Merry Little Breezes happened to be
blowing the other way. So, all unsus-
pecting, Reddy drew nearer, and finally
slipped under the fence only little
way from where Farmer Browns Boy
was sitting. Then he disappeared
among the bushes in the Old Pasture.
Now Reddy had come SO near that
was carrying food in his mouth, and
Farmer Browns Boy had guessed right
away just what that meant.
Hes got a den up here in the Old
Pasture. with babies in it." thought
Farmer Browns Boy. Il think I'll look
around a bit"
He jumped down from the bars into
the Old Pasture and started off in the
direction Reddy had taken. Now, the
upper part of the Old Pasture was COW
cred with patches of bushes and young
trees and tangles of brambles, and in
and out among these wound many
paths made by the cows. These paths
these patches of bushes and brambles
and led nowhere in particular. Farmer
Browns Boy followed them because
they offered the easiest walking. For
long time he wandered about aim
lessly without discovering a sign of
Reddy Fox. He was almost ready to
give up and go home when by chance
most hidden by bushes and young trees,
and there right close to the big rock
was a heap of shining sand and a hole
going down right under the big rock
Farmer Browns Boy chuckled. There
wasn't sign of any living thing near,
the bushes near by and he knew what
these meant He had found Reddy's
home: and Reddy certainly had some
babies there.

BEWARE THE MOSQUITO.

Perhaps our first and best defense

scrupulouS use Of mosquito nets at
night" says Glenn Herrick, who pre-
sumably knows as much as there is to
know on the subject of malarial mos
quitoes
Every one who lives in mosquito
regions knows whether those mosqui-
toes are of the malarial sort or not.
knows that the ordinary wire screens
do not keep all mosquitoes out, and
that these curious little insects have
way of wedging their bodies through
meshes much smaller than their girth.
The fact that only three of the sixty
species of mosquitoes to be round In
the United States actually carry ma
laria and that only one carries yellow
fever should not make US careless in
preventing their bite.
OF course, the most effective way of
discriminating mosquitoes is that OF
draining swamps or pouring oil upon
them where they cannot be drained.

cd effective. When mosquitoes come,
or when you go where mosquitoes are,
refrain from sitting outdoors after
dark as carefully as your grandmoth-
ers did who had a strange belief that
there were certain humors in the night

air itself is harmless enough, but not

In getting under it you raise it entirely
from the bottom. In the bottom there
should be reeds or slender Stats so as
to hold it down. And, of course, an
effort should be made to prevent even
one mosquito getting under it with
you when you retire.
Here is a good balm for the mosquito
bite that Prof Herrick is good enough
to give. OF course, it does not mend

Wearing False Furs.

| Long, long ago the tradition was abol-
/ ished that made one feel that real furS
and real jewels were necessary if one
chose each or both. The practice of mil
lionaires in having false stones SUBJ
stituted for their real ones in the same
kind of settings so that the real ones
could be safely left in the bank vault
gave rise to a fashion for false jew
elry that is now accepted by all. 1t Is
a pity that it is SO. Girls who stand
behind food counters, getting 81 week,
are strung with the same kind of jew
elry. apparently. that the wife Of a
wealthy man wears in her box at the
| opera. There has ceased to be any re-
gard for the fitness of wearing jewelry.
| A ten-cent string of pearls is worn with
| a home-knitted sweater on the tennis
| field.
| The latter fashion shows no sign of
abatement, but, fortunately, the wear
| ing of masses of cheap and NANCY furs
on hot days is passed. Undoubtedly,
there will be few who will cling to a
| fashion that has a perverse fascination
| for some but the individual will not in
| fiuence the mass.
! Wherever the climate is sufficiently
cool to warrant furs there they will
be. and for those who desire them the
ldressmakers have designed some rather
| fetching pieces. These are mainly in
| the shape of neck scarfs, for the act of
| trimming clothes with peltry is not
looked upon with favor.

low the knees and at the hip lines are

matter what the weather.
This trick of keeping the hands in
the pockets at all times is noticeable
everywhere.

OF Interest TO Women
FUR NECK PIECES FOR SUMNER.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
NEW YORK. May Elbow weary we
grew of summer peltry last summer!
There was fur on the cheapest gar
ments, on the most ill-cut Jackets, on
the most commonplace hats. Peltry ran
about the land like an epidemic of rats,
and one could almost believe that ro-
that were sold to any one who had a
small coin for pleasure in the purse.
The garment which. was minus fur
last summer took on the beauty and
elegance of distinction. Women of fas-
tidiouS and conservative taste turned
their backs with aversion to the pre-
vailing fashion. Advertisements in the
papers were good evidence of the fact
that what was once considered a lux
ury for which money was boarded for
seasons had become the commonest
purchase that could be made.
None was so poor that they could
not flaunt piece of ermine. of skunk.
of opossum, of kolinsky on their sweat
ers, her hats and her capes for hot sum-
mer afternoons at pleasure resorts.
These were the names, mind you, by
which these furs were designated, but
between the articles and the animal
there was a great gulf fixed.
Well, the epidemic ran it's course until
late autumn, and then the winter was
ushered in, minus peltry. Even those
who had wide bands of good fur on
their topcoats had 1t removed because
they could not bear the sight of it. 1t
came off the hens of Russian blouses,
and it vanished from the shop windows
of the avenues. The woman who owned
a distinguished piece for the neck al
most hesitated to wear it for fear no
one would believe it was real.

Winifred Blacks Article on the
Brides New Hat "a

((T ooK!" said the bride,
show do you like my
new hat?"
She really isn't a
bride at all, she hasn't been one
for a year, but she's the sort of
girl who will seem like a bride and
will make her husband feel like a
bridegroom for the next ten years,
and I'm willing to wager that ev-
eryone takes her for her own
niece's sister fifteen years from
now when her niece has her hair
on the top of her head, and has re-
fused an offer Of marriage.

bride.
We saw tit was black with a
woven brim of rose-colored straw,
and it had rose-colored straw POM
poms, and really wasn't a bad hat
at all.
1t was, in fact, a very nice hat
indeed, something rather smart
about it and knowing. Just the
sort of hat that the widow Of
thirty or thirty-five making her
first plunge into colors would
choose coaxing little widow
with big eyes and a a little
mouth and the calculating DISPOSE
ton that is apt to go with that
combination.
What time she'd have wearing
the rose and black hattie little
widow! Shed do her hair espe-
cially for it and pin it up cunningly
so that a curl would escape-by
accident" and-just a touch of
rouge and the tiniest hint of lip
stain, eyes darkened a triie-no,
that makes her look older-now a
veil with little dots and a beauty
patch-a rose in her belt to match
the rose-colored border of the hat
and of she'd be spreading ruin
and desolation in her path.
Men would dream of the eyes
under that hat and afterward wish
they had never seen them.
Women would see their husbands
watching the widow in the restau-
rant or in the car, and they'd 20
home and try to copy the hat-and
the widow-aSi end by making
their husbands wonder, in a kind
Of miserable daze, what had come
over them. And the widow herself
