ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

"Come here!" beckoned Mister
Dodger to the Twins. "What do you
make of this ?"
Nancy and Nick crouched low
beside the fairymap where they
could see and hear, but where they
could not be seen themselves.
But they need not have been
afraid, for the chickens were having
an argument, and when people are
trying to show that everybody else
is wrong and nobody, is right but
themselves, they don't bother much
about outsiders
Mrs. Buff Orpington was speaking.
"Why all you've got to do is tc ask
Farmer Brown" she cackled. ''He
had ME at the County Fair in a cage
with wire over the front, with card
on it that told all about me. I'm
the finest hen on the farm. Ny an
cestors date back as far as the first
hay stack ip the county and my
blood is as blue as rinse water on
washing day."
"Oh goodness! cackled Missez
Plymouth Rock. BLUE blood! My
goodness! Didn't my ancestors come
over in the Mayflower and land at
Plymouth Rock! Don't talk to me
about the blood"
Speaking of blood" put in Missez
Bantam, "My great grandfather was
the most famous game-cock in Amer
lea. He won the biggest cock-fight
| ever held on this side of the ocean,"
"Humph!" shifted Missez Black
Minorca. That's something to be
ashamed Of, not proud of. shouldn't
boast of it if were you, Missez Ban
tam. But they do say that small
| people are always talking Of their
own Importance. You'd make pretty
poor picking when it i came to q
meal"
! Missez Rhode Island Red spoke ut
Enthusiastically at this:
=! eyes, should say 50! When il
comes to showing ones board and

some meat on my bones. Besides my
eggs are larger and finer than any

Farmer Brown say 80, and besides

[ "Well. Of all things!" put in Mise,
!! White LeghOrn. s'As though Gidn'

i At that minute Mister Dodge
stepped into the circle and points,
to little Misses Brown Hen. who ha,

Dermatologist Gives
Complexion Secret

The great secret of keeping the face
young Is to keep off the dead cuticle. ac-
cording to a noted English dermatolo-
gist IL is well known that the surface
skin Is constantly dying, falling off in
lmperceptible particles, except in some
diseased conditions, when the same
appear like dandruff But the particles
DO not drop off Immediately they die, be-
ing held for awhile by the live skin.
To have the chronological surgeon
peel off the entire cuticle at one time is
a painful and expensive process. The
same result is obtained by applying or
binary mercolizzed wax, as you would
cold cream. This is both painless and
inexpensive. The wax, procurable at any
drug store Zone ounce usually suffices),
hastens the natural shedding process. 1t
gradually absorbs the dead and half
youthful skin Observation-Disclosures

Lost Romance

Dear Miss Lee I am a lady 20 years
old. L have been in love with man for
twelve years. had a chance to marry him
once. but 1 was very young and thought 1t
best to wait So l started going with other
boys and soon he thought 1 did not care
for him.
l have not seen this man for four years.
still 1 love him. 1 have tried every way
on earth to make myself forget. 1 have
been popular all my life and many OF my
friends think 1t strange because / do not
marry. try so hard to love another. but
am afraid 1 never will.
This man has been married six years and
feel as If l am terrible and silly for low
ing him There Is no hope of my ever
getting him as my husband. and. of course.
don't want him as long as he has living
wife. ! think he has forgotten me, al
though he told friend OF mine was a
wonderful girl and he still loved me. We
never see each other.
l am going with man who is nice to me
and wishes TO marry me. like him as
friend but could never love him. Just go
with him because / am lonesome AMI he
takes me places. Do you suppose / could
be happy If I married him? do not want
to. but my folks would like for me 10 mar
~. I feel as II cannot. l still want to
wait for the man love. VIII you advise
met
I don't believe in divorces and never
thought any one should marry man un
less she loved him. but / am getting TO an
age when 1 should have home and chill
dren. HOPE.
Had you married this man you
might have found that you and he
were not at all suited to be husband
and wife. As you did not marry him,
YOU visualize him as he was, with
the years softening his faults and
emphasizing his virtues. That makes
it hard for you to find another man
who comes anywhere near his per
lection"
You see that. don't you? Then the
thing to do is TO get this picture out
of your mind. Deliberately spoil a
beautiful dream, for the sake OF the
present and future.
Do not marry until you feel you
can give your husband, II not the
ardent love OF youth, the loving com
partnership TO which he is entitled.
That Is only fair.
