Indeed, Raggedy Andy and the
Knight were very. very much sur
prised when the Witch came from the
other room pushing little table on
wheels. And on the table were such
lovely goodies the knight got up
from the floor without anyone help
ing him at all and pulled chairs up
to the table.
Il told you / would surprise you"
the Witch laughed. Now tell me
what you expected me to do to you!
And while you tell me, will dish out
the ice creamn'
So while the Witch dished out the
ice cream, Raggedy Andy got
monkey wrench out of one of the
Knights tin pockets and took off
the Knights iron helmet.
1t was hard work because the
Knight had stood out in front of the
door at the Magic Castle so long in
rain and shine, the bolts which held
his helmet on had grown rusty. But
Raggedy Andy knew that if the
Knight ate whole lot of ice cream.
(and the Witch was dishing out such
cold in his head.
1t isn't very pleasant eating Ice
cream with an iron helmet almost
covering your head and face.
you haven't told me what you
thought the Witch laughed as she
passed the Knight great big dish
of ice cream.
IT thought, sure pop you. would
change us into pigs, or monkeys or
something like that" the Knight re-
piled.
And 1 didn't know what you in
tended doing with u.s." Raggedy
Andy said. For you see" he con-
TUNED, some witches are very, very
good, and some are very- very
naughty, and [ did not know which
kind YOU were"
This made the witch laugh so hard
she could hardly eat the ice cream.
! Maybe you thought that I was
\ like the little girl who had little
curl hanging in the middle of her
| forehead. When she was good, she
| was very, very good and when she
was bad she was horrid.'
II guess / did think something
| like thatw Raggedy Andy admitted,
| but il you are such a nice witch,
why don't you dress pretty?"
"Because!" the Witch replied, some
| people always expect witch to be
! dressed as 1 am now, and as l was
| Just going over to work some magic
| for a neighbor, I dressed this way
You see, she is one who expects
witch to be a really ugly person.
When really very pretty person
can be much meaner than a witch at
times, So will take off my witeh
costume now that we have become
such. good friends! And the W1tch
threw her hat in the corner and with
it went her long white scraggly hair.
Then she took off the long red nose
which was only stuck on her race
with paste, and took off the long
black robe she wore! And there IN
front of the Knight and Raggedy
Andy stood the prettiest lady they
had ever seen.
And the pretty Witch laughed as
she again sat down at the little table
and passed the goodies to the Knight
and Raggedy Andy. -.
1T Njust shows" the hnlghe

while one woman experienced in

political costuming.
She is Mrs. Halsey w. Wilson, edu

MONEY ~
I've always, heard
That money talks, Il
And as its voice is music sweet
In every cline beneath the sun
1t surely is some linguist.
But money is like human Kind,
Sometimes it talks in blatant tones
And is quite vulgar,
Yet money is a servant rare
And ever does it's masters will,
So If it's master is uncouth
His money gets quite noisy.s
The workman, single, skilled content,
Goes daily to his week day grind ,
With careless air,
And as his week drags to an end
His mind is tuned to but one thought
Oh joy, today is pay day.
The future beckons not to him,
No bank cashier would know his
Z But with his money in his hand
He steps out. keen tc hear it talk,
And for night that lad is king,
For there are, those who groVel low
When coin commands.
But when the cold gray dawn ap-

Gone all his glory,
For he is broke, detected. blue;
His was but noisy money.

That some day he'd have lots of coin

They only laughed, but sure enough
An uncle died and left this nut
About a million in the bank,
And he went forth, this mundane kid.
And pried the hinges off the lid,
And every day he made his money
roar;e
Still he was but the laughing stock
of people.
But money must do its bid,
1t has no choice,
For in the pocket of fool
Its blatant voice is coarse and jeer-

INT ELLECT j Atty.
MAKES HUSBANDS
LESS IMPORTANT
Neysa McMein, Says Next
Generation of Women Will
Be Happier Because
Buster
BY NEYsA M'MEIN

