wanted some music' and singing and
'was very glad they could all cows.

As el* talked to them, she eat at
the piano playing softly little alluring:
suatclies of ragtime and old country -
dame music, and see asked if they
supposed there was room enough in
the hall for some of thelltt���o dance
while Della was getting thrum' ready
out in the kitchen for the Gaudy -pull -
Ing. She looked toward Gordon for a
reply and he at once asked Kitty San-
born if she would try It with him.
Then Joe Anderson went over to Ruth
White (who was tapping her toe in
time to the musk) and asked her it
she would start off with hie. The
music was now changing into a lively
little two-step and soon four couples
were forgetting their embarrassment
Iu the witchery of the dance.
Sister Sue turned to Tom White
while she was playing and asked him
please to bring Grace Walker to the
piano so they could talk and arrange
for some Bongs right after giving the
canters a few more turns at the two-
step.
In a few minutes the music began
to slow down. The dancers clapped
for more, but Sister Sue 'smiled and
let it drift into the familiar little
melodies of "Oki Kentucky Home,"
"In the Starlight," "Musk In the Air,"
and at a nod frodt her Tom and Grace
began to sing "Annie Laurie,' then
following it with "Clementine" and
"Jingle Belle," and Boon the voices of
the whole crowd were heard either
Joining in or humming at parts of the
chorus until Della appeared frpm the
kitchen announcing :
"If you folks want to pall any
candy. tow's the- Mass Ants come
quick T-•-
With the boys' "Hurrah for atelia :"
and, "You bet we want to pull candy :"
and the girlie excited little screams
and shrieks of laughter, they all
rushed into the kitchen, where lkafa
hail two or three well -buttered Plates
of thick manses of soft, bot sugar
ready for pulling.
"Now, some of you }tett get nut on
that back piazza ; there ain't room
enough for all of you in here," she
told them ; "I've got to have eitaidiu'-
ruom while I learn some of you how
to pull it."
Then she rubbed flour over her
hands and took up one of the portions
of motif hot sugar. stretching it out and
folding it together quickly and repeat-
ing thin a few times, ueeastotully
flourishing or buttering her hands
lightly_ to_ revert the sugar's sticking
to therm.
"Now, Joe, you an' Kitty wash your
hands lin' wipe 'eat dry ale rub them

Thum Della put them to work, tw'ud-
ing some out on the back piazza where,
with ahrleks and laughs and "Ola, wy
hands are all aticky ! " and "It's hot.
take it quick !" and "You almost
dropped It ! " they soon had a very
creditable array of platters and pain
covered with long strips ready to be
cut up into sticks and email pieces of
real old-fashioned molasses candy.
Della attended to cutting it up and
putting it on to smaller plates and
setting it outdoors to cool. In the
kitchen Frauk Woods and some of the
girin had made a Manful of poleoru
toile and these were outdoors ewling
with the sandy. Then the 14075 helped
Della wash the dishes and the girls
wiped them..;)
Meanwhile, in the big parlor, Sister
Sue had arrange) the tables and
chairs and had brow ht In some cake
and lemonade, and s ready for the
young people, who w• were beglnuing
to come in with ate« heaped with
the candy and popcorn halls of their

one of those Dept or girls experlenceil
the real fun and frolic, the jollity and
genuine sport of getting together and
spending an evening as they were
spending that one at the old Gilmore
homestead that night in October.

making•-Slster Sue was lightly touch-

she would let them go. After that,
somewhat reluctantly, they went ape.
stairs for their tuts and wraps. The
boys. as they came down. told Sister
Sue her "party" was the "'salt thing
ever," and that she was "all right"
and "we hope you will have another
one soon." The girls told her they ,
enjoyed the dance. and candy, and
everything, and just wished they could
have her to their home-, einuetlwe.
"I thank every out: of you so much
for coming to -night. and If you will
Dome again I shall be very glad.
You've all made me very happy, and
I am so glad you Have eujuytd it, too."
said Sister Sue to T>fent itserhey went
down the walk.
"You'rea brick : A regular brick ! "
exclaimed Gordon as she closed the
door, nod In. emphasized his statement
with a bug—a very unusual thing for
him to do. "I was laving a tough
time getting the felkrws to stay • they
would come here until 1 told them

they wanted to. They took my word
for It, and now the whole bunch wants

"Bully good Idea ' " exclaimed Gor-
don as he 'started ttestalrs for bed.

"Good -night. Gordon ".
And that niglit a t. toy tirel but n

Oona upon a Time there lived a Merchant Prince
who forted a email ADV-ERTISING Cant in his

That is a fable
But it still represents some folk's ideas
of advertising.
ADVERTISING won't make any man or
firm rich over night, hut, if intelligently
used with posist.Ncy, it will multiply cus-
tomers, increase turnover, swell profits and
build such goodwill for the advertiser as
nothing else will.
