that one side of the scarf is shown at

In making the scarf two different

Browns Bow Gets Bump.

The bumps of life may give some pain,
But through them knowledge you may gam
Farmer Browns Boy.
It had been a busy day in Farmer
Browns sugar camp. The sap had been
running freely into the pals on the
maple trees and it seemed to Farmer
Browns Boy that he must have
tramped miles that day in just going
from tree to tree to collect the sap
Late into the night the fire had been
kept going under the evaporator, and
when the last lot of maple sirup had
been drawn off into the shining new
cans and Farmer Brown had decided
that they had done work enough for
one day, it was with a little sigh OF
WEAKNESS, healthy WEAKNESS, that Far
mer Browns Boy climbed to the upper
bunk and into his heavy blankets.
Almost before his head touched the
rolled-up sweater, which was his pillow,
he was asleep. Usually he would lie
awake for little while. He liked TO
watch the Pickering shadows cast by
the diving fire. He liked to listen to the
sounds Of the night outside. Sometimes
in the distance he would hear the hunt
ing call of Hooty the Great Horned
Owl Sometimes he would hear nearer
at hand the eery tremolo Of little
Spooky the Screech Owl. More than
once he had heard the sharp whistle OF
surprise and wonder of Lightfoot the
Deer, and creeping from his bunk had
peeded out to see Lightfoot standing in
the moonlight gazing, half in curiosity
and half in suspicion. at the little house.
Once he had been startled by the
1f
crack under the door and When he had
leaped to the floor there had been a
loud "woof! woof!" Peeping out the
little window he had seen Buster Bear
numbering across the clearing. At the
farther side Buster had stood up to his
full height and gazed long at this place
from which came tantaliZing odorS OF
delicious sweets mingled with the hated
man smell Oh, Farmer Browns Boy
loved these nights in the sugar camp.
But this night he was too tired to
lie awake. Instantly he fell into deep
dreamless sleep. He was awakened by a
startling noise that caused him to sit up
with such suddenneSs that he bumped
his head hard against rafter, for that
little house was low in the caves and
there was not room to sit upright in
that upper bunk. "Ouchl" he cried,
rubbing his head Il saw stars that
time What was that?"
Farmer Brown, in the bunk beneath
him, chuckled. That was the getting
up signal. 1t is time to roll out, son.
We have another busy day ahead of
u.s. said he.
But I haven't been asleep five min
utes!" protested Farmer Browns Boy.
az -
What he was going to say will never
be known, for at that instant the noise
that had awakened him and caused
him to bump his head was repeated
andsit was quite as startling as it had
been the first time. It was as if some

trousers and sweater and went outside.
1t was daylight even If he did think
he had been asleep only five minutes.
He rubbed his eyes and then looked up
at the smoke pipe, which was piece
of stove pipe that did service as CHM
ney. At first l. saw no one. Then
rat-a-tat-tat sounded again, and NOV
ing so that he could see the other side
of the smoke pipe he discovered a per-
fectly happy drummer with his head to
one side, as if listening for the effect
of his long roll on this perfectly Won
derful drum. 1t was Taper the Sap
su -ker. Yes, sir, that is just who it
was.
Farmer Browns Boy ruefully rubbed
the bumps on his head and then with a
somewhat sheepish grin, went back in
to help get breakfast.

TALL, slender writing, such as this
Is, generally indicates a rather
reserved nature. Conceivably
l. the writer finds difficulty in ex-
pressing her emotions. Though
she may feel things very keenly, sne
perhaps seldom displays these inner
most feelings. This tendency may per-
haps make her very nervous. II she
could relieve herself of her pent-up
emotions. she would probably be more
peaceful and content.
The elongated dot of the 81" sug-
gests that she may emphasize the per-
sonal side of questions too strongly.
She may find it hard to consider prob
lens in a detached way. This apparent
habit of injecting her personal view
point would necessarily make impartial
judgments impossible.

is probable that she is very well edu-
Gated and. therefore, interested in ma
tional and worldwide problems. She
may enjoy the work of women's or
ganiZations At this time, when poll
tics holds the center of attention, she
might like to join one of the women's
political groups. There are many op-
portunities open for really intelligent
women in this type of work.
She may, perhaps, have to overcome
slight reserve when with strangers.
By forcing herself to be her most
gracious self she will soon develop the

be pleasant and well liked companion

HE RUBBED HIS EYES AND THEN
LOOKED UP AT THE SMOKE PIPE.
one was beating a long r3t-a-tat-tat on
an empty sirup can, and it echoed and
reechoed through the little sugar house.
A second time Farmer Browns Boy
bumped his head.
Great Jehosephat! What is that?"
he exclaimed.
Farmer Brown laughed aloud. Just
what I told you, son, the getting-up
signal he said. I'VE have a new as
sistant to waken us up with the coming
of daylight. He doesn't intend that we
shall oversleep. If you will step outside
and look up on the smoke pipe have
an idea you may see him"
Farmer Browns Boy slipped on his
