YOU WILL LIKE THIS SPLENDID SERIAL- | ( .i, i, THE CHARMINGWHO LONGED ST0RY IgSP TO BE OF A QiRL A BOY. SUE PREPARES FOR BLACKPOOL." Cash correct, thank gcodneas J sighed t Sue, straightening her baok. The last t customer was just being shown out of F Samp-son's big stores, and the hustling Manchester shop assistants already had i the shutters up and everything ready for a. prompt departure. i H One more day here." said Sue, glane- t ing at the clock, and then—Blackpool." She made a face at the store and all it contained; then struggled out of the cash desk. with her cash in one ha.nd and her file of voucher* in the other. She carried her burden to the oaahier, humming blithely as she went: We can do withaut the sands, | [: We oan do without the bands, But we must have the girls down there." You seem merry, Miss Benton," said the elderly cashier. Cash come right first pop?" Pop is right, Pop/4 said sauey Stie. Ah!" said the old gentleman, y-on ptart. your holidays fco-nwrrow, don't you? Wait a fortnight, and you will not feel like calling me Pop. It'll be Mr. Lazenbv then. Not so sure :rou'll ever see me again," said Sue airily. I might get married, or ilmight gelt drowned.' I might go on the films, and I might only go on the pier. There's no telling, Mr. Lazenby, kind sir. U Well, there's many I'd never miss, but you're not one of them," said the oashier, with a generous smile. "Where are you going? To the Isle of Women, all dressed in hO:'8 rlothes," said Sue. "Taking the stage name of Kelly, Mr. Lazenbv. sir." Well, good wishes for a nice holiday," he said. Take care of yourself, my dear; I've daughters of my own, you know." Nice old thing." anid Sue to herself, as she bounded upstairs to put on her hat. Pity he grows whiskers; matter of taste, I suppose." She paused before the glass, hat in hand and pin between her lips. The face she saw mirrored there demand s some descrip- tion, if only to account for the critical in- spection its owner devoted to it. Dark, merry eyes sparkled under strongly marked, arched eye»brows>. Her nose. which began very well and seemed to chape for a delicate Grecian, spoiled everything by a little tilt at the end.. which gave the face a saucy look, height- ened by the deep dimple set at each corner of the wide mouth. It waa an attractive kee, but saucy to the verge of recklessness. Among her old chums, the land girls, nhe had earned the name of Sunshine Sue, and she did not object to the title by any means. Decent boy gone wnong," she said to herself, sticking he-r felt hat on anyhow and jabbing the pin rouhly through it. ?,,hlv t-h roii?  ii it. r WeU, I was next thing to a boy once, and the day after to-morrow She nodded defiantly to her reflection, and skipped off to the staircase. At the outer door she encountered her companion, lEdna Thorne, a pretty, delicatc, fair girl, who prided herself on her correct manner of speech and her general air of refine- merit. c. Come along, Sue dear," said Edna. I ¡ Jiave been waiting for you. Listen, dear, I expect Reggie Clarke and that nice friend of his v." ill be on the look-out for 11. Do hurry." U Boil Reggie Clarke," said Sue ab- ruptly. He's a pure simp." Simp," repeated Edna, looking dis- tressed. Whatever do you mean?" "Word I pinched from the screen at the pictures," ,9a.id Sue. "It means boob; it means ohump; it means a pie-faced mutt." Edna, sighed. I wish you wouldn't talk like that. 11(>, she Fiaid oiiietly. <11m going on a fortnight's holiday," jpid Sue. You'd talk a lot of rot your- eelf if you were going for a holiday, wouldn't you ? Quite," said Edna politely. And I'm going to spend half the money at took me two years on the land to save," continued Sue. You must have plenty of money to enjoy a holiday, mustn't you? Quite," agreed Edna. What do you mean, quite? demanded Sue. Why. can't you say, Yes or No ? If you said, There's the, Oldham car,' and I said, Quite,' tou'd think I'd gone off my rocker, wouldn't you? Oh, please don't say Quite.' u Good-night," roid Edna stiffly, I hope you'll enjoy your holiday." Her lip was trembling as she walked away, and Sue looked after her looking: very pleased. I had to do it to get rid of her," she told herself. Some other nirrht, when I wanted her, she would be off like a shot. To-night, just because I must be alone, there she is waiting for me." The cloud passed from her radiant face at the thought of Blackpool, and