A Watcher Watched.


When Nibbler whispered that the
noise Danny heard was made by Black
Pussy, and then scampered away in
great fright, Danny Meadow Mouse was
at first inclined to think that this was
another of the foolish frights Nibbler
was forever having. So Danny Meadow
Mouse didn't run. He kept perfectly
still and listened with all his might.
There it was again. a slight rustling
of the hay. Somebody certainly was
creeping about overhead and trying to
make no noise. Danny looked pleased.
He was pleased. Yes. sir, Danny was
pleased. Can you guess why? Well,
Danny was pleased because it made
him feel more at home. You see he
was so used to being hunted out there
on the Green Meadows that life
wouldn't seem quite real if he were
not hunted at all.
Now Danny knew that if that was
Black Pussy she couldn't possibly
reach them down under all that hay.
In fact. he couldn't see how any one
could get at them there. Out on the
Green Meadows Reddy Fox had hunted
him by following his private little
paths. Black Pussy had done the same
thing sometimes, though never as clev-
erly as Reddy Fox. But there they
could walk through the grass, while
here Nibb1er's runways were under
things and behind things where no
one bigger than a mouse possibly could
get through. So Danny was very Gu
rious to know how Black Pussy hunted.
Danny listened as hard as ever he
could. All was still. He couldn't hear
a single suspicious sound. Had Black
Pussy left? He had feeling that she
hadn't. But If she hadn't where was
she and what was she doing? Danny
felt that he would be easier, very much
easief. in his mind, If he knew
You stay right here until I come
back. Nanny" he whispered. I'm go
ing to find out a few things we very
much need to know if we are going to

what he wanted to know.
1t was easy running along there. and

it was. 1t was the tip Of Black Pussy s.

just to one side Of where Nibbler's lit
tie path under the hay came out to that
open space. She was just far enough
to one side so that Nibbler or he him
clear couldn't see her and would be
sure to think all was we'll. She was
squatting there with her eyes fixed on
that little opening under the hay. So
this was her method of hunting in the
barn! 1t was very simple-just wait
ing patiently where sooner or later
Nibbler was likely to come. for. Of
course. it was Nibbler she was waiting
for. She didn't yet know that Danny

NEW YORK, December 13.-Mlle. Lii
lian Gauze, who has arrived from Paris to
play number of roles in the French the
ater in New York, has brought with her
some very good looking clothes.

make 1t very worth while.
Eccentric French Dressing.
There are so many French people in
New York today that we are getting a
good idea of how the French women put
on their clothes, and, incidentally, we are
seeing an immense amount Of eccentric
dressing, which New York mas heard of,
more than INDUCED in.
There is enough eccAntricity on the
streets to satisfy those who call loudly
for indivdualism. but it has always been
OF the American brand. unmistakable. and
usually absurd. The ecceatricities of this
winter are SO Gallo that one does not
need to ask who the woman Is that wears
the costume Cur streets are filed with
these foreigners, men and women, and
oEe sees coStumery that balongS so def
rItely to the boulevards that 1t gives one a
puzzled feeling of uncertainty about
clothes.
Some of them are very bad and the
CRITICS of French clothes insistently point
these costumes out to women as an ex-
ample of what we are trying to follow,
but women at the French theater wear
clothes on the stage which are made for
them by the best French dressmakers and
which do not present eccentricity. They
are well worth copying.
The Prevalence Of Long Sleeves.
Mile. Gauze Is one of the actresses who
has her clothes made in France and who
wears them WELL although as we some
times see her at restaurants in the even

one which was designed for Mile Gauze

has the long velvet sleeves to which it is
well to bring attention. This kind of
sleeve is slipping into fashion wherever
there's a loophole. 1t is made in a variety

velvet on the sleeves and the neck

character to the garment. A black

choice.

SHAKESPEARE
ON JOB, SAYS
BILLY SUNDAY
Evangelist Approves of Famous
Line, "What Fools These

OCEAN GROVE. \. j., Sept. o.
Showing little trace Of his exhausting
set-to with Satan the previous night,
Billy Sunday squared of at his arch
enemy again the other day.
With 1t all, and despite the fact
he was exceedingly annoyed at his
meeting being disturbed, Billy was
very happy, for among the seventy
five trail hitters this morning was
Lon V. Stephens, former governor Of
Missouri.
"oh. God, what fools these mortals
be, and Bill Shakespeare was on his
job" Sunday calculated in referring
10 those whom he characterized as
not decent enough to be Christians.
And then, when he was applauded for
the utterance, he added: "Oh, you can
clap your hands, but some OF you
know you are not decent enough to
rcnounce your sins. like to look at
you, but I don't want to know YOU"
Billy told his audience that you
can't tell anything by the church
membership of man, for some Of the
biggest devils he ever met were bap-
tised in the church. His pet aversion,
the society woman. came in for an
other vocal castigation.
"The most useless, good-for-noth-
ing person on earth is the society
woman. She goes through life and
