Emma Goldman says that all Euro
peans are serious-minded. This /
believe to be- largely true. But their
children in this land of the free are
as quick as fash and can see a
joke as quick as any native Ameri-
can. In fact, the children of foreign
parents are native Americans 1t is
observed that the Englishman laughs
about week after joke is sprung.
The German is very serious, but he
does pretty well considering that he
has to learn our language. Pat is
the exception. He not only catches
on quick, but he coins much of our
real wit We cannot live without
him. The darby is another excep-
ton. His analysis is most amusing
and his hilarity is good tonic.
If there was more josh, jest and
drollery among foreigners there
would be less murder and fewer
fights. We should study the sales
man who always comes up smiling
and with either more nonsense or
another story The average Yankee
is full of hot air and is about one

There ought to be anti-serious

have to move at all you could live a
long time with very little food because
none of it would be used for energy 1t
is the same way with Johnny Chuck
Sleeping and lying perfectly still he
needs no food for energy and so his
body gets all it needs by absorbing it
from the fat. absorbing means taking
in the way sponge soaks up water.
Sosyou see 1t was quite as important
to Johnny Chuck that he should be fat
enough as 1t was to Striped Chipmunk
that he should have his storehouse
filled before the coming of Rough
Brother North Wind and Jack Frost 1t
was this that Johnny had on his mind
as he sat on his doorstep that bright
cool autumn afternoon. There was still
plenty of food. He could eat more II he
really needed it. To be sure, he was
tired of eating. For long time he had
been eating, not because he was hun
cry. but to store food away in the form
of fat. His neighbors didn't under
stand this. They watched him eat and
eat and grow fatter and they called
him piggish. OF course. this was very
unfair. He was no more piggish than
was Striped Chipmunk filling his store
house. The only difference was that
Johnny Chucks storehouse was under
his skin.
II wish I could know IL the winter
is going to be hard and long" said
Johnny as he waddled over to a patch
of clover. He was already SO fat that
he was roly-poly and waddled when he
walked. I'm sleepy enough to go to
bed right now. but I want to be sure
that I am fat enough"

Johnny Chuck Has Something
on His Mind.

Johnny Chuck sat on his doorstep
down in the far corner of the Old Or
chard trying to make up his mind. Yes,
sir. that is just what Johnny Chuck
was trying to do and he was making
hard work of it. You know how hard
1t sometimes is when you are a little
undecided. First you think you will,
then you think you won't, and finally
you begin asking everybody around
you for their opinions and wind up by
being no better off than you were in
the beginning.
The matter on Johnny Chuck's mind
was whether he was fat enough to
sleep comfortably all winter. That
seems like a funny thing to have wor-
rying one, doesn't it, But it WASH t
funny to Johnny Chuck. No, indeed, it
wasn't funny at all. 1t really was very
serious. He knew that great deal de-
pended on the amount of fat stored
away under his skin before he said
goodbye to everybody and went to bed
deep in the ground to sleep until
spring. If he were fat enough it
wouldn't make much difference to him
how cold the winter might be or how
late sweet Mistress Spring might be in
coming to wake him up. But if he
didn't have fat enough tucked away
under his skin he might not be warm
enough, and if Mistress Spring should
happen to be very late he would be so
weak when he awoke that he might not
have strength enough to crawl out of
his house. Or 1t might happen that
hunger would awaken him before Mis-
tress Spring arrived and then he might
freeze to death trying to find some
thing to eat before there was anything
fit to put in a Woodchuck's stomach.
So YOU see the matter was really
very important to Johnny Chuck. The
fat under his skin was both a blanket
and food. That seems queer but it was
true. The fatter he was the warmer
he would keep and the more comfort
able he would be. In this way the fat
was like a blanket. While he slept
through the long. cold months of course
he would eat nothing. In the first
place he wouldn't be awake to eat, and
you know people do not eat while they

Eighteenth Century Coats.

These large revers and turnover col
lars are significant because they indi-
cate a departure from the coat that
fastened to the chin. Not that these
are finished; it would seem that no
fashion is finished. to judge from the
amazing variety to be in use this sea
son, but the new note is struck by the
eighteenth century coat. with it's full
skirt, its tight waist line and it's i'm
mense revers and collars.
The neckwear people are already fea-
turing high, folded stocks of white
null, with full jabots in front 1t is
said that this type of neckwear will
GUST the large, rolling collar that has
been worn over coats. The only ap-
peal that the high stock will make to
women who like low collars is that
the eighteenth century line goes away
Il ON the chin and not under it.
Sleeves are another important fea-
ture of these eighteenth century coats,
and mainly because they are not ac-
cordins to the period. for while they
reach the wrist or cover it, they are
full and not tight
