deep enough to interfere very much.
Straight toward the place where Danny
Meadow Mouse lives he made his way.
AS he drew near he became very eau
tious Every few steps he stopped. and
with his ears pricked forward looked
sharply this way and that way on the
snow ahead of him. He knows all
about Danny and his ways.
IF that Crow told the truth, and
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse are
here yet, 1 ought to see some signs of
them pretty quick thought he. "They
ought to be opening up some of the
doorways that lead down to their tun-
nels. Ha! What is that? Do my eyes
deceive me? There is one of their
little. round doorways now or I am
no Wolf"
He walked over to it cautiously and
sniffed softly. His mouth watered

strong. Old Man Coyote backed off a
few steps and crouched down in the
snow. Blacky the Crow, watching
from the top Of the tall tree, under

chuckled more than ever.
"Old Man Coyote is doing his part"
said he. He's doing his part for me
and doesn't know it, 1 hope now he
won't spoil it all by catching Danny
or Nanny Meadow Mouse That would
upset my plans. But if Reddy Fox and

The Evening Headdress.

The cold weather has brought about
a wide chance for the milline-s to make
more money, because it has revived the
civil war fashion of wearing orna-
mental caps in the evening.
These are. worn in the open, not IN
doors. They are made of fur, OF quilted
satin, of tulle lined with satin, and
they are frankly to protect the head.
You know, in England and France
the yery smartest women walk on the
streets in the evening. There are none
so rich that they consider 1t necessary
to obtain a taxi to go to dinner party,
unless the distance is beyond walking.
In America we have not come to that
custom through necessity, but there are
hundreds of women who are adopting
it through patriotisma Therefore. the
warm headdress that protects one from
the bitterness of this winter, in Europe
as well as in America.
The sketch shows one OF black tulle
edged with black fringe and fastened
around the head with broad twisted
ribbon of old rose satin.
In the evening, indoors, 1t is quite
the fashion to ornaEent the hair IN
a barbaric or rather fantastic manner.
This fashion was taboo few years
ago, but in France it has grown to
giant size in three months Sweeping
i plumes in Indian fashion are mounted
in a band of jewels that go low over
the brow. Odd. bird shaped, oriental
caps made of pearls and crystals are
trifles as bows and roses are not per-
mitted, SO don't let any woman whose
taste inclines toward the ineffectual
things think that she has the liberty
to again stick a rose in her hair" 1t
isn't done.

Sammy Jay had been right when he
said that he thought there would be

sifted in among the branches of the big
hemlock tree in which Blacky the
Crow was sleeping. Now and again
he awoke, listened to the whispering
of the flakes as they sifted through
the needles of the trees. hoped the
storm would be over by morning, ana

had just one interest. and that was to
fill his stomach. 1t is hard to admire
anything when your stomach is SO
empty that it feels as if the sides
would fall in any minute. Try it some
time and see. So Blacky shook the
snow from his back. stretched his
wings. gave his feathers a hasty

Danny Meadow Mouse lives.
AS he few he looked sharply for
tracks in the snow, but there were

himself. No, sir: it couldn't have been
better. Old Man Coyote knew better
than to waste time hunting for Danny
Meadow Mouse on such night as last
night. II there had been no storm he
probably would have gone down there
and might have become discouraged.
Now he is almost certain to come this
morning. I hope the snow didn't fill
Danny's little round doorways SO that
he won't get them oDen."
At this thought he hurried a wee
bit and stopped chuckling. But when
he reached the place where Danny
Meadow Mouse lives he saw at once
that Danny already had dug out sew
eral of those little doorways. Blacky's
high spirits returned at once. He
didn't stop, but continued on toward
the Big River. as was his habit every
morning. Glancing over toward the
Old Pasture. he saw a gray form NOV

was moving down toward the Green

ever. for he knew that that gray form

VIGOROUSLY APPLAUDEr

The ideals Of craftsmanship, the char

resentatives. which. he said, recognizes
only wealth of intellect and integrity,
was the theme today of Representative
Martin Dies Of Texas. replying to the
aspersions Of Representative Fuller of
Massachusetts,, contained in a letter to
Speaker Clark. Mr.. Fuller had referred
to the House as "barnacle on the ship
OF state" where the members spent
most of their time sin contests to see
who could spit the farthest.'
Representative Dies was in sarcastic
mood and evoked repeated applause
from both sides of the House. Repre-

republican side, looking furious. and
at one time endeavored to address the

Refers to FulIer's Bills.

Representative Dies introduced into
the Record copies of the only bills which
Representative Fuller has introduced
He discussed one of them to show that
on its face it carried conviction that
the author was not familiar with
methods of statecraft. He said that
Representative Fuller had never made
an effort to have any of his bills re-
ceive consideration after reference to
committees. He asserted that Repre-
sentative Fuller, as a member of the
committee on claims, was not even
known to the chairman of the commit
tee and fellow members of the subcom-
mittee, before which severa2-~bills af-
fecting his own district are awaiting
consideration.
Representative Dies paid tribute to the
personnel of the House as a body. and
said that in his ten years of member
ship he could not remember any one
member that he believed was a CRATER
or untrue to his conception of the high
Office he held. He named members of
the House who, by their legislative ac-
ton and speeches, have impressed upon
the world their appreciation of the high
office they hold.
When he mentioned the name of
Speaker Clark he evoked an unusual
demonstration. He read into the record
an extract of a speech made several
years ago saying that it was his am
bition since a plowboy to sit in a seat
in the Congress of the United States
This utterance was followed by applause
which lasted for several minutes.

A call has gone out from the wal

of the American forces overseas. These
familiar red-bound publications repose
on the book shelves Of almost every per-
