The Girl Who Took 4 Chance
By JEAN SEIVWRIGHT

"Oh what fun that would be. I'm sure the party's the last thing Ted would think of, but I know he'd enjoy 1t. l do hope Avril will come
 "Surely she will. Doubtless she'll be interested in meeting your brother. I'll appoint you hostess and I'll try to get tickets for some of those Russian shows, if you think that would please your brother"
 "I'm sure it would, but where shall we done? You know I don't know what's what in New York;" said Judy anxiously.
 Suppose you leave that to me. I'll make arrangements"
 What a good scout you are, Don," said Judy as with a cheery goodnight she entered the sober brown stone house where she had room. Next morning Judy was all excite ment as hurrying to the office she met Avril and told her about the party. At first Avril absolutely refused, but finally Judy persuaded her to accept the invi- tation. She knew we'll that Don was keenly alive to Avrils charms and won dered why there seemed such coolness between them. Sne determlned tnat Sne would give Avril an inkling of his feel ings for her it had never occurred to her that she might be the cause of their arrangement.
 Don't you think it was awfully kind of Mir. Farrar to arrange this party?" questioned Judy.
 "Indeed I do, but don't see why he included me-" Avril remarked.
 "Why not, I'm sure you'd be the first one he'd think of" retorted Judy.
 "1?" queried Avril incredulously.
 Certainly" answered Judy.
 II don't see that at all," remarked Avril.
 Judy laughed "Then you're not so

apart, MT. Fixus did not run out Of the shop and climb tree as the Witches hoped he would do; instead, he knew Ill a moment that magic had been worked upon him and he climbed right up in Raggedy Ann's lap and sat there look ing very unhappy.
 "The mean old things.' Raggedy An dy said, II have q notion to get out and wrestle them!'
 But Raggedy Ann said, No, Raggedy Andy, we must not open the door for fear the Witches will come running in!"
 So the Raggedys pulled all the cur tains of the shop so the Witches could not peep in, then they went in MT. Fixus' cupboard and found pumpkin and cherry pie and lot of other nice things to eat and they had their dinner.
 When the Witches grow tired of waiting for us to open the door, they will run home. then we will try and find a way to help Mir. Fixus change back into his own shape again!"

Chapter XVI.
Chapter XVI. WE'LL, Judy" said Don one eve 's w ming when walking home with her, how are you getting along

 with Miss Delancey?'
 "Oh. she's charming. We have the loyeliest times together. I don't wonder you're crazy about her." and Judy smiled at the serious expression of her tall com panion.
 II guess she won't be with us much longer" remarked Don. "Oh, l shall miss her dreadfully," said Judy. She's been so good to me and she's so inter ested in my progress at school.
 "Then you're enjoying your work at art school" remarked Don who, since Avril had elected to direct her much longed-for education, had paid compara- lively little attention to her progress in this field.
 q should say I am," replied Judy en- thusiastically. I'm only sorry l didnt start in at art school as soon as l was graduated from high. There's so much to learn and feel so far behind. You see in costume design it's not only the drawing, but all the history and romance of its development that takes such ages for a beginner to cover.
 Don't get discouraged, little girl" re- marked Don. "Is this the course Miss Delaney suggested?'
 "Yes. You know she went with me to the school and introduced me to the teacher, who happens to be friend of hers. I think it was darling of her to do this, only she said she'd do anything for a friend of yours," and Judy looked at Don with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
 q don't believe she has much use for me-" said Don as he tossed his cigar ette away.
 You don't?' queried Judy. Then turning abruptly to him she said, Can you guess who's here?'
 "In New York, do you mean"
 "Certainly." replied Judy.
 Your father?" questioned Don.
 "No. You'll never guess. Ted's boat came in this morning and he's to have shore leave tomorrow. 1 told him when he phoned that I would be leaving the office at 5, so I think he'll try to have the evening off"
 "Oh," exclaimed Don. II haven't seen Ted for years. Surely you'll give me chance to see him."
 "Of course I will. In fact, he wanted to know if you wouldn't dine with us.'
 q tell you what, Judy. Let's have party for your brother. We'll have din- ner and then go to some show. How would you like to ask Miss Delaney!

bright as I imagined"
 Avril's heart was beating fast. Could it be that after all Judy's affection for Don was just like that of a sister? Then she remembered the evening at the thea ter. Perhaps it was Judy who was mis- taken. She shivered.
 Presently Judy said. Don't an aw- fully nice. chap and l don't see why you treat him so coolly. He's crazy about you"
 For a moment Avril was silent, then raising her eyes she said, What would you have me do?"
 Let him see you care for him lit tle," replied Judy quickly.
 But" Avril hesitated, perhaps you're mistaken"

 But no matter how hard they pulled, it only made their noses hurt so much harder until finally they had to stand still and rest.
 My, My! My" Heezy the Witch said, as tears streamed down her face. Doesn't it hurt to have our noses glued together?"
 My! My! My! Indeed it does" Hazel Hagg replied as she wiped her eyes. Tt only makes our nose hurt more when we tug and try to pull them apart, so let us work some magic and maybe we can get rid of the glue"
 So Hazel Hagg and Heezy the Witch got out their magic charms and in a few minutes they worked the magic and the glue came from their noses and they were able to sit down.
 Now we must plan how we can fool Mir. Fixus and punish him for putting

 Maybe we can work magic and change him into a mOnkey!' Hazel Hagg said. "Once I changed a man into a monkey and he ran right out of his house and climbed a tree!"
 T have never changed anyone into monkey" Heezy the Witch said "So you work your magic and change Mr. Fixus into a monkey, then when he climbs up a tree we will run in and capture Raggedy Ann and take her can dy heart.
 "All right Hazel Hagg agreed, q shall change Mir. Fixus into a monkey, but you must promise that when we capture Raggedy Ann you will give me half of her candy heart" Heezy the Witch agreed to this, so Hazel Hagg prepared her magic charms and in few minutes she had changed the kind MT. Fixus into funny little fat monkey.
 But as Raggedy Ann had locked the doors when the Witches got their noses
