dered her nose before the mir
Eors of weighing machines. The
clear. chilly air made her look
unusually fresh and deepened
the color in her cheeks. She
was better-looking than his Mrs.
Wilmot, she told herself.
HER SURPRISE
And just then, as she was
turning away from the little,
round mirror above a weighing
machine. she saw Mrs. Wilmot!
She was walking slowly along
the street toward Thirteenth, as
II she were enjoying the sun
shine and the crowds. On her
breast was pair of white gar
denias tied with silver ribbon
that had not been there when
she visited Mr.. Collins, and she
had small, white package in
one of her hands. Evidently
she had been doing a little
shopping.
Sharlie.. strolling along just
behind her, wished that she
would drop in at one of the
stores that bordered the side
walk and do a little more shop
ping. But she did not.
She walked straight on. and
reached the corner of Spring
and Thirteenth Just a second
before Sharlie. -.

Transfer these designs on a
sheet Of heavy paper and let
the children paint them, q
scrap book with a design trans
ferred on each page and a 10
cent box of paints would give
pleasure to the kiddies for
many weeks. These designs
can be transferred several
times: in fact as many as 10

just 300 patterns you really
have several thousand.
The many beautiful designs
in this marvellous pattern pack
age can also be transferred
onto pottery, glass, etc., to be
decorated, just as easily as
onto cloth or paper. Many
attractive gifts can also be
made by transferring designs
and painting them on metal
boxes to be used for cookies.

Sharlie drew a long breath.
Because she likes you!"
There, that was the way to
talk to him! Not as if he were
her employer but as if he were
simply a man who liked her
enough to ask her to take a
drive with him: A man she
was crazy about.
All the people in the office
had always spoken to him with
great respect, Edna included. 1t
was Eyes, Mr.. Collins; "No,
Mr. Collins" and "I'll see, Mrs
Collins" all day long at the
office. Everybody there stood in
awe of him.
But this wasn't the Office
and it wasn't office hours now.
Sharlie laughed. II shouldn't
have said that-but it just
slipped out, Mr.. Collins" she
murmured. "It's the truth, how
ever. I am jealous of Mrs. Will
mot. You know, all of uS-all
of the girls at the office are
in love with you, Mr.. Collins"
He shook his head. That's
nonsense. Those girls have
worked for me for years-most
of them. They all have young
fellows of their own"
It was on the tip of Sharlie's
tongue to say. Edna hasn't"
But she decided not to, the
next second. Why give Mr..

On the opposite corner sat
Mr.. Collins in his open road
ster, smoking a cigarette and
watching the crowds intently.
Sharlie saw him frown as he
caught sight of Mrs. Wilmot.
Then he leaned forard and
started his car. It turned the
corner and disappeared in the
traffic of Spring Street.
Sharlie did not know what to
do. She knew that he had
driven away because he did not
want Mrs. Wilmot to see her get
into his car, and she wondered
whether he would come back
for her or not. In all probabil-
ity he would, when he thought
Mrs. Wilmot had had time to
get away from the corner.
Three minutes went by.
Sharlie stood in the doorway
of the Owl drugstore and
watched Mrs. Wilmot hail a
taxicab and ride away in it.
It was full half hour before
the roadster rounded the corner
once more. BY that time the
street was filled with blue-gray
dusk and Sharlie'S feet ached
from standing so long. She
sank down on the leather seat
Of the roadster with a great
sigh of relief.
II thought you were never
coming back, MIR. Collins!" she

was in love with him, and
lived a manleSs existence out
side the office?
"I haven't any young fel-
low" was what she finally did
say. you're the only man 7
ever except my father"
Mr.. Collins was looking at
her intently. The car had stop
ped at a crossing and she could
feel his eyes on her face. Then
he reached out and laid one
hand slightly on her shoulder
for an instant.

said, "I1l have to be mighty
nice to you from now on, won't
I, Sharlie?"
Sharlie put her head to one
side and gave him a small
smile that barely moved her
lips. Behind that smile she was
thinking that a man-even a
big business man like Mr.. Col.

I'll bet I'll have him asking
me to marry him in no time

the cocksureness Of a very

her mind about him. He wasn't
so easy, after all.

She was sitting in the corner
of the seat with her eyes on Mr..

WASHERS AID

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Apart-
ment managers here have dis
covered that installation of
electric washing machines in
their Easements has become an
added attraction for tenants.
These machines are equipped
with a coin-meter device, and
are operated on a pay-as-you-
go basis by the tenant. In the
last five months one company
alone has installed machines in
more than 1000 buildings.
1t has oeen found that the
machines have a particular ap-
peal at the present time when
everyone is trying to econo-
mize. These machines are a
strong talking point to hard.
pressed families who have been
sending their laundry out.
From the standpoint Of the
apartment manager, the ma
chimes have brought direct re-
turns in increased occupancy.

COMPETITION
CHECK NEEDED

A constant check on compe-
tition by apartment operators
and managers is essential to a
thorough knowledge of rental
values.
A policy of cultivating good
will among tenants is another
that usually pays big dividends
at lease renewal time. Under
this policy it is not necessary
that all requests be granted.
Unless a tenant is utterly I'M
reasonable he usually can be
satisfied at moderate cost.
For successful rentals, it is
necessary that the high stand
ards of an apartment building
be maintained. It must never
be allowed to present a run
down appearance.
A point often overlooked
which many times is the de-
Gliding factor in renting an
apartment is the condition of
plumbing. This should not be
allowed to become obsolete.
Scruplous canine S S
throughout the building is an
essential, as first impressions
OF prospective tenants often
are lasting impression.

Manners and Morals
by JANE JORDAN

Dear Jane Jordan-If young
man doesn't ask a girl for another
date, she refused to kiss him the
first time. it might be because she
was not uactful in her refusal. If
she isn't, the young man will be
so abashed that he will avoid the
girl entirely When he sees her
again, the memory of her resent
ment embarraSses him.
The girl should gather her wits
together and dismiss the subject
facetiously. This lets him know
that her resentment wasn't dis
gust. It establishes hope without
disturbing vanity. I prefer a girl
who is particular about who kisses
her and who will not tolerate ex-
cess. TWENTY-ONE
Acknowledgements makes 6
very good point. When refusal doe:
not wound, but holds a subtle prom
lse OF favors TO come, the boy frienc
IS considerably intrigued.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a

night and got their faces slapped.
Then they reSorted to a dirty
trick. 7 heard a fellow giving his
buddy some advice: Jim. you
work too fast. Don't try to get
everything the first night. Take
it easy. Win her confidence. even
if it takes six months. When she
gets TO care for you. you can do
anything"
II made me see red, because I
know enough about feminine ma
ture TO know that a girl really
puts her heart and soul into
pleasing the man she loves. Girls,
why is it that a good-for nothing
can do women dirt, break dates,
ana SHOW Cont care attitude,
then get back into her good graces
by meaningless flattery?
III tell you an infallible way
to read a fellows mind. When you
first meet him. does he look more
at your legs than at your face?
II so, you know what TO expect. I
still think women are far more
precious and beautiful than any,
thing else man has in this world.
Anything he does to hurt or de-
file one Of these fair creatures is
