With his long tongue the elephant went
around pulling in every animal he cared
to eat and breaking down the small trees
Of the groves in which the people liked
to build their tepees. And no one tried
to stop the elephant from destroying
whatever he pleased, until Little Rabbit.

time for him to say something and do
something.
Then Little Rabbit started out TO find
the elephant. As soon as he saw the ele-
phant coming. he lay down in the grass
and turned himself into 4 piece Of flint.
But while he became flint. he still looked
Just like a rabbit; and when the ele-
phant saw him. he stuck out his long
tongue and drew Little Rabbit into his
great mouth.
Down into the great stomach OF the
elephant went Little Rabbit: as he was
swallowed. Little Rabbit turned himself
into the shape OF a long. sharp knife and
began to cut his way through the side OF
the elephant. When he had cut hole
In the elephants side big enough to get
out Of he found the elephants heart and
cut It into two pieces.
OF course, the elephant fell down when
his heart was cut in two. and then Lit
tie Rabbit climbed out Of the hole in the
elephants side.
The first thing Little Rabbit did after
getting out into the world again was to
hunt up all the young children of the
elephant And when he found them. he
grabbed them in his big hand (for this
time Little Rabbit had turned himself

them as far as he could So far he
threw them that they fell In lano

The Reveries Of a Woman
Who Has Lost Illusions,
Husband and Child, and Is
Now Alone.

The sick woman, aroused from slum-
her, stirred and opened her eyes. For a
moment she lay In the half stupor that
follows deep sleep: then she stirred again.
raising her head slightly in listening
attitude, and made that swift, tender
motion of the arms with which a mother
draws her baby to her breast The next
moment she had fallen back with closed
eyes, all the tenderness gone out OF her
face, all the joy that had fingered from
her dream turned into bitterness, and
the feeling at her heart that instead Of
waking from stupor into life, she had
passed from a merciful, Inconsistencies
of life. from a mirage in which all that
is precious in life had been reflected, into
a waking death.
The arms that she had awakened to
stretch out were empty. The memory
that In her slumber had turned to joy
was flooded suddenly with the sense OF
loss. She was alone. and for the moment
only, but as 1t seemed to her, for all time.
And then her mind reverted TO her dream.
She had been a girl once more, and yet
not a girl either; for II was a woman
grown in stature and mature in years
who had once more wandered in the
green fields and sunshine OF childhood. A
woman grown, but without experience;
a child in heart and mind: creature OF
dreams, that remembers mistily the world
of reality that has been left behind. The
dim memory of that world pervaded her
dream, and invested 1t with a romance. a
sense of expectation. a hope OF some
vague fulfllment that the vision lacked.
And yet the dream had been a happy
one She had seemed to walk in a rain
bow haze composed OF the illusions OF her
childhood: to breathe an air that was full
Of content and of tender promise. No
lover was in this dream; no mate to break
her heart by entering into its kingdom;
no child to break her heart by coming.
only to leave IL alone and desolate. Hers
had been the negative happiness OF inno-
cence. the happiness of the child, with the
yearning after happiness of the woman.
Tears of grief and utter desolation rose
to her eyes and trickled through the
closed lids, glistening on the long lashes
and the pale cheek. 1t was with her one
of those solemn moments when the weary
spirit contemplates death without either

Despite all that philosophers, poets, or

that has no taint of guile about IT. Love

TWO IDEAS.

The home dressmaker was an inven-
tive body, and every now and then she
put forth an idea that was worth copy
ing. The first idea, however. was not
original with her at all, for it came from
watching her grandmother. when that
lady was operating one of the first sew
ing machines. This idea was the simple
act of putting about the arm of the ma
chine. directly in front Of the sewer. a
band of flannel in which to stick pins and
needles. The little old lady, then young
and comely, took a strip of flannel four
inches wide and just long enough to go
about the machine arm and lap over suf-
ficiently to be stitched fast in seam by
hand or to accommodate the safety pin
which could De used instead of the sew
ing to hold ii together Before being put
about the arm the flannel was folded in
half, so that it was but two inches wide.
This gave two thicknesses Of flannel
through which to stick pins and needles
The second. idea was quite as simple
but an original one with the home dress
maker. She was making one Of those
pretty lace undersleeves they are wearing
now, those that reach from the elbow to
the wrist. The sleeves were fulled in at
the top and bottom, having a bishop af-
feet. The sleeves were not open at the
cuffs, but made to slip over the hand.
This made them rather large for the
wrist of the wearer after the sleeves were
pulled over the knuckles. So the home
dressmaker evolved the idea OF placing
a hook and eye on the line of gathering
at the wrist just an inch or so from each
other. After -he sleeve was slipped over
the wrist the little invisible hook was
hooked into the little thread eye and
brought the wris: line or line of gathering
close about the wrist, all without sep
aration in the cuffs Before removing the
sleeves the hook and eye were unfasten-
ed and the sleeves easily slipped over the
knuckles.

SEPARATE SKIRTS.

In spite of the fact that there is a
great favoritism accorded to the one
piece dress. the many beautiful blouses
that are being showered on the FEMININE
world demand separate skirts that are
either parts of suits or are alone In their
practical and modiste glory.
Smart checks. in black and white,
brown and white and green and white
are being made up into models that show
the new lines These are rippled or IN
double and triple tiers. They are easily
made by the home dressmaker.
Among the materials for wash skirts
are piuues, cotton eorduroys. novelty
crepes and linens. cotton veivets and all
weaves OF ratines.
The hustle dress shows its effect in the
separate skirt. There is considerable
drapery at, the back of some new skirts
Pegtop outlines are just as popular as
the draped models that have the fullness
disposed around the waist line.
Moire and taffeta are made into sepa-
rate skirts. These models have wide
girdles of the material to match. and
IN this way suggest costume rather
than a skirt.

BEAUTIFUL CoIFFUREs.

Sounds From the Band Room,

On the 10Th, owing to the lack of en-
the City Band did not lead the Parade
The Normal Band was called out and
on short notice, responded promptly
Considering the circumstances, the boys
performed their part very well. had
they been given q fair chance they
could have done still better. During
the day pressure was brought upon the
City Band to play in the Auditoriu N.
The Boys also responded promptly
and in return for their services we're
accorded the unanim 0us vote of thanks
By the whole audience.
In order to show our good Citiz Ems
thai they were MT being sighted, the
Band came out and played Is select lions
on the street and to show that our
work was intended for all and slight
nobody we thought best to stop at GER
tain places where we thought it might
strike them ali and we trust that our
purpose was accomplished and nobody
felt sighted; at any rate our intention
was good. When the Band played in
front of the Citizens State Bank and
the Mill. the good natured Manager of
the Mill, Mr.. Williams broke the ice by
treating the Boys to some of the finest
10 centers procurable. From there on
west and south the Merchants surely
showed their Hearts in the right spot.
