THE GRATEFUL ANTS.

THE GRATEFUL ANTS.
A great many years ago there
lived in Wales crusty old chief
called Thorn Thistle, who had a
beautiful daughter, Olwen. Fair
as lily was she, with cheeks
like pink roses and hair of spun
| gold.
She was dearly beloved by Kill
witch, one of the knights of King
Arthur. But her father named sew
eral tasks that Kilwich must per-
form before he could marry Olwen.
One task was that the knight must
! gather the IL bushels of flaxseed
which had been sown in a field
years before and had never come
| up.
Kilwich set out to do this task,
but it was impossible for him to
find all the seeds, and feeling much
discouraged he sat down by the
roadside. He heard peculiar
wailing sound. Looking about he
saw no one, but again he heard
the weeping, and looking down be-
, held near him large anthill, whose
inhabitants were weeping because
, a fire was burning up the grass
and would soon destroy their home.
Feeling sorry for them, Kilwich
dug out the anthill with his sword
and put 1t safely on the other side

Dear Miss Grey: My naturally

CORRECT:

To be well dressed a woman must
be appropriately dressed. Not only
must her gown be appropriate to
the occasion, but the other articles
of her attire must be appropriate to
the gown. How often do we see a
woman wearing a tailor gown and
a dress hat. Her attire is in dis
pute with itself. The gown says:
1--WE are going shopping; the hat
says: 1--WE are out calling" and
the onlooker is at a loss to know
which to believe.
Good dressing requires harmony,
and discord like the above makes
