Fads of the Season.

Dotted swiss negliges are perhaps
the most satisfactory sort of thin neg
Iiges, for they look even daintier after
they are washed than before. They are
made with trimming of valenciennes
lace, usually. One pretty model is
made with an empire waist line, the
skirt shirred on the waist with frilled
heading.
A pretty little hat of satin has for its
only decoration an opened parasol in
embroidered floss on the side of the
crown.
There are some lovely new rajah or
pongee silk handbags to be carried
when one wears a suit or carries a
handbag of the same material They
are mounted on silver frames and are
made of charming combinations of COL
ored and natural silk.
Ribbons are cleverly used for TRIM
ming blouses of georgette and chiffon.
They are used to cover or mask the
rather ugly line that often shows at
the back of the neck. Often the rib
bons are laced through button-holed
Sits in the fabric, so that the ribbon
shows in places and then disappears.
A little girls frock of sheer white
batiste is made with two pockets in the
skirt Not on the skirt-for they are
not match pockets, but the old-fashion-
ed slit pockets. They are edged at their
opening with a whipping OF colored
thread ------.-

He Makes a Hole in Paddy's

Farmer Browns boy stood on the dam
of Paddy the Beaver. looking down at It
thoughtfully. In one hand was the lit
tie ak which he had brought along
with him because it often is very handy
in the woods. Right below him was
the ice-bound Laughing Brook. He
could hear the water gurgling family
under the ice.
1T seems like a mean thing to do,
and yet it won't do Paddy any real
harm and 1 do want to find out just
how smart Psddy is" said he, talking
to himself. OF course, 1 wouldn't
think of making hole big enough
to let all the water out of Paddys
pond, but only just big enough to make
him think that something has hap
pened."
He climbed down to the Laughing
Brook and then began to chop at Pad

of a job than Farmer Browns boy had
thought it would be. but he is one
of those who. when they start thing,
keep at it until it is finished. AS he
worked his respect for Paddy grew.
1t was much stouter and better dam
than he had had any idea it was.
Sammy Jay. who had silently follow
ed him to Paddy's pond, watched him
work and Sammy was sorely puzzled.
Two or three times he opened his
mouth to scream a. warning and then
closed 1T again. In the first place he
wanted to see what Farmer Browns
boy really was up to. and in the Sec
ond place he knew that his screaming
would do no good And Sammy wasn't
the only one watching Farmer Browns
boy. Old Man Coyote had taken it
into his head to visit Paddy's pond that
day and he had discovered Farmer
Browns boy and Bowser the Hound

generally unbecoming that neckWear
manufacturers regard the mode as an
incentive to turn out ravishingly love-

attached jabots are smart. chinon,

that colored ginghams are promised a
