Reddy Fox Discovers Peter.

Reddy Fox was hunting for Danny
Meadow Mouse down on the Green
Meadows He did that every day. or al
most every day. Danny was quite used
to it He knew all about Reddy and
just how to fool him. Sometimes Reddy
gave him great rights. but on the
whole he rather enjoyed the excitement
of these daily hunts. 1t made him feel
good clear to the tip Of his little short
tail to see Reddy finally give up and go
off disappointed You see. there is al
ways a lot of pleasure in feeling that
you are smarter than some one else,
especially some one who has the name
of being very smart indeed. And SO,
when Reddy would give up hunting for
him Danny would swell out his chest
and boast a little to Nanny Meadow
Mouse.
mo one ever calls me smart" he
would say, but there goes one of the
smartest hunters on the Green Meadow
or in the Green Forest, but with all his
smartness he can't catch me. l think
am a little bit smart myself
You really can't blame him for feel
ing that way, can you? On this par
ticular morning Reddy had twice al
most caught DANNY ana Ddnny was
getting little worried when the Merry

children of Old Mother West Wind.
brought the sound of Sammy Jays
voice from up near the Old Orchard. 1t
was very clear that Sammy was much
excited about something. Reddy stop
ped hunting Danny and pricked up his
sharp ears. Whenever Sammy Jay
screamed like that something interest
ing was usually going on. 1t was still
early in the morning and Reddy felt
that 1t would be quite safe. to go up
there and see what was going on.
He listened for few minutes and
turned and trotted swiftly in the direc-
ton Of the Old Orchard. but not direct
ly toward the place where Sammy was
screaming so. Oh. my, no! That isn't
Reddy's way. He is too sharp and clever
and sly to be direct in anything. He
first makes sure that the way is clear
and that he is not likely to get into
trouble. So. instead of heading straight
for where Sammy was screaming, he
went in a roundabout way, SO as to en-
ter the Old Orchard from the side near
| est the Green Forest and creep up be-
hind the old stone wall to point where
he could see what was going on with
| the least possible danger of being seen
himself
When he reached the old stone wall

ears cooked forward to catch every

Two MOTHERS TELL
How Their Sickly Children Were
Made Strong and Well.

For six years our little girl suf-
fered from a bronchial trouble, she
had no appetite. could not sleep and
was SO nervous we had to keep her
out of school. The doctors said
nothing but a change of climate
would help her. We were discour-
aged, when one day a friend asked
us to try Vinol, and after taking six
bottles she does not look like the
same child. She has a fne appetite,
is lively. healthy and well, and Vinol

sound and his keen nose smiling the
air for any telltale scent and his eager
eyes watching for Sammy Jay. Pres
emily he saw Sammy's blue coat in a
tree on the very edge Of the Old Or
chard. Instantly Reddy stopped and
fiattened himself down behind the stone
wall to watch. He saw right away that
Sammy was quarreling with some one
the other side of the wall, and that he
was SO busy calling bad names that he
wasn't keeping his usual sharp watch.
Very. very carefully Reddy crawled
along to place where the stone wall
was low and then raised his head just
enough to peek over. There, right out
in the open. sat Peter Rabbit, making
faces at Sammy Jay.
Reddy almost chuckled aloud This
is the time TIL catch Peter Rabbit" he
muttered. IF 1 can get between him
and the old stone wall he will have to
run down on the Green Meadows He
will probably start for the Old Brier
Patch, and If can't catch him before
he gets there I don't deserve ever to
catch him. He will make a great deal

Strawberry Preserves.

