FOXES AND SHEEP.

Once upon a time, so long ago that
no one even remembers the year, there
were no foxes in Iceland, but plenty
of sheep-nice woolly sheep living Oh
every farm in the country.
It happened that a man from Icelanj
was obliged to go to Finland to spend
an entire winter there in attending to
some business affairs.
Neils was a most attractive young
man and every one liked him. Indeed
so very handsome and attractive was
he that a wicked old witch fell quite
In love with him and wanted to marry
him.
Neils, however, had a sweetheart al
home and had no mind to give her n
for any one, and politely, but firmly.
refused to marry the Finnish witch.
and as soon as springtime came home
he went, in spite of all the entreatieS
of the witch.
OF course she was very, very ugly
and determined to be revenged on
Neils.
Every well, my fine Neils," she said.
shaking her fist after the ship that was
bearing him away. iii see that you
will regret all your days the slight you
have put upon mep'
So the witch made every effort to
think of a plan to punish the insensible
Icelander and at last hit upon a most
ingenious and wicked one.
She took two foxes and repeated so
many charms and incantations over
them that they were completely be-
witched and ready to obey all her COM
mandS.
Taking them down to the seashore
she put them on board ship bound
for Iceland.
"Go.' she ordered, Ito that land In
which cold hearted men live and de
stroy the first living thing you meet
and ever after all others of the same
kindw
Now the cruel witch was sure the
first living things the foxes would meet
would be the owners of the ship wait
ing at the landing place to meet it
coming in, and she intended that the
foxes should destroy all the people on
the island, Neils himself being among
them.
As it CHANGED, however. a sheep that
had strayed away from the fold had
wandered down to the waterside, and
when the bewitched foxes sprang
ashore the sheep was directly in their
path.
So the poor sheep was sacrificed and
the foxes remaining multiplied.
AS for Neils he married his sweet
heart and was very, very happy, but
never again did he leave his own
country.

RIBBON TRIMMINGS.
Ways of Using the New

As trimmings and the materials of
which smart accessories are made of
ribbons have risen to the top notch of
prominence, there seems to be abso
lutely nothing which cannot be ribbon
trimmed
Ribbon harnesses" are being shown
for wear over a lace nightdress to
make it more elaborate. They are put
on separately and snapped in place.
Similar harnesses are also being fash
ioned for wear under thin blouses.
Such a harness makes a plain blouse
much more elaborate and partly con-
ceals a thin camisole which may be
worn beneath it.
A strip Of ribbon is sometimes in
troduced into the chain Of a lavalliere
where 1t comes in contact with the
neck.
Strips of lace alternate with strips
Of ribbon to fashion many attractive
negligees. Boudoir caps made of a
skeleton of ribbons gathered into a
knot of rosebuds at the top and held
together at the bottom by rosebuds
where they overlap are chic.
A classic negligee uses ribbon to off
set the crossed Grecian lines from the
shoulders to waist and to outline the
full panel train which hangs from the
shoulders in back.
Wide metallic and brocade ribbons
are deep enough to form the bodice in
some evening gowns. Soft faille and
grossgrain ribbons in cockade effects
with flying ends are used to hold up
the draperies on evening frocks of soft
materials. Again panniers will be sim
ulated by plaitings of wide ribbon al
lowed to extend outright from the
hips, or deep loops of two toned satin
ribbon will serve to make pannier or
hustle as successfully as the material.
Wide ribbons for muffs are being
tied in many curious ways. Often
bow at the back of the neck makes
fetching finish Where double ribbons
are crossed jeweled slides like those
used on watch chains are used to clasp
the two strands together. Sometimes
a tiny bunch of artificial flowers is
tied in the length of the muff rib