she jumped on to a passing tramcar. She alighted a mile away, and entered the shop of a small tailor in a quiet street, mostly given up to private residences. "The stout man. who was pressing clothes behind the counter with a hot iron, looked up as ihe out-rred, and nodded pleasantly. My brother's clothes ready, Mr. Arbuckle ? asked Sue. a Arbuckle's not the name," said the stout tailor doggedly. Look over the door and you'll see the name of Sawkins. It's mine." No romance about you," commented Sue. I prefer Arbuckle to the other any day. But how about little brother's civvies? They're finished," said the perspiring tailor, though why he couldn't oome to try on beats me." He's not demobbed nntil to-morrow, said Sue. You're sure they're all right?" "What's your brother's name?" de- manded the puzzled bailor. Claude," answered Sue. K-L-O-R-D, the r' being pronounced silent, as in beef-steak." Well," if he doesn't like these," replied the man, just let him come and say so. Bond-street, Tondon. couldn't turn out better clothes. Here's the light suit, and cap to match. Now an we've got to do is to transfer the Bridbitrw, and wrap these up in a neat parcel. She produced her purse, and passed over a'little roll of notes. U And now, Miss," said the tailor, who was busy with the et.rin<?, Do you mind telling me one thing. Why the Arbuckle ? It's three timee-I've had the name this week. H Do you ever to the Pictures? asked Sue. No time," wc.s the reply. Go one nisrht," advijed Sv.p.. "You'll enjoy it, bec-ides seeing your double. Good night." Her face wiq one broad grin tte she piaAs^ed into the street. She had begun to enjoy hrr holiday in anticipation. Again she took the tramcar. illigging her parrel of cloth tightly under her arm. She turned down a narrow street, and knivk£d at t9M door of a littip h()1 ex- actly like a score o-f itw neighbours. |The lil,.e a by a r?-Mi?d prl. rip black F.,Yts. which grew very vide ?nd round when looked cm the parcel under Sue's arm. "Oh, Sue. have you got 'em?" &he 3f>kN1 fxcit^dlv. "Come in." Yes, Kate." su'd Sue. And the next thing is to get 'em on. Lead the way, child." Katie, her eyes danci.ng wi.t.h exci.t. ementi, led Sue to her own room upstairs; and danced about like a sprite as Sue cut the strinsr and displayed her purchases. It's lovely." said Katie, clapping her hands. "Oh. Sue, do hurry up and Pili fchem on." She donned the light suit, and pulled the cap to match well over her forehead after the fashion of the boys sihe knew. Her shirt collar and tie were juM" those ehe w on a hundred young fellows in the course of an afternoon's walk; her feet were cased in sensible boots, neat but in no way dainty. The only feminine .touch in her get-up was the long curly hair, at which Rbe grimnced seomlully." H Oh, Sue," cried Katie, H J. wish had a boy just like you. Why, nobody would know you for a girl at all, if it were not for your hair." Off it coanes at one o'clock to-morrow,ff said Sue. "You shall cut most of it with the scissors, Katie, and then I'll gú to old Twilight's in Deansgrate and get a regular boy"'s cut. A bottle of that sticky stuff they hold their locks back with will do the rest. And you'r really going to Blackpool like tlult,? said Katie, with a scared air. "Going by yourself-to stay at a big board- ing-houte among strangers ? Sue, euppoae you are found out? u 1 don't intend to be found out," answered Sue. SUE SETS OUT. The next; day came at last, and at one o'clock Sue, who had made friends with Edna Theme in precisely the fashion she had planned, kissed that damsel fare- well, and went off to Katie's house. Cut my hair," she ordered. Not too close: leove something for Twilight to work on." Snip went the scissors, the pretty curls flalling on the floor one by one. For twenty minutes Sue rehearsed her new role before Katie's observant wes. Katie knew all about boys, and when she admitted that Sue had most of their man- ners Sue was satisfied. Her big land girl's bag was packed full of manly attire, and she crammed the girl's clothes she had been wearing into the leather bag she had brought from her home, on top of the Other clothing it con- tained. t That's got to po with me to Black- pool." she said. "When I get there 1 shall leave it at the railway cloak-room. I don't think I shall want it." Ka tie rubbed her eyes. "Nobody could tell her from a boy." she said. I wonder what will happen."

