of them was very fast. Reddy knew at
once that he would have to find safe
retreat, and that quickly, for in his
weakened condition he could not for
the second time that day make long
and successful run. In one thing at
least his good fortune continued-he
knew where he was. Yes, sir, he knew
just where he was. He, was dashing
through the Old Orchard. That road
the sled had been following passed
Farmer Browns, and it was at the edge
of the Old Orchard that those hunters
had stopped the sled.
Through the Old Orchard raced
Reddy and behind him raced the two
dogs, baying in eager exsitement. Over
in the farm house BoWser the Hound
and Flip the Terrier were barking in
great excitement and scratching on the
back door to be let out and join in
the hunt. Running after the dogs came
the three hunters. They had not shot
at Reddy because he had caught them
by surprise when he leaped from the
sled, and by the time any of them had
recovered sufficiently to think of shoot
ing Reddy was too far away.
Reddy knew that he couldn't reach

hand. He headed straight for Farmer
Browns dooryard. He knew by the
sounds that Bowser and Flip were in
the house, SO there was nothing to fear
from them. Perhaps he could find
shelter under the barn. Anyway, it
seemed his one chance. Out of the
Old orchard into the yard he raced,
and there was the barn door open just
wide enough for him to squeeze through!
He didn't even notice Farmer Browns
Boy standing close by. He made
straight for that opening.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE w. sPRoWLs.
Mental Conflicts.

Ever since Freud brought out his
doctrine Of mental conflicts, many
persons imagine their so-called un-
conscious mind is literally teeming with
conflicts. They live a life beset with
false fears. Some of these terrible con-
nlcts might pop up out of the uncon-
Sclous most any time! And then the
jig is up. They must find the nearest
psychoanaliSt. And quickly, too!
The whole doctrine of conflicts is un-
fortunate.
Conflicts? OF course, We all have
our conflicts. Normal life would mean
nothing If we didn't. But the vast
majority Of our conflicts originate not
IN some vague unconscious part of the
MIND, but right out in the open of
our everyday conscious thoughts. The
next time you experience that mental
oafhement called a conflict" try to
md out what it's all about Nine times
out OF 10 your so-called conflicts are
nothing more than excuses for not do
Ing something you ought to do; or an
excuse for evading something you don't
want to do.
A conflict is nothing other than an
indeciSion. 1ndecisions are as numer-
Gus as the unforeseen problems of
everyday life. A little clear thinking
will clear practically all the conflicts
that are worth considering.

rectangular, semicircular or with fancy
shaped tops, always adapted to the close
fitting into spaces by arms of easy
chairs or of sofas. They have escaped
into new styles, not necessarily novel In
themselves but in their use. For ex-
ample drum table, small and low is
now considered perfectly well suited for
an armchair accessory.
This name drum table Is descriptive
because Of its short circular side which
extends down a few inches from the
circular top, suggesting the side Of a
drum. The finest specimens are pillar
and-claw tables, which name signifies
that there is center pedestal with
legs and feet branching from it, and
the feet are claw shaped. 1t is certainly
an innovation to class round table
although small in with davenport and
easy chair accessories.
A type of end table to delight the
book lover, is the book table. This may
be either a swivel table with book
shelves on each side below the top, or 1t
may be stationary with but one side
having the two shelves for volumes.
The first style is a miniature revolving
book case with the height correct for
an easy chair accessory.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
Underweight.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

IN EAR MISS LEEDs-Please
u 1s years 5,a old ,,;s feet ., ,,h,ass inches
Since I board I cannot get a
special diet, so how can I gain weight?
l haven't much appetite but am never
sick. I've tried eating yeast, but haven't
gained. HELEN.
Answer-First, you must develop an
appetite and gradually train your
stomach to handle more food. Some
times a slim appetite is due to eating
candy between meals, so, If you have
this bad habit, give 1t up. Exercise is
excellent for stimulating a healthy
hunger. If you spend an hour outdoors
in the afternoon or go swimming, or, in
winter, skating, you will feel like eating
hearty supper afterward. Do setting
up exercises in the morning, especially
deep breathing. Arrange to have milk
to drink with your meals instead Of tea
or coffee. Buy a bottle of olive oil and
take tablespoonful before meals.
In any weight-gaining program sleep
and rest are important. Be sure to sleep
at least eight hours, preferably longer,
each night. The yeast helps to over
come constipation, but if you are not
troubled that way there is no need to
continue with it. Do not take so-called
tonics without a doctors prescription.
Sometimes decayed teeth, diseased
tonsils and other unhealthy conditions
cause persistent underweight, so it
would be wise to have thorough ply
steal examination by physician.

