but Cherry scarcely heard them. She
was looking at.the gorgeous creature
who turned such a melting glance
on Dan. Miss Vail wore costume
unlike anything Cherry had ever
seen. 1t was made of silvery green
chiffon.
These were long, very full trous-
ers and a low cut bodice like a
frock. About her waist Miss Vail
wore broad, deep green satin sash
tied with long, fringed ends reach
ing to the floor.
Her hair was like FURNISHED cop
per, waving and surprisingly abun-
dant. Cherry noticed that the
author had clear, white skin and
that her lip rouge was brilliant.

Cherry said she preferred the tea
without either. Why did every
thing Brenda Vail said or did have
the effect of making Cherry feel
like a runaway school girl?
Why should she feel out Of the
conversation when Miss Vail turned
to Dan and spoke to him about his
"career?" There was no reason for
it.
Cherry was as deeply interested
in Dams future as he was himself.
Certainly more interested than a
stranger such as Miss Vail could be.

fringe of fiat curls, six in number. On
the right temple are two sculpture curls.
The bulk of the hair Is worn straight,
but there IS wave or two across the
back just above the row Of small curls
that cluster at the nape Of the neck.
The test of a smart coiffure these

the back of the neck. The front ar

Iowa) in glowing terms.
His seat in the Senate is directly
across from that of Fletcher of Florida.
The two engaged in many disputes
about the relative merits of California
and Florida.
Fletcher seldom let him get by un-
challenged in his claims. Their argu-
ments at times afforded the Senate
some of its most amusing moments.
Shortridge would always give Florida
its due, but he always asserted, too, that
California had just a shade better Of
climate, just little bit sweeter oranges,
just trifle larger avocadoS.
They called him the "silver-tongued
orator of the Pacific before he came
to the Senate. On the Senate floor,
however. he rarely displayed his oratort-
cal ability.
He was fond of interjecting remarks
in running debate. This was done
with much ceremony. Shortridge al
ways does things with bit of a flourish
and grandiosely.
Bowing gravely, the essence of cour-
teSy and difference, he breaks in for q

definitely "Shortridgesque."
But he can be stern as well. He Is
jealous Of the traditions OF the Senate
and uses severity with he who does to
daunt them.
That reference to being janitor Of
the Salem High School Is no idle lie.
He helped finance his way through
school by acting as janitor.

to knock the others out trying 1t and
that would never do. Besides, when
YOU come to think Of it, it isn't his
fault that he is in our nest. He Is
greedy and has an ugly disposition, but
that isn't his fault either; he got his
bad manners from his parents. Bad

So far as he knows we are his parents.
It is a dreadful thing to be left to the

and Mrs. Shooster's little grand daw-
ter, Mildred, came In to play with him,
they look SO sweet together, like little
fallen angels.
I thawt there was q lot Of jellissy
between them, pop said, and ma said.
Well yes there Is, and in fact they
weren't together minnits before they
were pushing and slapping at each other
Tn q fine frenzy, although ! must say
In all fairness that 1t wasn't entirely
Willie's fault. because he had given
her without pushing him back, but she
obstinately refused to submit.
Very msporting Of her, pop sed, and
ma said, I gave Willie quite q serious
little tawking to. I impressed on his
little Subconscious mind the fact that
nice people never f1te but settle their
differences by appeals to each other 5
reason. I told him that fighting is an
Objectionable descendant Of the stone
ages when human beans were all COW
cred with hair instead Of serrounded by
kindness, and that nowadays intelligent
educated people leave fighting to mad
dogs, and my little lecture took mme-
diate effect, ma said.
How? pop said, and ma said. We'll,
the ferst thing I knew little Mildred
was in half sitting half sliding posi-
ton on the floor where Willie had forci-
bly, pushed her. and before had time
to reproach him he spoke up with that
charming little smile Of his and said.
I'll show her how nawty 1t Is to f1te.
In other werds you mite say his final

Everyday Psychology
Photographic Minds.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPR0wLs.