I For the Ladies. I Dressmaking at Home. Many of my readers will be delighted to soo this sketch, and it is a model which is finding favour with a great many wearers of the younger generation. 1, It is made with a straight yoka and a turn-down collar, which can be worn with a tie of masculine type, as shown in the sketch, or one of the stock order, and which is, somewhat smarter than that depicted, but th'5. of course, is a matter of taeo, As to material, the model lends itself well to realisation in washing silk of the British mak", which is particularly suit- able to a shirt ef this useful type, whilst Schappe crepe or silk longcloth are very smart, workable, and durable. A LITTLE BOY'S TUNIC SUIT, This little suit is particularly nice for washing purposes, for nursery or seaside war, and if equally suitable for a small girl, including also ti- knieks, which will s4re a good deal of laundering of petti- coats, and add immensely to 'her ease and freedom when romping about, very pro- bably, with small brothers. The tunic is a. very easy one to make, as it is cut on kimono lines, and is provided with a couple of tucks on each shoulder, which can be easily let out I when necessary, and as the small wearer expands in width a good deep hem allow., ing for the corresponding increase in length, ± — i

PROCESSION STOPPED. -————— ————— Neath Demobbed Mea and Tom Mann. 1 i The. town of Neafti was teem ing with excitement on Saturday nftmoon. Sa^d to be under the auspices of the Neath and District Trade-s and Labour Council, a labour demonstration was or- ganised. and th« processiopists were sap- P08ed to assemble in Melyn Square at [2.45. It was their intention to march; in procession, headed by a band, and pro- ceed to the Bird-in-hand field, whiere Tom Mann was billed to speak on Russia and conscription. Just about this time there was a large body of discharged sol- diers and sailors mingling with ithe l'owd, and several minor deputes fbok place between them, and the police were called upon to keep order. THE RED FLAG. I When a young lad was observed cairry. ;nlf a red flag, which was intended to be carried in front of the procession, the crowd got out of order and demanded its immediate withdrawal, as the only ,f;afe way of preventing a disturbance. One man made a rush, hut was held bacjc by some of his friends, and the crowd stated very warmly that if the flag was nnfnrled they would toar it to pieces. The police advised that it should bo taken away, After waiting for nearly an liour, during which time the monotony of wait- ing was broken by several disputes, it was stated that the delay wae catisfjd by the non arrival of the band. j t THE BAND RUSHED. f At 3.30, however, the strains of music w-cre heard, and the band was observed marching down Windsor-road, one of the principal thoroughfares of Neutli., Im- mediately a crowd of about MO dis- charged soldiers formed themselves, into a procession and marched towards the band. The leaders flourished sticks in I the air, and demanded the band to stop. They impeded progress by extending themselves across the street, and'Tpf us- ing to allow tbi band to pass. I The soldiers "assumed a threatening attitude, and the bandsmen took I the wiser course of turning round, where- upon they were literally swept through the streets Muid tremendous cheers The band were then called upon to play I Rule Brittania," but they struck up a J march, and the soldiers sang ftind  words will never die," and "My father } hqd & barrel." Afterwards the soldiers proceeded to the Bird-in-Hand Field, and at the time of telephoning it seemed as though, their intention was to put a stop to any meet- ing held there.
