Florence and Patty occupied them selves Indoors for half an hour; then event out Into the yard to study a anole's tnnnel that hnd Interested Flor- amce recently. They followed It across tike lawn at the south aide of the hoaa«<'. discussing the habits of moles and other matters of sootogy: «nd finally lost the track near the fence, which wna here the "hack fence," higher than their hends.

"Florence." ahe said.

"What I was going to aay, Florence: Don't you think your cousin Herbert and Henry Rooter have got the nicest eyea of any boy In town?” “Who?" Florence was staggered. "I do.' “ I’atty said In her charming voice. “ I think Herbert and llenry've got the nicest eyes of any boy tn towp." "Voo do?" Florence cried Incred- ulouely. "Yee, I really do. Florence.

"Com« over here, Florence," she said. “Let's go over to the other side of the yard and talk." And It waa time for her to take some such srtlon If she wished to show sny tact. Messrs. Atwater su<l Rooter, seated quietly together upon a box on the other able of the fence (though with their backs tn the knot bole) were lieglnnlng to show signs of inward disturbance. Already Hushed with unexpected lueffubllltlea, their complexions had growi, even pinker upon Florence's open-hearted expres sions ot opinion.

Unattractive illustrations and lllus- trillions having no connection wlth the subject advertised oftentimes do more harm than good. For Instance, the picture of a per spiring Iceman carrying a cake of Ice In an advertisement announcing "Hot Went her Millinery” might suggest hot weather, but not In the attractive manner necessary to Interest you In the line of hats advertised. The first impression you might gain from such an illustration Is that Ice Is being advertised.
