trees were springing up all about.
There were brushes and briars and
there was a ledge of rocks. This ledge
was partly underground and partly
above ground. Mrs. Coyote led Old
Man Coyote to this ledge of rock. Then
she trotted along the ledge. During the
day when jolly, round Mr.. Sun was
shining brightly, that ledge of rock
would be very dry indeed. No scent
would hold on that rock. Midway of
the ledge there was a break in it. Mrs.
Coyote lightly leaped across. Old Man
Coyote followed.
At the end of the ledge Mrs. Coyote
disappeared in a thicket. In the midst
of this thicket was the stump of a
great old tree. Between the spreading
| roots and underneath the stump, long,
long ago somebody had started a
house. Already Mrs. Coyote had
cleared out the rubbish at the en-
trance. This is where we are going
to live" said she.
Old May Coyote tried to look pleased,
but he didn't make much of a success
OF it. Mrs. Coyote saw this. She
grinned. II know" she said, that
you don't like it now, my dear, but
you're going to love it by and by.
| Now, suppose you go get me something
to eat while get right to work. And
whatever you do, my dear, don't take
any chances. just keep away from
those two-legged creatures called men.
Now do as l say, while 1 take charge.
| This is to be our new home and
you are going to say it is the finest
home you have ever had"
Old Man Coyote did his best to look
cheerful as he started off to hunt for
| food. Mrs. Coyote watched him out
of sight and then began digging. My,
| how she did make the sand fly, Every
once in a while she would pause to
rest. Whenever she did this she would
think of Old Man Coyote and grin as
| she recalled how hard he had tried to
look pleased. Then she would go to
work and dig harder than ever.
When Old Man Coyote returned, he
laid four meadow mice before her, and
while she ate them he went to look at
what she had been doing. THAT is
nice dry sand" he remarked.
Yes" replied Mrs. Coyote, cit is
nice dry sand. That means that we
will have nice dry bedroom, and that

have noticed it, but that old home of
yours was rather Damp
Old Man Coyote looked at the en-.

fault but he couldn't. There had been

never could be made any larger. No
one would ever dig it open to make it
larger. Once inside, they would be

of himself; If only he hadn't let HIM
self in for this thing!
Constance had remarked on Dor
othy's appearance.
"She was dressed entirely in gray,
and looked pretty, but slightly bored.
She seemed dazed when the Judge
made his decision"
Yes, she would. Tony could imagine
her as she had been when he had tele-
phoned. Lying among scented pill
lows and fancying herself the most
wronged person in the world.
Now that this was over there would
be all the business of getting a d.
vorce. When she started proceedings
raked up again.
That was a clever touch, "a butter
fly wife with a Peter Pan mind" 1t
so accurately described Dorothy.
Somehow Tony felt that she really
didn't love him any more than he
loved her. She had been bored with
life and had seized upon him as a
possible escape; that was all.
What a fool he had been!
Dorothy had fallen asleep and Lot.
tie had hesitated about waking her.
She looked SO innocent and childlike
lying among her pillows, and Lottte
was a sentimental soul.
So that when Tony arrived Dorothy
was still sleeping. Lottie reused her
with the news that Mr.. Mcclure was
in the living room.
She sat up rubbing her eyes child
ishly. And then she began to cry. She
had dreamed about Helen, the most
vivid dream. She sobbed out the
words to the sympathetic Lottie, who
leaned over her.
Lottie tried to soothe her. She
warned her about red eyes. She must
have her bath now and dress for the
evening. but Dorothy went right on
weeping. In despair Lottie went out
to tell Tony that Mrs. Wood was cry
ing and couldn't seem to stop. She
had been asleep and had dreamed
about the child. Would he come in
and see if he could do anything with
her?
Tony didn't want to go, and. yet he
found himself following the neatly
dressed maid into Dorothy's bedroom.
She was still sobbing into a small
handkerchief, her brown hair stood up
in small curls around her face. He
wanted to feel sympathetic, but he
was in a strange mood tonight. Per-
haps it was because for the first time
he had seen himself as he actually
was.
Dorothy looked up, saw Tony and
once more buried her face in the pill
lows. Her dream Of Helen was still
too vivid for her to feel any thrill
where Tony was concerned.

