Wisdom.

| Helen was wise In the ways of men
| Shed had dozens of boy friends, and
| being, a clever girl. she'd doped out
| lot of things about them.
She knew all about their various
| little tricks--their pet vanities. she
could often fathom their motives for
doing things, where a less cagy girl
would have wondered.
Yes, she was wise to men, but she
wasn't wise enough to keep quiet
about her knowledge.
She let the boys know definitely
ust how well she understood them
and in doing that she made them
afraid of her, scarced them off with
her calm, superior knowledge of the
inner workings of their minds.
John met Helen at a dinner party
and fell for her. But he was a shy
sort of kid and dreaded having his
secret found out.
So he made elaborate excuses the
next day about why he did not want
TO play golf-and his unsuspecting
host and hostess went. leaving him
alone with Helen.
When they had gone the fair lady
looked at her knight errant and
laughed softly.
You fraud" she giggled Don't
you think l know why you didn't
want to play golf?"
1t made John Observation-Disclosures
izing that this girl was fully aware
of the hit she'd made with him. He
didn't mind her knowing, so much
but somehow he resented her talk
ing about it SO openly. 1t sort of
spoiled things. She would have been
wiser TO keep quiet about it.
- S,.-
that bit of wisdom on Helens part
rather queered the budding romance
which started out so beautifully
Then there was Lester. who loved
Helen, and who, realizing that her
birthday was approaching, began to
hesitate and tumble and ask questions.
Did she like evening bags? Or were
ostrich fans more in her line? Helen
admitted that she adored evening bags
and fans.
Thereafter Lester was increasingly
mysterious-especially when they
passed shop displaying evening bags.
few days before her birthday he
told Helen that he was sorry, but he
hadn't been able to think OF thing
to get her-would she mind Just a few
candies and flowers?
Helen said she wouldn't mind And
then on the birthday evening the
heavy sutton strobe in bearing a gor.
geous rhinestone evening bag and a
scarlet feather fan that fairly
shrieked of money.
He simply beamed. with pleasure. If
Helen had had a grain of real wis
dom she would have registered utter
amazement. But she was intent on
displaying her canny knowledge of the
stronger sex, SO she laughed tolerant

characterized velvet. The old sort OF
taffeta was worn only when bout
FAINT frocks were in fashion. 1t suf.
fered eclipse when clinging drapery
came into vogue. But at present you
may find tatfeta that is almost as

Old time MORE was a fabric with a
decidedly heavy body. 1t could be
used only for closely fitted bodices or
formally boutfant skirts. Using 1t for
any sort of draped effect was out of
the question. But that stiffness was
not the essential quality OF MORE and
none of the charming watered effect
has been lost now that MORE OF me

MORE has come into fashionable
prominence not only for formal aft
ernoon frocks but for evening wear
as well, and there IL no type of eve
ming gown smarter at the present
time than the one IF untrimmed
MORE. A gown OF this sort stands
out In striking contrast to the gilt
tering gowns of lame or georgette and
net frocks weighted dow with in
tricate designs of beats end sequins.
Even the shoemakers appreciate the
of MORE and they find a
decided demand among smart women
for simple evening slippers made of
MORE to match the frock with which
they are worn. Slippers of this sort
or trimmed only with a
very small rhinestone ornament are
coming to the fore III Paris, where
smart women are becoming weary of
glitteling slippers of gold and silver

Scientists tell us that physically
mankind is going backward, not ad-
vancing. 1t is easy to believe that
this opinion is correct when one
notices the poor posture or ungainly
figures of many of the people one
sees on the street. Some are far too
stout, others are pathologically thin,
while most of the remainder have
round shoulders, curved spine, fat
feet or double chins. Yet there is a
steadily growing interest in physical
fitness, which l believe will turn the
tide away from deterioration before
it is too late.
Most girls and women admire the
ideal feminine figure, but they do not
know just how TO make themselves
over to conform to it. The point of
greatest deviation from the ideal is

usually in the hips. A girl who is
otherwise we'll proportioned and whose
weight is correct, often finds that a
sedentary life has made her hips
spread. Rigid dieting makes her thin
in face and arms without improving
her figure. The solution to this com
mon beauty problem Is hip-redIcing
exercise done faithfully and vigor-
ously for at least 20 minutes day.
In addition, the girl whose hips are
too wide should make it an invaIiable
rule never to ride in street CIR or
other conveyance when it is possible
to go on foot.
Here are a few special exercises for
reducing fiabby hips, abdomen and
muscles:
Exercise squat down with knees
spread out sideways. heels together
and hands on the floor in front of you.
Without moving your hands take a
quick jump and throw the feet apart
about IS inches. Now hop back to
starting position with heels together.
Repeat hoppings 10 to 20 times. Rest.

