brother had been swinging on the
grass blade. OF course she knew
they didn't mean to break it, but
it displeased her very much that
Katy should tell an untruth and
her brother put all of the blame
upon her.
The queen interrupted the
quarrel by saying, You know
you both broke the grass blade.
You should have been good
fairies, ami told the grasshopper
you were sorry and that you
hadn't really meant to break 1t.
For being so wicked you shall
take the shape of grass-hoppers
for a thousand years. Your bod
les will take the shape of grass
hoppers and be the same light
green as your fairy dresses. You
may keep your fairy wings.
Elm daylight you will hide in
the grass, and at night you may
fly as high as the treetops. but
never again can you fly to fairy
land"
Katy was so ashamed of her
self that she is always silent. but
often on a warm night you can
hear her brother screaming.
"Katydid, Katydid."

Elaborate Evening Couture

In the evening couture the real
popularity of the bangs is seen.
Until recently bangs did not play
any part in hair dressing for
evening affairs, but so many fash
ionable women have fringed their
hair that the girl who wants to be
stylish must fringe hers.
Here are two views of the
very latest method of dressing the
hair for full-dress occasions, and
1t defies description. 1t is just an
elaborate mass of waves and puffs
and curls, and the more you can
pin on the better, and the more
fashionable you are.
