He IS knock-kneed, wry-knecked.
bara-1inned. hump-backed, splay-foot-
Ell sonirrel-tOothed, and, worst OF all.
he smells like a Turkish rug in damp
All 81 these features make the camel
a verv popular animal during the cir

their hands in glee to see him swing
his raveled-out tail and kneel down

dion.
upon hts looks He is no actress. he
is the mainstay and comfort OF the
coffee-cOlored Bedouln and II II were
not for him, the desert would be as
desolate as a fashionable church in
August.
The camel was designed by nature to
live in deserts His large, 1labby feet
hold him up in the sand HIS nostrils

the real estate while IL is flying HIS
burn off his hair, and his head IS so
empty that he cannot get a sunstroke.
He is also equipped with water ballast
tanks in his interior and can soak up
enough at one drink to carry him
through a prohibition administration
There are Kansas men who weep loudly
every time they go 10 missouri because
they are not camels-
The cameTs legs and back are strong
and he can carry large load At a
few words from his driver he kneels
down making more fuss about It than

it to jump through a hoop. He IS then

BY FLoRENCE E. YonER.

"HERE was no doubt but what
Miss Flax was the best dressed
dolly in Tabbyland- Her clothes
were always fresh and new, and she
had so many Of them that she could
wear a different one every day in the
week. She pretended that she did not
care very much for them. but there
were several dresses Of which she was
very fond.
The one which was white. and had
small pink bows on the front fastened
with small gold buttons, was her IA
Yor1te- Whenever she wanted TO look
especially nice she wore this one,
! Now. one day. she was going calling
with grandma Tabby.
She was usually so late that the old
| lady cat had 10 wait for her TO dress,
but today she was ready long before
hand If 1 were you said Granny
Tabby, who was really very proud of
her I would go out and sit on the
porch and not move until time to go.
You are sure 10 get your dress dirty If
you don't"
said Miss Flax as she went jerkily
down stairs. She spread out her skirts
and sat very quietly on the porch. Now
she intended 70 sit STILL but who can
tell what is liable to happen.
She had not been there very long
down the road They had a nice new
rope and were skipping. First one
would take a turn and then the other.
They came straight up the path and TO
Miss Flax.
"Oh. turn for US" they both cried,
then one Of Us can jump"
Cant do it." said Miss Flax Il am
afraid that I might spoil my dress"
Tom and Binkie looked at the pretty
dress and then at their bingham
aprons.
7 am glad that we don't have to
wear such clothes" said Tom Mrs.
Tabby had so many kitty boys and girls
that she did not always have trousers
10 60 around for the boys. so when
they played most OF the time they wore
short aprons like the girls. They were
never scOlded for getting them torn or
soiled and were able 10 have a very
good time
They did not beg Miss Flax, but tied
the rope TO the fence and tried to
jump that way. But after a while
Miss Flax said that she would take
