That night when all of Miss Furmosa S

their snug little home. Miss Furmosa crept
softly out of the front door. Her heart was

Miss Wild Rabbit made no answer to any
of the questions, but she grew more and
more frightened at every step. She was just

walked on. Then all of sudden her fear
turned to shyness. She wished she had not
come. Her cousin Brownie, if-it should be
he. would surely think it very strange for
her to be walking all alone at night so far
from home. And if it were not Brownie it
might be her cross-patch uncle, Mr.. Spot

THE WHIRLING DERVISH

Every circus or wild west show that
comes to town has 'whirling dervish''
for one Of the attractions. and they are
certainly wonderful creatures. 1 wonder If
all Of you know where they come from?.
They are Mohammedans from Persia, a
set of men who devote. or are supposed to
devote. their entire time to religion and
are perhaps as nearly like monks as any
thing else. Fasting for days at a time,
with continuaf prayer. at last affects their
minds, and they see wonderful visions
which they disclose to their superstitious
brothers, over whom they have great in
fuence. They are always miserably poor.

have by being hired to mourn at funerals
or to conduct religious ceremonies.
Some of these men perform most wonder
full tricks. such as fire-eating. juggling and
walking on broken glass. How they do
them will never be known. but they are
supposed to be invested with supernatural
power. which is. of course. untrue. We
are all familiar with the 'whirling dervish.
This takes years of practice. but finally
they become SO expert and are so used to
it that they can 'whirl' for hours without
becoming dizzy.

Miss Witd-Rabbit's Halloween
BY HUGH SPRAGUE.

Miss Furmosa Wild-Rabbit had always
been a great trial to her parents.
They said she was so Eighty.
She was always frisking and skipping
into forbidden places. She was always
needlessly leaving bits of her fur on briar
bushes She said she was leaving them for
mementoes but her mother said she was
betraying the whole family.
'How am l betraying the family" she
inquired one day, she sat saurily on a
small hillock with her forepaws hanging
meekly In front of her. Her eyes were
bright. and she looked like a little queen
on n throne. but her mother was too angry
to be proud of her daughters looks
Wherever men find bits of your fur they
will set snare, and some day you or
your dear brothers or cousins Will leap
through and be caught
Miss Furmosa laughted funny little
squealing laugh and running down patted
her old mother on the cheek.
II said i left the fur for me-mentoes,
she laughed. Don't men have toes? If
they put snares only where my fur is then
we can all avoid the furry briar bushes.
But any way | am not afraid of men. I've
often heard them talking. the little men.
Boys" corrected her mother
We'll boys. then. Their voices are 50
nice and funny. like birds and brooks and
bears all mixed together. l wouldn't mind

description. 1t was a dreadful state of af-
fairs.
Miss Furmosa walked very slowly with
see her fate until she looked straight into
the face of-old Grandfather Owl!
She was disappointed she almost
tainted
Grandfather Owl looked very grand in a
silk hat and a neat speckled suit, but for all
that he was far from being Miss Furmosa' S
hero. 'Hoot! Hoot! said Grandfather
Owl, and what is this 1 see? A young
Wlld-Rabbit walking alone at night
"l-l-1-" began Miss Furmosa.

late, and why are you out, my dear?"
Il came out to see
Who? Who? Who?"
You, Grandfather OWL in your silk hat
and lovely swallow-tail coat"
Swallow-tail! Swallow-tal" hooted
Grandfather Owl angrily. I'D have you
know that this is no swallow-tail! 1 have
no dealing with swallows. This Is a genu-
inc owl coat As for you Miss Pert, shall
walk you home to your mother"
Grandfather Owl took sharp hold of
Miss F'urmosa's ear with his sharp beak
| and dragged her home at a rapid pace.
AS they went they heard a mocking voice
singing above their heads:
Its very hard remembering what you
| are told. and yet It's easy to remember the
things you should forget"

DOLLS FASHION NOTES
Dear Marco.

Fashions In dolls clothing and accessories
are as necessary to a sty.ishly dressed and
well-groomed toy as they are to smartly
gowned women who observe the newest GUS
toms and follow all the Partisan fads 1t
is possible now to order costumes for any
occasion for a doll Just now wardrobes
are being replenished with smart tailored
frocks, new walking hats of the most mod
ish fe.t turban mushroom shapes. trim
med with velvet. ribbon and feathers, as
we'll as with large picture varieties for af-
ternoon or evening wear. These latter
are of beaver. like the ones grown-ups will
affect, and are decorated with handsome
feathers or resettes with buckles.
Real furs too, will be worn by dolls
whose owners can afford such luxuries.
Ermine boas and muffs will be most popu-
lar this winter and during the late fall, for
this skin is more striking than the darker
mink, seal or caracul. Persian lamb In
white will also be much used. Pony and
calfskin trimmings will be used on some
of the long cloth coats for wear during the
excessive cold. These wraps for midwinter
use have the large rolling shawl-like collar
and are made full. both back and front
patterned exactly like the ones that will be
worn by women this season
Evening or opera coats for dolls are as
stunn:ngly made as the ones shown in shops
for their owners mammas. Most of these
dainty outergarments are decidedly smart
being either of white silk with applique
or Irish crochet embroidery, or of light
colored broadcloth with hand-embroidered
designs as ornaments. They are to be had
in both full length or seven eighths. which
ever is more becoming to the little wearer.
Liberty Scarfs for Evening Wear.
For use with these dress coats there are
delicate silk and wool shawls and scarfs
to be thrown over the head, twisted round
the necks and tied in a pretty. careless
fashion. either in back or beneath the chin.
Gowns worn under these elaborate wraps
are either simple, light dimfties. prettily
made with lace trimmed yokes. and ruf1ed
skirt, with ribbon girdles, for fitting
finish, or they are of princess models
low neck and elbow sleeves-that show
the alabaster whiteness Of the dolls neck
and arms and incidentally give them
chance to display the turquoise or coral
chains Of four strands that are so popular

And the white where twas peeling away.
Gray Peel-a-way folk used to quietly live
in the village of Ceilingtonville,
And nobody noticed thing that they did,
They were always proper and still.
But one day the little white Peea-way folk,
Who had always lived under the gray,
Ard counted their slaves, arose In their might

And cauld get up and be dressed.
