she had lived and sent it to her. OF
course, he showed his wife, because
he wanted her to enjoy the giving,
too. But his wife pouted and finally
that night after dinner came out
with an actual complaint.
She could have used that money
for a new dress!
But when her mother came and
spent her birthday with her son-in-
law and daughter, the elderly woman
vas taken to the most expensive
eating place for dinner. and out
shopping the next day her daughter
bought her a hat and had the bill
put on her own.
When his sister wrote that she
vas coming to spend a short while,
the new wife wrote back hat she
was i'll and couldn't entertain COM
pany. But a few weeks later her
brother arrived to spend the sum-
mel while he looked for a job and,
of course, every one was glad to see
him.
And so it went until everything
he did for his family was done from
the office, SO his wife wouldn't know
and there wouldn't be a painful
evening to endure.
Years later when the wife discov-
cred that her husband had a dual
personality. that he practically lived
two lives, one which she knew and
one which she did not, she wondered
how it was that she didn't see tho
deceit when she married him. When
really it wasn't there-she created
it.

THE LOVE PENDULUM"
By MARION

to the holmes of those my aunt
wanted to know, and didn't.
"At last you are a social success

the way back from the showing. Il

At this change of front L laughed
outright. But somehow / could not
blame my aunt, either for having
snubbed Colin when she had no use
for him, oil running after him now
when she had. This empty, silly
sort of game was her life, she found
an enormous amount of enjoyment
in it, and / rather envied her for
that.
But I took Colin to dinner-and

days, one of those delightful warm
sunny days that gives a glorious
promise of the good weather to
come-and that is usually followed
by weeks of cold wind and rain.
The evening was as warm as the
day. We were to go to my aunts
later; so after an early dinner, we
started to walk down town.

FOR CLEANING YOUR
SOILED WALL PAPER

If help is hard to get you can clean
your own wall paper when you clean
house this fall.
First dust the walls with a soft
brush to remove all loose dirt. Bread
sponge, of course. can be used for
the rubbing, but that is quite ex-
pensive, and something which serves
quite as well, if the paper is not too
badly soiled. is bran on a large soft
sponge. Be sure to change the bran
often enough so that you do not
streak the paper instead of cleaning
it.
Dampen the bran just enough TO
make it stick together.
Grease spots can be removed with
a hot iron pressed against three
thicknesses of brown paper held
over the spot.
