There was once wild boar who was
dissatisfied with himself because the
people so often mistook him for pig.

like one little bit" he said to him
self, land l do not want people to
think that l am a pig. But what am
I to do? / can't run around all the

"I'll dress myself up and be a gentle
man, and then people will not only not
call me pig, but they will see that
am fine fellow"
So away he went to hat store and
bought himself a black hat and at the
tobacco shop he bought pipe and
bag of tobacco. He put on his hat,
and he stuck the pipe in his mouth,
and, just as proud as peacock, he
sat down on corner and waited for
people to come along and admire him.
But they came without admiring him.
"What on earth is that thing?" they
asked as they passed. And, strange to

Among other things, he was very

So John started for his home feeling
rather bad that his sport had been in

he came to little clump of bushes,
and, peering down behind it, he saw a

''Isn't that a pretty egg?' John asked
himself. "Why should that not make

Of heavy linen, or mohair Sicllian, OF
cravenette serge, Of crash and of taffeta
silk. They are trimmed with pearl
buttons and pipings, and many of them
show the wearer's yachting emblem en-
broidered on the sleeve.
For general every day wear aboard "a

which has any pretentions toward style,
than mohair Sicilian. The girl who can
