ENDED IN DEATH FOR BOTH
onlooker Graphically Describes Duel
Between Powerful Grizzly Esar
and Active Puma.

When the grizzly saw the puma his
wicked little dark eyes glowed sud
denly red, and he came up with a
numbering rush. writes Charles G. ID.
Roberts in the Ladies Home Journal.
With his gigantic furry bulk 1t look
ed as if he must instantly annihilate
the slim, slight creature that opposed
him. 1t was a dreadful place to give
battle, on that straight shelf Of rock
overhanging a sheer drop of perhaps
a thousand feet But scorn and rage
together blinded the sagacity of the
bear With a grunt he charged.
Not till the bear was within ten
feet Of her did the crouching puma
stir. Then. with a harsh screech. she
shot into the air as If hurled upward
by the release of a mighty spring.
Quick as a flash the grizzly shrank
backward upon his launches and
swept up a huge black paw to parry
the assault But he was not quite
quick enough The puma's spring
oSerreached his guard. She landed
fairly upon his back, facing his tail.
In the fraction OF a second she had
whirled about and was tearing at his
throat with teeth and claws, while
the terrible talons OF her hindpaws
ripped at his TANKS
With roar of agony and amaze
ment the grizzly struggled to shake
off the puma. clutching and striking
at her with paws that at one blow
could smash In the skull of the most
powerful bull But he could not reach
her. Then he reared up and threw
himself backward against the face OF
the rock, striving to crush her under
his enormous weight. And In this he
almost succeeded Just in time she
writhed around outward-but not
quite far enough. for one paw was
caught and ground to pulp. But at
the next instant, thrust back from the
rock by his own effort, the bear top
pied outward over the brink of the
shelf. Graphing nradly to save him
self he caught only the bowed loins
OF the puma, who now sank her teeth
once more into his throat, while her
rending claws seemed to tear him
everywhere at once. He crushed her
In his grip; and, in dreadful ball OF
screeching. roaring, biting. mangling
rage, the two plunged downward into
the dim abyss.

OF COLLARS NEEDED
Well to Embroider a Number, So They
May Be Worn With Frocks OF
Different Types.

The collars and tichus of darned
net are very attractive, so why not
make one for your coat or blouse? At
present collars seem to be one of
the most important items of ones

make a variety to wear with frocks
of all types,
To make collar OF darned net take
a quantity OF plain or filet net and us

net, allowing enough to turn in at the
edges Edge the collar with a narrow
edging of valenciennes or iilet lace,
whipstitching it neatly to the net. and
bind the neck line with a bias strip

darning
If you choose colored woods for this.
mark out your design and darn in and
out the meshes of the net until the re-
CURED design is formed, Flower de-
signs are also effective and can be
done with white or colored thread.
The Bulgarian designs are especially
effective and are much favored at
present Select woods or mercerZed
cottons in tones of red. blue, yellow,
green and black to darn the design.
When working on net it is neces-
sary to hold the material firmly but
care must be taken not to stretch it.
Use an embroidery frame if you desire
the work to be done most successful
ly.
The collars of cream net embroid-
cred with cream mercerized cotton
and edged with a narrow pleating of
lace are very pretty and are much
worn with white blouses or frocks.
Darning on net makes pleasant
work for warm weather, so plan your
collars Immediately.

ALWAYS USEFUL WHITE SKIRT
Nav Be Worn With Blouse of Any
Color and Provides Decidedly
Attractive Changes.

The separate skirt is established.
Last winter cabled dispatches said
that Parisians were wearing coats of
one color. skirts of another A little
later the particolored coat suit was
seen on this side OF the Atlantic, Then
came serge suits for spring and early
summer with coats of blue and skirts
of blue and white or coats of blue and
colored skirts Now that the time for
linen. crash and cotton suits of many
kinds has come the combination of
two colors in these materials is a
usual thing.
The woman who has a cotton suit
of any sort or color should possess
herself of several separate white
skirts. They can be worn with white
or light colored or figured null or
wolfe blouses with the coat of the suit
and so provide many attractive
changes The coat of the two piece
wash suit which is never worn so
much as the skirt and does not need
to be Numbered so often will easily
serve to wear with three or four
skirts
A pocket is a feature of many of
the new skirts. Most of the pockets
are fastened over one of the hip
seams. but this placing is rather awk-
ward. Some of them are fastened on
one side OF the front-a much more
convenient position.