Some persons have what might be
called photographic minds" Every
thing they remember Is recalled as a
picture.
A person with a good Photographic
mind may be introduced to so strangers
and then go down the line and name
each person correctly. Photographic
minds, of course, are very rare. For
that reason, the possessors of such
minds appear to be geniuses of some
sort. The fact is that most photograph
minded persons are usually good for
nothing else. There are cases on record
OF persons with Photographic minds
who, on the whole, were nothing but
morons in the everyday affairs Of life.
Aside from this, there Is no doubt
that a photograph-minded person has
great advantage over average per-
sons in some respects. For instance, a
well educated photograph minded per-
son can read whole paragraphs at a
time instead of merely words or SEN
tenceS. This ability accounts for the
wizards who can take q glance at a
poem and recite it word for word. So
far as they are concerned, they learn
nothing They merely looked at the
mental photograph" and read 1t again
word for word.

In desultory sort of way they begin
to migrate in late Summer, though, of
course, when they left their favorite
breeding grounds within the Arctic
circle, the brief and beautyless Arctic
Autumn had already set in. They reach
the District in little wandering bands.
and, descending upon any convenient
pond or stream bank, or even around
the mudholes Of farms, they suddenly
bring these places to life. They are
never still moment, continuously wan
dering about on their bright toothpick
legs that always seem to be jointed in
the wrong direction, and constantly
pecking.
To me their greatest charm Is the
constant music of their sociable con-
versation. While not actually eating they
perpetually gossip and comment, as 1t
were over the shoulder, to each other.
The note sounds to me like cling,
clink!" and it seems to be struck out
on bell or tiny anvill metallic
note that, sweet at first, presently tor

The least sandpiper differs from his

for the eager hunter. He hunts in
cessantly until he finds them, then
gorges himself on them. He Is feeble
traveller as a pedestrian, but gets con-
siderable speed when he folds his legs
against his body and is propelled with
his powerful compressed tail. The coral
gills are delicate filaments and are un-
protected.
During the day he rests and dozes
under a fiat stone or well buried in
the soft mud, with the head and gills
exposed. Night finds him rested and
ready for hunting and sport. In the
early Winter, the courting couples may
be seen near the fiat stones or a suit
able sheltering log. Throughout the
Winter, no matter how thick the ice
cake above him, he goes about as though
he were in tropical waters.
In May and June, the mother mud
puppies are found close to their nests"
or nurseries. Sometimes q hollow log
is used. The eggs are attached by
slender stalks of gelatinous envelope,
either singly or in groups over an area
of 8 to 10 inches There are about
60 Of them and the choice spot Is a
hollow log. The mother lies close to
them in order to guard them. When
the puppies are / year old, they re-
semble their parents in form, but have
each side of the body. As they grow
older, they assume the smooth. dull
gray color. The eyes are small. Be-
sides fish eggs, they are fond Of small
fishes, frogs, insect larvae and earth
worms. They dig deep and industriously
for the buried frogs that have interned
for the Winter. They are light eaters
In the Summer.
Where they are plentiful the greatest
Of sports Is known as tickling mud
puppies" It takes three to play this
game. One man carries the jack-light,
which may be q good flashlight or an
acetylene lamp: one rows the boat and
another carries the "tickler." When a
puppy is sighted, the man with the
light calls Pup, Ho!" The rover brings
his boat aroLnd, so that the light may
be held over the puppy. A dip net is
the ticker is told to do his part, which
is to apply an unexpected sensation by
the use Of rod to the puppy's tail.
The creature makes q mad dash for
ward and lands in the net. The result
Is spoken Of as 'one tickled mud
puppy" OF course, the number "tickled"
greatly enhances the evenings enjoy
ment.
The meat Of the mud-puppy is said
to be delicious. 1t Is fine. white and
very tender. Those who have tasted
1t say 1t is far superior in flavor to
frog legs. It Is a food which should
be developed for human consumption,
as the puppies are caught easily in
great numbers.
