Charles Dickens and Bob Fagin

s&A1&&&@~s @>AS@@Se@S
Charles Dickens, when about
eleven years old, found work in q
blacking warehouse at Old Hunger
ford Stairs, overlooking the
Thames river, in an unsavory part
Of London. His work there con-
sisted In covering the pots Of paste
backing, first with a piece OF oil
paper and then with blue paper.
After that he tied them with q
string, clipped the paper neatly all
round and fastened printed label
to each pot Of backing.
''You don't like 1t here over
much, do We, now?" the boy who
worked beside him said one day.
mo, / don't like it." was
Charles reply.
The boy-his name, was Bob
Fagin-grinned and shrugged one
shoulder; he was a large, heavily
built boy with coarse features.
"That's cause you're gentleman J"
he remarked with a wink at Pol
Green, one of the other boys who
worked in the big warehouse. "You
look pale, sort of. Maybe you've
worried about somethin', Ell? May
be you've got secret ]"
Charles continued to paste his
labels in silence.
All that Bob Fagin had said was
true. Charles was not strong, and
the work that he was doing only
served to increase his i'll health.
He was also tortured by the
thought of his father who was In
debtors prison. He had spoken to
no one about it; pride kept his lips
tight shut on the subject. That
was his secret.
Later in the day, just as he was
applying a label to one of the pots,
he uttered a startled cry and
pressed his hand against his side.
''HoT cried Fagin, running to
him. Heres a go! The lads In
pain"
With some Of the straw that COW
cred the floor of the workroom he
made a bed for his suffering com
panion.
''Now, lad" said Fagin, "you're
still weak, and you need help. If
you should try to 60 home alone,
you'd likely fall before you were
halfway there. Tell me where you

I'll see that you get safe home to
your father, WILL"
Charles felt a warm flush over
spread his cheeks. Homel He had
no home, only an attic room in q
miserable lodging-house. If Bob
Fagin accompanied him he would
be sure to discover the truth: that

last. "I'm sure I can reach home
alone"
"And I say you can'tr the other
repeated. II guess I'm not going
to let you start off alone"
Charles cheeks burned like fire.
There seemed to be no way out OF
It; he must permit Bob Fagin to
accompany him. But he was still
resolved that he should learn moth
ing.
Night was closing In when he
and Fagin left the warehouse to-
gether. Up one street and down
another they walked in the grow
ing darkness.
"You live long way of, don't
your" Fagin said at last.
Charles nodded. He did not tell
his friend that they were merely
walking afmlessly about the city.
Finally Charles stopped in front
of a strange house. Thanks !" he
said In a nervous trembling voice.
"I-Pm greatly obliged to you.
Bobw and he ran up the stairs of
the house and rang the bell.
A servant came to the door and
frowned down upon the boy.
"What is it you want?" the servant
demanded.
Charles glanced nervously over
his shoulder; Bob Fagin had dis
appeared round the corner. He
swallowed hard.
"Wellr inquired the servant ir-
ritably.
"Does-does Mr.. Bob Fagin live
here" the question seemed to leap
from the boys lips, unbidden.
"Ne!" And the door closed with
q bang.
Charles turned and quickly de-
scended the steps, whence he made
his way to his miserable little at
tic room. He had kept his secret

flannel suit and wear either
coat or trousers separately so
that he gets many changes out
Of one suit.
Variety Plus Economy
Here's a good example of this.
Buy a gray flannel suit. which
will do for business. Then wear
the trousers with a reddish
brown tweed coat which is new
and smart, and also wear the
gray coat with white flannel
trousers or stripped flannel
trousers. This gives You four
changes with your gray flannel
suit, and it is an economical
way to plan your wardrobe. It
also limits the amount Of your
baggage if you are travelling, as
well as the expense. incidentally
the most correct flannel suit
this year is double-breaSted, and
gray is the most popular color,
either medium or light. The
single-breasted suit is equally
popular, however.
Plain or Striped Trousers
Separate coats are good in
gray, reddish brown, navy and
tan. and a light weight camel's
hair sports coat is smart. If
you wear striped trousers with
your odd coat. have the stripe
in the color Of the coat. White
flannel trousers are returning
and are very smart. Flannel
trousers are worn in gray and
tan also, and the combination
Of reddish brown coat and gray
trousers is a newly popular
one. Flannel slacks, which are
long trousers with a higher
waist line. are particularly good
now for golf in place of knick-
ers. We have had Sketched a

brothers costume. And, believe
you us, she likes it.
Shorts and Shirt
A pair of shorts in khaki,
linen, crash, or poplin. A tuck
in shirt of the same. That's a
costume any youngster can
have a good time in. It's
fashionable and it's practical.
Easy to launder, much easier
than the usual girls costume of
skirt and blouse. Saves wear
and tear on petticoats or
bloomerS.
OF course, there is a differ
ence between the boys shorts
and the girls. Shorts for girls
are more apt to be pleated and
fuller. But they're just as COM
Portable.
Light Sweaters
The pull-on sweater of light
weight knitted wool is just as
much in playtime fashion as
ever. especially for days that
are cooler. But a welcome
change is the basque striped
sweater shirt of knitted cotton.
That's the one where the half
inch stripes go round and
round.
Of course there are lots of
small girls who'll always look
better in skirt than they will
in boyish shorts. And the short
pleated skirts of khaki, sturdy
cottons and flannel are favor
ite summer fashions. MILDLY

tons. You can see in the sketch
that they look much like bigger
sisters beach overallS, but as
tually they're heavier and more
suited to roughing it.
Every boy likes to pull on a
pair of sailor pants occasionally.
So does a girl. Hers will be
fuller than her brothers though,
and she'll wear them on the
beach more than she will in
the back yard. if she's fash
ionable.

(Continued from Page 1.)
 France was deeply touched when President Hoover invited me to visit him. She realized that this gesture was not alone the expression of an old and tried friendship between our great de- mocracies but that the American government had turned to her be- cause in the midst of widespread disturbance she remained sound.
 If you should traved through our countryside, if you should wis., it our farms. if you could better know the hard and patient labor of our farmers. you would under stand France. You would become convinced that she has preserved this robust constitution through hard work and the ability to save.
 Whether 1t be our workmen or our artisans--they are guided by the same ancestral spirit. These are the qualities which make our ancient land a harmonious and well-balanced whole.
 Moreover, this sense of balance shields us from the absurd accusa- ton that is sometimes directed against us that we seek to exer. else any form of domination in Europe.
 France Is peace loving. Our history, our past both impose pru- dence. We do not wish to im- pinge in the slightest degree upon the dignity of any other nation. Our only desire is peace. But we act great store by our security.
