CHAPTER ONE Beside the mailbox, bearing the name of Harry (.'. Thomas, stoo.l a young girl of some nine or ten years. She whistled shrilly and two other girls o\' about her age came out ot the shrubbery. "Did'ya Ma give you a dime for ice cream, Harriet?" asked one. "I was lucky even to get out," replied Harriet Thomas. "Here comes the ice cream man. I'll handle the negotiations." An elderly, weary mail, driving a decrepit car, stopped at her hail. He glared at them resent fully. "It's no use. My boss says there Ain't no such thing as an ice cream wagon with charge accounts." "I got another proposition. Mr. Green," said Harriet. "My two friends here have got dimes. They're willing to buy two tee creams for cash, if I get one free." "Oh, no!" said the driver. "Let's go to Hosey's tee cream parlor," said Harriet to her com- panions. They had gone but a few feet when Mr. Green called: "Wait a minute! They each got dimes?" "Right! They buy for ca*h n<l I get one free for brinimg the bus- iness." "Three ice creams for twenty cents," Mr. Green figured mentally for a moment. "All right. " He dish- ed up three ice creams and the three little girls began eating them. "Come, where are the dimes?" "Mine's home." said Harriet's etoo^e, Emily, gulping the rest ot the ice cream.

"Your dress is just as clean as wht-n you put It on. Rim upstairs and wash your hands . . . Why, what's the matter, dear?" The little ffrl was twitching as though hit by a spurt of ice cold water. "Nothing, mother. It's Uirued a httle chilly, I think." "Chilly? Aren't you feeling well? Why, your teeth are chattering!" "I'm all right. I'll wa*b up, like you said." "But d-arlinjj, are you sure?" She pressed Harriet dote. "1 must take your temperature. Why, it is ehilly all of a sudden!" Stepping back to look at her daughter, Mrs. Thom- as saw the chocolate ice cream oozing thruugh the child's d^ees. "We gotta face it, Mom. Things just have to Inppen when I'm around!" "Yes, 1 know," sighed Mrs. Thomas, "t'pstairs with jon! Change everything down to your skin.

After a pause, she continued: "I ... I really hadn't regarded you in last light." Another pause. "I really never thought of you in that way." Then again: "It's a very serious tiueston you've asked me . . . It's not that I don't regard it as an hon- or ... Marriage is an Important matter. A woman can't a girl can't just say yes or no as simply as all that." "Let me in, Mary," said Harriet. Aifter some hesitation the door was opened. "You all alone?"

Frequently fullness de- velops from below the waistline, from a section suggesting yoke, with this same curved or pointed outline repeated in the bodice, in a shoulder yoke. * * Xew jackets are sometimes boxy, sometimes easily fitted, and skirts show definite approval <if pleats, but always with accent on smooth htplines. * Separate dresses have an im- portant look, sometimes all-over tucked, with novelty tuckings, and especially attractive in sheets, extending from neckline to horn, and the finest sort of tucks make decorative scroll designs on orepe afternoon dresses.

Greasy Pans Should Be Least of Worries Washing greasy pans need not be a painful job for the house- wife. Pour out the fat while the pan is still hot, then fill the pan with hot. soapy water and allow to soak until dishwashing time. If the water has then become cool and bits of grease cling to the pan, refill with hot water, let it boil up on the stove for a min- ute or two. then wash in strong soap suds in the regular manner. Rinse in clear hot water and dry. Certain types of wool are | known as "botany" because the first shipment of Australian morin > wool was nuvle from Bot- ny Bay.

Here are directions for a routine, that she advocates auJ which she does regularly: Lie flat on your back on the floor with ankles ahoitt a foot apart. Try to relax the entire body as much as possible. Now, without bending knee, hut without stiffen- ing it unnecessarily, lift right les about a foot off the floor, then let it fall. Repeat, lifting left leg and then letting it fall to the fl-i-jr. To ke-ep heels from getting bunr ?! during this exercise, place a thiu pillow on the floor under them.

Two things the hostess keeps in mind is to have something a little different, yet economical and also a menu that will be for her as simple as possible, that her energies may be con- served for enjoying her guests to the utmost.

This means that any point on the circumference is moving at 55. 8 miles a minute! The principle of the gyroscope has been known for centuries, and many boys own toy gyroscopes. It was from one of these that Elmer A. Sperry, inventor ot' the Sperry Gyroscope, got his idea. Gyroscopes are used mainly in mono-rail trains, air liners, and huge sea-going steamships, and they range in weight from 60 Ib. to more than 1 00 tons. Those in huge liners are installed in a special room and are looked after by an expert, because they ; n- crease the speed of the ship, pr- 1 - vent rolling, and prevent sea sick- ness.
