Suddenly Miss Earhart, with
one Of her mischievous grins,
reached for a sheet Of paper and
q pencil and a pair Of scissors,
and in no time had drawn a lit

THE Wilson Comptons have.
i so we hear, one of the most
picturesque country places just
outside Of Washington. It is a
rambling, big farmhouse, and
when one rings the old-faShioned
doorbell, instead Of a strident,
shrill ring, there is the merry
tingle Of sleigh bells. Mrs.

generous, drawn-out meal, along
in the late afternoon.
