THE GOLD RUSH

Hoarders came very close to up
setting the money system of the
government. For what purpose?
There is no sensible answer!
Any paper money issued by the
United States will always be worth
every cent ii represents, and as long
as the government exists it will be
just as good as gold, silver, dia-
monds, pearls, lead and putty.
The recent gold rush is the sill
Hest performance ON record-since
we muddled into the European war.

this easy the names may be tele-

who hire manual labor occasionally

the crowd and the lights and
all the rest of it. I never have
any desire to drink a lot and
raise whoopla, myself"
Sharlie shook her head. He
was hopeless, she thought.
Loyal and sober and good but
well, he was too good. That was
the trouble with him. He was
the salt of the earth, and what
she wanted at that time was
red pepper. The spice and the
tingle of life. The thrill and
the speed and the color of
existence.

Goodnight, Jim," she said.
"And I promise you I won't
borrow your name again."
She went into the kitchen
and shut the screen door be-
hind her. Her mother was
talking to someone on the tele-
phone. She could hear the rise
and fall Of her pretty voice as
she picked up the dishes from
the drain-board and went on
wiping them.
After three or four minutes
the swinging door that led to
the dining room was pushed
open and Dodie stood in the
opening, looking at her. Her
face was scarlet and there were
tears IN her blue eyes.

me-"
IT didn't. I give you my
word of honor that I didn't"
began Sharlie. But the older
woman did not wait to hear
any more. She walked into her
bedroom, and closed and locked
the door.
In the morning when Sharlie
got up it was still closed and
locked. She tried the handle
and then set her mothers tray
of morning coffee on the floor
outside the room.
"Dodie, here's your coffee"
she called. There was no an.
swer, but as Sharlie was leav-
ing the flat a few minutes
later she heard the squeak Of
the bedroom door as it was
pushed open and the chink Of
china as Dodie picked up the
little tray.

The introduction of a new
special service to women is Of
considerable interest during
these trying times. An entirely
new and very simple method Of
transferring patterns has been
perfected, and now can be OBJ
tanned by women anywhere.
Patch work, quilt patterns,
applique, cross-stitch, silhou-
cites, children's pictures of OBJ
jects they love, beautiful en-
broidery patterns in the most
comprehensive collection ever
made. Eight hundred new and
exclusive designs in one pack
age, also three alphabets-
Script, Old English and Jap
anese, in three sizes Of letters.
Just select your design from
the collection, rub the bowl of
a tablespoon over the moist
ened surface, and like magic,
you have the design transferred
to your cloth, wood, pape14 or
any surface you desire to dec
crate. So easy that even a child
can do it, and they love to
transfer the special children's
patterns to the leaves Of a scrap
book to be painted or colored
with crayons later.
Each pattern can be used IL
times, and the uses are so di,
verse, and the number Sc great
that it is not even exaggerating
to say the Wonder Package con-
tainS a lifetime supply of pat
terms.

Her voice shook. "Sharlie,"
she said, what did you do a
thing like that for?"
Like what?"
Her mother made an impa-
tient movement with her head.
"You know what I mean. You
hunted up Norman MacKinnon
and told him that I was your
mother"
Sharlie shook her head and
looked down at her red and
soapy hands. "I didn't hunt
him up" she said lamely.
For a minute she felt small
and helpless and guilty, just
as she had always felt when
she was a little girl and Dodie
Scolded her for some wrong
doing or other. Then all at
once that feeling Of guilt and
helplessnesS passed, and she
stood up straight and tall. After
all she had done nothing
wrong, she told herself, squar-
ing her shoulders.
II happened to meet him last
night, Dodie-"
Don't try to tell me any
such cock-and-bull story as
that" her mother broke in.

This illustration shows you
the pictures of the patterns
found on just one-half of the
big sheets. There are IL large
sheets, some containing as many
as 20 designs on a half page.
If you use the pattern on
cloth for embroidering, you will
be pleased also to know that
the tranfer washes out easily,
which was not true of the old
indelible ink transfers made
with the hot iron.
Try the daisy spray on a
delicate pastel tinted negligee.
Work in dainty colors using
lazy daisy and French knot
stitches. Trim edges with val
lace, and you will have a deli
cately beautiful garment.
The gracefully shaped French
Basket Design is a thing of
beauty, either, in embroidery or
painted on wood, paper, or
parchment, with its bouquet of
Canterbury Bells, and other
blossoms done in colors. To
know these designs is to love
them. Get the package and if
you are not d0icg hard work
of any kind now, it will be a
satisfaction to have a supply
on hand when you need it in
the future.
You can have the package
mailed to you for $1.00, but if
you can call for it, it is only
88c. This Wonder Package may

record proves it, but lurking in the

During 1882 Milling went to the post
