The Left Behind Lady.
BY Ruth Cameron.

One beautiful holiday morning early III
the fall-the wonderful kind of day that
sounds the call of the road to the dullest
ears and sets the want-togo- sOmeWh
fever burning in the most sluggish veins
| happened to drop in on one of my
neishbors at about - O'Clock in the morn
ing to ask for the loan of some small
article.
Nv neighbor said she would be more
than pleased to lend me the article if l
would just make myself at home ana
wait few minutes until she got the chill
dren off for the day and then she Would
hunt up what | wanted.
My neighbor has in her household five
sons and daughters and one daughter-in-
Jaw. Their ages range from sixteen to
thirty. They We're ali going off on some
pleasure excursion for the day, so per-
haps YOU can imagine the excitement
that reiSned there for the next half hour.
David. the youngest, was off 10 Il neigh
boring town to play in "a ball game and
had 10 have his mothers assistance in
finding his mask at the last moment.
The eiShteen-year-Old daughter was
bound on an all-day canoe trip and her
mother had to help her with the lunch.
The twins had been invited on an auto
ride. and We're asking frantically where
their automobile veils We're.
The Oldest son and the new daughter
had hired a carriage for a drive into the
country and mother must come to the
front door and see what fine rig they
had.
The excitement finally subsided when
the twins, who We're the last to go,
whirled away in a big touring car and
after waving them off their mother
came back from the front door and
sank rather wearily into the easy chair.
Now. what are you going TO do this
lovely day." 1 asked.
/ think the whirl must have tired my
ways very cheerful person. but this
time her optimism seemed to have
failed her. Me-" she said very visit
fully. and just little bitterly. Oh
I'm not going to do anything. | just
see folks off. I'm the left-behind lady"
Now, those five sons and daughters
are not unusually selfish children. They
are just thoughtleSS. 1t has probably
never occurred to them that mothers
like To go to places on holidays just as
of other sons and daughters. they
probably think the older generation
stays at home SO much because it pre-
fers peace and quiet. They are always
on the go themselves, SO they have
never experienced that let-dOwn, empty,
desolate feeling that comes when. after
seeing other folks off, you go back into
quiet house.
If young folks would only cease to
look at the older people as a separate
species. and would only come to realize
that after all they have much the same
longings for fun and happiness and at
tentiOu as themselves and that some
times they like to he seen off instead
OF always doing the seeing Off ] am
sure the sons and daughters would make
a greater effort To include the older
people in their good times.

ChinchiIIa Squirrel.

The definite feature of fur this year is
the trimming of one kind of peltry with
another. Some furs, such as chinchilla
squirrel. caracul and leopard, are some
times ingeniously trimmed by cross
arrangement of the fur. but more often
lynx. skunk or fOX-with sable for very
expensive wraps-is chosen and no fur
coat of the season is truly up-to-date te
without it's bordering of fur.
For the woman of moderate means the
coney or squirrel coat is a very real lux
ury in which she may feel as COM
Portable and look as smart as the woman
Of wealth in her extravagant garments
OF fur. and really the vogue of such
coats, especially in squirrel, is becom-
ing a veritable craze. Chinchilla has
practically disappeared. but one only
notes this in passing. in order to add
how much gray furs are liked and to
add that one of the popular favorites
of this year is chinchiiia squirrel the
skins being cleverly dyed so that they
really do resemble chinchilla though
they can never have the true silyery
softness of the real fur.

Little Stories for Bedtime.
WHAT HAPPENED TO. BOBBY COON.
By Thornton w. Burgess.

Bobby Coon sat just inside one of the
brown tents Of cornstalks in the mid
die OF Farmer Browns cornfield. He
had torn a place to crawl in where the
biggest and best ears were hidden, and
now he was enjoying himself to his
hearts content. 1t isn't often that
Bobby Coon is so unwise as to visit
a cornfield in broad daylight and he
ought to have been on the watch every
minute this time But he wasn't. No,
sir Bobby Coon wasn't on the watch
at all That was why he didn't see
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
boy come down the lane and into the
cornfeld. He just forgot everything
but the good time he was having.
Happy Jack Squirrel sat on a fence
post, his heart going pit-a-pat with
fright as he thought of what might
happen to Bobby Coon. The Merry
Little Breezes grew more and more
excited as they race back and forth
across the field trying TO find Bobby
Coon and warn him of his danger. And
the more excited they grew the less
grew their chance of finding Bobby
Coon for you know that excited folks
seldom do things at all we'll.
All this time Farmer Brown and
Farmer Browns boy were following
the tracks of Bobby Coon. and walking
as softly as they knew how so that
Bobby Coon should not hear them com
ing. Right in the middle of the field
the tracks led around one of the brown
corn tents Farmer Brown peeped
around il very, very carefully and then
he beckoned to his boy TO do the same
thing. What do you think they saw? =?
Why right in the mladie Oh 'he very
next corn tent sat Bobby Coon just
as if he owned the whole field of
corn.
Farmer Browns boys eyes shone.

dinner. and his beautiful gray and

Farmer Brown. For a second Bobby
was SO surprised and frightened that
he didn't move, and then he started
down the rows OF brown corn tents
straight for the Green Forest at a rate
that made the sand fly.
few minutes later back came
Farmer Browns boy creeping softly
as before. and he had two big clubs.
Farmer Brown took one and, pretend
ing that he didn't know that Bobby
Coon had gone, he rushed around one
side of the brown corn tent while
Farmer Browns boy rushed around the

membered that he had left his terrible
gun at home, and that they had moth

to get Bobby Coon. These would never
do. for you know Bobby Coon has
sharp teeth and he is very strong.
Farmer Browns boy leaned over to
whisper in the ear of Farmer Brown.

and Wen soon settle Mr.. Coon" said
he.
Farmer Brown nodded, and just as
softly as he had come Farmer Browns
boy stole back To get a club. AS soon
as he was out of sight behind the
brown corn tents something happened
something that frightened Bobby Coon
SO that he jumped almost out of his
skin, and that tickled Farmer Brown so
that he laughed until he shook all over
