crept tiny flame and a curl of smoke
and the sticks began to burn brightly
The wood nymph had taught him how

copied one of the best French models
and turned out lot of little American
lied Gaby Desys hats that look as
though they were light enough to fly
away on their outstretched maline
wings. These little bonnets come in
white maline that is so fashionable just
now, or in brown, navy blue and all
black. The price tomorrow, when there
is to be a special sale of these hats, will
be SIPS.
In the same shop, there are some
square-toed pumps, which are quite the
latest thing for spring wear. They have
q good stout sole, and little corduroy
bows, though some of them show in
stead, a fiat leather buckle. The price
of these pumps is 81. 1t would hardly
be fair to the dainty evening slippers
not to mention them as they are distinc-
tive in their satiny softness. The only
trimming they boast is daintily en-
broidered spray of gold that starts at
the toe, and trails backward. They
come in colors to match any gown, and
are suitable for all dress occasions. The
price is 81.

IL time ago before any white people
had ever seen the country. The
green snd sloping down to the sea was
full of wild fruits and the surf bathing
was great sport. In that warm climate
the boys wore so few clothes that there
was no trouble about sewing buttons OF
darDing spx. So Hama rode the surf on
big shingle and climbed tall trees for
bread-fruit, and never once bothered
about school or torn trousers when he
went fishing.
One day he took his little stone
hatchet and vert into the forest to cut
tree out of which TO hollow a nice
canoe. He found a pretty one with
smooth bark and began to cut. But
hardly had he struck a blow when he
heard faint cry and beautiful wool
