Tim Turner, who is in love with Ruth, asks her to marry him, but she wisely refuses as they are both so poor. Tim goes to the city to make enough money to marry her, and of course sees much of Myra, who is staying with a well-to-do cousin. Ruth, at Brst. is glad that her two best

I haven't had time for good times for a long while, because I have had to work every day as soon as school was out. I never liked to go to school anyhow because my clothes were so poor, . and so while the other girls stayed to play games I was glad to go home and work.

I , am very homely. My bair is

straight and I can't fix it any way to look nice. My face isn't pretty, but I try to be pleasant to everyone. Old folks seem to like me, and babies and dogs. But I am not popular with those of my age. My class mates and neighbor girls have parties, but I am never invited and I cannot have any parties because we are so poor. I want to be happy and do right, but when I see girls my age going past with pretty clothes and having good times I just want to sit down and cry. I don't very often, though, because I don't admire cry-babies. Do you think I could find some

That is, s-he had enough people in her house to cover the exnenses of it, sh sent mrmey several times to her mother and father, and was glad to know that it went for clothes they had to have. She was obliged to buy herself a few inexpensive things, and fehe was rtill hoping to be able to pay their

fare home and save enough over the summer to go to the city in the fall. , So matters stood when the first warm breezes came, when the snow melted and the sun came warmly through the windows. The world was going through the generally mussy, muddy period that always precedes the great burst, of sun and green grass and flowers, and that means spring. In the city spring never comes so prettily.

that he wronged Ruth when he put his arms around Myra. but so does habit accustom us to everything that in a few weeks he had lost all such ideas! But these caresses, to which she yielded, were all that Myra was able to accomplish. She wanted to make Tim love her, and while he called her sweet little names, as he petted her, fche could not make him say that. The more he resisted her, the more intenaelv s-he wanted his love.

Call at homes where you think your wares might be appreciated, and see if you can get orders. It is very difficult for a little girl of your age to earn money unless she does it by cooking or sewing.

You would probably make money, but you may be sure that the company would make ample profit on your work as well. You are a brave little girl and I admire your spirit. Happiness is ahead of you because you are earning it by hard work and a cheerful attitude.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olivecolored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness" and that lary feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver.

Here are 10 good solid reasons why we feature L'Aiglon Gingham Dresses and why you should buy them

II II

NUMBER ONE L'AIGLON Dresses are not made to meet a price, but to establish a standard of value. NUMBER TWO That, while made with all due care for prevention of waste in production, no expense is spared in making L.AIGLON Dresses as near 100 per cent perfect as is humanly possible. It is the little refinements of making which add the big value in the eyes of the woman who cares. NUMBER THREE There is no skimping of the material in order to save the yardage in making. NUMBER FOUR All sizes are cut generally full. NUMBER FIVE Patterns are drafted by skilled fashion designers, and style experts and the dreses follow these patterns with closest exactness.

NUMBER SIX Every seam is sewed twice. Seams of L'AIGLON Dresses won't rip in wear. NUMBER SEVEN The finest and strongest spool thread only is used. NUMBER EIGHT The small stitches mean more time, but add that nicety of finish found in made-to-order garments. NUMBER NINE A trained staff of inspectors watches every operation, every detail, and a final, scrupulously conscientious examination is made of the finished ready-to-wear L'AIGLON Dress. NUMBER TEN "Not how quickly it can be made but how well it can be made," is the ruling in the making of L'AIGLON Dresses.
