By DAVID CORY. r You remember In the la6t story how Puss left the csstle of the old miser with two bags of gold under his arm, and how he bought with one of them a castle for the rats and mice to live in for the rest of their lives. Weil, after that he went upon his way with the remaining bag of gold under bis arm. and by and by he came to a poor woodcutter’s hut in the middle of the forest. And when he knocked at the door it was opened by the wood cutter’s wife, who was crying bitterly, .—■—^ | “Six little mice were sitting down to sew.’ for her good man was ill and she bad no money to pay for a doctor. So generous little Puss Junior, opened his bag of gold and gave her half, and the rest he put In his pockets; and then he said good-bye and went upon his And by and by he came across Little Red Riding Hood. And oh, dear me! Wasn’t she frightened? For a wicked wolf had scared her poor old grandma nearly to death and had run off with her big, fat goose. “And now we’ll have no Christmas dinner,’’ sobbed Little Red Riding Hood, and this made Puss feel so badly The Right Thing at the Right Time By MART MARSHALL, S. DUFF**. PON’ CARE WHAT THEY HINK. It was said not long ago that the rea son so many housewives grew nervous and depressed ove rthe present high cost of living was bedanse they worried about what their neighbors might think of them. When they found their bills for the old-fashioned standbys were higher than they could afford to pay their first thought was: . ‘How awful to be in debt: yet I can’t set the table for less, for all my elgh bors would think me stingy." Now the whole point in this: Don’t care what your neighbors think about the economies you practice. Practice them rather than go in debt. Do anything to keep from worrying too much about the present condition of high prices. If you can economize on the table without Injuring the health of your fam ily do it. It is really far better bred to econo mize and keep out of debt than to go into debt in order to keep your neighbor's opinion of you. And what Is more, the neighbor who idly criticizes her friends and neighbors who have different standards of living than she Is not a neighbor whose opin ion is quite worth wprrying about.— Copyright, 1920. that he gave her five gold pieces. Wasn’t that generous hi him? And If he keeps on he’ll have to find another fortune, for he won’t have a penny loft, will that dear little generous pussy cat? “Hetgh-ho!” said Puss to himself. “I wonder what will happen next.” And then, all of a sudden, an old owl commenced to hoot; so Puss stopped and asked him what tlms It was, for it was growing dark, and he began to wonder where he was to sleep. I forgot to wind my wßtch last night. And I didn’t wake up this morning In time to ask a robin, you see. For I was sleepy and yawning. “Oh, dear!” said Puss, “what shall I do?” “Don’t worry,” said the kind old owl. ••"You can sleep In my nest. There is room for us all!” So Puss took off his boots and climbed up the tree, and he nearly dropped one of his boots, for It wasn’t easy to hold them between his teeth. Well, when he got inside of Mr. Owl's house he found it a very nice sort of a place, for Mrs. Owl kept it neat and clean. And when the next morning came Puss gave them a gold piece and climbed down the tree and set off once more upon his Journey of adventure. And by and by he came to a little house, so he peeked through the open lndow. “What are you doing, my little men?” asked Puss Junior. “Making coats for gentlemen,” replied six little mice, who were seated around a table busily sewing. v “Shall I come in and bite off your threads?" asked Puss with a grin. “No! No! You might bite off our heads.” And before he could say a word they scampered away. Wasn’t that too bad? For Puss never would have harmed them, and, besides, wonder what the gentlemen will say when they don’t get their coats on time. Perhaps they will give these six little tailor mice a dread ful seolding.—Copyright. 1920. (To be Continued.) SAY "DIAMOND DYES” Don’t streak or ruin your material In a poor dye.

Why does it have to begin in the middle of the night?" growled Jim as he made ready to hurry off to work. "A fellow ought to be Johnny-on-the spot the first morning after his sisters arrive!

When I took down the receiver Jim’s voice greeted me: “I'm at the Rochambeau, Anne; got off an hour early and stopped to see Virginia.

"Oh, Jim, dear, I phoned at tea and the operator said that Virginia and Phoebe had gone out, leaving no mes sage, so I didn’t leave word either—l thought It wasn’t any use!" I cried. “I’m sorry, dear,” said Jim again. “I think I’ll have to make up to Virginia for our lack of attention by going with her now to look at two apartments she has seen.

That’s the only thing to do, isn't it?” V “I suppose so,” I agreed, but as I spoke and while Jim was saying good bye I wondered would he have asked me to join him and his sisters even if Neal hadn't been here? I turned away with a feeling of numb ness. And it wasn’t until I heard a wild buzzing a few mlnutee later that I realized I had forgotten to hang up tho receiver. I hurried to the phone, but got the tantalizing old reply: “There’s no one on the lipe now.
