a noise a few minutes before.
Farmer Browns Boy stepped out OF
the barn and looked over where he had
left Reddy Fox. Not a hen was to be
seen! Neither was Dandycock the
Rooster. And-neither was Reddy Fox!
Farmer Browns Boy stared with his
mouth wide open and on his face the
most foolish look ever was. He rubbed
his eyes and stared again. Then quite

show that Reddy ever had been there.
A couple of feathers lay near by, but
not a hen was in sight. He went

and looked in. Every last mother
chicken of them was on roost, and
on the very highest roost was Dandy

them and they stared back at him.
Gradually he began to realize that they
looked scared half to death.

COLORS FOR CHILDREN.

In the toy departments of Washington shops
at Christmas time there was great con-
trast between the dolls that were allowed
to remain in their German or Swiss or
other European clothes and those that
were redressed in American taste. All
the American babies, of course, were
dressed in white. and so were most OF
the American little girls But the little
German babies wore gray red calico, some
of them, and one especially delightful
little doll-baby's bassinet that came from
Germany was trimmed with ruff1es OF red
and yellow calico, with red ribbon bows
and additional trimming. No. Europe
doesnt stick to pink and blue for its
babies.
Well. we dress our babies in pink and
blue ribbons and white clothes. and we
icover their basSinetS with white. and trim
them with pink and white ribbons, and
all their surroundings are pink and white
and blue There is slight tendency to
get away from these two dainty colors,
perhaps. We see nursery furniture paint
ed gray, with deep rose green and blue
decorations-and bassinets to match. And
small children are put into velvet coats
of bright color occasionally.
OF course, the main advantage of white
as a child's color is that it can be washed
and boiled Indefinitely without injury
And that is big advantage.
But for outside clothes, white is a most
unsuitable color, for it shows every bit
of spot and soil that touches it. Some
darker, more durable color is far better
and the tendency noticeable to get away
from white for coats, hats, legg1ns and
other outer garments among well-to-do
children is worth noting for it's economical
side.

its surface nor blackened the sky with

Wolf Larsen at once squared away
and ran down along the rim of the fog

entered the fog to windward of the

blindly driven on into the fog in the

about and out of his shelter and was
now running down to re-enter to lee
