In these years that fall between 1
tothood and flapperdom, the de-
mure school days. little girls are
not cruelly abandoned and neglect- |
od by Dame Fashion, indeed, some
very charming modes are evolved
just for the betwixt-and-between
little girl of 8 or 9 or 10.
A quaint frock le ong with a
square neck, a straight and se-
vere little bodice, lacing primly up
the front. and a full gathered
akirt stitched to the bodice and
worn without girdle or belt of auy
description. For a slender little
girl this short waisted model is in-
teresting because of its very sim-
plicity.
An idea borrowed from her
mother's newest (rock is the long-
waisted effect and the clever
scheme of bringing a little up-
and down fullness into soft little
folds’on the under-arm seam. Thia
la equally effective in jersey
frocks, which are so much liked
for school frocks for girls, or in
other soft materials.
Now, Peggina, use a little of your
old sense! Let's broil that steak!"
Was ever a bride so distressed:
Was ever a steak so neatly bal-
anced between old and new us-
I toms for married women?
Never before had it occurred to
me that anything, not even my
marriage, could menace the frank
friendship which had existed be-
tween Bart Elliot and me.
As a pioneer in a new order of
more liberty for wives, what was
I going to do!
Do as my mother would have
done—and lose Bart forever?
Follow my owh radical notions
—and risk Jack!
In spite of our agreement I
realised It might amount to that.

“It must be a joke,” said Nan-

But another voice called out.
“Go back! Oh, go back! If you

Back they started, running hard.
Suddenly Nick stopped. “Old

pity that her daughter's marriage
should be postponed on account of
high rents, but I think a girl of 19
could easily wait a year or two. It
will be better to keep the other
children in school as long as pos-
sible, even tho it is a bitter strug-
gle.
But the question is, “Can't
something be done in Fort Worth
against the rent profiteers!”
Who can answer it!

dom of the Korsknotts was called
the Valley of Voices.
i Everything looked all right— lit-
deed it was a lovely place, but
the dove told them that Halloo
Hallo lived there, and that as he
Vas another cousin of Twelve
Toes, the Sorcerer,' it was more
than likely he would cause them
trouble. ,<
“I’ll fly ahead,” tsaid the dove,
♦‘and ait on-the top branch of the
tallest tree in the other side of
the valley. Watch where I go and
follow—no matter what happens."
But no sooner bad the dove dis-
appeared than a voice right beside
them shouted fiercely, "Sit down.'
? Nancy and Nick were so surpris-
ed that they did as they were told.
Down they popped on a fallen log
and looked around wonderingly to
see who had spoken. But not a
soul appeared. Old Halloo Hallo
lived in '* tine-covered but in the
’middle of the valley, but as he was
miles off, the Twins couldn’t see
a him, of course. He could throw
his voice as far as he wished, and
W in any. direction be wished, and
V imitate anything he wished, whlck
p was likely to mix you up. Well,
the Twins sat and sat and as they
didn't see anything and nothing
more happened, they got up.
“We'll have to hurry," said Nan-
. "We must have made a mis-
take. Whoever was talking didn’t
mean us.”
But suddenly a little, weak
voice near the bushes beside the
said so.
“So—as long as you live—you
are pledged never to eat another
meal alone with me?”
Caught up thus between long
friendship and the traditions of
proper behavior for a married wo-
man, I was confused and hysteri-
, cal. To keep from weeping I gig-
gled.
"Wow!” Bart's preferred ex-
pression of extreme disgust. "Say,
Peggins! Let’s get this over. Do
you suppose that old Jack never,
never any more is going to take a
girl to lunch without you or some
third party along?”
“I—I’ve never thought about it
at all!" 1 exclaimed. And the idea
suddenly classified itself with
other novelties marriage was pre-
senting to me.
"01' Jack’s all right! I know
and you know. Bt . consider.
When his insurance crowd goes off
to conventions he’ll simply have to
take some of the women to dinners
and plays. Married or single, he
can't get out of it."
"I’m not going to object!” I re-
torted.
"And when Ala office has its
dances and picnics he'll have to
attend without you. None but the
employed girls allowed at business
social affairs. And there are some
women who play chess, you know.
And what are you going to say to
that?"
"I’m going to say ‘all right!' i
knew all that before I was en-
month. :
“We had always paid a high
rent for the little cottage we had.
A year ago it was sold and we
could find qothing in the city to
compare with it. I don’t want to
go to an apartment. There are
four of us and every since my hus-
band died I have tried to keep the
family together,” she says.
HAs MANY PROBLEMS
“The oldest -girl is 19. She
makes *20 a week at an insurance

Dear Betty:
I'm in my teens. I met a young
man I liked some time ago. I
have seen him since but haven't
talked to him. I hear he doesn’t
go with any girl. He told one of
his friends that he liked me very
much. I heard he wrote me a let-

you think he likes me?—ROSE.
If he likes you he has a poor
