Chatterer Finds No Sympathy.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel has a way
Of expressing his feelings with his tall
It is q fact that Chatterers tail is very,
very useful to him as a means OF ex-
preston. Whenever he is angry he
jerks it. Whenever he scolds, and this
is a good part of the time. he jerks it
And often when he Is spying on other
people and does not want to be seen,
and for this reason cannot use his
tongue, he gives expression to his feel
ings by means of that funny little tail.
When he discovered that Sammy Jay
had taken all the stolen beechnuts
which he had hidden in the old nest OF
Blacky the Crow. the rage that filled him
was SO great that he actually chokeo
with 1t. And how he did jerk that tail
OF his, II you had been where you
could have seen nothing but that tail
YOU would have known without oelng

were. You wouldn't have needed 70
hear his voice at all. Every JERK OF
that tail meant temper, and bad tenn

nuts he had stolen from his cousin.

II was the knowledge that this old nest
he had secretly taken so much pains

sammy Jay had found it and he knew
that IL he should repair 1t and use 1t
again as a storehouse Sammy would
sooner or later break into 1t again.

BRITISH HOUSING PROBLEM
IS MET BY PARLIAMENT
Passes q Law out1awing Every
Claim for Rents Above Amounts
Charged August s, 1914.

Supplementary to extensive legisla-
tion already passed in England to cope
with the housing problem. parliament
has decided to deal with the question
Of rising rents by outIawing every
claim for rents above the amount
charged August 8. 1914.
Responding to the demands of the
labor party. parliament passed such a
law. according to information just re-
ceived here. The application is limited
to houses renting up to the equiva-
lent Of $176 year. or approximately
$12 a month. which would correspond.
1t Is stated. to living quarters in the
United States renting from $40 to $50
a month.
The act applies to Great Britain
and Ireland and is to remain In force
for the duration of the war. Various
provisions are made to meet every pos
sible contingency, such as the section
which provides that If houses were not
occupied August 3. 1914. the rent must
not exceed the last amount paid before
that date.
A landlord may not increase the rent
because Of decorations or ordinary re-
pairs The landlord may not legally
ask the tenant to make repairs form
erly done by himself. Neither may the
landlord extract q bonus from the
tenant for renting him a house, and IL
such payment Is made the tenant may
deduct It from the rent.

This didn't suit Chatterer at all. 80 ne
went on. Presently he met Bobby Coon
and started in to tell the story All over
again. Now Bobby had a full stomach
and was on his way home for nap.
Become honest yourself before you
call another q thief" said he shortly
and calmly turned his back.
Lightfoot the Deer simply tossed MS
handsome head when he heard the tale
OF woe.
Ibid you come by those beechnuts
honestly? haven't seen you gather
ing any" said he. and Chattsrer
couldn't fnd word to reply.
AS for Unc' Billy Possum, he Srinned
as only Unc' Billy can. 80
"Brer Chatterer," said he. "Ah done
got mo- respect TO Brer Jay than ever
Ah had befo'. Why don't yo' try being
honest TO awhile yo'self? Yo' won't
find any sympathy lying loose around
these parts"
And Chatterer didn't. He found that
every one thought that he had been
served Just right. and not one had a
word to say against Sammy Jay. So
once more Chatterer went of to sulk
by himself and jerk his poor little tail
In foolish anger. 80.

Are Your Orders Patriotic?

Some women work and plan unceas-
ingly that their household food orders
may come within the spirit and the let
ter of patriotic food suggestions given
out By the food commission and then
when they dine or lunch at q rsstau-
rant In one single meal break svsry

io9us. They :ssm g think that the
ders and that II they order or eat NOT
according to their best food conscience
It 70 the lookout Of the hotel or restau-
rant manaEemant. II the bill Of fare

order what they choose7
Really. OF course, the person who sats
IN restaurants or hotels has quite as
much to say about It AZ any one else
think of carrying their food reforms
Into their own homes that the restau-
rant people have considerable difficulty
IN putting into effect certain wise reso-
lntions that they adopted under
Hoover's. .instrumentality.
One Of the economical reforms was
the use OF granulated sugar in place Of
lump sugar. Now, If you found Eranu-
,a.eo sugar IN place Of cut sugar at q
restaurant for tea or breakfast. would
you object and Insist on having
the sort to which you had heen
accustomed? Another reform was
In eliminating the serving Of bread and
butter before meals. There are many
persons who would insist on having
this little hors d'oeuvre while their
order is preparing in the kitchen.
here are some Of the other sug-
gestions made from time to time BY
MOTEL men with the idea of aiding the
food commission in the food crisis:
That icing and frosting should be elm
mated from cakes: that no canned
vegetables should be used when fresh
ones could be obtained; that there
should be few fried dishes IN order to
economize on butter and lard; that
chicken. ducks, Holsters and 1sh should
be substituted for beef. veal. lamb and
pork wherever possible.
Are you doing your part when you
give your order at restAurants7 The
idea isn't that you should save your
Nown money or avoid expensive dishes;
Holsters, for instance. may be quite
expensive and extra bread and butter
may be of slight cost. Still. because
bread 10 one of the things that the
poor can eat. one of the wheat products.
1t is one of the foods that we should
conserve.
Remember that though food economy

