He took off his glasses and cleaned them .thoughtfully on his new silk handkerchief. Whether or not to propose to Gladys this Sunday afternoon as they walked in the park was the question uppermost in his mind, He liked Gladys; he believed that he loved her. He did wish that she . moodily were a little "classier, as he termed It to himself. He wished this now especially, for he saw coming down the street the girl with the tiny pup on the long chain, the girl whom he had called to himself the golden girl ever since he had first seen her. It had been three weeks ago today that she had strolled by the. boarding house where Gladys had her half room with one of the other girls who worked with her at the beauty shop. The golden girl had been on the opposite side of the street, which was shadier in the afternoon because of the tall trees that grew In the narrow parking space. Tom wished that she would walk nearer, for though he strained his eyes he could not see her as distinctShe ly as he would have liked to. was a small girl, not more than five, feet, and the tiny pup that pulled on the chain suspended from her hand 6eemed to be about all she could manTom knew that if she walked age. in the park she would hang on the arm of the man she was with. Gladys never hung. In the first place, Gladys was- a full four or five inches taller, and came up to Toms shoulder. Before he had seen the golden girl . he had never thought much about it, but after that he noticed that Gladys happened to hold her elbow as they passed through a crowd, aad Tom e would have liked her to be the type. And then the clothes of the golden girl! Every time he had seen her on a Sunday afternoon she had had on a golden brown suit of some silky material that shone in the sunlight, a gold lace hat, and even her stockings had golden clocks embroidered on the sides. But It was her hair that seemed to Tom the most wonderful thing about her. It was the goldiest golden he had ever seen, and fluffed out under her bat. Today she was wearing a long dolman cape with the same golden tints. At this moment in his raptures Gladys came out of the door of the boarding house, closed the screen door without a bang and joined him. "Well? she said. Gladys always said well in just the same way every time he came. In that well she seemed to ask worlds, and Tom wondered if they did marry if she would continue to say well in just that way for the rest of their lives. But Tom had not asked her yet, and as he looked from her blue tricotine suit and tan oxfords back to the golden girl in her dolman and d slippers he determined not to be hasty. He would not ask her today, at any rate. There was al ways plenty of time, and besides he was fairly sure that Gladys never went out with any one else, and so until he gave the signal there was nothing she could do but wait. "Shes a pretty little kid, isnt she? lie said, indicating by a jerk of his hand the golden girl with her dog who was by now almost opposite the board- cling-ing-vin- i . high-heele- Fervently he wished that ihe guide; girl had stayed safely within hei home until he and Gladys had . left. He would not have minded it at aR U she had tried to quarrel; It was hei very quiet way that disturbed him. On the boarding house porch sat the Tom stared and went golden girl. quickly up the steps. The golden girl when seen closely was a gilded wbifian of ripe age. Her hair was quite evidently bleached, and had been for years, so dry and harsh was it., Her face had tiny wrinkles that were well filled with, powder. Say, girlie, greeted his golden girl to Gladys, Ive gotta chance to go on the road tonight if you can touch my hair up a bit. I phoned the woman who runs the beauty 6hop and she said that you were so obliging that maybe youd open up the store, and fix me up. Ill give you a good- tip, honey, 11 youll do it Course, at my age, never expect nobody to do something fer nothing. Gosh, no. Not in the Her voice was harsh city, anyhow. and grating, and Tom cringed as he realized that she had spoken so loudly that passersby had heard her. Yes, Miss De Touraine, surely. Pll be over there in a half hour, responded Gladys in a low tone. "Say, Gladys, whispered Tom, as the golden girl trailed down the steps clutching her dolman about her. I had something that I wanted to ask you If I come around to the shop today. to get you do you that is, would you like me to come and ask you the question? And Gladys cuplds bow mouth, that was pink from nature, rather than a rouge stick, curved ever sc slightly as she nodded assent -- ALL REPTILES HAVE r,eQrpFirL1 at are made at Home are as much Interested In each season as they are In necessary clothing, and for very good reasons.

Tlys designers of neckwear, veilings, gloves, jewelry, coiffure ornaments, fans and bags are quite as busy as the creators of suits and coats and find as ready a market for their wares.

Little tots of three are proudly conscious of their splendor in gay little coats and bonnets of taffeta, and when they pay their formal visits to ' grandmamma they are more than likely to find her spending the afternoon in a charming black frock of this same fabric. Taffeta finds itself in Increased demand this season for the clothes of young misses.

An English scientist says reptiles are venomous even that all the harmless snakes. The bite of a common grass snake is poisonous even though it may no! prove fatal. For the snakes which have no poison fangs have venom in their blood and saliva, and this at once penetrates the minute wounds made with their teeth. Frogs, toads and lizards are poisonous. The poison they secrete varies greatly in odor. Some smells like garlic; that of certain kinds of toads smells rather like gunpowder, but the common toad produces a poison with the fragrance of vanilla. Most fish contain small quantities of poison, as many fishermen know to their cost. Dogfish sting with their fins. These fins are actually poison fins. On the fins are thin spines which have poison glands at their base. When irritated or alarmed the fish erects the spines and the movement draws a drop of poison up through a groove in them hence, when a fishermans hand is scratched by a dogfish a drop of poison gets into the wound. Strangely enough, the venom of snakes, toads and fishes acts upon man and lower animals only when it is introduced into circulation, as by a bite or an injection into the veins. Snake poisons could be swallowed with Im. Bilk Scarfs for Afternoon and Evening. there Is a vogue for dark colors two things that make accessories more im' portant than ever. There are many dressy scarfs and they are nearly all handmade, of various silk weaves, with crepes aud satins the favorites. For more practical wear scarfs of knitted silk and those of wool are manufactured and on display in all dry goods shops. Two pretty silk scarfs, for afternoon or evening, are illustrated here and they will interest the woman who likes to make such things for herself or as gifts. They may be made of silk or satin and lined with the same or with georgette crepe. Narrow ribbons, plain or figured or with metallic edges, are ':: CHILDBIRTH winners Mrs. WPams Tells How LycOa E.

Such a coop may lx made from waste lumber salvaged fron boxes or second-han- d half inch material.

The coo; should be nailed together with the supports of the slats or cover on thi top, which should be put on witl screws or hinges and hooks, so that. H may be easily opened. This is import, ant, as the top of cover must be opened each time the coop is used, and if pul on with nails it is soon broken and thi coop spoiled. There are standard sizes of coop, which commonly are used for shipping poultry, the dimensions of these con tainers varying according to the nuin ber of fowl to be transported. Th following dimensions should be used In constructing tbe coop : For one hen oi cock, 12 inches wide, 18. inches long and 24 Inches high; for two hens oi one hen and cock, 12 inches wide, 2.
