 Into pint bottle, put 2k ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, the full pint saves about two.thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, and gives you . more positive, effective remedy. It keeps perfectly, and tastes pleasant--children like 1t.
 You can feel this take hold instantly, soothing and healing the membranes in all the air passages. It promptly loosens q dry, tight cough, and soon you will notice the phlegm thin out and disappear. A days use will usually break up an ordinary throat or chest cold, and it is also splendid for bron- chitis, croup, hoarseness, and bron. chial asthma.
 Pinex is a most valuable concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, the most reliable rem. edy for throat and chest ailments. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex" with directions and don't accept any. thing else. Guaranteed to give abso. lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co., Ft.

though not patterned after the man. -larin coat. still is decidedly Chinese in feeling. Lacquer red crepe de chine is embroidered with big black and white chrysanthemums. Tiny cloisonne blue flowers are scattered in with the bold black ssApd white design and stel beads sfsHther add to the lavishness of the asf3br0idery.
 A blouse of this kind has individual ity expressed in every line. It is diff ferent. And while this sort of costume blouse may or may not enjoy the great vogue predicted for it, it will surely appeal to the girl who likes individual things and feels that it is a novelty particularly suited to her style of dressing.
 Strange to relate. couraeeous young lady recently bought an mex pensive blouse on this order to wear as an unceremonious-house- gown. She explained her feeling that negligees were for women who had maid to answer the door bell, or who at least had a. reasonable chance of resting or reading without interruption. Her ideals are@rot without interest to those of us who haven't time to wear real negligee but would appreciate some thing comfortable and attractive to take itsA place. n3
 The sailored blouse and the costume Blouse are by no means the only im- portaHf ones. Another old fayorite. the peasant blouse, is also coming along in gay new designs and colors. They fue seem so gPod-lookins in their different ways that one wonders how it isswe have neglected them for so long, IA

A NOBLE VICTORY

It has always seemed to me that judges and magistrates were all-know- ing gentlemen. Their bearing in court, the crisp, confident manner ill which they handled intricate legal matters so easily created in me a sense of awe and respect. Of course. judges are kings in the domain of their own court rooms. They are the last word. But there is a certain magistrate in New York who is not the last word. He does not know everything. There is one word with which he is not familiar. He does not, he says, even know what it means. That word is "Flapper.'
 ''Flapper! What is a flapper? I confess my complete ignorance" he said when motorcycle policeman re- ferred to a young woman he had ar rested for speeding in her automobile, as flapper.
 "Flapper!'' repeated the magistrate, just what is flapper anyhow?'
 Neither the policeman nor the young womans lawyer could provide a Infinitely adequate definition. The lawyer stumbled about awkwardly and said his client was "chic, but not friv- olous," and therefore was not a flap 2 ptf. 1Hc mdSiSttdtc, hoWcNcl, was hOt convinced.
 sFlapper." he replied. lis term of which disapprove. It is not recog- nized in the language of this court. '' And my reverence for judges and mag istrates and courts Is greater now than it ever was. The magistrate has set a legal precedent from which no one can appeal unless the question is taken up with higher court. But in the meantime it has been definitely es- tablished as a matter of answering law, in court of justice. that there is no such creature as a flapper; and as volunteer court attendant, I feel like screaming: Hear ye! Hear yet" so that all reformers and chronic critics of human young women will become familiar with the law and the decision.
 Every now and then I have ex- pressed the opinion there was no such thing as a "flapper'-that the term signified creature born in tho imagina tions of those who somehow cannot en- dure the sight of young woman hav- ing a rational and good time and now without even having to go to court, a magistrate of the law, sworn to do his duty by God and country, upholds me.

Commen Of Mrs. Jeffries

Well what did he say? Why couldn't you tell me over the telephone? Do you get the raise of salary:' asked Mrs. Jarr all in one breath.
 T couldn't speak out; was phon ing from the boss's club."' Mir. Jarr explained. He was standing right by me-
 You don't mean to tell me you have been out with that old tightwad till 3 in the morning mad you didn't get a raise?" asked Mrs. Jarr incred ulously.
 You mustn't call him a tightwad; he's the most generous of men," re- piled MT. Jarr, but somewhat thickly. He spent his money on me like prince"
 Like quince, I should say.' snap ped Mrs. Jarr.
 He took me out to luncheon and ex- plained to me how the firms profits had all been reduced to almost nothing. and how heavy the income tax would be on the business, and how the banks wouldn't take any more of the firms paper
 "Why don't he see Mir. Munsey, he'll take anybody's paper?" Mrs. Jarr AhtciiuptCu ulul to SdyS
 I'm speaking of commercial paper" remarked Mir. Jarr. If you'll only pay attention. Then he took me to his club to dinner, where I telephone you. Then he bought tickets from a specula- tor that cost him $10 each. to sec a show. and after the show he took me to a cabaret. Why. he was generosity itself. He must have spent $100 on me-.
 ''On himself. you mean!" snapped Mrs. Jarr. He paid for what he wanted and took you along to amuse him. That's the way men claim they ruin themselves spending their money on women. They spend it on them selves and take the women along to en to death."
 ''Well, be that as it may, don't think the firm is in position to raise anybody's salary" said Mir. Jarr sullenly.
 Did you tell him about your dream, and that told you that it meant you were to get raise of salary?" asked Mrs. Jarr Did you tell him you dreamed he was John T. King. and that you saw teapots full of money given you by oil millionaires? ?''
 No. I didn't" mumbled Mir. Jarr.
 Well, l am going to see his stuck up wife, Clara Mudridge- Smith and tell her your dream. She may be silly, but she will see that if you dreamed a dream like that it means you must have a raise of salary, or it will be unlucky for her. Women have more sense than men and are more logical!'

