Canada to bid farewell to their king.
KING SOOTHES THEM.
When weeping and wailing com
menced in earnest, Kaslov waited a
few moment and then strolled among
the groups urging them to restrain
their grief, which then became more
vehement than before. The kings

profusely. Two other brothers leaned
against a wall while they lamented.

crew. Kaslov stood ut the ships rail
and said: Don't cry, my brothers

said he was carrying with him jewels
and costly raiment for his queen. He
is going to look for bride in Venice
because he considers the Italian city
romantic.

So UP to the gymnasium we went.
Bobby tried everything, and had
to laugh when he mounted the me-

the attendant turned on the electric
switch to start the horse into a trot.
Nov, I'll go for a gallop," shout
ed Bobby as another switch was
turned on to change the motion of
the horse.
"How would you like to try the
camel?" asked the man in charge.
Fine" said Bobby. and on to the
big leather seat, which was built to
initiate that of a saddle for camels
jumped Bobby.
"Whew." said Bobby, "but this does
twist you around" and then he
laughed as the powerful machine
twisted him around in tn" big saddle.
That's good practice for you, Bob
by" l said. Because you know
when you get to Egypt, you will be
riding on a real camel"
So every day Bobby went up to
the gym and practiced on the mechan-
ical camel.
We landed in Italy and took an
other ship across the Mediterranean
to Egypt.
We visited the Sphinx and the
Pyramids and then went on a trip
into the desert.
"Why, you ride fine" declared

the first time. "That old iron camel
on the ship taught you how, l do

Laura is going to look for her first
job tomorrow. and no martyrcd Chris
tian ever went with moro shrinking to
the lions than Laura to her Boss.
But why?" you ask. BOSSES aren't
so terrible as all that. Sometimes
they're a little grumpy, but it's easy
20 manage them If you use a little
sense"
I'll tell you why, dearie. Laura'S
Mama has been filling little Laura's
mind with DIRT. She doesn't call IT
that. She calls it loving caution"
and "wordly wisdom But in reality
it's the worst mess Of ignorance that
could possibly poison the human skull.
Always be on your guard, darling"
she warned. mo matter how polite

MEMBER THAT MEN ARE ALL
ALIKE. THEY ALWAYS GET THE
BEST OF A GIRL IF THEY CAN.
mo matter what kind Of man you
get for a boss, you'll have to watch
him every minute. No doubt he'll
start asking you personal questions.
That's the time you want to keep him
in place, precious. SHOW HIM
RIGHT FROM THE START THAT
YOU'RE NOT TO BE THRILLED
WITH
"And of course l hope don't need
to warn you against EVER going out
with your boss for lunch. No decent
girl would ever dream of doing such
thing - and no decent man would
dream of asking her.
You simply can't be TOO careful.
You never know when men like that
will try to start something
Etc, ETC., etc, etc.
THAT'S why 1S-ycar-old Laura
feels as if she were going into lions
len.
Does this seem an exaggerated pic
ture? 1t isn't. All over this big coun-
try today sweet girl graduates are
starting out to lok for their first jobs.
And for each sweet girl graduate there
are about 16 Aunts. Family Friends,
Grandmas, Doting Mamas and other
fluttering female advisers all primed
with aforesaid Septic Suggestions.
Is there any sense to such advice?
There are bad men to be found in
every walk of life, just us there are
bad women.
No profession or job has yet been
devised that will keep out skunks or
weasels. But if anything can cramp
the style of such an animal, it's the
rush and worry of an average bust
ness office.
The man who wants to make sue
cess of business in this day of hectic
competition has his job cut out with
out trying to date up every moon-faced
little moron that drifts into his office
looking for job. The picture of the
Big Chief taking an afternoon off to
lure his steno into eating a compro-
missing ham sandwich with him goes
heavy in the movies, but would be an
entire flop in any office where they
were doing real work. The devil him
self wouldn't have time to hand Mar
guerite any string of pearls with three
phones, five messenger boys and half
dozen statesmen yelling for his atten-
ton.
The chances are about 10000 to
one that Mama's Little Darling will
be about as much of a treat to her
boss as a new blotter or a box of paper
clips. And she may be regarded in
much the same light. Doubtless this
statement will be a shocking disap-
pointment to those ladies who have
their imaginatiOns all made up for
naughtiness, but it's true nevertheless.

Advice to the
Lovelorl,
The Indifferent Girl.
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l so about with a young lady of
whom l think a great deal. l believe
she cares a little for me. Neither her
parents nor mine seem to have any
objection to our going together.
Lately, she seems to be getting in
different. Recently l heard a friend
of hers say she likes me a great deal.
L am more than fond of her, and
her GOODNESS hurts. Will you please
give me some advice? +. J.
Your friend may be bit moody be-
cause of being tired out, run down
or worried over some matter of which
you know nothing. Continue to be
good and loyal friend, accepting glad
ly as much of her leisure as she &C.
cords you and proving your interest
by the little attentions all girls enjoy,
such as occasional candy or flowers.
But do not force your attentions if
she is inclined to prefer being alone.
You do not mention love in your
letter. so / assume that while you
are interested in her, your affection is
merely that of a good friend.