he takes a bronx cocktail every week

He lives alone in one big, comfortable

he doesn't want to go home to get 1t

Beginning November l he still will
not want the stun in his room and he
will not be able to get 1t anywhere
else. SO he has handed his old friend
bronx the pink envelope to take effect
on that date. Today he had a happy
thought. He realized that each of these
mild drinks had cost him Is cents-s0
cents a week. about 1915 a month.
nearly SAT year, for he kept the same
habit on his two-week vacation. This
sum will now be available for other
uses. So he walked to bank. planked
down a fifty-dollar bill for liberty
bond and came away, having paid his

OF Interest TO Women
THE SLEEVELESS BLOUSE FOR WINTER.

!, hung fire. No one had any criticism
to make against 1t. but few women
thought of 1t when buying new clothes.
But Paris. when she starts out upon
a thing, is determined to make of 1t as
much Of a success as art and ingenuity
can demand: SO this autumn she threw
the wafstcoat upon our hands again,
this time giving 1t variety and comfort
and urging it as bit of economy.
One might say that there are two
kinds of waistcoats in high fashion
this winter: one has sleeves, and one
has not. Naturally. the critic will at
once say that waistcoat that has
sleeves is a blouse. So 1t is, but it is
cut on the waistcoat idea. 1t fastens
down the front. 1t has an odd. narrow
little girdle across the front which is
fastened with a buckle or button. and
its sleeves are loose, put into large
armholes and finished with tight, turn
over cuffs at the wrist.
The other type of waistcoat belongs
to the costumery OF men during the
French revolution. Sometimes 1t is
made Of thick. warm velveteen. again
of a fabric that looks like the fustian
OF other canturies. 1t is not in bro
cade or embroidered satin. but it's first
cousins the odd little blouses that are
worn undor coat suits, have adopted
these finer fabrics.
In reality. this long, wide, comfort
able waistcoat is another piece OF fash
lon that has come out of the Paris
houses because of the scarcity Of coal
in France Women are compelled to
wear all the clothing they can put on
their bodies to keep warm in the house
as well as the street
1t was the same during the French
revolution. although we are apt to for
get that our sturdy and courageous
ancestors both in Europe and America
hved their powerful lives in the kind
OF cold that now makes US scream
aloud If we have to endure it.
The Waistcoat for Sport Suits.
America has taken up the idea Of
the waistcoat with a good deal more
enthusiasm than was expected after
its cold reception last winter. She
sees IN 1t a new way of giving color
and warmth to a coat suit, and pos
sibiy she finds 1t lure to the Amer
lean woman to keep to her American
uniform instead Of going into the
French method of buying frocks and
topcoats.
We all admit there is something the
matter with the white wash shirt
waist The shops offer 1t by the thou
sands, but there is a feeling against
II that is not to be denied, and IL one
wears a wash blouse the colorful
waistcoat hides IT. The kind that has
been invented for sport suits or for
morning coat suits of rough material
Is of suede

Age No Bar To Sport Garb Now

Any woman may look as young as
she pleases in summertime when sport
garb is the correct thing for all day
time occasions. White hair Is no bar!
neither is a stout and matronly figure.
Dashing skirts, loose, belted jackets,
alluring shade hats-they are all for all
women; youth or age has nothing to
do with 1t. So long as one can walk
without a cane, climb down from
docks into motorboats, one is eligible
for, any kind Of sport raimient. At
any summer resort It may be observ-
ed that 1t is the woman Of so or there
abouts, who has the gayest and bon
niest Of sport toggery.
The new sweaters of this season
are not confined to one or two colors,
but have three and four. One 1917
rose sweater has rose stripes narrow
~ bordered with lavender on a white
ground, and trimming with plain Law
ender. Blue sweaters have white
orange trimming. Green sweaters may
have stripes bordered with orange,
and have pale yellow-stripes bordered
in darker green and so on.
The most exclusive sport blouses
this year are of fine silk cashmere;
