The tree trembled more and more,
and by and by ii began to do more
than tremble. With dreadful. very
dreadful sinking of his heart. Bobby
felt his house begin to sway. that is.
move a little from side TO side. A new
fear drove everything else out OF his
head--the fear that his house might
be going TO fall, He couldn't believe
that this could be so. and Yet he had

couldn't get rid OF it. lie had lived in

North Wind used all his strength
against that big chestnut tree. Some
times he had made it tremble ever s"

curled up in his snug bed and laughed
at rough Brother North Wind. He
Just couldn't imagine anything really
happening to his tree.
But something was happening now
There wasn't the smallest doubt about
il. The great old tree shivered and
shook with every blow. At last Bobby
could stand il no longer. He just had
to know what was happening and what
ii all meant. With his teeth chatter

doorway and looked down. Badly
frightened as he was. what he saw
frightened him still more. It frie hit =

Lace Collars Again.

The first lace collar that made its ap-
pearance in the fashion of the present
hour was made of filet: then came Irish
crochet, and now real point de Nenise
and all the other handmade laces, from
Brussels 10 Naples. are used for collars
Of various kinds.
Women have been so given over to
muslin and organdy collars and those
of embroidered net that they were not
quite sure when the lace ones appeared
whether or not they would meet with a
cordial reception. But already the lAce
collar is the thing. The new blouses Of
satin and crepe de chine have these lace
collars. which extend in two panels
down the front, and women who have
put away their old laces for a dozen
years, irritated over the fact that there
was no use for them, are now turning
them over, having them carefully
cleaned. and putting them back at the
neck and wrists.

Poor. poor Bobby Coon, Now that he
was sure that he was really and truly
awake he almost wished that he
hadn't tried to find out. 1t would
have been some little comfort TO have
been able to keep the feeling he had
al first that maybe it was all bad
dream. But now that he knew posi-
lively that he was awake he also knew
that that terrible pounding which at
first had been part of that bad dream
was now just as real as the fact that
he was awake. The fact is he could no
longer doubt that something terrible
was happening TO his house. the big,
hollow chestnut tree he had lived in so
long.
With every blow-and the blows
followed each other so fast that he

NEW RIDING ToGs.

Once 1t was merely matter of being
strictly conventional to be well dressed
for riding. There was just one way of
being well groomed-one possible mode
of hair arrangement. one sort of derby
hat, one kind of stock and one kind
of riding habit. If one had the price
and the figure. that was all.
But now one expresses so much of
personality in riding togs. There are
as many ways of dressing for riding
as there are for walking or dancing.
Still there is right way and a wrong.
Hats for riding may be Of the con-
ventional derby shape still This sort
is especially becoming to the young
face. They fasten under the chin with
rubber band. Then there are high
silk hats, slightly flaring at the top
and narrow as to brm. Three corner
felt hats are also good, and for polo
wear or for the girl who likes ex-
tremes there are delightful little
Jockey hats. round and tight-fitting as
to crown, and brimless save for the
eyepiece at the front. These, too.
fasten under the chin with wide rub
Der band
Every woman who rides has her own
idea about the kind of footgear she
wants to wear. Most conventional are
the plain high riding boots, either in
black or tan. Others are plain save, for
the lacing directly over the instep and
ankle. Other boots are laced all the
way up the front and are fastened just
below the knee and with leather strap
and buckle at the side. Many women
prefer the separate puttee. and these
should always be of the strap variety
and should be worn over stout shoes
with low heels.
The collar line is as important as any
detail when it comes to riding. The
soft folding white stock is excellent, bu>
it is not the easiest thing to tie the
stock. Soft pique collars may be worn
with colored ties. Striped green and
white ties are good and SO are red and
white ties. Solid colors are good, too.
OF course the ties are always of the
four-in-hand style.
Now that almost all women who ride
much ride astride, the riding coat has
come to be almost as important as
the riding habit itself. For the coat
one wears when riding is short-ex-
tending scarcely to the knees. When
one rides in cool weather one needs
some sort of outside coat to protect
one after the heating exercise of rid
ing. Hence the necessity for the rid
ing coat, as it is called. 1t should be
in every way mannish. One good model
in covert cloth is fastened at the front
with four buckles. The buckles are
on the left side and the straps fasten
in the buckles at the right. The coat
extends midway down the calves.
