the Kid was out of the room and tear
ing down the cold old hall, and she
heard him yelling and calling for her
TO come quick.
She obeyed as fast as her old feet
would take her, and they crumpled
under her so that she sat down on the
first thing, which proved to be a sled,
the newest, reddest, shiniest sled
either she or the Kid had ever seen.
Then she came to. The ashes of a
burnt-out fire lay on the hearth; the
old room had comfortable lived-in
feeling, for all of its chill; the sun
came in the old windows bright with
the dazzle of the snow But she did
not notice all this, nor did the Kid.
They were spellbound before Christ
mas tree and a pair of long bumpy
stockings hanging from the old mantel
above the old fireplace:
At last when all the things lay piled
about them, with papers and strings
all over the floor, with the Kid trying
on new warm cap with hands clumsy
in new red mittens, she, stroking a
black and checkered shawl that could
be meant for no one but herself, like
the shoes and groceries lying around,

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE
ONION?

The onion has had rather cheCk
cred careers according to The Erogres
siye Grocer. It was barred by the
priests Of Pelisium because it caused
flow Of tears, hunger and thirst, and
was therefore, decidedly out of ylace
during fasts and other religious cere
monies.
The ancient Hebrews regarded the
onion as of great culinary value. The
Greeks are said to haven been very
fond Of both garlic and onions, the
latter often being used even while
drinking, to increase the thirst and
enhance the pleasure Of the cup. How
ever. in the old Roman days, each of
the. two vegetables was a1g9ly assoc
ciated with the rabble.
Had we existed at the time of the
ancient Egyptians, we probably would
have said, Second the motion! when
a ban was placed on onions, garlic
and leek that is, as far ass the odors
of them were concerned.

Then he fumbled tack from pocket

WHEN you BOB YOUR HAIR

Two things must be considered as to
bob. the type of the person and the
nature of the hair. Shingled hair is an
evil TO the woman with large, promi-
nent features; she is all face and no
head. The short, stout woman can
very rarely wear single; she needs
a thatch. Older women look better
with the single than any other cut,
because it looks more like close.
neat "coif.'
The bob has no age limit in connec
ton with it. 1t sets more beautifully
on the young, to be sure, but there's
no. ban on it fos the old except the
one of doing it stupidity. Some of the
most charming heads we know are
silver bobbed heads. In fact, it is so
chic in Paris to have silver hair that
many of the smart women wear sill.
yer transformations
Age has nothing to do with bobbed
heads but the nature of hair has. Hair
that is thin will never make an attrac-
tive bobbed head. Much better to
keep it long and drape it. Or hair that
grows badly, unalluringly at the nape
of the meek; keep it long and dress it
low. Or if the neck is too fat, or toe
thin, or very long, better not bob the
hair. Or il the back of the head is
very flat, no; keep the hair long and
wave it and dress it to hide the flat
ness.
The friendliest single is to have it
cut long on the sides SO as to cover
the ears. The line of the hair at the
side should follow the line of the chin
to the ear. If the hair grows so that
a point can be made in the center of
the back, have your barber cut it in
a point Paris isn't doing the point
much but it is more becoming to
American women, especially if they
are past their youth a lovely sloping
curve from behind the ear down to
the sharp little point Only abou: one
out of fifty women can have it, though
because the hair on most people
doesn't grow down in the center of
the back of the neck. If you can't
have a point, have a curve. Don't
have a straight line.
\ If woman has well shaped head
and the hair grows attractively in the
back and the neck is not too thin,
the hair is cut close to the head in
the back about al third of the way up
from the nape of the neck and from
there on tits longer. The whole aim
is to have beautiful line for the
back of the head that loneliness one
finds in the head of a young boy.

parents left off.
Some of them have even taken up
Old George Beasley's plant against
a new generation of youth. For
young folks in every, age have craved
color and frolic and freedom and ex-
pertinent and change. But always
they have ended by settling down
under the sober responsibility of run
ming the machinery of life.
Yes, the boys and girls of today
act and dress differently from their
parents and grandparents. But the
bobbed hair of the modern girl is but
an incident of youth, like the friz-
yes and spit curls OF another time
and generation.
There isn't anything elementally
wrong with the present younger gen
Grafton that wasn't sometime wrong
with all the preceding generations.
1t is just young and living in diff
ferent day that's all.

Christmas as period of good will,

about the same relative time of the

During the Saturnalia there was uni

permitted to take place AMI even the
slaves were granted the right to

Growers Claim Market Has
Been Stabilized

These organized Canadian wheat
growers are convinced that if their
pooling proves successful by the time
all of the 1924 crop has been disposed
of, that the movement will have done
more to stabilize wheat prices and
restore prosperity to the wheat areas
than all of the loan plans and politi-
cal efforts ever dreamed of.
1t is but a short step from the
wheat fields and grain markets of
Canada to those of the United States.
Success there, such as is indicated, is
sure to be followed here. because
even though there is a great differ
ence in the number of wheat growers
there and in the United States, the
Canadian movement has been on a
large enough scale to prove the plan
feasible with any number Especially
with positive proof of success ahead
to hold American membership in line
and true to the organization pledge.
