Then Mr.. and Mrs. Jackrabbit lifted
each one of them into a high chair
and tied a big bib around his or her
neck, so that the children would not
spill anything on their clothes. And
what feast they had! There were
baked apples, ginger bread, doughnuts,
cookies, and JAM and afterwards they
had nuts. raisins. tar and popcorn.
Now Grandpa" said one of the
children. with big piece of taffy In
his mouth. please tell us where you
got this new baby tonight"
We'll" said Grandpa, last week
was passing Mr.. Blains' house and the
baby was out playing in the garden.
I hid behind the snow man she was
building, so that nobody but she could
see me, while | told her about the
party which we have here every New
Years Eve, and | asked her II she
would like to come. When she said
she would, told her not to tell any
one. but to be awake at midnight on
New Years night and would come
for her then"
"Es." said Baby Blain, lit was a
drefful long time till New Years too.

and I'm having gate time. Tan

20 yes!" said Grandma. I'VE will
have another party next year and
hope you will all be here"
"Yes!" cried all the children at
once, well all come II we can"
well now" said Mrs. Jackrabbit,
come and have a game with Grand
ma, and then 1t will be time to go
home"
Lets play tag and well all try to
catch Grandma" said one Of the chill
dren. and they all rushed toward her,
but Grandma was too quick for them
and had darted across the room be-
fore any one could catch her. on they
ran after her, Grandpa and all, but
Grandma bobbed around like a cork in
pail of water, till she was all out of
breath, and then Baby Blain the lit
tlest one Of all, was able to catch
her.
"Ho! Ho. Ho! You're caught at
last" laughed Mr.. Jackrabbit. We'll

The children were all sorry that the
party was over, but Grandma and
Grandpa put on their coats and hoods

and muiled them up warm. Then Mrs.
Jackrabbit kissed them and wished
them all happy New Year, and told
them to be sure to come again the
next New Years Eve, when Grandpa
Jackrabbit called for them.
But where was Grandpa? He had
disappeared while his wife was kiss
ing the children, and in his place stood
the funny little animal with the long
ears, which had brought the children
there. and which Is called a jackrab.
bit. Grandma lifted the children on
his back. all together, and opened the
door, and away the rabbit scampered,
up the hole and over the snow When
he came to the nearest house, he let
one of the children off and then turned
down the road, letting child off at
nearly every house he came to. Baby
Blain's house was the farthest of of
all, and before they reached 1t, Baby
could see that II was beginning to get
light away in the East, where the sun
rises. The JaCkrabbit saw the light
too, and flew along, faster than ever,
till the wind whistled past Baby's
ears, for If he did not get home be-
fore daylight, some one might see
Jackrabhit and shoot him for their
dinner. But II was not long before
they came to the Blain house.
"Dood-by, Grandpa" said Baby, as
she slid down OF the rabbits back,
and sank 90 vezy much" and the rab.
bit was of like shot
Baby opened the door and then shut
and locked 1t after her, and she was
soon all undressed and in her little
bed. When father and mother got up,
there was the baby, fast asleep, just
as she was when they went to bed the
night before, and they wondered what
made her sleep so late for she was al.
ways first awake in the morning. They
never found out, however about the
Jackrabbits party for Baby had prom

1t was the night before New Years.
The air was clear and frosty, and the
moon and stars were shining down on
the sparkling snow that covered the
prairie, like the cloth on a round din
ing table. Toward midnight, If you
had peeped from one of the windows
oil Mr.. Blain's farm house, you would
have seen what would have appeared
to have been shadow, coming up the
road toward the house. AS 1t came
nearer you would have seen that 1t
was little animal about the size of
lamb, with great long ears and bob
tail, and so white that at little dis
lance you could not tell 1t from the
snow.
But nobody saw the shadow. for
everyone in the house was asleep. eX-

