Olive laughed gayly.

You won't even sit and talk to

Olive glanced at the little watch on
her wrist. gift from her mother
before she left home. Three o'clock,
and they had been there since one.
But Donald had given her such nice

What's two hours?' His scowl
deepened. He looked SO utterly mis-

What is it YOU want to do? She
felt grateful for his kindness to her,
for the good time he had given her.
"Oh. just 10 be with you. Olive
that's ALL his handsome face clear

where-somewher where we could
talk without all this music and noise
and chatter around us. You won't
let me come to the studio
Don't go into that again. Donald,
please. When | am not busy you

with the others"
He interrupted
That's just it-with others, It
wouldn't be any harm to let me come

Il promised mother, Don. 1 shall

Olive had promised her mother in
that long. heart to- heart talk they
had just before she left home. that
she would not receive a young man
alone in her studio. Faithfully she
had kept her promise. although at
times it had been hard to turn them
away.

its fascination. Olive had dreams
of a different studio. one containing
all this one lacked-which was al
most everything. Superimposed upon
her yet unexploited ambition lay this
desire, yet it took in no sence from
her pleasure as today she stood high
UP at her window and looked at the
myriad lights of the city. Down al

home had seem de so close-so very
close.
This was a little of all she had
thought and dreamed and hoped-a
beginning!
Her eyes. fascinated to WEAKNESS
by the intriguing lights. finally
turned draggingly from the window
and she dropped listlessly back into
her studio chair and studied the face
ON the easel she only that morning
aad begun to paint. The face of a
middle-aged woman, rather sad, with
HlIle lines dDOuI tic eyes anu
tired lines-perhaps unhappy ones

She smiled after bit and nodded
her head. 1t was fairly well done.
Later. when she could study with
some great teacher. she would, of
course. do much better. But that was
a long distance off, because she must
first earn the money to pay for it.
Once again she looked at the face
on the easel. Would she have sad.
tired lines on her face when she was
that woman's age? Would people
looking at her say, as she had done.

by unhappiness? What would her

No one ever questioned Olive. She
had told them-that is. her most in

mother. of the little white house in

that meant nothing. She was sweet,

That is all we ask:
Just to ge of some small service
Is our daily task"
Every morning when Old Mother
West Wind comes down from the
Purple Hills and shakes her children
the Merry Little Breezes, out OF her
bag to play all day on the Green
Meadows while she spends the day
doing her share in~ts1e work of thu
Great World, they sing that little
song while they dance the very mer-
riest kind of a dance. Then off they
race to see what they can find to do
for others. They never expect to do u
great deed. They are quite content to
do little deeds. for Old Mother West
Wind taught them a long time ago
that life is made up mostly OF little
deeds.
This particular day there hadn't
been great deal to do. They had
blown away cloud of flies which had
been bothering Bossy the Cow. They
had warned Peter Rabbit that Reddy
Fox was trying to steal up behind
him. They had carried the scent of
Old Man Coyote to Johnny Chuck just
in time for Johnny to dive into his
house. Then they hadn't found much
of anything to do but to play and
have a good time generally. That is
what they were doing when they hap
pened to race down the Lone Little
Path just as Black Pussy sprang on
little Mite, the runaway baby of
Danny Meadow Mouse. The Merry
Little Breezes didn't know who he
was. You see. they didn't know that
Danny Meadow Mouse had any
babies. In fact. they didn't even know
that Danny and Nanny had home
together in the middle of the pile of
old corn stalks on the edge of Farmer
Browns corn field, which shows how
well Danny had kept his secret.
But though the Merry Little
Breezes didn't know who little Mite
was they did know that he was in
terrible trouble and right away they
wanted to do something to help him.
Black Pussy would let little Mite
think that she had let him go. She
would even turn her head away. Little
Mite would start to run and then just
as he would reach the edge OF the tall
grass down would come her paws on
him, making him> squeak with pain
and fright. But always she took care
not to hurt him so that he couldn't
run. 1t was great fun for Black
Pussy. At least she acted as If she
thought so. But to little Mite, poor
little Mite, who never before in ell his
short life had known anything but
kindness, it was terrible. He kept
hoping and hoping that he would be
able to get away. only to have those
terrible paws of Black Pussy land on
him at the very last minute.
The Merry Little Breezes felt ter
ribly. They blew angrily in Black
Pussy's face, but, of course. Black
Pussy didn't mind this at all. They
tried to find dust to blow in her face
SO she couldn't see and thus give Mite
chance to hide, but there was no
dust in the Lone Little Path. What
could they do for that poor helpless.
little Meadow Mouse? Just then one

Waistline Moves South

The migratory waistline seems to
have come to anchor somewhere
about ones hips. And one of the
simplest ways to keep it there is
by means of the tie-on blouse which
is justly popular for many reasons.
These blouses are made for sports
and outing wear of jersey and flan-
mel. They are made for suit wear
of any silk or cotton goods you may
prefer. For afternoon wear they are
made of elaborate materials and are
elaborately trimmed. In any case
they are satisfying.
The sort of blouses. you know.
that one could never call waists, -
il you get what we mean.

BY MRS. MAX WEST
Late Of the United States Children's
Bureau

The supposed dangers OF the sec
ond summer" are usually those which
accompany the weaving period or,
rather, the period just following the
weaving.
At this time are made many of
the most serious mistakes in feeding,
and as digestive disturbances are
worse and o more serious conse-
quences in hot weather, it has given
rise to the tradition of some special
danger attaching to this time in the
baby's life.
AS matte~ of fact, the first sum-
mer is a much more dangerous Pc
riod in the life of the average baby
as shown by statistics. Far more ba-
bies die in the first year OF life
than in the second-three or four
times as maryland it is hardly pos
sible that there can be two summers
in one year
But for all babies, the hot spell
that usually occurs in the middle Of
summer is a very trying and often
dangerous one, and if it happens that
the baby is being weaned from the
breast or has iately been weaned
from the breast al this season of the
year, mistakes IN diet may be of
grave consequence.

On Sunday in Costa Rica the whole
family visits The nearest village TO
put in a gala day. Perhaps there is
a religious festival in the morning; at
any rate, there is a mass to be at
tended. Afternoon is given over to
visits, which women and children
usually make alone, while the man of
the house hangs around the general
store or postoffice, as the center of
interest. II he is feeling flush he
treats himself to can of evaporated
milk. a great luxury. which he drains
off through nail hole, just as If it
were champagne.
Too frequently, however, he un-
earths a jug of moonshiners' liquor. a
violent beverage, which is manufac-
tured in many huts in spite of the ac-
tivity of government revenue agents.
If there is any of this stuff in circu-
lation, he usually ends the day by
indulging in a machete duel with his
best friend. and both principals spend
the night in the Jail. which even the
smellest villages maintain for such
eventualities. The duelists awake

There seems to be a great opening
for humorists in the states. George

to have sprung into prominence at
once. He is now. of course. lecturing
on what he forgot to- put into the

states is ''the original helmet worn by
