When one watches the dancers at
the dinner or club dance it is hard to
decide upon the most attractive gown
or to pronounce judgment that will
not straightway be contradicted.
Dance frocks are so varied in design
that this variety adds a pleasure to
those already falling to the lot of the
onlooker.
But certain of the styles possess
unusual fascination. Among them the
gowns made of lace or net fiounces
over underskirts of silk never fail of
admiration.
In nearly all dancing gowns the
waist line is high, the bodice very
simple, and the arms uncovered.
But not all the pretty frocks are
sleeveless. A Powered chiffon, made
with a fiaring skirt, is worn with a
taffeta bodice having a square neck
and elbow sleeves. These are finished
with wide lace frills. The bodice
ends cross at the front In surplice
fashion and iasten at the sides under
rosettes. The bodice is extended into
point at he front, reaching below
the waist line, and needs no girdle to
be worn with It.
Points are not to be lost sight of

Red Fox
Saves His
Brush
By II. M. EGBERT


Copyright, 1915 by w. G. Chapman.)
Red Fox showed his teeth in a grin
as he entered his burrow. He had
had no adventures worthy of the name
that afternoon, but he meant to have
some that evening. That Afternoon he
had merely skunk through the heather
investigating the food supply. Now
he curled himself up snugly in his
earth and prepared to sleep until
nightfall.
Red Fox was bachelor. He was
monster fox, and one of the oldest OF
the county. His splendid fur was
known to every huntsman over ra-
dius of leagues. He had pitted his
wits against the hounds time and
again, and always won.
Life was nothing without the spice
of adventure. They say fox loves
the hunt as much as the men, the
hounds, and the horses. Red Fox was
hunted three times week, and he
day, when his strength and speed be-
gan to fail him, the inevitable end
would come. The hounds would tear
his slim body, his mask and pads and
brush would be cut off to adorn some
hall. But of that Red Fox knew moth
ing. He thought that he was immor-
tai.
When night came he skunk out and
was soon going at full gallop across
the fields. The house that he had in
spected had new chicken yard. 1t
was tile work OF moment for Red
Fox to leap from bough to the coop
