The little fox boy was very anxious

of course, when his mamma called TO

went in to get the plate of hot biscuits

What's that? You want to know

The kind of sucker Wuzzie was max

Through the middle Of this round
piece of leather the shoemaker had
punched hole for Wuzzie andthrough
this hole the little fox boy had passed
thick string. He tied knot In the
end of it so it would not pull through
the hole and then Wuzzie's sucker was
all finished except that the leather
needed soaking In water to make 1t

"Now!" cried Wuzzie, as he Jumped

The wedding gown of today has lost
some of it's dignity with it's train, but
it has gained q youthful charm which
is to be preferred. In the wedding
frock today, there is much of the
quaint charm and sweetness of grand

quilting, shirring and numberless other
handmade trimmings are used in its
garniture and 1t is fashioned of the
sheerest, most airy Of fabrics and

Attractive Use Of Lace and Chiffon.
Laces, chiffons, and nets were never
daintier or more fairy like than they
are this season. 1t is to be season OF
laces and transparent fabrics. Laces

or the glinting, shimmering wing OF

more substantial, Spanish and thread
