ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS r
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Weeny and the Twins babe Gypsy

more adventures. !,
"Did you know any more people

on his back.
Suddenly Weeny began to laugh.

ing Of Buddy Ostrich. Buddy was
a dreadful goose and everybody was
always poking fun at him. But he

friends. Did you ever notice that

ways have friends? But they have
to be really ones. Really kind
hearts, ! mean."
"Tell us about Buddy" said Nick
Cant we 60 there? To his house to
visit him."
"Sure, we can," nodded Weeny.
That's where I'm going now. Only
Buddy doesn't have a house, really.
! His home is where he hangs his
hat" he says, and I guess it's true.
| But l know just about where he
lives and we'll be sure to find him.
Weeny crossed about forty coun-
tries and an ocean and came finally
to the hot country where the os-
triches lived. Next he hunted a
sandy plain, and then he stopped and
looked in every direction.

weed growing anywhere" said Nick.
"That wouldn't bother him." said
sWeeny. "He doesn't wear any hat"
"You know why" said voice, and
they all turned around in surprise.
There stood. Buddy Ostrich. He
was such fast runner that he had
caught up to them in two minutes
after he first spied them over a
little, sand hill.
"Hello, there!" cried Weeny, turn
ing around and wrapping his trunk
around Buddy's long neck and hug
ging him.
"Say," said Buddy. II wish you
wouldn't do that, Weeny. 1t makes
me nervous. Your trunk reminds me
of lasso quite enough, without
having it wrapped around my neck.
That's the way the hunters catch
US. BY chasing US on horses and
lassoing US like cowsboys lasso
cows on the prairies.'
"Why don't you wear a hat, Bud
dy? asked Nancy, who hadn't for
gotten what he said.
"Because!" said Buddy. "When
was in the circus l found out what
people do with the feathers they
pull out Of our tails. They dye them
all sorts of colors and put them on
hats and make fans out Of them and
trim dresses and everything. I used
to hide my head in the hand when

Because turkey loses it's head

but it's pretty hard work to grow a

TOOK CARDUI

Georgia Lady Says She's Sure of the Merit of Car dui, Having Taken It for 25 Years, When
 ever Needed.

Ellijay, Ga.-A quarter of a century's successful use of Cardui, taken on many different occasions when needed, is reported by Mrs. Thomas H. Kell, nearby resident.
 "When I was girl of 13," said Mrs. Kell, "my mother gave me Car dui as a tonic, with very good results" "
 Mrs. Kell explained that her second use of Cardui came after her mar riage, shortly before she became a mother. q needed something to build me up," she said, land I immediately sent and got a bottle of Cardui. I took it regularly before the birth of every one of my children, and I have always gotten along we'll at that time. My last two babies were twins, and before they came I grew very weak .. could scarcely get around to do my work. got Cardui and took it and kept it up. never went to bed and am sure the Cardui did it.
 My health is very good now. I recovered my strength quickly after the twins came and this attribute to the use of Cardui."
 Cardui is a safe, purely vegetable, medicinal tonic medicine, proved valu- able in helping to relieve thousands of cases of womanly weakness, such as Mrs. Kell describes above.

The fashion of wearing wool or silk-and-wool hose with brogued or semi-brogued shoes has been declared extinct by some self-appointed style writers, but their judgment is two feet short of right Youngsters like the rugged roustabout look of wool socks and low shoes, particularly coIlegians and the legions who follow them. Hence this fashion is anything but out-moded, and new patterns are constantly being brought out to keep it on good footing.
 The hose, illustrated here, are one of the scores of patterns--bright, black and-white shepherds checks in diamond designs, although almost any other color may be substituted for black, such as brown-and-white, gray-and-white, Lo- vat-and-white and so on. Some men cannot wear wool next to the skin without irritating it. For these, silk and-wool hose are recommended, the silk imparting softness, while the wool is absorbent. During the last few years fine isle hosiery has come into wider use. It is quite as soft as silk, though less lustrous. For that reason it comments itsel ito many of us who regard silk socks as better for occa- sional than for regular wear.

FLOWN JUNE
 COMES TO LYRIC Honey Bunch Company Gets Good Reception
 First Night

Attractive costumes for the chorus, entertaining songs and considerable humor combine to make "Lovin' June," this weeks presentation by the Honey bunch company at the Lyric theatre, a pleasant, racy skit that held the atten- ton of audiences Monday from start to finish.
 Although there is no great amount of plot, the audience apparently didn't think the fault was important, and in- terest centered in the specialties and song and dance numbers.
 Of all the specialties presented, Sid Jacobs probably was best received by the audience. Jacobs has a good voice, and with that combines considerable personality and offers a character song that made an instant hit with the au- dience. Inez Marvin, talented violin ist and vocalist, received her share of attention when she scored another hit with her double speciality of a violin and vocal solo.
 Syd Garrison, chief comedian for the Honeybunch group, is given a role this week that offers him plenty of oppor- tunity for some new qiups. Lorraine Malott, a newcomer with the show, plays opposite Garrison and proved to be worthwhile addition to an already good cast.
 Louise King and Thad DeMonico were presented in a dancing number that delighted a number of the audi ence. Charming Mae Amber, playing the leading feminine role. proved even more popular in ''Lovin' June" than in last weeks offering.
 Sid Jacobs, whose speciality numbers in both the company's shows have proved entertaining, is given a few lines this week. He handled them well and it is likely that he will be given more in later productions.
 Louise King, although not cast in as important a role as in the first offer ing, did some good work. Jane Kermit,

"COMMON CLAY"
 WELL RECEIVED
All Members Of Cast Good At Jeff
 erSOn

If the All-Star Jefferson Players ever earned the right to the "All-Star" end of their appelation they did so Mon day night in Common Clay" a play which is excellent and which was staged in a no less excellent fashion.
 Built as it is, around the central figure of a wistful girl, outcast, the piece affords a splendid vehicle for the versatile Kathleen Comegys; but it would not be fair to say that Miss Comegys scored single triumph Rather she scored four distinct tri- umphs and she probably would have gone right on scoring them to the general satisfaction of her audienct had the play offered any further acts. Each of the four, with Miss Comegys and a cast which rose above, if pos sible, its previous efforts, met with tre- mendous success.
 In the part of Ellen Neal, young, and who wanted good time," Miss Comegys is provided with a part which gives her the chance few of her other plays here have presented. And she decidedly takes advantage of it. During the third act, particularly, when on the witness stand, she describes with a potent tenseness the sordid surroundings of her early life, she is good.
 McFarlane Good
 To the theatre-going public more or less familiar with Common Clay" a play which won the Harvard prize a few years ago and has since been presented acress the country on both the legitimate and silver-sheet, it is unnecessary to mention the worth ot the play. Naturally the part of Hugh Fullerton, the impetuous son of mil lions,. is taken by J. Glynn McFarlane and he handles it with extreme ade- uuacy. Judge Samuel Ellison, the bril- liant lawyer with somewhat of a past. also, is handled by DeForest Dawley and it would not be putting it too strong to say that he does the best work in his career here.
 There are also some other parts which deserve more than faint recogni- tion. A. s. Byron is convincing, as he has been in his previous allotments, as Yates, Ellen Neals attorney. Peter Butters as Artie Coakley does some good work. George Westlake handles the dramatic part of MT. Fullerton well.
 Other members of the cast, though they appear at brief intervals during the show, carry themselves well. This is especially true of Miss Helen Ray, who enters into only one scene, but while there, does a fine bit of work.
