Something Is Wrong With
Bobby Coon.

Farmer Browns boy chuckled as he
peered in at Bobby Coon and watched
Bobby show his teeth and listened to
his snarls and growls. 1t was very
plain that Bobby intended to fight for
his life. 1t might oe an entirely hope
less fight. but he would fight just the
same.
Bobby" said Farmers Browns Boy.
~you certainly are a plucky little ras-
cal. know just what you think. You
think that my father and I cut this
tree down Just to get you. and you
think that we and Bowser the Hound
are going to try to kill you. You are
all wrong. Bobby, all wrong. If we
had known that this tree was your
house we wouldn't have cut it down.
No, sir, we wouldn't. And now that we
have found out that it is We are not
going to harm so much - Il hair of
you. I'm going to cut th.j opening a
little larger so that you can get out
easily and then ] am going to hold on
to Bowser and give you chance to
get away. I hope you Know of some
other hollow tree near here to which
you can go. It's a shame. Bobby. that
we didn't know about this. 1t GER

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. March 10.-A few OF the
new French jackets are so short that
they have been nicknamed the bell
boy jacket. Truly they have that
same snug, tight-ftting, youngish ef-
feet tRat we have been accustomed to
see on the impish young boy that usually
takes orders and opens doors.
Thess jackets are cut off at or a
trife iielow the normal waist line. and
they have buttons arranged from
shoulders to waist in a straight row
down the middle. or in a row on each
side. saanting from the shoulders in
ward - the front of the waist.
Otter! there is braiding or chain
stitching by machine, and on one of
the ve,ty best models that Royant has
sent over. there are two narrow breast
pocketa which are also heavily braided.
The sleeves are long and frightened in
at the. wrists with three buttons to
mark the line at the back.

fashioned into straight lines from
shoulder and under arms to the hem.
So ilsistent is this demand for
straight lines in these new jackets that

house pin strips of white cambric from
shoulder to-hem over one of these jack

made correctly. This conformity to

Cheese Not an Adjunct.

From being regarded as q veritable
Imp of indtsestibility. cheese, within
the last two or three decades. has come
to be regarded as Almost wholesome
and valuable food. This changed atti-
tude is due to very good reasons 1t is
not a wfiim; cheese as we used to eat 1t
deserved the i'll we thought Of it, for
we used it as an adjunct, and modern
dietitians tell US that cheese should no
more be regarded as an accessory than
should roast beef or macaroni. In fact,
some cuts of beef would be more suit
able adjunct to meal than cheese. be-
cause they are not so concentrated, SO
full of food value.
All of which is another way of saying
that cheese taken as a garnish to a
piece of mince pie is little short of
poison whereas used as principal
part of a resistance dish of lunch or
supper it is beyond reproach.
The Italian who sits down to his loaf
of bread, his thick piece of cheese and
a possible onion or orange unwittingly
has the right idea. Our Yankee ances-
tors who took it to top off a dinner
already too rich in fats and proteins
did not Hence dyspepsia.
A good rule to make and to keep
when planning cheese dishes. such as
potatoes and macaroni au gratin,
Rolden buck or a cheese omelet, is to
serve at the same meal fruits or succu-
lent vegetables, either as a side dish
or as dessert. BY succulent vegetables,
of course, one means celery, radishes,
tomatoes If it is ever excusable to
eat uncooked cucumbers 1t would be in
connection with cheese dish, because
they have just the right sort of succu-
lence and fibrousness to offset the con-
centration of the cheese.
Also remember in serving cheese not
to be too generous with other highly
concentrated food. BY using less con-
centrated food the requisite amount of
bulk is produced, thus rendering cheese
as harmless as a lamb.
Scientists have estimated that when
eaten with the right combination
cheese compares favorably with other
similar foods in the extent to which it
Is digested. Roughly speaking, 80 per
cent is digested and turned readily into
Drawn and energy.
But remember. cheese and mince pie
at the end of dinner spell trouble.

one knew it but himself, he had been
badly hurt when that tree fell: The
fact is one of Bobby's legs had been
broken, yet in spite of this he meant
to fight. Yes, sir. in spite OF broken

clump of hemlock trees.
Slowly and painfully Bobby climbed
out. That broken leg hurt dreadfully:
1t was one of his front legs, and OF
course he had to hold his paw up. That
meant that he had to walk on three
legs. This was bad enough, but when
he started to climb a tree he couldn't.
With a broken leg there would be no
more climbing for Bobby Coon. 1t was
useless for him to look for another
hollow tree. All he could do was to
look for a hollow log into which he
could crawl. Poor Bobby Coon! What
should he do? What could he do! For
the first time his splendid courage de-

all alone there and that no one saw him.

Spring Fashion Notes.

There are just as many colored hand
kerchiefs as there were last summer.
The day when handkerchiefs were
white has long since passed. and the
day when they are usually of linen or
even of what we used to call washable
materials seems to be fast passing.
For there are many handkerchiefs of
crepe de chine or other of our modern
tub fabrics in silk. They are usually
eolored with white or contrasting bor-
ders.
Bead embroidery and other bead trim
ming has a large place in the summer
fashions. One very attractive gfrdle
that is shown on afternoon frocks OF
very thin crepe and silk fabric is COM
posed Of eight or ten strands OF white
or colored beads. gathered loosely
about the waist and run through an
enameled slide in the front. whence it
hangs in long ends-fringed, of course.
One of the new parasols Is as diminu-
tive, in part, as the conventional car
riage paraso1 that used to be SO much
carried. Tho actual parasol itself
measures no more than twelve or four
teen inches in diameter. But this tiny
parasol is fastened midway of a long
walking stick. much like the kind that
Little Bo-Peep used for a shepherdess'
crook. There is indeed a crook or hook
at one end of the long stick which Is
enameled in some clear. bright color.
