Prickly Porky had started down the
tree before Granny finished SPEAKING. and
his usually dull eyes actually - lled
bright. The fact is, they were bright
with anger.
WHAT are yo, going to dor asked
Granny Fox, backing away a little.
Going to give that boaster a chance to
try to get his Pofcupine dinner" grunted
Prickly Porky.
Granny turned aside to grin. 81 don't

'.but I heard that he is planning to get

With tattle-tales to feed IL.
No one knows how true this is better
than does old Granny Fox. And no one
knows better than she how to make trou-
BILE for other people by starting little
untrue stories. You see, she learned long
ago how fast a mean little tale will travel
once it has been started and so when
there is some one with whom she is
afraid to fight honestly she uses these
little untrue tales instead of claws and
teeth. and often they hurt a great deal
worse than claws or teeth ever could.
Now you would think that by this time
all the little meadow and forest people
would have found old Granny Fox out.
and that they wouldn't believe her
stories But the truth is, most people
are very apt to believe unpleasant things
about other people without taking the
trouble to find out if they are true, and
old Granny Fox knows this. Besides,
she is smart enough to tell these little
trouble making. untrue stories as If she
had heard them from some one else. So,
of course some one else gets the blame
for starting them. Oh. Granny Fox is
smart and sly! Yes, stree! She certainly
is smart and sly

Everyday Dressing Gowns.

Many women do not care to indulge In
the mysteries Of lace and chiffon and rib
bon and roses that are called room robes
by the rich, but every woman needs one
or more attractive lounging robes in
which one can read or write in the long
hot summer afternoons or put on for
breakfast in the early mornings
There has been revived fashion for
loose, long wrappers of white dotted
swiss. The women of other days, and
always the women of the south, knew
these wrappers Well They went to the
tub and they were worn always in the
house during the day without corsets over
attractive lingerie and half belted In with
blue or pink or lavender ribbon. The
necks were opened the rolling collar
edged with lace and the fiaring three
quarter sleeves were caught up with a
little bow of satin ribbon.
Now these are the lounging robes that
have returned to fashion this summer,
china silk of blue or pink in order that
one need not feel too transparency
clothed. The economy in these robes is
the way they wash and iron, and one
does like a garment that can go to the
tub along with the shirt waist every week
and not TO the cleaners once in two
months.
Among the real novelties is a two-piece
loungfng robe of crepe de chine. which
was first made in brick red with Turkish
tUlDfOlueTS, dffO Tic o haoh SoP diie
slippers to match. 1t went by the name
of the smoking gown and was a fashion
able fantasy built on the theme that the
fashionable smoke in the morning. 1t
has been copied in all kinds OF material
for women who do not smoke In the
morning or any other time
The skirt is hung from the shoulders
by ribbon suspenders and is slashed
slightly at the hem on each side. There
is a straight coat that hangs half way
IN the knees and is also sashed at each
side and edged with bright-hued embroid-
ery. At the waist line, but not outlining
1t there, Is a huge draped sash of china
silk with fringed ends.

For Weekend Visits.

Every woman needs an attractive room
robe when she is travelling, or II she
goes off from Friday to Monday to visit
friends. Crepe de chine is an admira BILE
material but some of the new weayes of
ii wrinkle at a touch. thick quality of
china silk is always admirable, and the
wash silks in purple and white or blue
and white stripes are attractive The
latter have good deal of character to
them One model is of lavender and
white stripe with high empire belt of
Persian ribbon run through straps of the
material at sides, back and front. There
is a deep cape collar of the ribbon edged
with beading and ruffiing of lace, and
through the beading is run black velvet
ribbon.
The loose sleeves are trimmed in the
same way, and at the left side, above
the waist, there Is small pocket Of
white lace in which is white and purple
handkerchief

Delicate little cheeses can be made of
sour milk in this way: Heat the milk
slowly until, when 1t is pressed in the
hand, it will form in a hard ball Do
not let it get hot enough to scald, as this
will change its texture. When it has
reached the hard ball stage strain it
through cheesecloth. Put the curd-

People advancing in years should
