They'll protect you. Run right
into the circle" he shouted.
What circle?" / thought.
The only circle / knew of
around there was the Arctic Cir
cle-and that is only on maps,
anyhow. What did Bunny mean?
l soon found out. Just around
a great bank of snow which we
then turned, what should we see
but a perfect circle of animals
that looked like sheep with great
long. curling horns.
Come right I'M" shouted Bum
ny as he ran between two of the
big musk-oxen, for that was what
they were.
Into this strange pen we fled
just as the wolves rounded the
curve. What would happen next?
the musk-oxen, dropped their
tails between their legs and
whimpered as they skunk off like
skulking ours.
AS soon as all the danger was
past the circle broke up and the
mother muskaoxen and their ba-
bies, Bunny and Bobby and I,
who had been SO perfectly pro-
tected by the bulls, went our
way.
Astounding" I gasped.
Sure" said Bunny. why,
wolves are so afraid Of those
fierce musk-oxen and what they
can do with their horns that they
run as soon as they see them"

"Many a man fails to become =

his memory Is too good"
Nietzsche, in his "Maxims," is
of the opinion that man with a
good memory doesn't think enough.
II know nothing about It; / am
my own ancestor"
Junot, Duke of Abrantes, is re-

in reply to a query about his an

. HERE'S charming little
song called 1.-THE Lass with
the Delicate Air"
Have you heard it?
A bit old.fashioned. Well,
yes, perhaps.
And yet I wonder. There's
Emily, for instance.
Emily used to get discour-
aged. She felt that the girl who
is little shy and retiring and
who loves sweetness and deli
cacy is out Of it these days when
the self.confident, talkative, b.
hemian flapper seems to have
not only the center of the stage
but the whole stage.
Emily's friend. Madge, had twice
the popularity and attention that
Emily ever received, Emily would
tell herself at such discouraged
moments. And Madge was not
shy or gentle or retiring. Madge
seldom refused cocktail, had a
kiss for each favored admirer.

a great fool" Madge concluded,
land I'm going to quiet down
before it's too late.
Emily smiled and cheered
Madge as best she could and the
two girls cooked themselves a
jolly little chatting dish supper.
1t was hardly over when the
telephone rang and Emily recog-
nized a friendly voice from home
her brothers. He was with
another young man from Emily's
home town, and was passing
through the city on business
trip.
Could Emily go with them to
the theater this evening-and
bring girl friend if she chose?
Emily would and did-and she
asked Madge to go with her.
Here's your chance to begin
all over again, Madge," Emily
laughed, for my brother will be
prepared to like you and believe
in you as friend Of mine. So
start right now, turning over
your new leaf"
This happened last season.
Madge did turn over her leaf in
earnest. And now they say that
she Is planning to take up
home.making career instead Of
her art work. Or she may com.
bine both and go right on with
her painting. Emily's brother IL

She and Emily win be neigh
bors. for Emily is going home to
wed the other young man from
home-her brothers friend.
The experience of Emily is not
exceptional. You may be sure
that human nature does rot
change. Fads and fashions come
and go. Grandmother, when she
was young, swept about in hoop
skirts and tainted fashionably.
Mother piled her hair high over
wire rats, pulled her stays much
tighter than was good for her,
and thought it unladylike to ex.
ercise much. Daughter bobs her
hair, smokes a cigarette possibly
now and then, and tries to i'm.
prove her pretty face with oh.
vious paint and powder.
q Is the lass with the delicate
air unpopular today?
Just think a moment before
you answer! And please don't
confuse popularity with cheap
iiotoriety.
Recall the women you know

hosts of happy wives and moth.

ment rings. Are they not in al
most every instance girls with

Men may stop to play about
with women whose standards are
easy to live up to, whose de-
mands are only for the pleasures
that money can buy.
But when 1t comes to honest
admiration and respect, to love
and marriage. you will find that

She put her arm in Margaret's:
"Come,, dear mother; he is dead

Margaret clenched her hands

''Toy Shop" Successful

Mrs Decker is to be congratulated on the success of The Toy shop at the town hall last Saturday evening One seldom sees performance given by children where every part was SO well taken, and the whole effect SO pleas ing. The curtain rose on a scene that would have delighted the heart of any child. Eight boys dressed as wooden soldiers were drawn up in brave array as a background for dolls of various kinds, a clown, Jack in the Box, de- lightful little Teddy Bears, a black cat, and three irresistible little white kittens. looking very dressy with their large blue bows, not to mention Raggedy Ann and her famous broth CT. Raggedy Andy.
 After the opening chorus, which was led with <'eat spirit by Miss Faith Decker as Raggedty Ann. Bob by Elliott, who was Jack in the Box, made the first speech of the evening, to the effect that "now they were alone they could have some fun and fun they certainly had. The soldiers marched, after which three of them, Frank Decker, David Sherry and George Baysr, sang about Three Fish ernen, which 80 pleased the audience it had to be repeated.
 Louis Auger as the clown gave an amusing recitation; the black cat, who I am told was David Sherry. recited; !; Marion Lewis, as a French doll, gave a recitation; an appealing little Jap anese dOil, Betty Maitland, sang about the s'lovely little dollie," and an other little prima donna, Sara Rhodes, sang a song about the doll who had something the matter with her saw dust.
 One of the most amusing features was the act cf the Teddy Bears. who sang. danced. and wrestled, and when he little kittens were brought to the center of the sage Bunty Maitland, one of the Teddys. sang little verse about them.
 Betty Decker was the dancer of the evening. in a charming pink and green hallet costume she treated the audi ence 10 a very graceful dance. The height of the fun was reached, now ever. when Raggedty Ann and Andy. Mrs Decker and Faith, did their dance. which simply brought down, the house The only criticism heard or inc show was it's brevityi it was so good. everyone wanted more.