Advantages i'm New Ruchings
BY MARY MARSHALL.
r-vEN if you don't like frlls and

TVEN II you don't like frills and

/ orally you cannot help but like
the new ruchings. They are
quaint and old fashioned, to be
sure, but they are used In q way that
Is thoroughly up-to-date and decidedly
convincing.
On an evening dress with long skirt
that flares gradually from below the
hips to the hem, a fairly wide Tuching
may bs used all along the lower edge.
This of course intensifies the flare and
incidentally makes the feet and ankles
decidedly 1880 aspect ruchings Of q
narrower sort are sometimes used to
outline an apron-like drapery at the
front and on evening dresses a narrow
ruching is sometimes used to outline
low V or square neckline.
You can buy ruchings by the yard
II you like and on dress OF silk crepe
or satin you may use matching ruch1ngs
of net which are sometimes laid In
narrow box pleats and sometimes
gathered.
You can easily make your own ruch-
ing, as all it requires is patience and
accuracy. Use cotton or silk net or
taffeta silk If the taffeta is cut on
the bias the edges should be frayed a
trfie but do not need to be hemmed.
If cut on the straight the edges may
be finished with pinking. which may
be done with the aid of Binking scissors,
to be had in the notion department OF
most large department stores. If you
like the edges of the material may be
finished with machine picoting but as
you will need many yards to make your
ruchings this adds considerably to the
cost of the operation.
If you arrange the fullness in box
pleats you will need three times as
much material as the finished fuche.
If gathered you will need almost as
much, the amount depending on the
texture of the material used.

the bee as a marriage priestess. The
starninste flower offers the lady bee an
overfowing cup of nectar. True, the
guest must stand on her head in a
most unladylike manner in order to
SID from the golden goblet. She gets
her furry coat all covered with the
sticky pollen from the stigmas, then
she goes to the next flower. Here is
pollen aplenty, but to the uninitiated
there is no nectar. The clever little bee
knows the ways of the pistillate flower
and peeps about at the base of the
pedestal which supports the lovely
knob. There she discovers three wee
windows and she hurriedly thrusts her
tongue through one of them to find
the hidden nectar. In crowding about
to find the sweet she brushes the cor
rugated golden knob and the pollen
from the stigmas first visited Is brushed
off.
To look into the star shaped golden
flower with its five lobes and its ruffied
hem is to see one of the most beautiful
flowers grown. The blossom has a way
of going to sleep at night with her
hens all turned up, but when the
bright sun shines in her face, she lets
her hem down and serves her guests
the delectable nectar. When she re-
tires for the night she sometimes
tucks little guest in tight, and unless
the tardy one knows how to cut through
the silken wall, she must remain over
night When the blossom closes for
good, it's just too bad II a belated guest
is caught within the silken folds. The
lobes are twisted tight They remind
you Of closed paper bag protecting its
contents.
Many wonderful things go on inside
the closed blossom Soon the wee
pumpkin appears. At first 1t is solid
and upheld by the stem, later it gets
too heavy and lies on the ground. The
partitions inside appear like that of
the cucumber, then they become stringy
and the seeds are attached by their
pointed tips to the meshwork of coarse
fibers There are six rows of seeds
tightly packed together, and when the
fruit is ripe they will spill out as the
pumpkin is cut open. The little seeds
are covered with several coats of
thin, gluelike substance The life germ
is found at the tip, and when planted,
the little seed splits, letting the germ
spread out and soon another pumpkin
vine will appear.
