Fairy Tale
6I NARY GRAHAM BONNER
MELLY'S BIRTHDAY

1t was Melly's birthday. But she
didn't know it.
You may think 1t was strange to
think that a little girls birthday had
come and that she didn't know it.
And it would be strange were it not
for the reason.
When there is a good reason every
thing is clearly understood.
1t was a very excellent reason which
kept Nelly from knowing it was her
birthday.
She had been thinking about her
birthday for many, many days. She
had heard her family whispering
secrets-lovely birthday secrets she
knew. She had seen one or two mys
terious looking bundles hurried into
a bureau drawer and her mother had
said:
Don't look in this bureau drawer.
Not that there is anything exciting in
it-but don't look anyway
That was another birthday secret
mystery-to pretend there was nothing
important really in the drawer and
yet not to look
The night before her birthday Nelly
had gone to bed feeling very happy
The next morning would be her birth
day. 1t would be her birthday all day
long. All day long there would be

Suitable Bandeau
Should Be Chosen

sary in Selecting Hair
Decorations.

With the increasing vogue Of the
bandeau now there should be little
difficulty in suiting the right hair
ornament to the right woman, says
fashion writer in the Kansas City Star.
here is where knowledge of line Is
very necessary. A bandeau can be
very regal. 1t can impart an inter-
est1ng touch of the oriental to the
Wearer, and-it can be very unbecOm-
ing If care is not used in it's selection.
In choosing a bandeau, the shape
OF the face is of great Importance. A
snort, round face should not be
adorned with band coming low down
on the forehead and detracting from
the already rather meager length. A
narrow band should be chosen and
should be worn near or right at the
hairline Nor should the bandeau it
self have rounded lines. 1t will be
much less unfavorable if it comes to
q peak in the front. Also, the band
ought to be comparatively plain and
thin, so that it will not add heaviness
to the features.
A long. narrow face can be topped
by broad bandeau that detracts from
the facial surface, and should be
rounded rather than pointed at the
top. Also, the woman with an un-
usually high forehead will generally
look much better in a broad bandeau
than in a narrow style unless she
wears her hair very low on the fore
head and simply uses narrow band
across her hair
One more fact about the round, fat
face A bandeau with ear ornaments
attached may help, provided the face
is not too short. These earpieces
should extend we'll on to the cheeks,
so as to cover part of the facial sur
face
The shape of the nose must also be
taken into consideration. A woman
whose nose is large and prominent
should not wear tight slender BAN

Upon the efficiency of that first fit
ting, as you buy your gloves, depends
largely their permanent fit, advises an
expert in the Kansas City Star. Sizes
are satisfactory as preliminary guides !;
but the proper "set" of the glove to the
hand is insured only by careful fitting.
Seat yourself comfortably for the
process, sitting sideways, with your ell
bow on the protecting cushion. Unless
YOU are left-handed, in which case your
left hand naturally will be the larger,
give the saleswoman your right hand
to measure and fit.
During that first fitting at the store,
and at subsequent times when you put
the gloves on yourself-particularly
while they are still new-these rules
should be considered. New gloves
should be drawn on gradually, never
forced on, or pushed down between the
fingers. A glove never should be held
by the corners, as 1t is being fitted on,
but by the center of it's back. 1t
should be drawn off backwards, rather
than pulled off by the finger tips.
Do not buy glove which needs to
hA stretched at the wrist. II it does

His TOo Objects

E. H. Simmons, the new president
of the New York Stock exchange, was
defending the American business man.
Mr.. Simmons, nephew of the late
E. H. Hartman, said:
"Our highbrows accuse the Ameri-
can business man of having only one
object in namely, the resolve to
be a millionaire at thirty-fve. This
is false, utterly false. The American
business man has two objects in life.
His first object, admittedly, is the
resolve to be millionaire at thirty
five. His second and far more aspiring
object is the resolve to be multimil-
liOnaire at forty.'

