So when Chatterer had been caught
in the trap in Farmer Browns corn
crib he hadn't doubted in the least that
Farmer Browns boy would give him
to Black Pussy or do something equal
1y cruel, and even when he found that
he was only to be kept a prisoner in a
very comfortable prison, with plenty to
eat and drink, he wasn't willing 10 be-

Indeed, he hated him more than ever,
if that were possible.
But Farmer Browns boy was very

to think of some new treat for Chat

something. At first Chatterer would
hide in his hollow stump as soon as
he saw Farmer Browns boy coming
and wouldn't SO much as peek out un-
til he had gone away When he was
sure that the way was clear he would
come out again. and always he found
some delicious fat nuts or some other
dainty waiting for him. After d little

terribly impatient for Farmer Browns

wait. but would slyly peep out of his
little round doorway to see what had
been brought for him. Then one day
Farmer Browns boy didn't come at all
Chatterer tried to make himself be-
1feve that he was glad. He told him
self that he hated Farmer Browns boy
and he hoped that he never. never
would see him again. But all the time
he knew that it wasn't true. 1t was
the longest day since Chatterer had
been prisoner Early the next morn

he heard a step in the woodshed. and

New -Tunics Are Long.

The first feature that took the eye III
one gown was the length of the tunic.
1t was by Cheruit. made of blue serge
and black satin. The usual tunic was
there, but the usual feature was its
length. 1t fell to the top of the shoes at
the back. and rippled upward in front to
a well defined girdle, about five inches
deep.
The skirt was of the satin, the tunic
of serge, and the bodice of the two fab
RIGS combined was cut on the well known
Cheruit lines. The top of the tunic in
stead of being fitted to the hips by darts
vanished into the bias girdle, which gave
the effect of an oriental sash. The re-
suit, however, was far more graceful than
one gets from a tightly wound sash
around the hips.
AS the manneQuin walked one caught

which did not extend upward more than
five inches from its hem. This also. is e
