That's because Durable Durham socks are made from the strongest, stretchiest cotton and knit to with stand a man's hardest tugging.

Pollyanna herself came out of it with radiant smiles and a heart content ; for, as she ex pressed it to one of the clerks : "When you haven't had anybody but missionary barrels and Ladies Aid ers to dress you, it is perfectly lovely to just walk right in. and buy clothes that are brand-new, and that . don't have to be tucked up or let down be cause they' don't fit." The shopping expedition consumed the entire afternoon ; then came sup per and' delightful talk with Old Tom in the garden, and another with Nancy on the back porch, after the dishes were done, and while Aunt, Polly paid a visit to a neighbor. . Old Tom told Pollyanna wonderful things of her mother, that made her very happy indeed ; and Nancy told her all about the little farm six miles away at "The Corners," where lived her own dear mother, and her equally dear brother and sisters. She prom ised, too, that sometime, if Miss Polly were willing, Pollyanna should be taken to see them. And they've got lovely names, too. You'll like their names; sighed Nan cy. They're 'Algernon; and 'Flora- belIe and Estelle.' I I just hate Nancy' r "Oh, Nancy, what a dreadful thing to say! Why?" "Because it isn't pretty like the others. You see, I was the first baby, begun ter read so pretty names in Tt Jst because it's you, declared Pollyanna. "Humph 1 Well, I guess you could love 'Clarissa Mabelle' just as well," retorted Nancy, "and it would be a heap happier for me. I think that name's just grand!" Pollyanna laughed. "Well, anyhow" she chuckled, "you can be glad it isn't ,Hephzibah." "Hephzibahl" "Yes. Mrs. White's name is that. Her husband calls her 'Hep,' and she doesn't like it. She says when he calls out 'HepHep T she feels just as if the next minute he was going to yell 'Hurrah 1' And she doesn't like to be hurrahed at." Nancy's gloomy face relaxed into a broad smile. "Well, if you don't beat the Dutch! Say do '.you know? I sha'n't never hear 'Nanc now that I don't think o' that 'HeI-Hep, and giggle. My.
