YOUNG Beavers DAYS WORK
industrious Little Animal In Regents
Park Gardens, London, FeIls
Tree Two Feet Thick.

A young beaver in Regents Park
Gardens, London, was once placed at
work upon a tree twelve feet long and
two feet six inches thick, just as the
town clock sounded the hour of noon.
The beaver began by barking the tree
a foot above the ground.
That done he attacked the wood.
He worked hard, alternating his labor
with dips in his bathing pond. He
bathed and labored alternately until
four o'clock in the afternoon, when he
ate his supper Of bread and carrots
and padded about in his pond until
$3.50 o'clock.
Ten minutes later, when only one
inch of the trees diameter remained
intact, he bore upon his work and the
tree fell Before It fell the beaver

WOMAN HAS CLEVER SCHEME
Possible Accidents to Costumes, No
Matter What Their Color, Are
All Provided For.

At one of the debutante teas the
hostess, woman noted for her fastidi-

that repair was necessary. A friend
accompanied her to her room to sit
and chat while the mending was go

took but moment to select the re-
quired color and the repairs were
quickly made. The guest thereupon
remarked on the advantage of having
threaded needles ready at hand. The
hostess proudly admitted that this was
her own brilliant idea, as it made her
nervous to see a maid try and try
again for needle eye when she was
hurried. She says she not only has a
stock of needles threaded in black and

BLACK AND White COSTUME
Idea That Really Never Has Lost
Favor Comes With New Versions
of the Mode.

Black and white costumes, it seems,
have been revived, though probably
few have ever been able to discover
that they were in need of any such
process. A smart new version of the
mode may be seen in suit consisting
of white linen skirt and a black
taffeta coat, in Russian blouse style,
which is adorned with white linen
buttons and buttonholes bound with
white linen. Another striking black
and white combination is in a gown
Of oyster white satin. the skirt of
