How Gene Field Resigned.

=
When Eugene Field was working on
the old Kansas City Times. according
to the story told by Kansas City man
who knew him. the Denver Tribune
decided to make q bid for his services.
This was In Fields youth. when his
fame was Just budding and before his
lowering period in Chicago. The Den
yer paper obtained Fields services, as
is well known. and the Kansas City
man who tells the story was instru
mental in bringing 1t about. He came
here from Denver. authorized to offer
Field larger salary Field was sit
ting at his desk. coat off. collar lOos
ened. his feet In carpet slippers. The
messenger transmitted the Denver Of
fer. and Field. without commenting on
1t. began to inquire after mutual
friends and acquaintances. Meanwhile
Field took OF his carpet slippers and
begun drawing on his shoes.
well, what are you going to do about
it, said the visitor impatiently, re
ferring to the offer which Field SO far
had not commented ON.
"The devil. man." said Field us he
stood up and threw his discarded slip

he had almost reached clump of
thickly growing hemlock trees and just
in front of these he had spied the horns
of Lightfoot just showing above the
snow He knew right away that Light
foot was lying down for a nap and be-
ing thoughtful he had lightly thumped
the hard snow crust in order to waken
him without frightening. Lightfoot had
at once jumped to his feet and Jumper
had announced that he had come to
make a call.
Now just ina CINE how Jumper had
felt when instead of saying that he was
glad to see him Lightfoot was no sooner
on his feet than an angry glare came
into his great soft eyes, the hair on his
neck stood right up on end. he lowered
his head until the sharp points of those
great horns were pointed straight at
Jumper, or seemed to be anyway, and
with a snort that was full of rage he
sprang forward right toward Jumper.
For just a wee second Jumper was too
of fright he made long leap to one side
and started for another part of the
Green Forest with such jumps that in
less time than it takes to tell about 1t
he would have been quite out of sight
but for something which brought him
up short. What was it? Well, it was
a sound which was half snarl and half
yelp. 1t was the queerest sound you
could imagine to come from Lightfoot
the Deer. No wonder Jumper stopped
and looked back, What he saw took
great load off his mind. Yes, sir. it
certainly did all of that. You see he
thought that his old friend must have
gone quite crazy to treat him like that

STOCKING WISDOM.

Now that black dyes are scarce.
women throughout the country have
been urged to wear white or light
colored stockings. We have been
warned several times of the dearth
of dyes for black stockings, but ap-
parently the supply of black stock
ings is good and the dye seems to be
as good as ever. Probably later in
the season we shall feel more acutely
the effects of the dye famine.
Really there is wisdom in wearing
white or light colored stockings apart
from the reason of the dye scarcity
Now that shoes are worn extra high
one can wear white or light stockings
without having them show, and, in
fact. so familiar have stockings other
than black become to most folk that
there is no reason that we shouldn't
wear them any way. Light stockings.
especially white, wear better on ac-
count of the absence of the chemicals
of the dye. Besides, white stockings
can be washed cleaner. If you must
wear the cheaper sort OF stockings
there is no comparison between the
cheap black stocking and white
stocking at the same price. The white
one at the price is both more durable
and feels better to the skin.
Few persons realize how important
it is to see that stockings fit perfectly.
1t is. in fact. as important as to see
that shoes fit well, foE chiropodists say
that many foot ills result from stock
ings that are too tight or from stock
ings that are creased and wrinkled
Not only must the stocking be of the
right length, but it must also be of
the right width, and this can be Sc
cured only by finding brand of stock
ing that is just of the right proportion
and then sticking to it.
Tall women have most of their
] stocking trouble from breaking at the
knees. Recently, however, progress
sive manufacturer put extra length
stockings on the market for the tall
woman. But when these special hose
cannot be bought the regular sort can
be heightened by sewing a strip Of
muslin on in the shape of an extended
hem.
Much time in darning stockings can
be saved by simply sewing on the
paired numbers that come in woven
tapes especially for the purpose. In
this way one can see at a glance when
the stockings come from the laundry
just which should be paired off.