cept the baby, who was lying wide
mothers bed. Just as the clock was
striking midnight, there came gen.
tie tap at the door Baby heard 1t,
but no one else did, and she climbed
out of her cot and ran to the door.
II commin Bunnie." she called out
as she reached up to the handle and
let the little animal In. Now 90 wait
Jack Rabbit"
Then she ran to the drawer and
pulled out her little coat and bon
net and mitts and her little foot muffs.
Baby had never dressed herself before
but at midnight between the old and
the new year, babies can do many
wonderful things which they cannot
do at any other time. but you never
see them doing these things, as they
will not do them while anybody in the
house is awake.
1t only took baby few minutes to
get on all her clothes. Then she open
ed the door and she and the iackrabbit
went out into the moonlight night.
As soon as they were outside the rab
bit got down on his knees, and baby
climbed on his back and away he
scampered down the road, with baby
holding on by his ears.
Soon they were far away from
baby's home. so far that they could
only see the chimney. At last they
came to a hole leading down under
the ground. Down this the jackrabbit
popped, and stopped up before a lit
tie round door. He tapped at the door
and waited until 1t was opened by a
fat little woman in big white apron
and white busting cap.
"Ha, hal" laughed the little woman
as she took the baby of the jacllrab
bits back. and nearly smothered her
with kisses. Here Is another little
guest at Grandma Jack Rabbits New
Years party. Now Jack, shut the door
or you will freeze the little dears. Now
baby let me take off your coat and
bonnet, so that you can play with the
other children"
Baby's eyes opened wide with won

great large one.

Grandpa scuttled of, as fast as he
could go on his hands and knees, to
the other end of the room. singing:

Then the children all scrambled off
Mr.. Jack Rabbits back and cried:

gets supper ready"
So Grandpa took the funniest look

"Whay is ne. jactrabbit dat bot me

had all been there the year before and
they knew these little people. while
this was the first time our little baby
had ever been to see the Jack Rabbits,
for she was only a tiny little infant
the year before
Grandma Jack Rabbit went over to
the stove at the other end of the
kitchen, where she had big pot of
taffy boiling, some corn popping, a

began to play with the children. Oh!
What fun they had! They played

and every game they knew. Then
Grandpa got down on his hands and
knees and took them for ride on
his back all around the room and over
to where Grandma was pulling the
golden taffy that had been boiling on
the stove.
Here's a piece of taffy for each one
of my babies" laughed Grandma.

the evidence that a dealer In musical
instruments was charged with cheat

violin which he offered for sale at
Sl.2j was an instrument that could be
played. The great professor was call

up the impugned instrument. he pro

DRESS FITNESS.
Potent Factor In Making the Wen
Gowned Woman.

Potent Factor In Making the Wen
Gowned Woman.
The definition of a uniformly well
gowned woman is she who dresses
with a strict regard to appropriateness
lin other words. one who adapts her
mode Of attire 70 the character and
form of each and every occasion. In
this simple conformity the keynote and
secret Of the art Of dressing is sounded
and revealed. Appropriateness, with
q large, a very large. capital, should
be the guiding motto Of every womans
dress inclinations Along with the APP
titude for designing planning and even
creating there should be assiduously
cultivated by every woman taste for
the fitness Of attire. This with practice
may be acquired and viii serve as a
more valuable gift than all the other
lore relating to this dlstlnctively femi-
nine branch Of scief8e
The woman who Is fortunate in the
possession Of this valued trait and its
evincemcnt Is often credited with be-
Ing better attircd than she is i'm reality,
for her appearance at any time and
upon all occasions is characterized by
n distinctive and appropriate individ-
uality, which bears an impress Of re-
fined taste and singles her out OF
group Of gayly, i'll appropriately attired
women as the best gowned among
them. A simple though significant
rule, which, II regarded, would assist
IN accomplishing more than even rigid
observance TO the powerful factors Of
"style" ana detail" is to dress with
unfalterng regard TO the time, place
and character and form Of the oc-
casion. and never for an instant swerve
from this path Of dress fitness, for it
Is far more potent feature than Is
ever considered in the determining OF
well gowned woman.-New Orleans
Times Democrat.
