Of course, that was years ago. in early school days . . . but it was hopeless for Jim- my because he was just "that Rowan kid," desperately poor, while Rose's family was rich. While Jimmy was working his way through college, Rose Morris moved away and the home sold for barely enough to pay the mort- gage . . . Jimmy vowed to himself he'd get rich . . . and find Rose. Eas- ier vowed than done and years passed before Jim Rowan finally landed in the Klondike . . . there to gain wide reputation as a gambler, known as "The Michigan Kid." On his way out at Nome, Rowan came upon a meeting of Michigan folks scheduled so he attended. There he came upon Hiram Morris, old, worn and hungry. Morris, with his daugh- ter Rose, Is prospecting a claim. Row- an hires as helper and goes out to the claim, ordering supplies sent. From Rose he learns of the father's strug- gle. Now go on with the story. (•|1.\PTKR V Uowiiii DpciK-d liis lip« to speak, «h«n clo.setl tliuni. 'Tou »f(!?' The Kill liiiil her hand upon his arm.

There is dynamite in those little summarie.s variously entitled "Ten Years Ago," "Twenty-Five Years Ago," and "Fif- ty Years Ago," "Fifty Year* Ago" A most careful editor culled his items each week, omitting all that he felt might offend some subscriber. One bit in particular he studied for a long time. It was to run under the head of "Fifty Years Ago," and it told that on this day fifty years ago. Miss Irma Clemens bewail her stu- dies at the public school. The editor would, of course, not have dared to run such a dangerous piece, but he knew for a fact that Irma had been dead for many years. Further, he knew she had no close relatives still living. In his inno- cence, the man decided that here was one bit of news that could harm no one. So he ran the piece and it ap- peared in the paper the following- Thursday. ' Friday niorning he had a caller. She was while-faced with rage. "How do you do. Miss Crane," the editor said ingratiatingly, clearing seventeen changes and five mats fiom a chair. "Will you sit down?" Just Two Yeart Older "I will not sit down," .said Mi.-^s Matilda Crane. "And, what's more, 1 want to cancel my subscription. The gall of you! Printing that piece about Irma Clemens starting- public school fifty years ago! It's libel, sir." "But poor Miss Irma Clemens is dead and gone," returned the editor wringing- his hands. "It can't injure the deceased to give out that she was born more than fifty years ago." "Maybe it can't hurt Irma," said the steely-eyed Miss Crane, "but how about the fact that everybody in this town knows I was always just two years older than Irma'.'" Modern GirPs Feet Are Getting Bigger Have Increased a Size and a Half During Last Decade Milady might be offended if she were told her feet are getting larger.

Suntan Vogue Back Here arc some pre-Kasler feminine decorating tips given out by make-up stylists at the fifteenth annual L'nit- ed States Midwest Beauty Trade Show : 1. Use two shades of eye-shadow One, the "darkener," in grey, brown or neutral tones, shaded over the lid and up to the brow. The second in color â€" green, blue, purple â€" ap- plied in a line at the eyelashes. 2. In nail polishes it was suggested nails be tinted to match the evening shoes. For example, purple evening sandals with gold heels vs'ould call for purple nails tipped with gold polish. 3. A return to « decided sun-tan vogue was predicted, with tlie 1!I38 ver^sion including brown tones in lip- stiik, rouge and nail polish. •'Women's economic contribution to the family is no new thing," says Dr. Grace I^oucks Klltott, author and psy- chologist, in a pamphlet on "Five Vo- cational Issues," recently published by the National Federation of Busi- ness and VVomeo's Clubs. ''To carry over the ideal that 'woman's place is In the home,' when she cannot now function in the home as she once did may make tor her a parasitic, nonpro- ductive existence formerly open to a small privileged minority." adds Dr. Elliott. ''There is no reason to sup- pose that If woman's contribution to family support is now made under dif- ferent' conditions family life will thereby be Jeopardized. Family life has also been underging change as to the amount of time and for what pur- poses its members are In the home. It is quite conceivable that the family as a group of interesting individuals may be re(-onstriicted around central Inter- ests other Ihau productive activity in the home. "The idea that a man's ego cannot stand the efl'ect of his wife's -.vorking outside the home Is at once suspect. Has he never been aware of her work- ing in ibp home or is he imwilHiu; to have his control of her aclivily thus diminished? "Il is true thai if women work out- side Ihe home they cannot assume the whole of the work inside as well. A great many men are by native endow- ment belter suited lo be cooks than women and they might stay at home more willingly I* they nte their own. rather than Iheir wives' cooking. A great many homes would be more lastefuUy furnished and many child- ren would be more becomingly dres- .<ed if fathers instead ot mothers had made selecilmis of furniture and of (lolhes.
