The idea of q free course in
domestic duties for all employed
girls under the manageable age
looms with significance az we

9ong continued study Of the class
have learned that two definite
matters will do more than al else
to make such girls happy; first,
something OF q coneenial domestie

their natural desire for love and

w Es indeed, some funny ami.
mails do live in Australia.
You know, that is where
the kangaroo lives and also the
cassowary.
Cassowary? A cassowary, my
dear, IL a huge bird like an
ostrich and is a great runner.
A cassowary has long legs and
a long neck with a funny little
head perched on top. Oh, yes!
He also wears a helmet, a big
horny lump on the very top Of his
head like a soldiers helmet.
One day, when we were IN Aus
tralia, Bunny, Bobby and were
having an argument as to which
could ruin the faster-a kangaroo
or cassowary.
Finally said:
Lets decide 1t by a race.
Bunny. you ride our friend, Mrs.
kangaroo, and Bobby. you ride
Mr.. Cassowary."
Bobby shouted That's fine!
Bunny. go and find our friends
and see II they agree"
They were agreeable and we
made our plans. We measured
off the race course and put UP a
stake at the place where they
would finish.
There took my stand. The
two riders climbed on their
mounts and rode to the starting
point-Bunny on Mrs. Kangaroo
and Bobby on Mr.. Cassowary.
They had a hard time getting
settled, because the big birds
feathers were so slippery that
Bobby could hardly keep from
sliding off, and Bunny's fur next
to Mrs. Kangaroo's fur made him
slip around quite a bit before he
finally got settled.
I saw them from a distance,
scrambling around, trying to get
tightly seated. They had agreed
to start when I dropped flag
which held in my hand.
Both riders were secure now.
Both steeds were swaying and
stamping In their desire to get
away.

Now, let us not say that Fate

ADVICE TO THE

Thirty Years Apart.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The man is fifty-five; the
girl twenty-five. He is exceed
ingly wealthy and she is not.
She says she loves him. They
recently became engaged. Can
they be happily married?
A MUTUAL FRIEND.
IF the two are mated mentally
and spiritually-if they have a
real basis of devotion and under
standing, there is a good chance
for happiness, in spite Of the wide
divergence in years. You and I
don't call this an ideal match
but after all. we cannot look into
the hearts of the man and the
girl and know what they mean to
each other. Other things being
equal, believe that the chances
of happiness are greater when the
husband and wife belong to the
same generation and have ideals,
aims and traditions in common.
But sometimes love can bridge
even a gap of thirty years.

II guess you're a FIXTURE" said
Bill, patting the mongrel's head.
The dog expressed his acquies-
cence by wagging his tail and try.
ing to lick Bills hand.
Thereafter wherever Bill went
the dog went with him. It was
against all precedents in the Of
fices Of the Kicks corporation for
its statesmen to go out soliciting
orders attended by a mongrel ca
nine. Mr.. Skinner called Cappy's
attention to it.
Cappy laughed. "BilI Peck's not
like the other statesmen, Skinner.
Wait ana see."
The young man had appeared at
the office the next morning ana as
sured Mr.. Skinner that he was
ready to tackle the skunk spruce.
Skinner gave him a curt nod, and
even that was toward the door.
Bill did not linger; he was not slow
to take cue. It was up to him
to sell or cry baby. and he had
no idea Of crying baby.
From his previous experience
he knew that skunk spruce was not
greatly in demand. There was no
bowling cry for It now that the
war was over and normalcy was
trying to re-etablish itself In spite
Of the politicians. Bill went down
to see Jack at the aviation field to
talk matters over with him, but

to deliver a consignment Of lum-

rT ERE is the instance Of q
factory employing thirty
1 young girls, every one Of
whom Is taught domestic science
on the company's time and while
drawing fun wages.
The parents az well as the en-
ployers Of girls should give the
idea suggested above the most
serious consideration. Perhaps
it carries with it q valuable part
Of the solution Of the problem
Of what to do with girls who
grow tired Of the public school
and drop out. Perhaps q certain
type Of girl will learn better the
fundamentals Of q womanly life
while at work than they win by
direct application at school.
The head Of the factory offer
ing the free course in domestic
science insists that his method
is sound as q business venture.
It Is his theory that every girl
instinctively desires to learn
domesticity; that to teach her
the domestic work is to make her
better as an employe, more In.
clined to stay with her appoint
ment and happier in every other
relation.

without the spruce would be in

was to find some other firm in

the spruce.
It was in following out this

When Bill Peck sent in his
