what was in Reddy's mind just as well
as II he had told her. "Old bones don't
rest and recover as quickly as young
bones. and 1 just don't feel equal to
going over there now," said she. THE
truth is. Reddy, 1 am growing old. 1
am going to stay right here and rest.
Perhaps then 1 will feel able to go
hunting tonight You trot along now.
and If you have luck and get more than
stomachful just remember Old Gran
ny and bring her a bite"
There was something in the way
Granny spoke that told Reddy she was
speaking the truth. 1t was the very
first time she ever had admitted that
she was growing old and was no longer
the equal of any fox. Never before
had he noticed how gray she had
grown Reddy felt feeling of shame
creep over him-shame that he had sus-
pected Granny of playing sharp trick.
And this little feeling of shame was
followed instantly by a splendid
thought. He would go out and find
food of some kind and would bring it
straight back to Granny. He had been
taken care of by Granny when he was
little, and now he would repay Granny
for all she had done for him by taking
care of her in her old age.
Go back in the house and lie down.
Granny. said he, kindly. Il am going
to get something, and whatever it may
be you shall have your share" With
this he trotted off toward the Old Pas
ture. and somehow he didn't mind the
ache in his stomach as he had before.

Chinese Ornaments.

The demand for Chinese ornaments for
gowns grows apace. This fashion was
tentatively started last spring. At the
beginning of the new year it has reached
such proportions that the shops are offer
ing the most delectable things in colors
and shape, and the dressmakers are put
ting them on afternoon and evening
frocks No fabric is too rough or too fine
for them In fact, it seems to be part of
the spirit of oriental designing to COM
bine strange contrasts of roughly woven
fabrics with designs of intricate and deli
cate workmanship, or, at other times, TO
use the heaviest, most ponderouS OF orna-
ments on the finest of silks or embroid-
cry.
Green is the favorite color. And this is
probably because of the vogue for jade
and the high favor with which that stone
Is always regarded In the land OF Con-
deep admiration all Chinese have for this
color of spring and the deep sea that has
made green and jade SO popular color
among them.
When worn on frocks these green orna-
ments are usually placed at the waist line.
and sometimes at the hips. and it really
takes quite little daring for designer
boldly to decorate or draw attention to
the hips in this way. Strangely enough.
for the last few generations we have
never thought of placing ornaments thus,
and now that we are first seeing 1t. it
strikes US as amazingly daring.
Then, like the new Russian ornaments,
these Chinese things are used on the front
Of hats. and when they are used thus on
the hat very little other ornamentation
or trimming is used at the same time.
Although China is one of the most civil
lized of countries, and although the art
of China Is older and more refined than
our own. these new Chinese ornaments
make a costume present "semi-barbaric
appearance quite in keeping with the
recent trend in matters of dress.
Almost always these green or other Chi
nese ornaments are used with dull gold
or silver-but always the metal is dull.
Such fine artistic perception has the
merest artisan in China that we never
get from that celestial empire jewelry In
which the tone Of the stone and tone of
the mounting appear to clash.

satin embroidered about the crown in
old blue and gold silk. This is a most
becoming model, suitable for afternoon
or evening wear.
She who is tall may wear this broad
brimmed sailor of ecru straw and green
satin. A band of picot-edged ribbon
winds round the crown and is finished
at one side by two red apples.
The quaint little hgh-crowned affair
is of blue straw and pale blue crepe
Seorgette. For ornament, it uses a
quaint little metal sword of Turkish
traditions, evidently desiring in its own
peculiar way to obtain military effect.
Smart satin sailors will be much worn
during the next few months.

FASHIONS AND FADS.

Green has suddenly stepped into favor.
Cream net waists are in favor again.
The tricorne hat is seen everywhere
The chemise frock still reigns supreme
Shaggy furs are preferred by fashion.
Fine blouses are trimmed with Irish
lace.
Irish crochet lace is In again for fine
lingerie.
Wells in these days are all things to all
women.
The new tissues are woven in oriental
designs.
Collars of white broadcloth are edged
with color.
Summer wash fabrics show gold and
silver threads.
Madeira handkerchiefs are always ir
good style.
Copper is the most used shade for the
slip-over blouse.
If one would be fashionable. wear the

No. sir, Granny Fox isn't as spry as
she used to be. The truth is, Granny
is getting old. She never would admit
1t, and Reddy never had realized 1t
until the day after the great storm
All that night they had hunted in vain
for something to eat. and at daylight
had crept into their house to rest a
while before starting on another hunt
