MY DEAR RUTH:

l am sending you number of
new ideas in underthings and negli-
gees that I think will sell like hot

noon at the office Of Strubble &
Strubble. You know Karl told me to
consult the senior member of the
firm, who is a very charming man
of more than middle age.
Believing that woman should
be as confidential with her lawyer as
with her doctor, told him the whole
story except that l had sold three
of the pearls.
He said he knew Karl had been
collecting these pearls ever since he
was little boy and lie congratulated
me upon having them. He looked at
me rather quizzically as he did this

He seemed to think he could settle
the waiter very easily. l told him
really don't want Karl to pay out
any more money and that as soon as
he arrived from abroad l should try
and make arrangements to return
him the pearls.
He said that would be the best
way if I returned them at all, but
in all events l was not to worry
about the matter. He would take
all of the possibility.
He said he would arrange every
thing and l came away feeling quite
secure. l rather gathered he was

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

AS Daddy Gander said afterwards,
he could scarcely believe his own
eyes. For there in the kitchen cup
board stood every pumpkin pie that
Peter Peter had made, and every
mince and apple and lemon pie that
Missez John had made, and the ex-
ira big one that the Bakerman had
made and marked with J, and all the
cookies and cakes and ice cream and
everything. Right in the house that
Jack built!
The Sandman stood looking, and
so did the Twins and Daddy Gander,
not one of them able to believe his
eyes. For as truly as tell you, not
half an hour before the cupboard
had been as empty as refrigerator
on Sunday night.
II must be losing either my senses
or my cyesight!" gasped Daddy Gan
der.
"We1l,' said the Sandman, "Tll be
losing my job, if l don't get these
people awake and home to bed where
] can put them to sleep properly
Whoever would have thought Of my
sand bag opening up that way, and
all that sand flying over here?'
And he looked at Missez John, Jacks
mother, sound asleep against the
kitchen sink. How happy she would
have been to know that all her pies
were safe!
Don't you know any magic way
Of waking people up?" asked Daddy
Gander. d"
"No, l DON'T" declared the Sand
man helplessly.
IF only Mother Goose doesn't
come home before we get everything
! Strengthened QUIT" sighed Daddy.
1t was Nancy who had an idea.
Her little brain had been thinking
and thinking. "Say, Mister Sand
man, if we get the sleepy sand out
of cvcrybody's eyes, wouldn't that
waken them%'
you're just right it would, young
lady, but how? That's the question. -
''If Daddy Camden takes his magic
dustpan-you know how you do it,
Daddy Gander. If dust or sand
comes anywhere near your dustpan
it flies right to it and sticks. Couldn't
you wave it around and get all the
sleepy sand out Of everybody's eyes +"
well, declared" cried Daddy
Camden "Of course I can! Funny
didn't think of it before. Here!
Where did l leave that dustpan OF
mine? Oh, there it is"
And without another word he
waved it around and said charm
and everybody woke up with jump.
The first thing Missez John saw
was the pies. Good lands! Where
did they come from ?" she cried
At that minute Nick came up the
cellar stairs two at time. THAT
isn't cupboard you put the pies
and cakes into. mother" he said. Ut
| was the dumb-waiter that goes UP
and down to the cellar. They were
SO heavy they made it go down and
you only saw the empty shelves
And when l fell asleep in the cellar
l must have bumped it and made it
/ come up again"
So the party ended just right. And
when they were all home again, the
Sandman put them to sleep in the
proper style. Then away he went in
his cloud boat up to the sky where
he lived. - =
