Will anybody in America ever
wear hat like this? Let us hope
not, for while 1t is the remarkable
creation that won the first prize
of $1,000 at the imperial exhibit
ton in Berlin, it is not half pretty
enough for our charming Ameri-
can girls.
I really don't see much grace in
the hat, do you? To my mind the
sweet, demure face of the wearer
must have contributed largely to
its triumph.
If this hat is made, as of course
it is, of velvet or felt or any other
fabric of which winter hats are
CONSTRUCTED, such dimensions
would be SO weighty as to be al
most neck-breaking. Even the
flowers and velvet with which
this hat is trimmed are heavy.
But the hat looks we'll on the
head of this German girl, because
she is so charming, and we'll let il
go at that. It's in far-away Ger.
many anyway, and the size of the
hat needn't worry us.

GREEDY TOM

Did you ever wonder where
the catfish got his name? Well,
LII there hadn't been a greedy old
cat years and years ago there
probably would never have been
|any catfish.
An old fisherman lived in a
log hut in the woods all alone,
Except for the company of his cat.
Every day when he came home
with the fish he had caught in
the river during the day he would
cut off their heads and feed them
to old Tom.
For a long time Tom was sat
isfied, but after a while he got
to wondering how the rest of the
fish would taste, so one night
after the old fisherman had gone
to sleep he crawled up on the
shelf and ate one of the fish his
master had hidden up there. 1t
was so good he ate another, and
then another, and then several
more, but after a while his
throat began to smart and burn,
for they were salt fish, and made
him very thirsty.
He jumped down from the
shelf, ran outside and down toi
the river to quench his thirst. AS
he ran along looking for a shall
low pace he began to feel queer.
His legs seemed to get shorter
and shorter, and he could scarcely
breathe. At last he came to a

leaned over to drink he saw his
reflection in the water. What do
you think? He had begun to
turn into a fish. He was so fright
ened he fell splash into the riv-

How poor Tom shivered in the
cold water at first! He wished
he were back in his warm corner
by the stove. But that was what
he got for being SO greedy, you
see.
Ever since then boys have been
catching queer-looking fish they
call "catfish."

The next day he determined to
TRY it out again. He started with
the dog as usual, but after enter
ing the underbrush the hound
gave one short bark, and that
was the last he heard of it until
dusk, when he found 1t asleep in
its kennel. That day the traits of
the worthless parent had FREEDOM

answer, as she smiled at the dis
couraged hunter, "and what's

Harry noticed that the mother
was splitting tamarack while the
old man slept in hammock in
the front yard. Again he return

frame of mind.
Perhaps it was all true. He re-

One day he was all nerve. That
was his mother. The next day he
was lazy. That was dad. He re-

him that her nervy days came on
his weak days. So matters went
on until he had driven off all the
other suitors for miles around.
Then he made a mistake. He
called on a nerveles night. He
got as far as the gate, and was on
the point of turning back, when
Flossie, who had seen him coming
up the road. sent the hound after
him. Then she came to the gate
and escorted him to the front
porch. AS the moon shone
through the lilac bushes she said !:
Harry, / know this is your off
day. You are without nerve,

and looked into his limpid eyes.
Continuing, she said: Harry, ]

Harry did as requested.

slipped her beautifully nodded

and add salt and paprika. If mus
