Gay Street was a low stand
piled with kitchenware. A few
mischievous boys played around,
trying to make friends with a huge
niastifr which eat patiently on the
sidewalk. waiting for someone with-
in tho store.
“You don‘t dare!" challenged one
boy to another.
Jimmy Smith elevated a freckled
nose. and maneuvered his way to
the display stand. In a moment he
had a shining tin pail and was offer-
ing the handle to Bobs. the dog.
That was how it happened that peo-
ple smiled as they saw the big dog
sitting patiently. holding the pail in
OUTSIDE the hardware store on
his mouth. Around the corner
peered four freckled faces. eyes
ashine with delight.
An old lady walking slowly along
dropped a dime in the pail. and
went on. Bob. moved an apprecia-
tive tail. A young man absorbed in
his newspaper saw the outline of
the supplicant's figure, dropped an-
other dime in the pull. and to this
day believes that he contributed to
the welfare of a hunchbncked blind
man. As each coin tinkled in the
pail. Bobs waved his tail across the
pavement, and the boys danced
with Joy.
Then. at last. came Jerry Lamson,
He was late in getting to his ofl‘lce
and had not a moment. to spare. but
when he saw the shining pail and
the great golden eyes of Bobs. he
paused long enough to pat Bobs on
his splendid head. and flick a. dollar
bill into the pail.
This was too much for the watch-
ing boys and they made a dash for
the pail. Jerry. suspicious, watched
them and smiled. Bobs growled
deep in his chest and showed his
fangs. He had something to guard.
“It's darned‘queer." thought Jerry
Lamson. and hurried on as he
went back to the hardware store
and entered. The proprietor was in
the distant background talking to a
customer.
"Is that your dog out there?”
asked Jerry. "The one holding a
pail for pennies."
"A pail for pennies?" asked a new
voice. and the customer turned
around. Jerry watched as she came
down the store. walking with the
free stride of an outdoore' girl: her
fair hair shone under a bright little
felt hat, her face was charming. her
clothes expensively simple. From
one gloved hand dangled a. leash.
"I left my dog outside." she said.
going to the door.
Jerry was holding it open for her.
"He doesn‘t look like a begging
dog." he remarked. ‘
Bobs turned appealing eyes to his
mistress.
"Poor old boy." murmured the
girl. "S meone played a cruel joke
on us. idn‘t they? I'll take the
pail. Bobs. and we will give the
money to the blind man on the next
block." She emptied the money into
her hand. and replaced the pail.
"Don't you dare laugh at him!" she
said to Jerry. "it would break his
heart to be made ridiculous."
Jerry bared his head. “There isn't
anything amusing about it." he said
a little stimy. He smiled down at
Bobs. and Bobs thrust a friendly
muzzle into his hand.
Jerry replaced his hat and went
on. Jean Manners watched him out
of sight. "Isn‘t he splendid?" she
thought, and blushed in the think-
ing. "Bobs liked him. and his judg-
ment of men is infallible."
As Jean and Bobs rounded the
corner on the way home a group of
little boys scurried away. Bobs
growled deep in his chest. and Jean
knew that they were the lads who
had given Bobs the pail to hold.
Not so long afterwards Jean and
Jerry met in a conventional manner
at an evening party. and mutual et-
trsction led to a rapid wooing on
the part of Jerry. a very successful
lawyer. and within four months the
engagement was announced. By
is time Bobs and .lcrry were de-
voted friends
Then. when a lovers' quarrel
came. and stayed. black and menac-
ing so that the two strong natures
clashed, and parted, then Bobs was
lonesome and depressed.
Both of the young people were
aching to make up again, but the
same lofty pride dominated each of
them. They both rcsolvcd to forget.
Bobs didn't forget. and one morn-

cure of his destination. When he
reached the hardware store he
paused and looked up at Mr. Poet.
standing in his doorway.
"liullo. Bobs." he said.
Bobs barked a response and looked
at the display table and wagged his
tail. Mr. Peet laughed. “Want
something to carry. an 1’" he asked.
Reaching back he picked up a little
broken basket and offered it to the
open mouth. Clamp went the big
jaws. and there was Bobs. the
mendicant. once morc.
Mr. Peet dropped a bright penny
in the basket. and Bobs dashed off
down the street. the little basket
dangling from his mouth. Two
blocks down. and up a familiar
staircase to the first floor. The door
was open and the office boy laughed
when Bobs cleared the railing and
went straight toward .lcrry Lam-
son‘s door. marked "Private." Noth-
ing was private to Bobs when he
was after one he adored. He pushed
open the door and walked in. sitting
down beside Jerry's chair, and look-
ing up with such appeal in his eyes
that Jerry dropped his own sad face
down on the massive head. "Why
did you come alone. Bobs?" be
asked.
There was the smell of fresh vio-
lets. and there was Jean, :1 little
breathless. wistful.
"Forgive me, dearest." they said
in unison, and Bobs beamed his
approval. '
WHERE TO KEEP THE sum;
HERE do you keep the
w bread?
For years the accepted
method of keeping bread was to
put. it in a big stone crock. with a
tight-fitting cover. where it re-
mained fresh and sweet. Then
the metal bread bpx came into
vogue. and that is also a satis-
factory container.
The real question is. probably:
How do you keep the bread? That
is."the most important thing is to
keep the bread in good condition.
wherever you keep it. Don't let
stale bread accumulate. Don’t let
the receptacle for the bread be.
come moist and damp. If a bit
of mould does come on a piece
of bread. destroy it. take all the
broad out and heat it in the oven
for five or ten minutes. and give
the bread box an extra scalding
and sunning.
In .very damp warm weather
mould is a. serious subject in some
localities. But if you air the
bread-box every day. and take out
stale bread as soon as it accumu-
lates. you need not be troubled
with mould. Only buy or make a
small supply of bread at a time.
it is large quantities of bread on
hand that cause much of the
trouble. There is too much and
the surplus begins to mould.

