mosphere or Air, and all Of Old Man
Weathers friends and assistants. But
he was amused by what he heard.
He hadn't had a chance to speak to
the Wind who is the Treasurer In Old
Man Weather's business concern.
Nor had he had a chance to speak to
the. Cloud Secretaries, nor to Vice
President Sun. nor to First Assistant
Atmosphere.
He had not had q chance to talk to
any of them for he had been having
one Of his birthday parties.
You see, Old Man Weather does not
know how old he Is. He has really
no Idea of his age. Only he knows
that he II very. very old.
And neither has he any idea when
his birthday comes. He never had
the same childhood as he had seen
others have.
Yes, he had seen others who had
had 4 great fuss made over their
birthdays when they were young and
90 they had kept on celebrating their
birthdays right through life.
Old Man Weather couldn't do that
because he had not begun right. He
could not say that any one day In the
year was his birthday. And 80 he had
a birthday whenever he felt like 1t.
He had Just been having one Of his
birthday parties. And to his birthday
party had come many of his business
friends and his other friends as we'll,
for Old Man Weather has 30 many
friends, even II some do grumble about
him and say unkind things about him.
1t had been very puzzllng to every
one who wanted to find out about the
weather for 20 many kinds seemed to
be possible. 1t was all because of the
birthday party.
And II ever you hear that the wealth
o. Is to be very uncertain and that no
one Ii quite sure what 1t IL going to
be like even though they have studied
everything about it-then you may
know that Old Man Weather is having
q birthday party.
And. as have said, II was following
this party. that Old Man Weather was
so much amused He heard a little
girl asking her little brother this ques-
ton: us It going to rain tomorrow
The little brother said that he
thought 1t might and again he Nought
It might not, which was not Avery
helpful answer.
Then the little girl asked her daddy,
"Is II going to rain tomorrow
Her daddy had answered, II don't
know. dear. l did not get a newspaper
this evening so can't tell"
Well, that was what amused Old
Man Weather. Not but what the pa
pers were pretty apt to be correct
about him, studying him and his
friends as they did. but even the pa
pers could make q weather mistake
because they were never quite sure
when Old Man Weather might change
everything about. They didn't even
know that he gave birthday parties
He had always kept that q secret from
them.
On, Old Man Weather was 30 much
amused to think that people would
find out what the weather was going
to be like and that he would fool them
once In awhile because Of his secret

suit developed of navy poplin, with

Noted among the most fashionable
suits are models Of piquetine with all

side-tie coats Is inslstent, and very

In the severely classic tailleurs
notched collars, linked fronts and mar

SWAGGER TAILORED SUITS;
FROCKS FOR YOUNG GIRLS

N/HILE the general character Of
w suits this season is ornate and of
varied novelty, the classic tailleur has
lost none of its prestige among a patri-
clan clientele. The Paris coutouriers are
turning out many suits of the youthful
type. mostly In black and navy and the
new pecan shade. The skirts are fair
ly short. and the jackets are often de.
cidedly so. These are finished with
odd little pockets and rows of self-col

kIWANIANs BACK BOY SCOUTS

In OIL City. Pa. the Kiwanis club
has rounded out some interesting plans
to aid boy scouts In developing into
strong, alert citizens. The club will
organize two troops. One will be for

offered to the scout proving to be the
best scholar, and another medal to the
lad knowing his city and county best.