local treatments will assist nature.
Soak the nails in warm olive oil for
TO- minutes each evening, leaving it

The medallion style of decoration
for furniture is in high favor at the
present time. 1t is so pronounced a
vogue that it should be used with re-
serve, for there is tendency to be
too lavish in the use of these semi
conventional motifs. The term ''semi-
conventional is used because, while
the form of a medallion, whether cir
cular, oblong. square, oval, diamond
or notifications of these forms, is dis
tinctly geometric and conventional in
type, the decoration within the out
lines may be decidedly free hand" or
realistic. 1t is because the medallion
is so insistent and obvious that re-
straint in its use should be observed
and care taken in putting it on ar.
ticles suitable in style and type.
Another reason for this precaution
Is that medallion decoration is one
that can be handled attractively by
women who wish to do over old and
dilapidated furniture, and therefore
may be overdone. However, it is rec
commended for use with reserve on
both new pieces of furniture and
those being renovated.
Three Homemade STYLES.
There are three or more ways of
fashioning medallion ornaments that
can be utilized by woman who does
not have the ability to design and
execute them herself when ornament
ing furniture woodwork. This article
deals with the frames and wood of
furniture and not the upholstery fab

comanias. A second is to use motifs
from wall paper and a third is to ap-
ply motifs from fabrics, such as
printed cottons and linens.
DecalcOmania Medalli0ns.
Decalcomanias may require soaking
In water until moistened through, but
no longer, or they may require. to be
brushed with an adhesive preparation
before being applied. Great care must
be taken to press the decalcomania

and correctly centered or it will have
to be removed and another decalco-
mania used. When the piece of fur
niture has the motif or motifs on it,
the surface is gone over with a fine
varnish (eggshell varnish is advised),
which accentuates colors and protects
the decoration. Decalcomania medal
lions can be bought for this purpose.
Medallions From Wall Paper.
For wall paper medallion decoration
medallion motifs may be found that
suit sizes and color schemes desired.
Then the motifs are cut out, glued in
place and finished by painting over
=, with yarnish as described above; or
medallions may be made from motifs
cut from wall paper. The pattern for
the finished medallion should be cut
and duplicate made in tracing paper.
Lay this over the motif chosen, thus
insuring correct centering, and then
cover with the sitter paper and trace
| about it, Then cut it out carefully.
Applying MedaIIions.
Glue the medallion to the furniture
and finish as described. With very
| fine brush. go about the edges of the
medallion with burnt sienna or yellow
ochre oil paint before vanishing. If
the wall paper about the medallion has
other motifs or parts of them visible,
paint in a background of black, dark
green, old blue, yellow ochre Cf the
latter, use black for the outlining
colo) or some desired background tone.
Do this after the medallion is glued to
the furniture, and then finish with a
coat of varnish.
Fabric MedalIiOns.
| If fabric medallions are chosen the
material should not be heavy. Medal
lion motifs can be formed by carefully
cutting out bouquets of flowers, pot.
ted plants, wreaths of blossoms, etc,
from the cloth Tor from wall paper
and centering and arranging them
inside medallion pattern. Glue and
varnish after outlining the medallion
contour penciled on the wood.

Falling Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds-My hair is falling
out a great deal and / wish Won
would advise me what to do for it.
IL is very oily, and l wash it every
TWO weeks. Is that too often? Do
you think the oiliness is the cause of
the loss Of hair? MI X.
AnsWer-The excessive oiliness and
falling hair both are symptoms of an
unhealthy scalp condition. This may
be due as much to poor general health
as to incorrect local treatments. Twice
month is not too often to shampoo
the hair. Apply an astringent hair
tonic two or three times a week and
follow with a systematic massage
that covers every portion of the
scalp. Here is a suitable tonic to use:
One-half dram salicylic acid, 2 drains
tincture of cantharides, l dram tine
ture of capsicum, / ounce cologne
water, 2 ounces bay rum, ounces
distilled water. If your hair be-
comes very oily between washings
you may use a dry shampoo and then
polish each strand with a piece of
old silk. Besides these local treat
ments you must strive for physical
fitness; bring your weight up Tor
DOWN to normal. Please send "a
stamped self-addressed envelope for
my leaflet on Care of the Hair"
