ter, it's SOME storyl"
Sunday dinner was ready
when Ann Marie got home.
Mrs. Leezy. was ringing
the bell when Ann Marie
walked into the front hall,
and Howdy was coming
down the stairs, two steps
at a time.
He was fresh from a bath
and a shave. His black hair
had been "slicked" down
with water and pomade, and
he was wearing a Persian
silk dressing-gow that Flor
ence Lawler had given him
for a Christmas present.
"Hellol" He greeted Ann
Marie with cheerfulness.
There was nothing about
him now Of the frightened
Howdy who had come down
to the book store the night
before. 80" Trouble al
ways seems blacker and
more terrifying at night
than it does in the sunshine,
somehow or other.
But at the sight Of her
face, as she waited for him
at the foot of the stairs, he
became graye-eyed and sol
emn once more.

asked, and Ann Marie
nodded.
well, what did she have
to say3" he asked then.
1t didn't take long for
Ann Marie to tell him.
"She says that il you
don't marry her she IL go to
Florence Lawler and to Mr..
Lawler-and you II lose
your job" she said. "I'm
just sick about it,
To her amazement Howdy
took this piece of news with
great calmness. He shrugged
his shoulders.
"Oh, I guess she won't do
that" he made up his mind.
"She's just pulling a lot

coming up, she spied the
figure Of the little old lady,
grip in hand. As though on
wings, Myra sprang down
the steps, gathered the visi-
tor in her arms, smothered
her with kisses.
When they were seated in
the little living room, with
mothers things laid away
and her eyes looking ad-
miringly around Myra's
home, the visitor explained:
II got away as soon as
I could, Myra, but you see

before I could shut up the
house. Besides, the Ladies
Aid wouldn't listen to my
coming away before I'd seen
the opening of the county
fair. You know we have an
exhibit there and I did a lot
Of work for-it.''
"Then-theHi, " stammered
Myra, suddenly remember
ing the tragic loss, and
filled with wonder, "you
did get my letter-after
all"
"Why, Of course, dear, I
got your letter" exclaimed
Mother, looking puzzled for
a moment at the way Myra
had asked the question.

believe her ears. "Then you

"Twenty dollars9" cried
Myra in amazement.
"Of course said Mother.
"You really didn t need to
send me all that. Ten would
have been enough" !"
Myra, still filled with
wonder, put her arms around
the old lady again and
though she was smiling her
eyes were filled with tears.

True Story

"HE young man with a
q checkered cap pulled
low over his eyes and
.. long scar across his left
cheek paced up and down at
the south end of the subway
station, muttering to him
self. Partly concealed in the
palm Of his hand was a
lighted cigarette. He was
stealing a smoke as he
waited for "Spider" Jake.
The young man, known to
his cronies as "Bootleg"
Phil, was short of funds.
from Jake he expected to
borrow a five-spot.
A train pulled in. Phil
crunched the cigarette butt
under his heel and watched
expectantly. But the only
ones that .alighted were a
tOung couple. The youth
had q year-old baby in his
arms. The girl, bright-eyed
and very pretty. drew her
companion aside and began
to talk earnestly to him a.
the train pulled out.
Henry" the girl was
saying, "I'll 60 up to the
street now, do my market
ing here and take the trolley
back home. -
She reached into ther
handbag and drew out an
envelope. "Now here's the
letter to mother" she went
on. "The moneys inside,
it's sealed and stamped, but
when you get down town be
sure to get a special deliv-
cry and put it on. -
She started to hand the
envelope to Henry, but the
baby made a lunge for it
and nearly squirmed out of
his fathers arms.

be sending a bill in a letter

husband. It isn't safe,

A Warning to Spectators

The Better Business Bureau is not opposed to spec
ulation as such. ALI our organization sponsors and
urges is that the individual determine that he is
specializing not investing conservatively and that
he is getting an honest run for his money.
When the individual is speculating on securities
through disreputable and dishonest promoters and
brokers it is not likely that he will get honest
run for his money.

that when the clients of such places make money on
speculations the Office either disappears goes into

far preferable to wear rather too baggy trousers than run the risk of looking ridiculous in tight brooches that are likely to hamper the most elementary movements while ski ing or tobogeaning.

 For the sweater, l prefer, rather than the turtle neck, the high, snug fitting collar that can be un- fastened. 4 few minutes exercise in the snow are sufficient 10 make one very warm, and it is far more agreeable to be able to unfasten q collar than have to suffer discom- fort in a close fitting one.

sweaters as well as in by new Rus sian blouscs. Green combined with white or black, black and white or black. orange and yellow stripes look extremely effective with a black suit. l rather favor black and navy blue for the suit proper, but any other dark color can be worn il preferred. Green is good-so is q certain Bordeaux rcd---but they must always be a sombre shade. I use whipcord exclusively for all these sports ensembles.
 The choice of suitable headgear
 is somewhat of a problem. For the
 skiing enthusiast I think there is nothing more appropriate or afford 1 ing more protection than the Nor Wegian cap. This is invarably made
 of the same whipcord as the suit. For the woman who wishes to be suitably dressed in a winter sports 1 "deCor.' l have created caps made of broadtail that are very becoming and attractive. These appeared as a pleasing change from the woolcn
 cap, but the latter can look very smart when worn by the right type
 of woman.
