eyes toward the far horizon

She went directly to Tom White, who had

Too brave to cry, she laughs the tears away.
Miss Oliver was born of wealthy parents in
Boston. Financial reverses came when she was
fourteen. The family was reduced to that
Gethsemane of the proud genteel poverty.
Her fathers death followed.
She had been taught in the usual routine.
Even as child she wanted to become an
actress, and neglected her other studies,
devoting all her time to mimiry and the
drama.
She had a good voice. Her uncle. Freeman
Adams Oliver, anxious that she have career
in grand opera, undertook her musical
education.
She studied for several years under an
excellent teacher, and then joined small

To her dismay, the merchant told her that

should have been pulled out, strand by strand.
Then, he said, it would have been priceless.
Not knowing what to do the girl took So

That proud woman would not accept the

Mellow with suffering,

Sea-lionS arrive there will have been
many battles, but the real fighting be-
gins with their arrival. The con-
testants are savage, cruel and willing
to stand any amount Of punishment.
Their wives and sisters look on with
the most bored expression and do not
seem to care what happens to the
struggling males.
At one time there were hundreds
of thousands of sea-lions that came
to the islands to mate and here the
young were born. Today the number
is pitifully small, though the fur of
these creatures is not nearly so valuable
as that Of the fur seal. Still the hunt
ing has been so great that there are
few left, indeed, compared with the
great herds of long ago
To the Aleutian Islanders these
animals were Of great Importance.

The sea-lions are animals that love

swimmers and have great powers of
endurance. 1t seems to be more fun
than effort for them to swim through
lashing waves in order to reach a

1t is said the old sea-lions are very
fond of their children and love to play
with them. A youngster. riding upon
the back Of grandfather or father as
he takes swim. gives an impression
of family affection.
With but one exception. these
creatures are given wide berth by all
who know Of their approach. There
is one who is not afraid Of them, but
hunts them whenever he knows of
their presence in the vicinity, and
that one is the dreaded killer whale,
who takes heavy toll from their
number every time he enters their

lonqed for. Until recently she had
been satisfied with bargain counter
dresses and cheap hose, but now IL
was different-she had a boy friend
and must look her best.
It took weeks and weeks to save
enough money to buy a new nat OF
purse or gloves. 1t seemed that her
whole life was spent waiting for pay
days.
Linda, like all her companions at
Stones, did her shopping in the base
ment of one or another OF the larger
washington stores. She wouldn't have
known just how to buy except IN
crowded bargain basement, where one
could try on hats, dresses and shoes
without being rushed into sale. Be-
sides. one never felt f-conscious
when lost in q crowd.

ONE lunch hour she hurried down
~ to the basement to look for gloves.
Selecting O pair, she stood impatiently,
shifting from one foot to the other,
waiting for a saleslady to ring up the
sale. At last, fearing she might be
late, she thrust the gloves between
her purse and magazine and left the
store without paying for them.
"Oh. boy!" she sighed to herself
when she reached the street above.
"Why waste a perfectly good lunch
taka
your money when you can get things
for nothing?" She chuckled to her
self. That gives me an idea"
1t was just as easy during another
lunch hour to select a high-priced
hat and leave the old one in its place
on the bargain table. No one would
be the wiser until closing time. then
who would suspect Linda West, the
little clerk in the hat department at
Stones?
The attractively embroidered Bel
field tag that was sewed in the lining
of the new hat was ripped out that
evening and neatly seWed on the
lining of the new fur coat. replacing

which the owner had been a little

coat an added value, she thought.

He ate one of the seeds. 1t tasted

he began to think about storing
those seeds away. How rich he would
feel If he had storeroom filed with
those shiny black seeds! The only
trouble was they were not dry. You

out there to dry in the sun, not ex-

seed really was too wet to be put
away He came pretty near slipping
it out Of that cheek pocket and eat

slipped another seed in. Then force

started filling both cheek pockets.

Have you noticed, Linda, that the
new fur coats have belts now?" asked
Miss Martin.
"Yes. I have" sighed Linda. That's
another thing this de. -ession has done.
The manufacturers keep changing the
styles to force us poor working girls
to buy; they don't even let fur coats
stay in for a whole season."
"All your coat needs is a fur belt
you could have one made to match"
suggested Miss Martin. 1T would give
your coat very smart effect"

she passed Belfields, Linda remem-
bered Miss Martins words: 1T gives

herself as she ran down the stair to
Belfield's bargain basement.
She noticed with regret that it was
not as thickly crowded as at the lunch
hour, the salesladies were busy re-
placing the coats on the racks. She
tried on a raccoon coat and at the

woman, quietly.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Have an Itch For.

To have an itch for something Is
to be possessed of a great desire for It..
Intrinsically, the object sought may
be consequential or not; at the mo-
ment, however, it looms imperatively
in the inclination.
It is intriguing to trace how this
expression came into being.
Itch is a good old English word
which has always indicated that
ticklish, uneasy sensation in the skin
which filled the person so affected
with an overpowering longing to
scratch the area involved.
It Is this sense of longing which
has survived uppermost and emphati-
cally in the metaphorical application
of the word, which, by the way. dates
back thousands of years.
So we have, among figurative usages,
the phrase to have itching ears. found

run along that Old Stonewall! He
just couldn't get over there soon
enough. You see, he was dreadfully
afraid that those seeds would vanish
while he was gone. He was dreadfully
afraid that some one else would find
them and take them.
1t was with little sigh Of pure
relief that he hoped over on that
fiat stone and at glance saw that
no one had touched those seeds. Then
he went to work with a will. He
stuffed those pockets in his cheeks
so full that his head seemed twice as
big as it really is. When he couldn't
get another seed in, he scampered
back with this load for the storeroom.
My, my, how Striped Chipmunk did
work! And how happy he was In
that work, for he is one who long ago
discovered that work Is the key to
real happiness.
