I'D you ever find yourself

struggled with all your mental en-

Did you ever try to think of some

chair over the stove and stir

covered by big apron, and
so Interested in what she was doing
that she did not have eyes for an
other thing.
What a beautiful color this jam
Is going to be- she said to herself,
but where in the world can / hide
1t so that Tom and Binkie cannot
get II" She brushed a whisker out
Of her eye as she stirred and glanced
at the door every once in a while.
She was very tired little kitty
girl, but would not admit it.
Through the long morning and aft
ernoon she had helped Mrs. Tabby
make preserves. and. as a reward,
she was allowed to make some Jam
which was to be her very own.
Outside, directly under the window,
she knew that naughty Tom and
Binkie. her two little kitty brothers,
were watching to see her hide the
jam when 1t was done. Seems to
me that kitty boys in Tabbyland
aren't any better than human boys"
she said as she shook her head.
Anyone would think that the pleas
ure of living In Tabbyland Just like
folks. with no human being to spy
on us and see how smart We can
be, would satisfy any animal But
1t doesn't. They are just as bad as
human beings"
She turned gratefully to Mrs.
Tabby, who had just come into the
room. In a clean gingham dress and
with her spectacles polished until
they shone, her mother looked very
clean and cool and comforting.
Tired, dear?" asked Mrs. Tabby,
who saw at once that the little kitty
girl on the high chair was about

Such is the gown shown. designed by

worn by a noted beauty at a recent
Partisan fete. The fact that the wearer
was the target for the IorgnOns of all

for similar gowns followed the affair,
gives evidence that some style reaction
from the excessively draped gowns of
the moment is perfectly possible. If

Then she put her paw to her
mouth and pulled Tessie over to her.
For several minutes. while the jam
almost burned, she whispered in her
ear. Tessie laughed AMI nodded, and
skipped out Of the room, quite for
getting how tired she was.
Soon a furry head and two wicked
green eyes, with black centers like
two Sits came in sight in the win

popped down. and up came another.
