The mercantile business in New

Is concerned. Reports from other

What Retailers

Retailing Is beginning 20 take on

Nancy wondered and wondered
how she and Nick could get the
Fairy Queens wand from Flap
Doodle, the purple fairy. who had
stolen it.
Flap-Doodle and, the Twins were
eating rice together out of bowls
with chopsticks. The Twins had in
vited Flap-Doodle to have some
lunch.
Suddenly Nancy thought of a
plan.
That's a nice chopstick you
brought with you. Mr.. Flap-Doodle,'
she said. do you care If l try it,"
Flap-Doodle didn't know what to
say. He looked over to the place
he had put the wand and wished he
had kept it by him.
"Oh. / guess not" he said off-hand
like. as though he didn't care.
So Nancy went and got the Fairy
| Queens wand.
Flap-Doodle never once guessed
that the little Chinese boy called
| Nick 90 Ting was just plain Nick,
and that the little Chinese girl called
Nan Soy was his Twin, Nancy. SO
he didn't worry much,
He went on eating his rice and
mapping his big ears, never noticing
that Nancy was motioning to Nick
behind his back.
All at once he heard Nick say:
please. Green Shoes, take us
down to the Earth to the Fairy
Queens palace"
Flap-Doodle made a jump and a
grab, but he was too late.
The Twins. holding tight to the
magic wand, were already far away
in the sky, travelling headlong to-
ward the earth as fast as two little
comets.
Hopping frogs and leapine

an outrage! I've been fooled. III

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-They say
a woman is as old as she feels. If
hat Is true then hat other
cynical statement anent the fair
sex, that they have no feelings. must
be veracious also. Recent statistics
show that the average span of life
for females in this country has in
creased 2.71 years since 1910. In
our cities the average longevity OF
the ladies is SAT- and the truly rural
feminine life reaches an average of
57.41 years. In spite of statistical
proof that their years are increasing
the fact remains on the face of
things that they are also growing
younger every year they gain.
A generation g the average
oma of 60 was classed as an aged
crone. Her sparse white hairs were
PEELED UP under a cap, ner Eack was
bent and her joints were gnarled.
She affected felt slippers and wooden
lingerie and sat peering through her
specs as the world swept east her.
Nowadays the IF 60 sweeps
right along with the jolly old mum
dane sphere. She kicks up her
French heels as she sweeps and is
just a few flaps ahead Of the flap
piest fiapper. If her hair isn't
bobbed, then it is deliberately dressed
and the sparkling eyes that look out
from under carefully arched brows
wink gayly at the advancing years

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Fred stalked out of the hotel, his
heart n raging bruise.
Stunned and furious, aching and
frightened, convinced hat the whole
fair structure of life was topping
1t mattered not where he was going
only to be moving, as an offset to
the frenzy within.
He was glad to find himself ulti-
mately on the riverfront, where few
were passing, and nor intruded or
his tumbled thoughts.
So hat was the woman he had
married.
His future and hers lay with the
great city and it's ways and she
grossly furious that it took her from
her small-town ways and dreams.
The apartment he had found he
felt to be ideal-near the Gypsy
salesrooms, in the midst of every
thing. in the same house with at
least six prospective buyers of
Gypsys, as Cunningham, the head
salesman, had already told him.
And Connie, thinking only of her
cottage and her curtains, her garden
billions to crafty her snippy little
ideal.
Love-in-a-cottage, forsoothi What
he saw for them was love in the vor-
tex of life. Love that meant growth.
Love with a purpose to climb and
to do,
Selfish, and fo~olishly selfish, it
was. If Connie were the kind of girl
who lived only for herself, very well.
He would suffer the shattering of
his dream of a partner who loved
her mate better than herself.
But Connie loved him. she knew
She did. Then why hadn't she sense
enough to see his development and
success lay among the haunts of
men? Did she think he could earn
enough to satisfy her needs by stick
Ing in the mud of bonneville?
Perhaps selfishness was too harsh
a name for it. Foolish, headstrong
were more suitable words. Con
couldn't be really selfish. But head
strong and tenacious. yes.
Emotional. too, and impulsive to
almost any extreme. Perhaps at that
very moment she was contemplating
something mad. Contemplating :?
Connie never contemplated. She
Rcted.
Fred glanced at his watch. He
had been gone from the hotel two
hours. In that time anything could
develop in a brainstorm.
Perhaps if he talked to her quiet
iy, explained how the theatrical and
sporting set in Cleopatra Court was
just the set that bought Gypsys;
how the head salesman himself had
recommended the apartment house
for that very reason: perhaps she
would listen.
And if she didn't? Well-Connie
meant more to him than the selling
Of a few cars He turned back to the
hotel, but was soon confused and
obviously wasting time in finding
the straighteSt course.
A passerby told him he was far
from Broadway and Thirty-fourth
street. Fred hailed a passing taxi.
