Maid Enjoyed the Party.

A prominent New York first-nighter
and boulevardier recently gave a
party at his luxurious apartment,
those members of the unfair sex pres

from a half-dozen Broadway musical
shows, who came in their limousines.
One girl had her mulatto maid along.
That maid, quite as pretty as her mis-
tress, freely mingled with the guests,

But at last we reached the great arch

cavern.
At the lower end, between two
arches, a black, water-worn rock paw

digging for treasure is the most thrill

to man. Time ceased to be, and the
weight Of the damp and packed
sand seemed that of feathers. This
temporary state of exaltation passed,

heavy, and my back ached, but still
dug. Crusoe began to fuss about and
bark. He came and tugged at my
skirt, uttering an uneasy whine.

polite,
''These actions are naught but bluff"

be heard all about.
''You see," they said, cit is such fun

with the wind and with the Foam
Brothers and with the Tide Twins.
1--WE have so many other playmates,
too. There are the Mist Grandchildren
and the Army Of Raindrops and old
man Wind and the Storm family.
1--WE adore the Storm family. They're
always so ready to play the games
which would tire out others.
"They don't get easily tired. The
Storm family is strong family
They've made themselves strong
through so much exercising, though
they have always been naturally
strong, too.

Everyone cares for you-or at least

"Oh, yes" said Mother Ocean,

SOME STRAIN ON THE EYES
Wall Paper of Colonial Days Truly
Deserved to Be Called "Fearful
and Wonderful"

The antique wall papers found in
the colonial mansions of Ports
mouth, N. H., marvelously preserved,
are too animated for restful compan-
ionship. Only a nerveless race could
have gazed all their lives upon such a
monotonous variety of incident.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich tells US that
q typical paper, familiar to his child
hood, displayed over and over again a
group of English country people wear
Ing Italian hats, and dancing on lawn
which ended abruptly In sea beach,
on which stood fisherman angling for
a whale, and wisely Indifferent to the
issue of a terrific naval combat which
was being fought just beyond reach Of
his fishing rod.
Grander in scale, but as irrelevant
in detail, is a very handsome paper on
the walls Of the athletic club, where
we behold gayly dressed ladies and
gentlemen passing under Virginia's
Natural Bridge to get good view of
Niagara falls, and turning from the
barbarous splendor of an Indian war
dance to witness a drill of West Point
cadets.
The painted walls of the Warner
house. discovered by chance in 1850,
present a wide choice of disconnected
subjects. Abraham prepares to sacri-
fee Isaac under the supervision of
Governor Phipps, and foreign cities of
impossible picturesqueness stretch be-
fore the eyes of fair Priscilla at her
spinning wheel.-Agnes Repplier in

for it's members, Virginia makes
the acquaintance OF the Honorable

presses her Views, practically ac-
cusing Shaw and the other MEM

being in a conspiracy to defraud

in the arms of Cuthbert Vane. The

tells about the treasure. Virginia

INCREASE OF BETTER sIREs.
During Last Quarter of Year Many
Persons Have Done Away With
Scrubs and Grades.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.1
The .Better Sires-Better Stock
campaign, inaugurated by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
the autumn of 1919 to stimulate the
replacement of low-elass breeding ami
mails with purebred sires and improved
females, has gone ahead with in
creased impetus in recent months In
spite Of depression in the farming and
livestock business. During the last
quarter year ending September 80, 1874
persons were enrolled as having done
away with all scrub and grade or
crossbred sires and having determined
to use only purebred sires henceforth
for all classes of stock raised. This
shows a promising increase over the
two preceding quarters in which ia
and 333 persons, respectively, were
enrolled There was a corresponding
gain in both animals and poultry re-
ported by these owners, the COM
bined total for the three months
reaching 1O8906.
ments of the campaign is the spread
of this Improvement idea throughout
the country. Farmers and breeders
Of all kinds In nearly all the states
are signing the pledge to eliminate
poor blood in their herds and f1ocks.
The leading state in the number OF
new members for the last three,
months was Virginia, with 287. Ohio
was a good second, with 259, and ex-
ceeded Virginia by considerable
margin in the number of animals and.
poultry pledged to be bred only to
purebred sires. Nebraska was third,
with 153, and Kentucky fourth, with
145. Oklahoma, the next in order, al
though having comparatively few
sfgners, showed a widespread interest,
with 10 new counties joining the
ranks.
Belmont county, Ohio, led the coun-
ties in the country In the progress
made during the last quarter, with 81
new signers. Hardin, another Ohio
county, had 45, and Licking county 80.
Six counties in Virginia had more than
20 each. Three counties in Kentucky
had more than % each, and three in
Nebraska each exceeded 20.
In the two years that the campaign
has been in progress 102,437 cattle
have been listed by men who have
signed the Better Sires-Better Stock
pledge; also 1922 horses, 493 asses,
1887 swine, 1921 sheep, 2,789 goats,
and 4O4,717 poultry have been listed.

ONLY one Friend Left.

Marjorie was three years old when
her brother was born, and was jealous
when anybody paid any attention to
the newcomer, for she had received all
the attention before.
One day when her brother was about
two weeks old, dad was holding him
and calling him pet names which for
merly belonged to Marjorie.
She sat in the corner for some time,
and at last, when she could endure it
no longer, she burst out: Nothing will
even think of holding me any longer
but the floor"

The reason why some homes never
have a door mat is because father is
content to let the whole family walk
over him.
Probably the worst feature of this
short skirt and spider web silk stock
ing combination is that it gives the
girl with spindly shanks no chance
to pad 'em.
A girl does not mind wearing the
"apron effect" on a party gown, but
you won't find her falling for the
kitchen apron effect. That's one she
will leave exclusively to mother.
Honesty is the best policy. Many a
young couple who have stolen a
march" on their friends have got a
life sentence-unless it later is com
muted by the Divorce Court Judge.
Fear of his wife will keep a man
from doing things that fear of his
conscience never would. Be good, if
you can; if you can't, get married.
No man has right to doubt his
wife's love if she will still laugh at
his old jokes she has heard a thou
sand times.
The ambition of most every girl is
TO be able to marry money bags
who can support her in style which
she never has been used to.
Women's fashions put on and take
off things without regard to season
reason or the cost.
