Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

in it, they saw their own reflections
them. Water they had never seen
before. 1t meant to them merely
something to wonder at. Suddenly
one of them saw something moving
down below. down there in the clear
water 1t looked like one of the de-
licious little fishes mother and father
had so often brought him. only those
fish had never moved. This one dart
ed in close to shore. and then as
quickly darted out int2 deeper water
1t was a minnow.
There it was again. The young
Kingfsher leaned over until he nearly
lost his balance in his excitement
He was suddenly very. very hungry.
He wanted that minnow more than
he ever wanted anything in his short
life before. Right then something
happened, an amazing something
Before his astonished eyes something
passed so quickly that he didn't sense
what it was. There was a splash in
the water, and then up out Of the
water came that minnow. Up. up,
straight to where that young King
fisher sat came that minnow. 1t was
securely held in the big, pointed bill
of Mother Kingfisher.
Nine little mouths opened wide eX-
pectantly, but there was only one lit
tie fish. 1t went straight into the
mouth Of the one who had first seen
it. Now, you know where to look
for fishes and how they are caught"
said she. The sooner you learn how
TO do it the sooner you will be able
to have them when you want them.
Now, you come with me-"
The young Kingfsher followed his
Mother, while the others remained,
for they saw Father coming with a
fish. Mrs. Rattles led the way down
the Laughing Brook a short distance
to another little pool. and perched
on the branch of a tree that over
hung the water. The young King
fisher perched beside her. He looked
down in the pool, but saw nothing.
For long time they sat there. mo-
tlonless. Then into sight just below
swan. not one, but several, little
fishes.
The young Kingisher looked at
Mother to see if she saw them. She
did. She flew out over that little
pool, hovered there an instant, and
then, with neck extended. long bill
pointing straight down, wings closed,
she shot down. Splash! She had
struck the water, and for just an
instant she was lost to view. Then
up she came. and in her bill was fat
minnow. This one she swallowed
herself, first turning it so that it
would go down head first.

House Dress With Shitwaist Tendency
Made for All Types of Figures
and Suggests Comfort for
Busy Woman.
BY BARBARA BELL.

v OUSEWIVES will feel per-
fectly dressed this Summer,
if their dresses follow the
l. i lines established by that 60
getter of chic-the shirt
waist frock. We feel justly proud of
ourselves for having found the model
sketched today, for it has been de-
signed with an understanding consid-
Grafton for all types of figures. The
opening down the center-front spells
comfort to the busy woman who re-
CARDS quick changes" as part of
her daily routine. If she has not
tasted the advantages that result from
this practical detail then she has not
reduced her dressing problems down
to that speedy point where a little
matter of split-seconds saves wear
and tear on nerves and clothes, and
gives her time for better things.
The gathered fullness at the top
of the waist gives that Softness which
provides the freedom from strain that
is so necessary in everyday house
frocks. The pockets are made with
inverted plaits that expand accommo-
udIlllBly "Ilcl OCCdSlOn QtIIldIlQS II,
besides giving the dress a finished
look The skirt of this frock is made
with side-plaits in the center, front
and back, and plenty of flare at the
sides.
Every one is bound to be suited in
wash fabrics this Summer, for prac-
tically every color or weave is avail
able in the market. Percale was used
in the dress sketched. the background
was white with precise f1ecks evenly
distributed in a variety of colors-
arbutus pink, jonquil yellow, corn
flower blue and soft green.
Barbara Bell Pattern No. l345-B
is designed in sizes "a to A. Size "a
requires four yards of 35-inch ma
terial. Every Barbara Bell pattern has
an illustrated instruction guide that
is easy to follow.

1t So happens that five spades can
be made on the hand, because the
spade finesse goes, but it's risky bid.
Mr.. Aggressive, hard put to it for a
lead. finally opened the ace of dia-
monds. An original trump lead, in
combination with trump returns by
Mrs. Aggressive, sets the hand four
tricks. But with the lead of the ace
of diamonds, Mr.. Conservative had
fine chance for an end play. As
sisted unwillingly by his opponents.
he stripped both his hand and dunn
my's of spades and diamonds. When
Mr.. Aggressive failed to follow on
the second lead of trumps, he had
perfect count on the hand. Mr. Ag-
gressive evidently had held originally
five spades, five diamonds, singleton
club and two hearts. If one of those
hearts was an honor, Mr.. Aggressive
could be thrown in and forced TO lead
either spades or diamonds. Being voio
of those suits in both hands. Mr.. Con-
Servative could then trump in dummy
and discard losing heart from his
own hand. For the execution of this
play it was necessary that a trump
honor be left in dummy so that West.
who had the ten of clubs, could not
overtrump dummy. Mrs. Aggressive's
third trump was left to wilt in her
hand until Mr. Conservative carried
out his superb play. There is no way
Mr.. Aggressive can escape. Throw
ing the king of hearts on the ace
merely set up the jack for Mr.. Con-
Servative
Mr. Aggressive accepted the touch
OF kismet with fairly good grace. He
congratulated Mr.. Conservative sourly
and professed that he was completely
satisfied with the 450-point set. AS
the Conservatives were perfectly con-
tent to give up $50 points to save
the rubber, both sides seemed happy.
Mr.. Aggressive seized the second
pack Of cards and gave them a rifle
for good luck" Mr.. Conservative
remarked jocularly that he hoped the
luck would be good for their side,
because they certainly needed it.
The score to date is all for the
AggresSives. Four hundred and ninety
points above the line-game in. Per-
haps the Conservatives will do better
tomorrow.

