Thus she suggested Junior Country club tO save the younger set of Red Thrush Iowa, from utter boredom. It was to bo exclusive = no parents, no ba- bles. Accordingly Ginger, whose father was q minister but whose step mother, the former PHIL VAN DOORN, was both wealthy and in- dulgent, purchased the Mill Rusl, farm, . 1O-acrc tract with an old bouse on tt, which she proceeded. with the assistance of her friends, to overhaul and furnish.
 Red Thrush seized the idea with enthusiasm. The younger set would paint Iowa nights n deep rose rcd One day, while the rclla bilitatiOn of the club house was going on, an ar- offered to do portrait Of Ginger in exchange for meal. Alter he had shaved off his beard, Ginger found to her amazement that he was both young and good looking And he had talent. He had studied in Paris, and his name was BARD HOLLOWAY.
 Ginger, never at loss for ideas, thought it would be good one if Hard remained while fin Rcd Thrush. She would sec that he got enough commissions for portraits. which would he better than hobOing through the country. and he could do the mural decorations at the new club house. So, very clcvcrIy, she got her stepmOthcr to prevail on Bard to accept an invitation to stay at the Tollivers', and with this ac- cOmplished she took him tO Mill Rush and got him started on the decorations.
 Bard thought "JOic de Vivre" would be good name for the club. It was adopted. And he thought it would he splendid if they could i'm. port NICOT.O CALLENO from Chi cago. For NicolO was handsome and hc could cook and sing and strum q guitar. He would make picturesque addition to the club. He would bc a knockout on the opening night, for which . dinner dance was planned. So he sent for Nicolo. But on the morning of the dance there arrived at the Tollivers not one Latin youth, hut what seemed an army of them.

WHEN CHILDREN CRY

CHILDREN often cry for no > apparent reason. Many times we can't guess what is wrong. The crying may mean touch of collie; the little bowels may be sluggish-or some other upset. It may mean any of the common little ailments that children suffer. To bring quick comfort to your little one, give few drops of Castoria. Most upsets of children arc soon soothed away by this pleasant tasting remedy that children all love.
 In five million modern homes, Castoria is a mothers first thought when a child is out of sorts, feverish, cross, doesn't cat right or sleep right. When bad breath, coated tongue, or languor tells of constipation. These five million wise mothers know that children should never be given stronger medicines meant for the fully developed systems of grown-ups. Castoria is gentle-safe, yet always thorough and effective for child of any age. It may be given to the tiniest infant for any little upset. When buying, look for the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher on wrapper.

IHo btTduSSTS Olu not IISLeH. Iney had letter to come to Red Thrush, they had taken the cab at the sta ton as instructed and it had brought them to this house. Before them they perceived an open door, which was symbolic of the welcome they had anticipated.
 They surged noisily forward, Try, them back.
 But when Ginger and Bard ran bravely down the flagstone path the defonse yielded and a wave of laughing, gesticulating, joyous Ital- ian engulfed them. Bard planted himself between the onrush and the astonished Ginger.
 "See here!" he demanded. "What doss this mean? Where did you come from? Where is Nicolo?"
 They shouted loud explanations in cheerful Italian proffering a letter, tho very letter which had brought them hither, and which would ex- plain all. But it was only Bard's 8 own letter to Nicolo and explained nothing.
 When he protested his unwilling ness to accept it as a. card of admis- sio0b AI dPpCdACu thcy kucW HO EDR- fish, but Italian only. that they had come by the letter. and ended with q trip1icate of the telling Mediter- ranean shrug which says so much.
 Bard was implacable. "You can't speak English? Then we don't want you. Back in the car with you take them to the train, Iry-ship them right off to Chicago" he or dered hotly. We don't understa nd Italian.
 Thus driven into corner. 1t de- veloped that they knew a little Eng fish and if given time and patience could perhaps succeed in making themselves faintly understood. And in few surprisingly worded and grammatical sentences they ex- plained that Nicolo could not come. that he had a. job, q very good job, in speakeasy which the union did not control.
 Not being able to accept the invi- tation himself. he had generously passed it on to them. his particular chosen and bosom friends and boon companions.
 But why three of you" ejacu- lated the badgered artist. We only wanted one!"
 No matter! He could have three for the price of one. Were not six hands better than two? They were boon companions, they could not be separated and as proof they em- braced oen another.
 They wished to see the country, they had never before heard of Iowa. they needed q change from Chicago. They would sleep three in one bed and work all for the price of one.
 There's plenty of room in the attic" whispered Ginger. eager to relieve Bard of the terrific respon- sibility thus thrust upon him.
