Show TIIF HELPER TIMES. HELPER, UTAH Chloe and Her Clothes OUR COMIC SECTION D, DOROTHY a. DOUGLAS. Flalces (Couyrishl.) Events in the Lives of Little Mei TPUF.i:K was do doubt that Chloe lacked taste tn her choice of ciothi's. It's true, the lean wolf whs lirowling ahout her boarding-housdoor und poverty was no more conducive to exquisite clothes than it was to pood taste in wine. Still, all the rest of the boarders In the llohemlan who occupied rooms In Mrs. Kverly's house, agreed that If Chloe could put up a better sartorial appearance, she would most probably hind more engagements to sing. Now among that rather odd but fcroup of artists, literary folk and the like, was one whose physical body was chained daily to an office stool in a bank. It was big Tom Danvers who sighed most heavily as he watched the coinings and goings of Chloe In her atrocious dresses and hats. In his mind be was seeing her in the most exquisite of frocks and designing one after the other each one more lovely than the last Being on the best of terms with Mrs. Everly, Tom, In a wild moment of hope, consulted her about a scheme he had. "Could yu get some one to make a frock if I give you the design and material? I want to slip a present into that little. Miss Chloe's room anonymously, of course. You must help me. I know if she will just wear a gown I design she will have a heap of engagements before she knows it." "Her clothes are awful," admitted Mrs. Everiy and fell right into the scheme. "I have a cousin who will do the work. And I think I can talk Miss Chloe into accepting the gift. We'll tell her if she gets this big engagement, which I know she is after, that she can give us a big blow-out.- " "I say, you're a peach!" exclaimed young Tom. "I believe if she wears one of my designs she will perhaps be on the road to success for herself as well as well I hope some day to and launch into give up artistic work." "And good luck, my boy," said Mrs. Everiy. "Who would sit on a hard bank stool when he could be designing ladies' costumes I'd like to know?" So Tom himself purchased the exact material his fancy saw on Chloe and the design he sketched was nothing so much as a cloudy vapor of gray. And when the costume was made by Mrs. Everly's clever cousin, Tom was more than delighted. The frock was taken to Chloe's room that evening and laid carefully on the bed. And when Chloe saw it her eyes widened and her lips smiled she couldn't help admiring It. It was Mrs. Everiy who made up a nice yarn about its origin. "My cousin had It designed for some actress or other who turned It down when she saw it. You must just be a good girl now and put It on and s.o down to that big manager. If he the part you want, doesn't give well my name's not Everiy." Chloe cried just a little on the ample shoulder of her kind landlady. "You're too awfully, awfully kind." she quavered. "If I get the part I shall most certainly have your cousin design all my clothes and have her name in big letters on the program."'"You'll be leading us ail to success," laughed Mrs. Everiy, and In her heart rejoiced that the big Tom Danvers would share In this same success. So, when Chloe walked out of the boarding house that sunny afternoon, she trod as if on air, for she was looking like a poem of beauty. The frock was a complete and wonderful success. As she went into the manager's office the big man looked up and his eyes opened wide. Evidently some one had entered his otiice whom he was going to engage as his leading' lie felt It In his hones. songster. Anyone who could carry off a frock like that could do any stage justice, and he knew as well that Chloe possessed a voice. The next evening In the boarding house there was a big party to celebrate Chloe's engagement. She had insisted on Mrs. Everiy producing the cousin who had made the frock to which she attributed her success. Tom Danvers, now that the moment of revelation drew near, became as shy as a great school boy. Mrs. Everiy dragged him forward. "My dear," she said softly into Chloe's ear, "do please be nhw to him he Is the designer of that gown and he's suffering now from stage fright." Chloe blushed, bur her heart gave a thump. Could Anything so Joyful truly wonderful really have happened to hr? Day by day she had thought of the big man who occupied the corner table In the dining room and each day Uad hoped, when her success came, to well to be able to Join in with the others Just to get acquainted with him. "Oh, you have all been so very good to me I hardly know what to say. but I do thank foil, and I want you. Mr. Danvers, to design all my for the play If you will':" "If I will?" laughed Tom, throwing olT bis nervousness and looking Into Chloe's eyes. "I doubt If you could stop me ri"'." anything." smiled "And if Mrs. Everiy. "I don't think she'll want to" And Tom "d Chloe Just stood gaz iiig at each other happily. e Ask for POST TOASTIES com fakes that stay crisp in milk or cream va-rio- best-hearte- npip Lif m .V: 1, CHE Taking It Over Felix Head FEATHERHEADS W 7W tY-- iiTl 1 foo - iv5 :r SMV V '!