idea that | shall not be bothered by

so Whitefoot possessed himself with
patience and kept watch. 1t required
a lot of patience, but nothing is worth
having that isn't worth waiting for.
So when at last he saw Chatterer
poke his head out and look hastily
but carefully In all directions, and
then scamper off just as fast as his
legs could take him. Whitefoot
promptly hurried over and into that
big stump Now" said he, u will
live in peace for a while anyway"
But first Whitefoot had to make
his bed over. Chatterer had torn that
bed all to pieces. MY, N.Y." said
Whitefoot, what a temper that fell
low hast My. my. my, my. It's a
dreadful thing to have a temper like
that" You know, Whitefoot himself
has no temper at all to amount to
anything.
1t all came out just as Whitefoot
had thought 1t would. Chatterer the
Red Squirrel did not come back.
There were other things to take his
attention. Besides, he didn't want
to be where there was any chance
of Terror the Goshawk coming
Whitefoot himself kept watch and
though he saw Terror several times,
Terror did not see him. No one else
of whom Whitefoot was afraid came
that way. So he lived in peace, with
plenty Of food in his storehouse down
in the hollow root Of the old stump
and nothing much to worry about.
The result was that Whitefoot began
to grow fat. The surest way of get
ting fat is to have a peaceful mind.
If you want to grow thin, worry.
Meanwhile, Chatterer had forgotten
all about Whitefoot. He had other
things to think about. In the first
place, one of his storehouses had been
discovered by some one and broken
into. 1t wasn't thar he needed those
nuts. lie didn't. He had plenty of
nuts and acorns and seeds stored away
80 last him all Winter But those
nuts were his and ne didn't like the
idea that any one else should have
them. So he started out to find out
who had robbed his storehouse. He
was sure that 1t was either his cousin.
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, or
Rusty the Fox Squirrel. SO he was
spending every spare minute watch
ing these two. il wasn't a nice
cousinly feeling at all that Chatteref
had.

CHAPTER XIII.
In the Mountains.

MARK planned to start early, be-
AVA fore Jessica was up. He loaded
the things Mrs. Morse had purchased
for her into the back of the small
sedan and he picked up Mrs. Morse
herself at the railroad station. With
good luck, he figured, they would be
in New PaltZ about | o'clock. 1t was
not a. long run. But from New Platz
on they would have to follow a noun
tain road. AS he thought of 1t the
blood began to sing In his veins.
He was excited at going back. He
had always loved his place in the
mountains. And the Shawangunk
range had a strange fascination for
him. There was nothing green or
verdant about them. They stretched
out stark and primitive and silent and
mysterious. He was glad to be going
back.
Mrs. Morse was not a talkative
woman, which made 1t easy for him
to make time. They reached New
Paltz before / and stopped before the
one small hardware store that the vii
lage possessed.
With perfect eduanimity Mrs. Morse
accepted the bills Mark handed her
and vanished into the store. Within
a very short time she emerged, fol-
lowed by two clerks bearing kitchen
ware, mops, a large pail and a broom.
These were piled into the back of the
car.
They drove to the grocery store
next and purchased supply OF canned
things, flour, coffee and a side of
bacon.
Then with that excitement still tin
Cling In his veins, Mark drove out of
the village and into the mountains.
The shack was apparently just as he
had left it. 1t was built of logs and
was set within radius Of four tall
pine trees. There was a mountain
stream not far from the house, and
while Mrs. Morse went inside to in
vestigate, he strolled down to the
water.
He could see fish darling about in
the crystal depths of the icy water
and he longed to have a rod in his
hands. Perhaps this experiment
wouldn't be so bad after all. Strange
that his travels had made him forget
how much he loved this kind of
thing.
After time he returned to the
house and found that Mrs. Morse had
already taken charge. Inside the
cabin there was one large room, with
three small bedrooms at the back.
The kitchen was lean-to affair, and
Mrs. Morse was busy there cleaning
out old debris. She looked up and
