Somewhere between a sweater coat
and dressy blouse stands this novel
model made Of bright green jersey

fashioned with a rather long peplum
provided with a belt made of the jer-
sey and has the easy adjustment to
the figure Of a sweater. But its wide
collar, turned back cuffs and fancy
sleeves place 1t in the class Of dressy
blouses. This compromise between
two purposes makes 1t q useful gar
ment for the woman who likes to
spend the day in a garment that will
not be out Of place, whatever its en-

green Of the material.

That same evening Daisy and Ross

was an appeal for Il blessing and for

Old Gold Blouses.

Since the short outside blouse was
put up as a rival to the wash waist
tucked into the skirt there has been
strong rivalry in the way Of new de-
signs. Colors have been accepted with
out question. and, SO far, women have
gone In heavily for blue and dull bur-
gundy red; but now there is a new
blouse Of old gold satin, which is lined
with crepe and has a belt Of japanese
embroidery. This is offered for any
kind Of skirt and can be worn In the
home or under a top coat.
The blouse that Is worn with the tail
under the skirt is no longer smart. The
peplum blouse Is the fashion.

Radium Emanations.

The emanatiOns from radium cannot

haustion Of the material is appreciable,
despite the fact that a stream Of en-.
ergy is constantly passing off from it,
this is Of small consequence. If the

ously, however, they might do consid-
cradle damage; in order to confine
them, therefore, safe has been con-

1T is always colder at night than

winds and the bitter winter days. But
when the sun Is shining and the air
has been warmed up little, and the
night is still, out they come.
WELL said Reddy, Il think 1t is a
good scheme of ours to sleep part Of
the winter. If we slept all of the win
ter we'd get so very stupid. Besides
there is often so much to do. We can
get some of the roots out of the
ground. We can find perhaps some old
chestnuts we have hidden, and which
the naughty Squirrels have not stolen.
And we can have nice feast
Freddy was sitting up in the branch
Of a tree while the other RaccoOns
were sitting around him. They all
looked very wide awake with their long
pointed faces and their bright eyes.
Their faces were black, but their fur
was gray and brown. Reddy had
good deal of red-brown fur in his coat,
so he had always been called Reddy
as a nickname by the other 'CoOns.
Now another Animal that comes
out in the winter when there is
warm time, is the Bear.
BILLY Bear and his family were out
for the first time this winter. They
had been sleeping in their Cave, and
they came forth, climbing around the
rocks and having a feast, too"
81 should think" said Nick, that
the Bears would have enough fur to
keep them warm all through the win
ter, without having to Sleep"
They are warm enough" said
Daddy, 'but 1 suppose they like to
have a good, long nap. Now the Musk
rats are awake in the winter, and they
do not feel the cold. But when they
go to their homes in the banks they al
ways have good dry place to sleep
In, for they all like to be warm. The
Bears are probably never cold. They
never SILVER, but sometimes they
yawn! And it is then that they know
II is time for their winter nap. Then
when warm day comes they feel
more wakeful. 1t is not so easy to |
sleep when it is warm. It's the cold |
weather that makes the animals feel |
like sleeping.
"'Well,' said Billy Bear, it's fine |

Bears. Let's co.