Many Happy Returns.

special treats, special fun, special
events.
Yet now it was Melly's birthday and
she didn't know it
All, but the reasonl
She was fast, fast asleep and SO
she didn't know it was her birthday
She was sleeping dreamlessly, warm
ly, cOntentedly, when suddenly she
heard right through her sleep the
sound of a bell ringing. 1t was the
gay bell which sat upon the sideboard.
And she also heard Il beautiful new
gong the family had lately bought. 1t
had such pretty, musical notes.
Then she was being kissed, and
everyone was saying:
Many happy returns of the day.
Nelly !"
She knew it was her birthday now.
She was wide, wide awake and the ex-
elements were all beginning
Just as she was about to have her
breakfast which was surrounded by
ferns and flowers her little friend Ma
halia arrived.
Mahalia was carrying the dearest
little bunch of sweet pink roses you
ever saw.
Nelly had seen pretty roses before.
She had seen beautiful roses. But
these roses were the dearest little ones
of all.
OF course Nelly could wear them
without the silver paper, but for fine
event it was nice to have the flowers
look SO dressed up, too.
Many happy returns" said little
Mahalia. 1--WE brought you roses for
your breakfast"
Well, didn't that sound nice! Think
of having roses brought to you for
your breakfast Nelly was delighted.
Then came the table with the pres
ents, new doll, set Of picnic dishes
for the dolls when they wanted to eat
Out-of- doors so that they could save
their good pink dishes for indoor par
ties, a game, three lovely cards, four
poems, a cake, a wreath, a box of
candy and a sweater for her favorite
doll.
All through the day lovely things
Kept udpp0uluS. LII lu0 AFTERNOON
there was a party. In the evening,
just before she was going to bed, was
another surprise present-a book with
stories and pictures in it; such a nice
book
And just before she went off to
sleep every member of the family came
in and said:
Again many more happy returns of
the day."
1t was lovely to have birthday keep
right up all through the day like that.
And beside her bed, in a little vase.
were the roses Mahalia had given her
at breakfast time and which would
give her sweet little flower messages
for a good many hours still.
She was sure, because the flowers
were so sweet, that they were wishing
her very special birthday wishesl

TOXIC, May o5.-Two additional
violent earthquake shocks added to
the terror of thousands of refugees at
Toyo-Oka last night, after-shocks of
the temblor of Saturday in the Tajima
district
Official relief agencies continued to
minister to the panic-stricken popu-
lace in the devastated rural area,
which had not been visited by an
earthquake for 400 years. More than
tWo-thirds of ToyoOka, a town of
1000, is in ruins as a result of the fire
that came in the wake of the tenn
blor, according to word received a the
home department from the Toyo-Oka
governor. The number of houses de-
stroyed will exceed 5000.
Although a number of banks in the
area have closed temporarily. the fin
ance department has cabled commits
SionerS abroad that national finances
or the economic position of Japan will
not be affected by the quake as the
damage is confined to a limited area
in the most remote country districts
Of Japan.
Reports trickling into Osaka gave
eyewitness accounts of scenes of hor-
ror that followed the temblor. The
disturbance reached the full measure
of its intensity with alarming swift
ness which gave residents of Toxic
Okla no chance for escape in the open
street. A number of persons We're
reported killed by boulders falling
from the hill sides.
Inflamable Japanese houses burned
like tinder, the water mains We're
buckled and severed and fire-fghters
were unable to halt the flames. The
worst suffering and casualties. Osaka
reports said, were caused by the fires
which broke out after the quake. the
origin of which was in the Japanese
sea in the opinion of DR.. Imamura
famous seismoloEist.
According to the latest reports re
ceived here from Osaka. little damage
was done to the silk industry. Four
of the principal silk factories which
produced the best raw silk were un.
damaged. The extent of the injury
to the Spring crop of cocoons is un-
known but is not believed serious.