gun somewhere over on the Big River and the green head was hastily with drawn under the brush, but not before Sammy had seen a look of terrible fear in his eyes. T believ it is Mir. Quack :" thought sammy. If it is I'll have the best news ever to tell Mrs. Quack Just trust Sammy Jay to find anything he goes looking for
 This was just plain boasting. and Sammy knew it. But Sammy always does have a good opinion of himself. It is one of his faults. He quite lost sight of the fact that it was quite by accident that he had come over here to this swamp. Now that he had guessed who this might be he was less impatient. He waited as still as you please. and at last the green head was slowly stretched out again and sammy could see that the neck was green. too. and that around the neck was a white collar. Sammy could keep still no longer.
 Are you Mir. Quack:" he asked eagerly. ,.
 The 'beautifu head disappeared like a lash. Sammy waited minute or two; then he repeated his question. adding: You needn't be afraid. There isn't anybody here but me. and I'm your friend. just want to know if you are Mir. Quack because I've been looking for you for Mrs. Quack. Are you:''
 Slowly. looking this way and that way, with fear and suspicion in his eyes. a handsome duck came out from under the pile of brush. "Yes,'' said he in a low voice, .'I am Mir. Quack. Where is Mrs. Quack?"
 Safe and sound over OF the Big River" replied Sammy joyfully. 70, I'm so glad I've found you!"

TREND OF FASHION

Each season children's fashions emphasize the youthful charm of colorful little frocks whose inspira- tion is plainly derived from the smock of European peasants.
 There is nothing so becoming to the very small person as straight simple lines which however are given individuality and character by the choice of materials and by dis tinctive touches of exquisite hand work.
 To mothers who take pride and pleasure in fashioning adorable frocks for the tiny daughter the new cotton fabrics suggest innumerable possibilities. There are smart little plain and checked ginghams guar anteed not to fade so that they are excellent for, practical play dresses English prints have a charming quaintness that makes them es- pecially suitable for children's clothes, while the latest version of dress sateen shows a wide crinkly stripe and scattered motifs of gay flowers in formal arrangement.
 For little afternoon dresses one may choose embroidered grass cloth that has small conventional designs formed by dots embroidered 1T. color. The range of embroidered cottons is exceptionally wide this spring and the loveliest sshow, for nal motifs in the brightest colors at widely spaced intervals.

LITTLE BEDTIME STORY
Mir. Quack Is Found At Last

to be seen. That green spot had moved. He was sure of that And if it moved it must be something alive. If it was alive it must be somebody, and Sammy wanted to know who it was. Try as he would, he could not remember any one who wore such glossy green as that. So he sat perfectly still, for he knew that if whoever was hiding under that brush should even guess that he was being watched he would not come out.
 His eyes sparkling with excitement, Sammy watched. He was impatiently patient. Did you know that it is pos sible to be impatiently patient? Well. it is. Sammy was just boiling with i'm patience inside. but he didn't let that impatience spoil the patience of his waiting. He sat there just as still as still could be, with his eyes fixed on that green spot, and you would never have guessed that he was fairly burst ing with impatience to know who it was he was watching. That is what is called self-control. It means the power to make yourself do a certain thing no matter how much inside of you you may want to do something else. It is splendid thing to have, is self-control.
 After what seemed to Sammy a very long time the green spot moved again. Little by little something reached out from under the pile of brush. It was a head. a very beautiful green head, and it was exactly like Mrs. Quaek's head. only there was sober brown in- stead of green. Sammy choked little gasp of surprise as a sudden thought popped into bis head. Could this be the lost Mir. Quack? He had forgot ten that probably Mir. Quack dressed differently from Mrs. Quack, and he had been looking for someone all in brown.

Every Girl Now
 Has Her Eye On Blouse
'sy FLORENCE ccasx

days has just bought new blouse or she has seen lovely one which she is going to buy soon. And this condition really seems to be due to the fact that blouses have suddenly blossomed out in new and irresistible forms; and in so many different varieties that tuying in haste is to be deprecated. It might so easily lead to wanting at leisure some other kind than the one selected.
 Think first what sort of blouse will best fit in with the rest of your ward robe If you are going to have one of the new mannish suits. you will need several smart silk blouses to wear with that So it would indeed be extravagant to buy dressy blouse, however much you might be tempted to do so.
 To wear with the new tailleur, there are lovely blouses of crepe de chine with tucked bosoms like a mans shirt and snappy bow tie. The cuffs fasten with links and, inconsistent as it may seem, the lower edge does not tuck under the shirt band. 1t is fin ished with a narrow hem and. worn outside of the skirt. This feature gives trig appearance to the waist line of a costume.
 An amusing thing about some of these very sedate looking tailored blouses is that when you have looked beneath their decorous buttons and prim tucks, you will find that they are without any sort of sleeves. Nevertheless, they do not fall into the class with waist-fronts, because the armholes are finished with tailored band that makes it possible to re- move your coat with all the assur- ance of being fully clothed.
 Then there are perfectly beautiful costume blouses. One might say they are more like dresses, for the skirt with which they are worn is almost entirely covered. Soft, luminous col brings mad rich embroideries make these blouses suggestive of Oriental splendor An attractive bOuse which,