But now when he looked back he began
to understand.
What Jumper saw was Old Man
Coyote limping away on three legs,
snarling and showing his teeth. but
sinking away just the same. Lightfoot
was tossing his head proudly and shak-
ing his great horns at Old Man Coyote
and prancing back and forth along his
paths and altogether acting as if he
was very much pleased with himself
and afraid of nobody and nothing. No
one would ever in the wide world have
called him timid looking then. He paved
the snow. He tossed it with his horns.
And every time Old Man Coyote turned
to snarl at him he snorted and made
believe that he was going to plunge
right through the deep snow after him.
Little by little Jumper began to under
stand that that first fierce rush which
had so frightened him had not been
meant for him at all.
Il wonder" thought Jumper, IF 1t can
be that Old Man Coyote was trying to
catch me and that Lightfoot saw him
just in time. I'll just have to ask Light
foot. If he has saved my life I want
to know it. I'll never. never forget it."
And then once more he turned and
hoped in the direction Of Lightfoot the
Deer, and this time he did not receive
such queer reception.

ton.

Jumper the Hare and Lightfoot the
Deer are old friends. They have been
friends ever since they can remember.
You see. they both live in and love the
Green Forest, and also in many ways
they are very much alike. Both are
timid. both are gentle, both depend on
their legs to keep them out of danger,
and both live on much the same kind
of food. So when Jumper went over to
call on Lightfoot and inquire how he
was getting on he very naturally ex-
pected that Lightfoot would be glad to
see him.

FEW POPULAR FRENCH GOWNS.

I be most indignant if they knew that
| their best creations were selling for
SIS in America. No one would dare tell
! them that in one shop certain unpopu-
| lar gowns were selling for $40 apiece
| bearing great labels.
| This is the serious risk that all
| American importers take. Through the
| exigency of commercial circumstances
| they must bring over a vast variety of
gowns. and invariably they find that a
| few of these are run to death, while
| others are not touched.
No matter how strongly one may put
| to a woman the fact that her intimate
friend has the same model. she insists
on buying it; and the unreasonable
part of it, that she is invariably angry
when she faces her own gown on the
| figure of her friend. At certain
| dressmakers here three women bought
| the same model of topcoat on the
same day. Each of the three had been
a part of the White House. and 1
couldn't help wondering how they
| would feel when the three appeared in
the same kind of garment.
Model in Champagne and Brown.
To leap from generalities to facts,
there is one attractive gown that has
inveigled many women into buying it.
You see it here. there and everywhere
in New York. The sketch shows it in
detail
The skirt is of brown velvet without
trimming, and the long, Russian tunic
belted at the waist is of champagne
colored chiffon cloth. The hem of this
is made of an immense band of brown
fur which tones in with the color of
the skirt; the upper part of the skirt,
by the way, is also of champagne chif-
fon. so it does not jar with the color
of the tunic. There is also an immense
shoulder collar of fur, and the ma
jority of women wear fur turban with
it, brought into brillancy by a huge
flower of gold tissue Down the front
fastening of the tunic and around the
waist is a belt embroidered with gold
and silver threads.
Concerning the Use of Fur.
The lavish way in which peltry is
placed on this champagne frock sug-
gests the gossip concerning the use of
SO much fur. All the best designers
are getting quite weary of it. 1t is
relief to see garment that has none,
or only INDUCES in slight band of it:
The woman who puts a great deal eff
money into a great deal of fur is not
going to abandon it because certain
classes are tired of it, but it is well for
those who are buying new clothes this
month to seriously ask themselves II
they want to be burdened with much of
it, There is a disposition to lift it off
the hens of garments: even many OF
the new evening wraps have only col
lars and cuffs of it. The best of the
new street suits are severely plain,
sometimes having a position collar OF
sealskin.
