Monica was both kinds! There
was nothing too large or too
small for her. She wanted every
thing she saw. She had the "gim-

"Gimnree this, GIMME that! was
her slogan!
Tonight Bobbie watched her as
her blue discontinued eyes went
up and down the menu at the
Montmartre Restaurant. She
turned up her nose when she
had looked 1t over.
Nothing looks very good to
me" she drawled, f1inging the
card down on the table. What
are you going to eat, Bobbie?"
Now, when Bobbie went out to
dinner with man she usually
thought Of his pocketbook and she
did not order a very costly meal.
If the man wanted to order ripe
olives, and celery stuffed with
Roquefort CHEESE, and hearts of
artichoke salad for her, himself,
that was his business.
So she said. looking up at
Monica: "Oh, I don't want much
to eat. A steak sandwich and
some coffee is all I want"
Monica widened her eyes at her.
'Is that ALP" she asked with the
airs of a grand duchess, who

Roy asked her, as the waiter
stood at their table, pencil in
hand: 'It'll take a hundred years
for them to get all that stuff
ready"
"oh. no It won't" said Monica
sweetly. and waved the waiter
away.

holding out his glass to her. Gosh,
but it's nice and snug up here.
What do you say to our going
over to Marchetti's for some raw

But Monica shook her head
with its blue-black scallops of
hair, and her bright blue eyes
snapped between lashes that were
loaded with some kind of black
oil.

she cried. I'm all dressed up

So just write that on your cuff"
Roy laughed. Eyes, I can see
that you're all dressed up" he
said drily.
Anyone, with half an eye, could
have seen that. For Monica, in

She snapped the buttons of her

enormous beaded bag over her
arm, and a great white fox scarf
around her slender shoulders.

great satisfaction. Il guess I'm

JOHN WALLACE BUYS LUSK
STEERS AT $16O EACH

The record price for Niobrara
county cattle is believed to have
been broken at Lusk last week
when Henry PETE. local stockman
sold 126 head of 4 and 5-year-old
steers to John d. Wallace, a cat
tie buyer from Sheridan, for an
average price of $3.50 per head.
The deal was closed by George
Saffel, who negotiated the sale be-
tween Mr.. PETE and Mr.. Wallace.
The steers are some of the finest
ever turned out in this section of
the state, and several buyers have
tried to make a deal for them, but
Mr.. Petz would not sell until he Sc
cured his price. The steers will be
shipped to the Chicago market.

POWELL MAN WRITES
ENTERPRISE LONG LETTER

The Enterprise received last week
a very long. and interesting letter
from j.. j. Champlin, a Powell resi-
dent, who has many friends in the
Cody community. The letter comes
from Faulkton. South Dakota.
where Mr.. Champlin is visiting at
his old home, and where he is as
sisting with a most bounteous har-
vest while visiting with home folks
and old friends.
Mr.. Champlin describes his mo-
tor trip east as a most interesting
and delightful one. Indicating in
his letter that it gave him a much
more comprehensive knowledge of
Wyoming's vast domain and re-
sources. He also passed through
that important place, Rapid City,
where our President, Calvin Cool
idge is keeping cool nowadays, and
on through that part of South Da-
kota where many of the Indian
wars took place in the develop
ment of the Western frontier.
1t is a pleasure to read the let
ter from Mr.. Champlin and were it
not that lack of space makes it
impossible we would publish the
letter in its entirity in The En-
terprise.

OPERATION EARLY NEXT WEEK

The American Milling company
will commence the operations of it's
alfalfa meal mills at Powell and
Garland early next week, according
to the local superintendent L. B..
Burger, say the Powell Tribune.
They aim to operate for two or
three weeks. taking care of three
or four hundred tons of the new
second-cuting hay from the wind
row.
The rainy weather of the past
two weeks has greatly held up the
cutting of the second alfalfa crop.

Playground Seen as
Aid TO Child Welfare

More and more the great nations of
the world are acting upon their reali-

ture citizenry depends upon the wei
fare of the children of today and that
fresh air and exercise are important
factors in the development of healthy
children.
Those who best understand the
problems of child welfare realize the
necessity of Fairgrounds for the chill
tiren of the cities and are leading the
movement to preserve these plots of
ground for the children.

Cradles, In their earliest form, were
merely logs, scooped out to form more
or less comfortable resting places for
babies. They were without rockers,
since the natural shape of the logs
made their use unnecessary. Cradles
have varied with different modes of
living and reflect in their diversity OF
form and adornment the progress of
the cabinetmaker's art. The Romans
are said to have used cradles of con-
siderable refinement. but after the de-
cline of the empire, accompanied as
it was with the decay Of living, the
cradle, with other furniture forms, as
sumed a crude and humble aspect.
One of the early forms of the cradle
was the oaken chest without lid.
Baskets of osiers were sometimes
used, in which the child. wrapped in
swaddling clothes, was placed. The
American cradle Of oak in the Metro
politan museum In New York dates
from the early Seventeenth century.
