brought out the last four words
in a little breathless rush. It
was hard to speak of her mother
to this man, who probably
claSsed her with women like
Marjorie and Maud Hanaberry.
Your mothers apartment?"
He couldn't seem to take in
what she had Just told him. His
eyes swept up to the lighted
windows and back again to
her. "She's not your mother
Mrs. Dunn's not your mother"
Once more Sharlie nodded
her head.
"But your name isn't Dunn

"And that's my mother that
you know" She paused for a
second, realizing that she was
doing this thing very awk-

lace tablecloth and on it was a
bowl of yellow daisies. There
were celery and olives and a big
platter Of cold chicken and po-
tato chips on the Sideboard.
"And dads money paid for all
Of it," Shirley thought bitterly.
Her mother was sitting up in
bed, reading. She was red-eyed
and pale, even in the pink glow
Of her bed lamp. There was cold
cream on her face and there
were traces Of tears on it, too.
where have you been, Shar-
lie? It's terribly late" she said
when Sharlie put her head
around the corner of the door
Of her room.
"You told me to go out for
the evening, didn't you?" asked
Sharlie, instantly on the defen-
sive. "You told me you were
going to have company"
Company didn't come" said
Dodie. "I've been sitting here
in bed for hours waiting for
you. Edna telephoned and
asked for you, so I knew you
weren't with her. And I tele-
phoned your grandmother and
found out that you weren't

He did not speak again until
they swung into it from the
north end, and neither did
Sharlie. She sat huddled in her
corner of the wide leather
seat, wondering whether she
ought to tell the man beside
her that Dodie was her mother
and asked him not to see her
any more. He had told Marjorie
that he was not going to see
her any more, but Sharlie felt
inStinctively that his word didn't
mean a great deal. Besides, she
told herself, a married man
who ran around. with the Mar
jories and the Maud Hama
berrys of the world couldn't be

The car was almost at her

"Oh, don't know. She's

Sharlie went to bed and lay
awake for a long time thinking
over the last few hours and
praying that she never would

were a cheap crowd-cheaper

If you have not already be-
come acquainted with The
Times Wonder Package, you
may be interested to know that
there are over 800 transfer pat
terms on the II large sheets
contained in it, but inasmuch as
each pattern may be trans
ferred 10 or IL times, there
are really several thousand de-
signs.
Ideal Method of Transfer
Do not use a hot iron to
transfer these patterns, but just
a little water and a slight rub
bing with the bowl of a spoon.
The children will derive as
much pleasure and use of the
package as the older members
of the family.
The price, considering all
you receive, is ridiculously low,
being $1.0O if you wish to have
it sent by mail, and only 88c
if you would like to call for 1t.
You may obtain it at the office
Of The Times.

know, measureing "a by SO

The designs shown here have
a great many uses, embroider-
ing rompers, sailor suits, scarfs
and decorating racks, chests,

be transferred to the leaves of
a scrap book and used for
"rainy-day" painting.
More Juvenile Patterns
This is only one of the groups
of juvenile patterns found in

are others with designs of birds,

boys love. With four of these
