THE HAPPY DUCKS
THE STORM
BY Farmer Smith

II was Indian summer now and all the
woodland creatures were as happy as could
be as the soft air blew over the hills and
valleys.
Even the birds who go South very early
in the season postponed their trip from
day to day because it was so warm and
comfortable at home
But tonight there was strange hush
in the woods--not a leaf stirred. and over
against the moon a huge black cloud
could could be seen sullenly brooding, as If
trying to decide just where and when to
begin its destructive journey.
The woodland people feel all these
changes in the air, and at once they begin
to get ready for a storm.
II think we will keep close together.
my dears," said Mother Duck. THAT
cloud means business and ! agree with
Father Duck and think there will be
terrible thunder shower or wind storm
later and we will have to go down to the
river and sleep under the big rock
Il am sorry for the birds who have to
live up in the trees at such times as these,
for they are apt to suffer"
"Yes, they are all talking and calling to
each other now as if little anxious"
answered Father Duck. but they know
how to protect themselves and they will
not be taken by surprise"
At midnight the storm came and burst
on the woods in all its fury. The crow
family in their nest, high up in the big
pine tree. watched and waited anxiously
as they swayed back and forth in the
branches. Suddenly they were lifted up in
the arms of the rough north wind, and be-
fore they knew it they were all on the
ground among mass of leaves, broken
bushes and wreckage of all kinds
At first they were too dazed to move,
but soon the baby crows began calling for
their mother.
Forgetting all about herself, Mrs. Crow
started TO find them in the darkness, but
when she tried to walk she discovered
that she could not move
"Oh, David" she called. Something
has happened cannot move and my leg
hurts"
Instantly MIR. Crow came to her side and
very gently raised the injured leg and de-
cided at once that it was broken
1T is too bad, my dear little wife," he
said. But cheer up; l know just where
the children are-they are not hurt and
none Of us is killed-we are better off
than a great many others.
you are perfectly safe right here until
daylight. Do not move I will fly right
over to our good friend, Mr. Duck. for I
know he will come and set your leg He
is natural born doctor and will have
you all right again SOON"
Away he went and soon his loud calls
brought Mr. Duck up from his cozy shell
ter under the big rock, where the storm
had not disturbed him at ALL
We'll, ! am very sorry that you had to
have all this trouble" he said, after hear

S FROM FAMOUS PRIMA DONNA-FASHION S
DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRT,


I ONG, rainy days are responsible Tor
IL many things. You grow tired of the
ordinary amusements, and in desperation
turn to any dlversion, even to darning
stockings or mendng. This was my state
of mind when I decided to make blouse.
went to the sewing room and rum
mayed through all the materials for some-
thing suitable for dress blouse. The only
thing that looked at all promising was
piece Of dark blue crepe dc chine. I had to
change my mind and plan different sort
of blouse.
one of my friends wore a stunning
slip-on blouse of champag gne -colored crepe
meteor, trimmed with bead embroidery !
had examined 1t carefully, and knew ex-
actly how II was made.
Since hadn't pattern. cut and fitted
pieces OF old muslin until | had made
satisfactory guide for my blouse.
basted the pattern to the crepe de chine
and cut the silk exactly like the muslin
Then I basted the front to the back the
only seams being under the arms. Then
made row of tiny vertical tucks across the
shoulders and slashed the center of the
front at the neckine.
After neatly turning back the edges of
the rounded neckline and the slash /
stitching 1t by hand.
The original blouse had long bell
sleeves, but I decided TO make mine
bishop" ! cut them rather full from the
elbows TO the wrists, and gathered them
into tight wristbands. Then I sewed them
into the armholes.
The blouse was now ready for the trim
ming. l happened to have plenty of dark
blue soutache braid of the same tone as the
II oh Ina /
the neckline There were fine worsteds in
soft tones of red, blue, green and gray in
the box of trimmings which I knew would
be far more effective than beads.
Using these colors. embroidered a sim
pie design about the neckline, extending
it below the slash in front | also embrod-
cred turn-back cuffs.
Mother suggested that embroder
epaulettes to cover the shoulder seams. I
liked the idea, and soon had them finished.
One thing called for another. The cpau-
iettes were such an Improvement to the
blouse that I decided to add embroidered
pockets. | made them almost square, trim
ming them with soutache braid as well as
the worsted embroidery. When they were
sewn in place ! made sash girdle of the
crepe dc chine, trimming the ends with en-
broidery and worsted fringe.
The blouse is easily slipped on over the
head, and the slash closed by fastening the
narrow, button-trmmed chemisette in pIace
But. like Rome, it was not made in a day"
I had to sew on it faithfully for three DAYS
Billy Stewart sent me Chow puppy yes
terday. He's exactly like woody Teddy
bear and the cunnngest thing imaginable
Mother isn't overjoyed at this new addition
TO our family, and unless little Ching-Ling
soon wins her good graces he'll have to find
another home.