What is the next generation of
women goingsto be like?
1 think, for one thing, they will be
happier. largely because they will be
buster. Most discomfort, i'll health
and unhappiness rises out of too
much leisure or from being forced to
do what one does not enjoy.
The new woman is not going to be
content with frittering away her
spare time. Nor is she going to tol-
crate being harnessed down to a
purely domestic existence. Getting
and keeping a husband is no longer
going to be her "magnus opus" The
higher a woman progresses intellec-
tually, the less important a husband
becomes to her. She wants to achieve
as an individual, rather than merely
-as a wife. If nature had intended
her simply for kitchen, nursery and
drawing room duty, she would not
have endowed her with capacity
for really great achievement in art,
science and music. For women are
capable of such achievement in spite
of the fact that up-to now fewer of
them have exceled than men.
Women are going to exhibit ge-
MUS more and more frequently, pro-
viding they can keep themselves
from being yanked back into medioc-
rity by long-faced opponents of this
freedom" After all, genius is so
per cent hard work. I believe any
one can attain proficiency in nearly
any field, providing she wants 1t
badly enough.
Take art, for instance. 1t is an
exploded theory that chosen few
are divinely endowed with ability to
point! Practically all children pass
through the stage of wanting to
draw pictures, and at that period
they all draw pretty much alike. It's
largely a matter of ! chance which
one will have his mind diverted by
some other toy ana which will play
! TO work with it.
Just because the new woman is
going to take more interest in things
/ outside the home does not mean she
will be less feminine. She will be
! just as anxious to appear attractive,
and will be more successful than at
present in achieving that ambition
She will know better how to make
herself good looking-how to REM
edy or distract attention from her
natural handicaps. Let's hope she
Will tire of making a freak of her
self. Any woman who commits such
atrocities against nature as pluck
ing her eyebrows ought to be hauled
off to the Tombs.
I'm afraid women will never get
over dressing as the designers tell
them to. They really can't help
themselves; when the shops insist on
following the dictates of the design
ers, rather than the wishes of their
customers. What is the ardent devo-
tee of the short skirt to do. when she.
goes to store in desperate need of
new dress and finds nothing that
can be shortened to the length popu-.
lar last year without running the
lines Of the dress. - But after all
what are designers for?

A charming little incident of opera
week in Birmingham as the lovely
enactment of the part of the Japenese
babe, Trouble" in Madame But
terfly by a sweet little Birmingham
girl whose scores of friends are in
terested in the ovation that she re-
ceived at this performance.
This little girl is Marguerite
Spradling Johnston. daughter. of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Johnston. who live
on Nineteenth street, south. They
were dining in one of the downtown
cafes an evening recently when the
little girl grew restless, and fitted
about among the tables watching the
other diners. Spotting dainty little
almond eyed woman at one of the
tables, Marguerite decided that she
was altogether too charming to re-
sist. So she ingeniously started some
childish coquetry with her, eyes that
spoke her desire for friendship. The
acquaintanceship began.
where's your little girl?" queried
Marguerite.

DINING TABLE BETWEEN MEALS

How to make the dining table at
tractive looking when no meal IS
being served-that is a problem
which puzzles more housekeepers
than one. 1t is awful looking when
il is quite bare and it is worse look
ing when it is adorned with some
sort of decora tion which is totally
out of. keeping with the spirit OF the
day and the furnishing of the room.
But, on the other hand, there are lots
of ways in which even the most con-
ventional of tables can be handled
decoratively, SO that it makes out OF
the dining room place that is ac-
ceptable as a home living room at all
hours of the day, not only at the time
when meals are being served.
Lace is a popular covering for the
shiny mahogany or the dull oak ta-
BILE, whether it be round or long, ac-
cording to the modern notion. And
if this lace is put on in the form of
a strip which hangs over the sides or
the table for some distance, then it is
all the more decorative, for the spar
kle of the polished wood, whether
dull or shiny, blazing through the
meshes of the lace, makes a brilliant
pattern, which is acceptable and in
spring to the majority of women, not
ranged.
Then, if there be. added to the lacy
strip bowl of fruit or an arrange
ment of candlesticks or brass bowl
holding an arrangement of fresh or
ar tificial flowers, there is certainty
that the whole composition will be-
come a pleasure to the eye which
rests upon it and an inspiration to
the spirit of every visitor and mem
Der of the household circle.
Some decorators are dyeing the
lace. They make it, for instance, a
bright blue and then they add four
blue candlesticks to match holding
blue candles. Others are making the
heavy lace panelea deep yellow. and
they are placing upon that amber
There are purple bowls
that look awfully well upon the
background of purple dyed lace and.

So--introductions were in order.
The little lady turned out to be none

pany.
little Marguerite entered into the
spirit of the opera SO we'll, that
Miura was moved to tears, and
