many men and great many animals
who are never happy, and. for the
most part. they are themselves to
blame. for they have not learned the
lesson that contentment with what
we have is the greatest source of hap

That, then, is the lesson | am to

see how well can do it," and saying
good-by to the fox Jack Rabbit start
ed for home.
All the way home he did not see a
thing which furnished any sort of an
application of the wisdom that the fox
had told him. but the next morning
he was awakened by the sound of
voices outside his burrow, and peek
ing out of the hole. he saw a small
boy holding in his hand cap which
was worn and frayed. and he was
saying to himself: Il won't wear
that old cap any longer My father
has got to buy me new one, and to
make sure that he does am going to
throw this me away" and. drawing
back his arm he flung it as far as he
could toward some bushes, where 1t
landed in a hollow of the ground, well
covered by thickly leaved branch of
| a small tree.
What an unhappy boy" said the
rabbit, land IL because be Is discon-
tented with what may be the best that
his father can afford"
A few hours after Jack Rabbit
thought he would go over to where
the cap lay and take look at it, and
just as he ~ot near to the cap he
| thought he saw something in it move
and going a little closer. he saw ii

trimmed to form yoke, and an extra
piece is set in at each side by shir-
ring or plating it to the yoke. The
fashion for short skirts help make the
way easy in altering them. and bor-
ders at the bottom and bands set on
are useful for the same purpose.
Coats have been brought up to dats
this season by the addition of full
skirts. set on at the waist line, and
by belts and pockets made in the new
mode. A collar and cuffs in another
fabric help out i'll the transformation,
and buttons supplement these with
the smartest of finishing touches.
It is a great satisfaction to con-
vert an old style into new one.
Whether one is compelled to be eco
nomical or not remade suit made of
good cloth adds variety to the ward
robe and admits of the exercise of the
individual taste in design.

AMUSING PAsTlME FOR BoYs
Any Number of Players May Engage
in Game Of Duck on the Rock ~
How It Is Played. siT !

All boys and girls have played ducks
and brakes at some time or another.
The game is too well known to de-
scribe here. Another variety of this
game is called Duck on the Rock
1t is played like this: First pile up
a heap of stones: each player is pro-
vided with duck (stone). and In
turn puts his "duck" on the top of the
pile. A little way behind the pile
stands the tick" or sentry. When q
player has placed his duck" on the
rock the others try to knock it on
with their stones. 4
Should player miss he must be
careful to pick up his stone again lest
the sentry touches him before he can
return to the mark from which the
stones are thrown. II he is caught
he becomes sentry and places his own
duck on the rock to be thrown at.
If the duck is knocked off the rock
the players may pick up their stones
at leisure, for no one may be ''ticked"
until the duck has been put in po-
sition BY its owner.

Comfortable German Helmets.

German helmets brought to England
as trophies of war have been much
admired. Though made apparently
of steel, they were as light almost as
a cloth cap or a straw hat
Round the inside, where the helmet
touches, was ring of metal ''leaf
springs" bound with leather, which
lightly clipped the head to keep the
helmet on without heavy pressure.
The brass spike or knob that crowned
the helmet was made useful as well as
ornamental. There were large holes
in it, which gave very good ventilation
to the inside of the helmet-much bet
ter than the pinholes that are sup
posed to ventilate a bowler. In fact,
the Germans seem to have succeeded
in making a really comfortable bowl

JACK RABBIT GETS WELL

rEv,,hePeS SYNDICATE ny

Jack Rabbit continued to improve
after Mister Fox came to visit him in
his burrow, but he was still rather
weak on the morning when he started
for the first time since his illness to
visit the fox in his home on the hill.
AS he started out he thought again
of the last lesson that the fox had
taught him, and said to himself:
This walk is not going to be half SO
hard as it seems. If only keep up my
courage"
Jack Rabbit had thought many
times of the lesson that had been so
well shown by the fox, when he
walked through the spiders web, after
the beetle and the humble bee had
failed
Mister Fox was watching for the
rabbit, and while he was still a long
way OFF saw him coming and ran down
| to meet him.
We'll well,'' said the fox. Il am
certainly glad to see you and looking
so well. too. One would scarcely
think that you had been i'll at all.
hope that the walk has not tired you
! too much"
When they got to the door of the
fox's house, he said: Come right in
and sit down. for l know that you
must be tired. and perhaps bite OF
something to eat will refresh you q
little" The fox was thinking Of the
meal of green vegetables which tbs
rabbit had set out for him. and he was
almost inclined to offer the rabbit
nothing to eat but the neat OF a fa'
turkey. which had been missing fol
some days from neighboring roost-
But" said the fox to himself, ''tha
would be an unkind thing to do Il
the rabbit since he has been i'll, ant
suppose he forgot the other da,
that foxes do not eat greer vegeta

So instead of the turkey he brough
out some green pea pods, which b
had gathered the day before, and tn
rabbit thought he had never taste
anything more delicious.
'They are the finest ever ate." h
said to the fox, as he finished the las
of them. ''and it was exceedingly kin
