 Gosh" said the boyish man of the house, with a reminiscent sight, 'l wish the strawberry season weren't so short. No more shortcakes until next spring. And shortcake Is tho noblest work of woman," he con cluded gallantly.
 The girlish lady of the house looked thoughtful.
 Why, Billy" she said slowly, q don't believe you have to have straw berries to make shortcake. Seems to me mother used to-
 Her voice tralled off, but the very next night there was set before him red raspberry shortcake that, as he put 1t, had strawberry shortcake lashed to the mast" It was of bis cult dough, hot and profusely but tered, filled with dripping red rasp- berreis and covered on top with more berries, powdered sugar and a heap of whipped cream.
 And that wasn't all. A night or two later a peach shortcake appeared that sent Billy into gambols of joy. There was a huckleberry shortcake that beat huckleberry pie all to a frazzle, take 1t from Billy. One night there was banana shortcake, sprinkled with red maraschlno cher ries and dabs of whipped cream, the bananas having been mashed to a pulp and blended with lemon juice to relieve their flat taste.
 Before the rhubarb quite disap- peared, the budding housewife made shortcake of that, which was all most the best one of all. Orange shortcake. blackberry shortcake. five fruits shortoake (from the can), and

Sure Way to Get
 Rid of BLackheads

There is one simple, safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
 To do this Ret two ounces of ealonits powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot wet cloth-rub- the blackheads briskly-wash the parts and you sill be surprised how the black heads have disappeared. Big blaekheads. little blackheads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear. Black heads are a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions that form in the pores of the skin. The ealonte powder and ths water dissolve the biackhends so they wash right out leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural cendition.-- Adv.

 The two little Witches had put their nose in Mrs. Marandie Mousies front parlor and Mrs. Marandie Mou- sic had nibbled both of their noses thinking their noses were two red sausages.
 You see, the two litle Witches be- lieved the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome were still down in the Mou- sie's home. So, as son as Mrs. Mar andie Mousie nibbled their noses. the two little Witches jumped upon their flying broom and sailed home to wrap their noses in vingar and brown paper.

Raggedy Ann and ha ggedy Andy were glad they had found the ice cream cone bushes. For, after escaping from the two mean little Witches, the Rag gedys and little Ned Gnome were very hungry.
 R a g g edy Andy was in hopes they would find a hot weenie bush and Raggedy Ann was in hopes they would discover a place where pan cakes and maple syrup grew, but when the ice cream conc bushes were dis covered by little Ned Gnome the three friends were very glad to find them. for, if they had found a hot weenie bush. or a plan cake field first, they W o u T. d pro bably have eaten s6 many hot weenie sand wiches, or pan cakes, they would not have cared for ice cream cones,

 "Wowy!" Chilli con carnie!" the two Witches howled as they wiggled and twisted when the cold ice cream ran ran down their backs. Its burning like fire! Wow! We must run home as quick as we can"
 So they let go of the Raggedys and hoped upon their flying broom again. Just you wait Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. we will be back and capture you in about minutest Then we will put some of those things down your back"

To lose without grabbing.
To win without growing.

A field with no favor,
Where Who advances
Is stronger or braver
Where there's no repining
At how things are going.
Where losers aren't whining
And winners aren't growing.
