Then She Sat Up. door that led into
the dining room
and it had been pulled to- without
being latched. Now it blew open quite
wide and then almost closed.
And as it went back and forth IL
squeaked.
ooh, that wretched door," said Mel
ly, 'it makes me so nervous"
She didn't feel quite strong enough
to get up and close 1t and just tnen
no one was around to wait on her.
Quite often she had left the door
just that way and her mother had told
her to go back and latch 1t, for the
door was opposite from an open win
dow and the wind almost always ola
this trick with 1t whenever it got the
chance
She had never seen any reason for
anyone minding it banging little pack
and forth, but now it annoyed her
most frightfully
She was really not supposed to get
up and close a door for she was
wrapped up on the sofa just as though
she were in bed.
But at last she couldn't stand the
squeaking door any longer and got up
and closed it.
She felt little weak, and the walk,
although ordinarily short one, tired
her.
She was glad to get back to the sofa
again.
She curled up in the quilt and felt
rather pleasantly sleepy.
II think I'll have little nap" she
said to herself.
I'm not so sure about that, buzz,
buzz" said a fly.
ooh, DEAR" said Nelly, first 1t was
the wind and the door squeaking and
now you're going to bother me-"
''Buzz, buzz" said the fly, not car
ing In the least.
'Tll just go to sleep in spite of you"
said Nelly.
"Buzz, buzz" said the fly.
SO Nelly got into a most comfort
able position and pulled the pillow
down so her head was lower. She felt
deliciously sleepy now. In a moment
she would be asleep.
She made up her mind quite firmly
on this subject. But of course the fly
had had nothing to do with the max
ing up Of her mind.
He had not been asked whether he
would agree.
Just to show her, it seemed, that he
had not been asked, he stepped upon
her forehead.
Now, it was one thing to make up
ones mind not to be bothered by fly,
and another to have the fly come on
ones forehead for walk.
She brushed the fly away. He buzzed
off and came back again.
"Oh, please go away, fly" Nelly
said.
'Buzz, buzz, buzz" answered the fly.
'I don't feel well, fly, and want to
rest. Go away and let me sleep"
Arizona state miner., 1925-05-09

"B uzz, b uzz,
buzz" said the
fly.
Then she sat up
and tried to swat
the fly with a
folded paper.
But every time
the fly escaped.
Haven't you
heard me beg you
to stop bothering
me?" she ask ed
again.
"B uzZ, b uEz,

fly.

Bee and her friends had their store
of iluncy. the tree he hadn't been able
to tear open or push over.
When he found himself near that
tree he shuff1ed over to longingly
look up at that little round entrance,
the knothole where the bees went
in and out. He did it from force of
habit. For some time that had been
the regular thing to do whenever he
came that way. So he sat up and
looked up and his mouth began to
water before he really saw anything
at all. Then such surprise as Buster
Bear got! My, my, my, such sur
prise! He winked and he blinked and
he rubbed his eyes. and still he
couldn't believe that he saw what he
knew he did see.
What was it? It'was a great change
in that tree. 1t didn't seem as If 1t
could be the same tree. Something had
happened to it. Something had hap
pened to it in the great storm. 1t had
been struck by lightning and torn
right open. a great piece of it lay on
the ground. Buster went over to it.
Some pieces Of honeycomb full of
honey were still clinging to it, and
around it and crawling over, it were
bees and bees and bees. Buster didn't
pay any attention to those bees; he
just gobbled that honeycomb, bees and
all. like the greediest little boy that
ever lived. Bees stung him but he
didn't know it. He couldn't think of
but one thing at a time. and that one
thing was how good that honey did
taste. 1t didn't take Buster long to
eat all there was on the ground. Then
he looked up in that tree i wish you
could have seen the grin on Busters
face as he looked up. l wish you
could have heard the sigh of satisfac-
ton as he started to climb. How he
did scramble up there! The lightning
had split that hollow wide open and
Buster could get his whole head in
there.
The bees settled on him in cloud.
But it wasn't easy to crawl down
through his long hair, and when they
did get down through 1t his skin was
tough. Apparently Buster didn't know
any bees were there. He would plunge
his head in and get mouthful OF comb
dripping with honey and then gulp it
down as fast as he could. Such sight
as his face was. He was smeared with
honey from behind his ears to the tip
of his nose. 1t was running down his
black coat. When he couldn't reach
with his mouth he would thrust a long
arm down and scoop out a big pawful.
Such a feast, The best part of it was
there was actually more than he could
eat. That meant that there would be
more the next day. At least he
thought it did. When he couldn't eat
another mouthful he backed down that
tree. Such a looking bear you never
have seen.
THAT was d perfectly splendid
storm" muttered Buster as he tried
to lick himself clean. THAT was the
incest storm | ever knew. I wish my
stomach would hold more. | just can't
eat another mouthful. But anyway,
I'll have another feast tomorrow morn
ing. Just now I want to lie down."
Perhaps some of you small folk
know how Buster felt.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Hes All I've Got!"

Such pithul, deSpairing letters some
times come to me from older girls who
have wearied of the parties and good
times that mean so much to those of
| the f1apper period-and who are real
ly anxious to meet a nice, intelligent
! boy who will offer something more
than an evenings entertainment.
The burden of their despairing wall
| Is usually this: II have been going
| with this man for two years now.
Mimi, and he has many irritating
| habits which bother me a great deal
Truly we are not ideally mated. but
he seems fond of mel am not the
gay young fiapper l once was and
do so want some one to depend on
who will always be fond of me. If
l give him up what shall / do? know
no other men. The few / did know
have drifted away. and ! shall be all
alone. without man friend, and with
no chances of marriage. I don't think
he's the one man in the world for me
or anything like that, but he's all
I've got. I can't let him 60"
Truly a rather sad plight isn't it?
And ones first impulse would be to
write to this poor girl and tell her
to brace UP and marry the only suit
or-perhaps in marriage she would
find the happiness she Graves SO.
1t does seem rather d-hearted to
advise such a forlorn maiden to give
up the only masculine companionship
and fall back into the ranks of lonely
old maids.
But the truth Is that with this girl
as with most of the unhappy girls
who write on this particular subject
there Is too much of age. too little
realization that there are still 40 or
so years of life ahead of them-and
that for at least 10 years of that
they've q chance to look around and
find some really nice husband.
For most of these girls are only in
the late twenties-you'd think they
were hundred to hear them talk.
They're simply in the grip Of a
panic that seems to seize all girls at
the age of 27 or thereabouts.
They suddenly realize that they've
been going with one man pretty stead
lily while the other beauX have drifted
off-and they come to the conclusion
that they must marry this only suitor
-"he's all they've got"
Which is one of the reasons for so
many unhappy marriages.
A husband who is taken on simply
because he happens to be the only
prospect in sight won't hold very
much fascination for his WIFE
And what cup of unhappiness she
will drink in the next few years IL
chance throws In her way a nice man
"a really congenial man-whom she
realizes she might very we'll have
married.!
It's a bad business-this taking the
nearest man to hand, simply because
you're afraid to give him up and find
yourself lonely old maid.
Give him up before it's too late
fro CT
tive. Don't think that the battle is
all over, and the chances of victory
all gone, just because you're 81.
Throw over that old beau who really
doesn't interest you at all, except as
a sort Of meal ticket, and start look
ing around for something really nice.
Mimi will be glad to answer your love
questions. Just inclose stamped, ad-
dressed envelope for a personal reply.