persistently as in the days when it

nomenclature by the coming of the
archers from France. Alison signi-
fies “fumous war"; it has its origin
in the Karling romances. Three

scendant of Hugh Capet brought it
into vogue again after which it came

Etyrnologiete believe that thin

Scotland in this form. but it had too
foreign a sound for Scottish ell"
and the subsequent change to Alison
represented an effort to preserve the
romantic tradition of the name with-

Allow two potatoes for each in-
dividual to be served and after
peeling let stand in cold water.
Place in a baking dish. allowing
a tablespoon and one-half for each
potato. Stir the potatoes round

THEN—AND NOW
The old rule among men who
regarded themselves as well versed
in matters of social conduct used
to be that when a man married.
all his acquaintance with former
companions ceased automatically.
and that the friends of his bache-
lor days were friends no more un-
less they received cards from him.
This pnctice was based on the
supposition that a bachelor might
with impunity associate with
pretty much whom he wished, and
that he might dine or sup‘with
persons inqu his inferior socially,
if be chose to. without actually
lowering his own social standards.
Needless to say. an unmarried
women had no such privileges. As
soon as the men married he put
away bachelor privileges. and lest
he should bring discredit upon his
wife by carrying over into married
life with him some of his more
questionable friendships. these
friendships automatically ceased.
and no one had the right to feel
offended when they did so termi-
nate. To be a friend of a men in
bachelor days was one thing; to
be made to understand that that
friendship was to last after mar-
riage was another thing.

THE ASTER SHADE
There is a deep rich purple that
is well called aster. because it fol-
lows so closely the hue of the pur-
ple aster that shares with golden
rod the task of painting the fields
and roadsides in autumn. Per-
sonally you may prefer this color
when it mingles with an autumnal
landscape. You may not like to
see it worn on fat women in city
streets in the bright sunshine of
a midsummer day. You may not
consider it an ideal shade for the
work-a-day frock of your hus-
band's stenographer. You may
protest when your debutante
daughter announces her intention
of wearing a. sport frock of this
almbst suffocating shade of pur-
ple. But you really cannot deny
that it is both smart and popular.

Common Errors in English and How
to Avoid Them
By C. N.,LURIE
AND "HUliIANE”
“H I: has. made reparation for
"atoms“
the wrong, so far as it was
humanely possible for him
to do so."
The word "humanely" in used in-
correctly in the foregoing quotation
from a newspaper article. It should
be “humanly."
The adverb "humanely." from the
adjective "humane." means “in a
manner that shows kindlinecs. con-
sideration. compassion. cm. toward
other human beings and the lower
animals; in a. benevolent or sympa-
thetic manner." as in the sentence.
"Housing his stock carefully for the
winter. he was humanely consider-
ate of their welfare. and also careful
of his own material interests.”
“Humenly” means "in a hunihn
manner: that is, in a manner that
is considered characteristic of a
human being. or of mankind u a
human race." Its proper use is
illustrated in the sentence with
which this article opens. u cerrected
to read: "He has made reparation
for the wrong. so far as it was
humanly possible for him to do so.”

Till RADIO PRIMER
Ole Dolly m For Listeners
The Radio Compass is an applica-
tion of the fact. discussed in the
Primer recently. that certain kinds
of antennas can be made directional,
so that they receive the signals
from a given station only when
they are pointed more or less ac-
curately toward that station.
The simplest form of radio com-
rue is merely a loop. Any kind'cf
loop antenna will do, so long as the
axis of the loop is vertical and the
loop can be rotated around this axis
so that the edge of the loop can be
made to point in any desired direc~
tion.
it is apparent that if you turn this
loop around slowly until you hear a
certain station with maximum in—
tensity you knew then that one of
the edges of the loop is pointing
toward that station. In actual prac-
tice it is customary to turn the loop
to the point of minimum signal. in-
stead of to the point of maximum
signal. The point of least intensity
is always easier to identify by ear
than is the point of greatest in-
tensity.
If a circle. graduated in degrees
like the card of a compass. is at-
tached to such a loop you .-:m read
off from this circle the direction of
the sending station that you are re—
ceiving. You cannot determine, of
course. whether the station is in
front or behind you; the loop. you
remember. receives from two direc—
tinnI.. But in most cases. as. for
example, on a ship at sea. you know
the general direction of the sending
much. All that you need the radio
compe- fcr is to make the direction
more exact.
OLD THINGS
Old things are but. I'm sure of that.
Have I not sung the ancient bat?
Old shoes are easier on the feet.
Old friends are always best to meet.
Youth laughs and dances, yes. and
sings.
But older hearts must have old
things.
Old things are best. if friends or
shoes.
The best to own. the best to use.
New things would bend you to their
will. ,
Old things have shared your good
and ill.
And do the way that old things do.
And try to fit themselves to you.
And so an old man says to youth:
Yes. all you say is all the truth.
New times are here and later days.
And yet old men must go old ways;
For. when a bended thing you take,
The thing you bend you often break.
Old things are best when men are
' old.
And youth may laugh. and youth
may scold.
But we shall wear the ancient hat.
The ancient shoes. and all of that.
Content to own until life ends
A few old things. a few old friends.
