The GratefuIness of Buster
Bear.

Now, when Buster Bear snatched
away his paw so suddenly that
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse did not
have time to let go of the quill which
he had been trying to pull out of
Busters paw, he actually threw
Whitefoot several feet. You know
Whitefoot is a very little fellow.
OF course, that quill went with
Whitefoot 1t was drawn right out
of Busters paw. Buster squealed
and then he roared and finally nm
ished with deep groWls. You see
that sore place on his paw was very:
very tender, and the pulling out OF
that quill had hurt like everything:
OF course, Buster didn't know what
had happened. He had been asleep,
you remember, so had known nothing
of what Whitefoot had been trying
to do. He thought he must have
accidentally hit the end of that quiz
that that was what had hurt him so
paw over and began to lick it. You
know this is the way all the people
in fur try to cure hurts. Always be
fore Busters tongue had found the
began licking he missed 1t. He
stopped licking and looked sharply
at the sore place. OF course that
little spear was not to be seen.
Buster blinked and looked again.
He couldn't believe that that little
spear was gone.
But it was gone. There wasn't tie
least doubt about that. That little
spear was out of his paw and Buster
knew that now that paw would soon
get well. But if ever there was a
puzzled Bear it was Buster. He was
so puzzled that he felt almost foolish.
How could that quill come out of his
paw and he not know how it was
done? Buster looked this way and
that way and the other way. but all
he saw was very frightened little
Wood Mouse scampering for safety.

Is There a MeatIess Day?

In spite Of the fact that the govern
ment order for a meatless day was re-
called Sand has not been given out
again, the custom Of observing one
meatless or nearly meatless day a
week still persists in most house,
holds. It is decidedly a matter of
convenience not to feel that this day
is specified. Often conditions in our
larders, or market conditions, are
such that it is much more economical
and convenient to have the day vary
from week to week. If there is left
over meat from the day before that
may be turned into a good made dish,
then it is best to put off meatless day
till this is used up, especially in
keep so we'll as in winter.
Moreover, often we find 1t most con-
venient to have meatless day some
time when all the family are not at
home. Perhaps the man of the house
decides to work at his office one even
ing. and hence does not come homo.
II there are children in the house the
mother often finds 1t convenient to
have q meatless supper with them.
and thus eliminate the work of having
z meat dish prepared Just for herself.
6ouetlHeb IL Is most convenient TO
have meatless day the day the cook is
out; some persons naturally choose
Friday. and others find another day q
week when 1t is not convenient to go
to market for the best choice.
The high price of meat is one Of the
things that has made 1t unnecessary
to continue an enforced meatless day.
We are shipping about seventy-f1ve
million tons of meat and meat prod
ucts week now. as against fifteen
million tons in normal times. So you
see there is still need for strict econ
omy. Somehow we mako less plant
about going without things that are
extremely expensive than we do about
things we might have at low price.
The fact that we have always con-
sumed more meat than was really to
our advantage has made 1t possible
for US to cut down enormously and
still have what to most Europeans
would seem an abundance. Accord
Ing to recent statement Of the food
administration, "our consumption is
about three and one-quarter pounds
per person per week, and If we are
to make both ends balance during
short marketing season we must have
still further economy"
Most well managed households can
very easily get along with consider
ably less meat per person than this.

he, and somehow his voice didn't

usual. TT is hard to believe it. but If
you say you did it, I'll have to be-
lieve you. It's the best job you ever
more from fear of me. When you

Bear. No one shall ever say that

And this is how it came about
that great big Buster Bear and timid
little Whitefoot the Wood Mouse ac-
tually became friends.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June 10.--A glimpse at
The smart restaurants in full swing
at 8 o'clock. which Is the sunset hour
these days, Is a good proof that
women continue to wear evening
gowns.
She who thought to economize In
this especial section of her costumery
found that she made mistake. Even
if woman lives In a small town.
there is dressing for the evening. and
If she lives in a big city or has
country house where neighbors are
plentiful, she will find that he. need
fer evening gowns is quite as urgent
as during the winter.
No one Is more surprised at this turn
of affairs than the dTessmakers. They
forecast a summer Of sport clothes,
and instead Of that, most of them are
working on quantities of gowns that
are intended t. be worn after o'clock
at night.
There are many reasons for this
condition in the majority of towns
and cities. and the main reason Is the
war, which has produced thousands OF
soldiers who are entertained when the
hours Of discipline are relaxed.
The Evening Gown in New York.
New York promises to be one Of the
most agreeable summer resorts in the
world from now on. 1t is crowded to
its fullest capacity. Private houses. it
is true, show the green blinds at the
windows, but their inmates are suf-
ficiently near New York to motor in
every day and lunch and dine at pub
lie places.
Roof gardens, theaters and endless
parties are arranged for the enter
;ainment of the thousands Of soldiers
and foreign officers who are in the
city for the summer. 1T has all the
appearance this June of London and
Paris at the same season of the year.
There may come a 1ull in the. dog
days, but there is no evidence OF any
depreciation of interest and diver
sion at this time.
Women have taken the attitude that
they must dress better for the SOL
diers than they have for civilians. In
a way, they are matching up to the
khaki, the blue and geld. the red
stripes and the aviators' capes that
are brought to dine and dance and eat
with them.
There is this difference between the
evening frocks of this summer and
those Of the winter; the former are
higher in the neck and are not made
in a formal and ceremonious way. A
few women wear trains. put the ma

them, slipping them down loosely over

The Maine Central Railroad Co. the
Boston & Maine Railroad and the Ban
COR & Aroostook Railroad co. have all
replied By letter to the communication
Of the Public Utilities Commission ad-
dressed to them jointly under the date
Of Feb ., asking them to allow free
time for the storage of baggage at sta
tons on the so-callcd 'Heatless Mon-
days"
The railroads decline to grant the
concessions requested for various rea-
sons, among them being because it
would require the consent Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission 10
make the concessions applicable TO bag
gage involving interstate traffic: De-
cause the general management of the
federal government and they feel any
initiative in such matters should come
from Washington: and because they
are responsible for the baggage while it
it left at their stations, and Monday
has not been declared a legal holiday.
Maine Central's Reply
The reply of the Maine Central Rail-
road Co. in regard to the free time
on "heatless Mondays through its
second vice president, George S. Hobbs,
is as follows:
Your favor of the 9th inst. addressed
to the various standard guage steam
railroads operating in Maine, with re-
spect TO the matter of free time for
the storage of baggage at railroad sta
tons was duly received. and we note
that the Portland Chamber of Com
merce has made specific requests for
consideration of free storage on Worn
less Mondays"
Since receipt of your letter. we have
been giving investigation to this sub
ject to see what we might fairly do 10
meet the situation. We find very lit
tie baggage being held over on which
storage is collected; for instance. on
Monday of this week there We're only
two pieces at Portland and six at Ban

seem to he Il serious one.
I'VE believe that there should he uni
form rules in the various states VIII

gage held in our baggage rooms. rs
we'll as uniform rates of storage, botf
for insterstate and interstate baggage
We further feel that we will not be
