ITO begin with. Orion was giant"
I stated. You know giants lived in
those days OF Greece. And Orion fell
in lore with beautiful princess,
named Hero. Her father was king Of
Chios. ...
"Now the king didn't think much
of this giant. He. thought he was
great awkward fellow and frowned
upon his attentions to his lovely
daughter.
"The king determined to break this
up. so he thought of a scheme.
THE king called Orion TO him one
day and told him that he could marry
his daughter. but that he had to do
something first to win her."
"I'll bet it was hard" said Bobby.

rid the kingdom OF all the fierce
beasts which ragged on the island Of

'Orion was very brave and loved
the princess SO much that he would
have risked anything. So he agreed
promptly to this plan. And before
the king could have time to think
Orion came back and said there wasn't
one beast left. This surprised the
king very much, because he thought Of

This made the king furious. He
broke his promise to Orion and what
is more he did a terrible thing. He
had him blinded. Some people say
that goddess Diana loved Orion, too.
aad was jealous of the princess Hero
and that it was she who blinded the
giant.
"At any rate, poor Orion lost his
sight. So he asked a blacksmith to
direct him to the best place to ssee
the rising sun. So the blacksmith
climbed up on Orion's back and took
him where the first rays Of the sun
would strike the giants sightless eyes.
And with the first strong rays Orion
recovered his sight.
when Orion died he was carried
to the heavens and it is his glittering
belt which you see shining there in
the sky-those three bright stars, the

"I'm certainly glad he got his sight

Gloves at Wedding.

Is it necessary to wear gloves when
the dress has short sleeves and veil
is worn? If so what kind, kid or
silk gloves?
2. Is it proper to wear kid slip,
pers? A READER.
A bride should wear long white
kid gloves if she considers that with
her formal dress gloves are necessary
to carry out the unity and harmony
of her costume. And usually gloves
are necessary.
2. White satin slippers are usually
worn. Satin gives a softer effect than
kid.

Lord Mountbatten Plays

Here's a ripping story, old thing.

Here's a ripping story, Old thing.
1t has for its hero His Royal High
ness. the Prince of Wales; for its
heroine, beautiful Mildred Harris. film
star; for its silk-hatted, handsome
"villain," Lord Louis Mountbatten,
cousin and chum of the prince, and

Ernest Brooks, formerly official
photographer to the prince, told it in
u national magazine. and when Mil
dred Harris, now Mrs. Terry McGov-
ern and out of pictures, heard of It
today she registered complete sur
prise.
1t seems, according to Mr.. Brooks
story. that while the prince was in
San Diego the mayor of that city ar
ranged for a photograph in which Miss
Harris was seated beside the prince.
But, it seems, the prince didn't know
she was Miss Harris, but thought
her to be the mayors niece.
And so. when it was discovered that
1t was Miss Harris with whom II. r.
II. had posed. there was no end Of
trouble. Mr.. Bill Nye, United States
secret service agent, acting as the
princes bodyguard, hurried out and
smashed the Photographic plate.
That night, Mr.. Brooks recites.
there was a ball at San Diego hotel
at which Lord Montbatten entered into
the story as the charming deceiver. y
As soon as the dancing began,
Mountbatten - the gay young bound

allowing her out of his reach nor with

Mr.. Brooks writes-Miss Harris.
flattered by the attention shown her
by the princes chum, revealed to him
how it had been arranged for her to
pose with the prince as the mayors
"niece," and to dance with him at the

Even greater in defeat than IN

If the forces that accomplished the
