clawed and bitten. Bowser was feeling
quite himself again. So. when one
morning Farmer Browns Boy came out

and whistled to him. Bowser barked
joyfully and jumped about his master
as If he were quite crazy. You sec 1t
was q long. long time since he had
seen a gun in the hands OF Farmer
Browns Boy. The sight Of 1t recalled
to Bowser the old days when he and
his master had SO often hunted over
the Green Meadows and through the
Green Forest You know there is moth
ing Bowser so loves as q good hunt.
He never had been able to understand
why Farmer Browns Boy had put his
gun away and given up hunting:
Now" thought Bowser. I'VE shall

obeyed.
Through the Old Orchard toward the

Washington shops are alluring with
their holiday gifts. After q glance at
some Of the beautiful things on dis
play one feels that the trusty shop
early" signs are not needed. for I'M
mediately there comes the desire to
buy and keep on buying. With thoughts
busy with the war and fingers busy
with the Red Cross work, there is very
little time or inclination for making
Christmas presents. Realizing this, the
shops are making an extra effort to
attract and are showing novelties and
accessories ranging all the way from
the truly magnificent to the very sim
pie.
Take, for instance, the bead novelties.
Beaded bags and bead ornaments have
again come into their own. and never
have they been more attractive. An
exquisitely beaded bag: shown In the
colors, uses a beaded rose and bead
fringe to enhance its charm. 1t is lined
with brocade silk and fitted with
change purse and mirror. There is
top, the bottom being worked in an
oriental design of rich colors. This
bag is gathered at the top with draw
strings, also beaded. Distinction and
usefulness form double alltance IN an
old-blue bag seen. A beautiful bead
design is worked on velvet and long
bead tassel is finishing touch.
For sheer decorative value. consider
tho new bead ornaments that are be-
ing shown in the shops. Strings of
beads are subtly designed and colored
to bring out the blue of an eye or to
follow the curves Of a youthful neck.
Some are beaded in fiat strips about
half an inch wide and fasten with a
square beaded ornament edged with
bead fringe. Others are ropes of
beads finished with bead tassels. A
beautiful necklace of jade Is of grad

time.
The United States will make
three main classes of war aero
planes:
Training planes, bombing ma
chimes and observation aircraft.
The speedier allied battle planes
will continue to be made almost
entirely by France and Great Brit
ain where this type of machine
has already been perfected.
American automobile plants, in
part, will be utilized to make the
standardized engines for the 3d.
600 aeroplanes the first year.
Furniture factories, typewriter
plants and other mills equipped
for the work will manufacture
the wings and other parts.
These arrangements, already
