Keeping House With the Hoopers

[The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems oi the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally In an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.]

MONDAY. After dinner Sunday, Helen ami her. father had talked long and earnestly about the new dress that he had impulsively bought and brought home to his little daughter because she bad expressed a desire for a bright, red. furtrimmed frock like the one Alice Briggs was wearing. A love for pretty clothes was one of Helen's strongest traits, and while her mother always kept her well and becomingly dressed and the women of Mayfield were agreed that she was the best groomed child in town, Irrespective of how much they spent on the clothes of their own small daughters, she always had a longing—very seldom expressed—for a dress that had been bought, ready-made In a store, and which would have about it some of the bright, flashy style that always marked the clothes of the two little Briggs girls. And, left to his own resources, her father was not able to resist the temptation to gratify her when she had told him about Alice Briggs' new winter dress and how much she wanted one like it. So

after leaving the office on Saturday he had gone to the store in the city where Helen had said Mrs. Briggs had bought the dress, and, extracting 512 from his weekly pay envelope, he had purchased It,-and carried it home to his delighted little daughter. As soon as Helen had put It on and looked at herself in the glass she knew instinctively that it wasn't at all the kind of dress that her mother would have chosen for her. She knew that It didn't look right, but in spite of this fact, she still liked the brilliant color and the Stylish effect of the gray for trimming. W hen she returned to the porch to show it to her father Roger and her grandmother had come from -the basement where they had 'all been busy making the quince jelly, to see what the excitement was about. “Oh, my dear, I don’t like at all,” was her grandmother’s discouraging comment. “It is a dreadful color and looks horrid with your hair and eyes.” "Well, of all the old-copy-cats," exclaimed Roger In disgust, “it's exactly like Alice Brig.cs’ dress. And 1 bet Mother won’t let you wear it.” Helen looked at her rather in distress. “Don’t you think It’s pretty, Dad?” she asked doubtfully. “It's just exactly what I wanted.” “Well, I don’t know,” answered Mr. Hooper with a puzzled note in his voice. “I don’t like it as well on you, Helen, as I did when I saw It in the shop, it certainly isn't so pretty as the dress you wear to church on Sunday. There Is something wrong about It, but 1 don't know what it la." “Oh, aren't you going to let me keep It?” asked Helen with tears In her eyes, “I like It so much, and you’ll all get used to it after a while.” “Well, before we decide as to keeping it,” answered her father, “We'll have to consider what your mother might think about it. After all we may have been too hasty about buying it.” And when he and Helen had talked it over later, Mr. Hooper had concluded by saying, “You take until Monday morning to decide whether you really want to beep it or not. We are all agreed that It doesn't become you a bit. Your grandmother says that the color Is too bright and flashy, and Roger thinks it's a great mistake for you to wear a dress that is exactly like Alice Briggs! I know now that I paid a great deal more for it than your mother wo'uld have spent for a dress for you; and I have probably upset her budget much worse than you and your grandmother did when you went over your food allowance. But I am going to let you decide yourself what you want to do about It under the circumstances. “Can you return It and get ytfur money back l ?” Helen asked. “Oh, yes.” replied her father, “that was understood when I bought It.” “Then I think you’d better take it back. Dad,” said Helen gloomily. “I know that

PUSS IN BOOTS j R. Br David Cery

Well, as I told you In the last story. Puss in Boots Junior and his feathered steed, Goosey Goosey Gander left the schoolhouse in search of Mary and her little lamb. But when th;y came to her house, which was now in New Mother Goose Land, they were so disappointed, for, Mary had a little Pom, Its hair was black as jet. And everywhere that Mary went She took her little pet. She put him in the Kennel Show To win a ribbon blue, While Mary walked around to give A social bow or two. And while she did society, Poor doggie pined and cried, And in a day or two, alas! Poor little Fldo died. ‘•Dear me!” said little Puss Junior, as Mary finished telling him her troubles. "You should have stayed in Old Mother Goose Land.” “But my lamb grew Into a big sheep and I grew up, too, and father moved, and—well, here I am, without any pet at all,” said Mary sadly. “.I wish you’d stay, dear Puss Junior.” “I can’t,” replied our small hero. Goosey Goosey Gander and I are on the wing, I might say. for we sail above the earth as swiftly as an airship.” And with these words he mounted the gander and was off again upon his Journey of adventure. “And now whither shall we go?” asked Goosey Goosey Gander. “I do not know,” said Puss. “Let us keep a-golng While the wind Is blowing; Never sad, always glad, With new hope a-glowlng!” And then how that gander did spread his wings and fly! And by and by they came to a green wood, and so they came down to earth to rest In the shade and eat their lunch. But when Puss Junior opened his lunch basket there was nothing in It. Wasn’t that too lad! You toe, he had forgotten to have it filled. Well, there was nothing to do but take a nap, and so they lay down and went to sleep, and I'uss Junior dreamed about the time he met the Pieman going to the fair, and how he had eaten cranberry tarts and drank lemon-. ode with the country boy named Simple Simon. And he was Just going to bay another tart when the Pieman said to Simple Simon: “Show me your penny,” and while he was fumbling in his pocket he woke up. And of course the Pieman was gone and he was as hungry as ever, and in the next atory I hope he’il get a good lunch, for a traveler must eat to be mer ~f and gay/—-Copyright, 1921.

Mother wouldn't like it any better than the rest of you do. Besides, I don't want to put her in another hole with her budget.” “Well, I’m. glad you’re gblng to send that old red rag back,” said Roger leeringly as Helen appeared before breakfas’ Monday morning with the dress carefully wrapped up and handed it to her father as he came into the dining room. Helen said nothing but her sigh of regret was long and deep when her father tucked the box under his arm and carried it away with him to the city.

"My husband aays he better In ev 'ry way since taking Pepgen,” aays Mrs. Anna Harrison of 416 V& Bright street, Indianapolis. “For a long time my husband suffered with his stomach.