The Old Gardener Saws:

This is the time to consider the
planting of New Zealand spinach,
which is much easier to grow in
the amateurs garden than ordi-
nary spinach, which does not like
hot weather. The sun is never
too hot for New Zealand spinach,
which makes quick growth when
once started, although it may be
little slow in terminating. The
amateur should not make the
mistake of planting even one long
row, for this is a cut-and-come-
again vegetable. The new leaves
are removed as they mature, but
the plants themselves remain un-
disturbed. New growth is quickly
made. and single short row will
supply the ordinary family with
greens throughout the Midsum-
mer season. The plants are
spreading in habit and should be
thinned to stand 18 inches apart.

False 1unnor
BY ARTHUR DEAN, sc. ID.

r WAS not the speaker, so my feel
ings were not hurt. I was just
an onlooker at a graduation to which
a speaker had been invited to give the
main address.
There was nothing funny-looking
about the speaker, nothing in his
clothes or manner of speech to bring
about hilarity. But the audience
started to litter. and then to laugh.
Everybody was having a good time
except the speaker and myself.
But couldn't see one funny thing
in the whole performance. In fact,
it was all very sad to me, as it showed
that the parents and pupils in this
particular audience hadn't yet learned
what real education is.
I think that the audience was ex-
ceptional and that there was some
thing in the psychology Of. the
speaker which I was too dumb to
discover. Here's the. extract Of his
speech:
Ladies and gentlemen, teachers
and members of the graduation class:
The parents before me have spent. on
the average, $4,000 in bringing each
of the young people who are about to
receive diploma to the position
which they now occupy. The city has
spent approximately $500 on each one
in furnishing an education. which has
as its reward the high school diploma
which the pupils are soon to receive
at the hands of the principal.
II 1 were given the privilege of
examining these students once again
before they were to get a diploma 1
should like them to ask themselves
the following questions, and If their
answers were unsatisfactory to refuse
them diploma: Is my weight what
1t should be? Do l carry myself we'll?
Do earn some of the money spend?
Do l love to read good book? Would
l rather listen to good music than to
Jazz? Can I tell the difference be-
tween a good picture and a poor one?
Do 1 acquire knowledge because I
want to or because I have to? II
were given free choice would I quit
school today or would I go on? Am
| inclined to think for myself? Am
l helpful to my parents? Do I get
along with others? Have 1 social
adaptability? Do l speak to servants
politely? Do I conduct myself prop
erly toward members Of the opposite
sex? Do I get out of difficulties by
telling the truth? Would I cheat on
examinations if knew could with
out detection? Is it love of right that
keeps me from doing wrong?'"
And still I am not laughing. Are
you?

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Defend Me From Friends.
WE HAVE an inquiry for the origin
of the saying. Defend me from
my friends; I can defend myself from
my enemies" We are familiar with
these words used in various circum-
stances. A politician recently used
them publicly in allusion to political
friends" whom he blamed for his de-
feat. And I heard them used not
long ago by woman who had been
the subject of gossip.
We can call to mind those lines of
George Canning, in his New Moral
ity."
Give me the avowed, the erect, the
manly foe,
Bold I can meet-perhaps may turn
his blow!
But of all plaques, good Heaven, the
wrath can send,
Save, save, or save me from the can
did friend!"
The authorship of the words is at
tributed to the Marechal Villars, the
last great military leader of the
French monarchy, who is said to have
remarked on taking leave OF Louis
XIV, Defend me from my friends; I
can defend myself from my enemies. p"

Who Are You?
Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS,

John Huyette was a New York set
tier in 1876. He came from England
He assisted Peter Cooper in building
the first steam engine in this country
Many Huyettes came to Virginia
and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania
they settled in Lancaster, Schuylkill
and Obey Valleys. where the name was
spelled Hugett-a German form.
The pension rolls of the various
wars list a substantial number of this
name who served the United States
IN time of war. and there are hun
dreds of the name who have achieved
in times of peace an enviable position
in the various professions.
(Copyrsht, 1a34)

Dupette

THE Huyette family is traced from
England to France, where the
spelling was originally Huet. In that
country, the word huet meant an
'owlet," being the diminutive form of
"chonette"-an owl. Both the Huet
and Huyette families of England
have emblazoned on their coat armor
the emblem of the family-the owl.
This family was prominent in
France and in England for hundreds
of years, many members being knight
ed and in the service of their King.
The Huyetts and Hewitts, who came
to America, were mostly Of Huguenot
ancestry. Their forebears left their
homes in Alsace Lorraine, some of
them going to Germany, some to
England and Holland.

During the first six months of this
year." said Gifford'S statement, the
Bell system had a net gain of about
100 900 telephones. This gain ex-
ceeded that of any corresponding
period since 1929 and compares with
a net loss of $4,000 telephones in the

The number of toll and long dis

was about per cent greater than the

The earnings of the American Tele-