Have you planned to enrich your
storeroom shelves with pots and jars
of strawberry preserves? If so, read
over these recipes. and see if some of
them are new and interesting enough
to try:
Strawberry Jam-Measure out the
sugar and berries in proportion OF one
part of fruit to three-quarters of a
part of sugar-three parts OF sugar to
four of fruit. Wash and stem the ber-
ries. and crush them. Put them in a
granite or porcelain kettle over the
fire and boil for twenty minutes, stir
ring occasionally. Then add half the
sugar. let come to boil and add the
rest of the sugar. Boil slowly until 1t
is of the consistency of jam, and pack
into small jars.
Strawberry Sirup-To make straw
berry strip, for punches, water ices
or sherbets. crush the berries. after
washing and hulling them. and press
them through a sieve. Measure the
juice, and allow pint of sugar for a
pint Of juice. Boil the sugar with half
as much water without stirring until
it spins a thread, and then add the
strawberry juice. Simmer, without
boiling, for fifteen minutes. Then put
into sterili5ed bottles or jars and seal.
Strawberry Jelly-In making straw
berry jelly 1t is necessary to add some
other fruit juice to make a substantial
jelly. Currant juice is as delicious
combined with strawberries as with
raspberries. If currants are not forth
coming in strawberry season, and they
seldom are, can the strawberry juice in
sterilized jars without sugar until cur
rants come along. Then add an equal
amount of currant Juice. and three
fourths as much sugar as the measure
Of both kinds of juice. Make jelly in
the usual way.

tablish all the fashions even more
than the designers who invent the
gowns. 1t is what France adopts in
her fashionable hours of pleasure that the
rest of the world takes as a leading
style. Today, there is no fashionable life
in France, and any one with an eye for
the truth can see that Americans are
ioundering through a vast variety OF
clothes that are offered them. without es-
tablishing any set fashion.
In a way, this Is good: it works for
better dressing; and in way, it is bad,
for the majority Of people do not know
anything about clothes and they need the
stimulus and example Of the minority.
1t is small part Of the minority that
has started the idea Of dressing according
to portraiture. Throughout all fashion
able sets in New York one sees jewelry,
coiffures, neckwear, and especially hats.
have been taken from canvases. This
has led to the adoption of original styles
and has added to the gayety Of any fash
ionable gathering. There is no telling
what women will appear in from day
to day, if she has taken up with this
pursuit Of adopting the costumes Of her
ancestors. should they happen to suit her
type.

A Hat of the 18th Century.

Recently, at a smart wedding recep-
ton a woman, well known for her in
dividual tastes in dress as in art and in
terror decoration, appeared in the won
derful hat which is sketched today. She
acknowledged that she copied it from a
portrait of the eighteenth century which
she has always admired.
'Once we wore these clothes to cos
tune balls she said, but today we're
wearing them in the ordinary manner"
The hat had been especially devised by
her milliner out of fine. cream-colored
straw run together in inch wide bands
1t was as well fitted to the head as a
gown to the figure. Around the base OF
the crown was a narrow. black velvet
ribbon, which ended In long streamers
that passed over the wearers shoulders
and hung well below the waist in front.
In front two pink ostrich tips spread
away from each other and formed q
brilliant dash of color against the cream
background Of the high, round crown.

a cup of water to four and one-half
of sugar. When 1t is cool pour it over
washed and hulled awberries packed

NEW YORK. May 1s.-When the gay

dissolved into matter of fact workers for

knowledged that they took the painted
canvases instead of animate life as in
SEPARATION in designing new clothes
1t Is true the paorama Of the war gave
them ideas. and from it we got few
definite fashions. but 1t Is probable that
when the war is over we shall see far
more of them than ever. A thing in
retrospect is often more inspirational
than a thing in action, and the French
are too close to the horror Of this war,
which is being fought on their territory,
to wish to incorporate it in their women's
clothes
The only sartorial symbol of the war to
them Is the long, black veil and the sim
pie, black gown. The designers went back
with more happiness to eras that pre-
coded this one, although these eras dur
ing their existence were certainly not
productive Of either mental or moral hap
piness.
The days Of 1870 and 1880 were not
serene; but in retrospect, their clothes
seem to have been carried from frivolous
pleasure to pleasure like gay butterflies
and strange to say, the women of the
fashionable world are now wearing these
same clothes under the same cloud OF
world depression.
