Touchy Toes
NOBLE, nine last birthday, nm

MoLLIE, nine last birthday, ran
into her mothers room. Her
black hair was touselled. Her
round cheeks were flushed.
Mamma" she said, Il won't
play with Maud anymore"
Her mother put the napkin she
was embroidering back into the
workbasket and gave Mollie her I'M
divided attention. She is a polite
mother. She says children should
not be exempt from courtesy. She
smoothed the tangle of black hair.
"What's the matter, dear?" she
said. IL thought you and Maude
were such good friends"
ave were. But no more. Maud

eyes. I said that l liked blue
Astter than any other color. And
that / don't like pink at all. She
said you only say that because
there is pink in my apron. I said
that her apron is mostly blue and I
didn't see the pink checks. But
she made a face at me and ran
home l don't want to play with
her anymore, Mammal"
"You should be careful about
what you say, Mollie, so that you
will not hurt anyones feelings. Now
run away and play"
Mollie's mother took up the en-
broidery needle again and stabbed
the white linen of the napkin.
"Poor baby" she sighed. "She is
learning what it hurts the rest of us
to learn when we grow older. The
president Of our club, for instance,
has symptoms of being a touchy

membership. / am chairman of the
membership committee. She sent

"Harvey House Indians"

Later on she started to cry be-
cause she hadn't received last weeks
shipment Of Indian baskets from a
mail-order house.
The office force was so busy that
they hadn't had a chance to look
up her credit.
Hundreds of these railroad In
dams are now buying their baskets
and pottery on the installment plan.
The majority of the redskins are
civilized, but the high prices keep
some of them wild.
With the amount Of powder and
paint that the modern girls put on,
it's hard to tell the Indians from
the tourists.
In fact, the Indians have come to
be known as "Palefaces.
Put a blanket and a pair Of moe
casins on a Brooklyn flapper and
you couldn't tell her from a squaw.
The Santa Fe railroad is popular
because the tourists like to look at
the Indians, but the Indians have
twice as much fun looking at the
tourists.

in an application for a woman who,
the members believed, would dctract
from the influence of the club. l
won't mention names but will tell
you that the woman drinks. She
drinks so much that l have seen her
three times in public places, obvious
ly under the influence OF liquor.
Everyone on the committee knew her
habit. There was a conscientious
discussion of the matter. One of us
was delegated to explain to the pres
ident why her application was re-
jected. 1t was for the good of the
club.
1.-The president was very angry.

but feel that it would react badly

business has been so good this
- summer that the officials of
the Santa lie railroad can't find
enough Indians for all their sta
tons.
Most Of the redskins have joined
the union.
They want more money and short
er hours.
They refuse to sit around the de-
pot and look dumb for two dollars
and a half day.
The Indians also want Saturday
afternoon off. After being bundled
up in blankets all week, they like
to get a chance to put their golf
clothes on.
One squaw said she was trying
to save enough money to get back
to her home in Newark, n. ].
Her chum, an old Indian Of 81,
said she was sorry that she ever left
Philadelphia.
The manager Of the Harvey House
baWled her out the other day for be-
ing rude to a tourist. She said, Il
couldn't help it, / was waiting for
a long distance telephone call from
my brother in Chicago"
