OVER TO LOOK AT IT.
had good reason to be cross and he was
cross 1t seemed to him that never in
all his memory had it been so difficult
to find the roots on which he must live
at this season of the year
One day as he shufhed down the Lone
Little Path. grumbling to himself be-
cause there was nobody else to grumble
to, he felt sudden sharp pain in one
of his paws. AT first he thought he had
stepped on a brier. With a growl of dis
gust, he sat down and turned his paw
over to look at it. 1t wasn't a brier that
he saw there. No, sir, it wasn't a brier.
What he saw was one of the little spears
Of Prickly Porky the Porcupine. 1t had
fallen from Prickly Porky's coat as he
had come along that way, and somehow
Buster had stepped on it just right to
drive the point through the skin Of his
foot.
Now Buster Bear knows all about the
little spears of prickly l'orky. 1t is be-
cause of these little spears that Buster,
like all the other people OF the Green
Forest, has n most wholesome respect
for Prickly Porky. He knows that once
one of those little spears has entered the
flesh it is very hard to get 1t out again,
and 1t keeps right on working in deeper
and deeper. So, now, when Buster saw
what 1t was that made that sharp little
pain In his foot he quite lost his temper.
THAT stupid priciily Porky is alto
gether too careless with his miserable
little spears!" growled Buster. If he is
going to drop them around this way, he
ought not to be allowed to live in the
Green Forest. I'd like to know how I'm
going to get this pesky thing out It's
got to be done or I'll have a sore foot for
goodness knows how long
All the time Buster was trying to get
hold of that little spear, which, you
know. we call a quill. He was trying to
get hold of 1t with his teeth to pull it
out, but somehow it always seemed to
slip between his teeth. Every time it
slipped his temper grew Norsea

lines and wrinkles, and they reef
in at the back, giving a pretty
glimpse OF the hair. Hats of the
poke type that are narrow at the
back are especially comfortable for
general wear or travelling.
Fabrics enter largely into the con-
struction of the two hats here shown,
either of which might with little diff
ficulty be fashioned by the home
milliner. The upper hat has soft
crown of satin stitched all around in
heavy silk floss in contrasting
color. The brim may be either of
satin or of soft milan braid. A
narrow band of ribbon circles the hat
and is tied at the back in simple
bow. A cluster of cherries or small
flowers should be used at the front
of the chapeau.

country where heat is taken as a
vital thing and one sufficiently dan
gerous to be avoided: and in these
places actual summer clothes have
ruled from May till October.
Comfortable, Inexpensive Costumer
This wartime summer will see these
clothes spread over the continent. We
should always have had them, for one
has to dip into unknown regions in
America and Canada to find cool sum
mer days.
The slight irritation against over
elaboration of clothes which has been
shown by the public thiS>ePring is the
reason for the launching of all the in
expensive cottons and muslns that
really belong to the American sum-
mer climate.
1t is far easier and less expensive to
evolve a half dozen cotton gowns in
ones own sewing room than to buy a
beaded georgette crepe or silk jer-
sey at high-priced shop.
Warm weather demands full
wardrobe. One can skimp in quantity
in winter. but not when the sun beats
down and the north wind has ceased
to cool.
A joyful shout of welcome should
greet this new kind of summer cos
tumery. new kind that is very.
very old kind. 1t is pleasant to get
into blue and white cottons, pink and
white musiinS and mauve organdies
with white collar and cuffs at a time
when freshness is necessary to COM
fort and coolness is necessary to life.
Striped Cotton Frocks.
The sport clothes of jersey have,
to measurable degree. given way to
inexpensive sport frocks of striped
cotton which are bound with plain
fabric to get a good color scheme.
ion. the gown which is shown in the
sketch
The material is cheap. It is blue
and white striped cotton bound with
plain blue. The skirt is built up of
the two fabrics, and the loose MILDLY
blouse. which is so much in fashion
that it is copied on high priced gowns
in satin, gold tissue, black face and
embroidered taffeta, has a sash to ac-
centuate the waist line.
Watch the evolutions of this sash.
1t is original and worthy of imitation.

disappears in two vertical Sits that
are edged with the striped material,
reappears at the hem of the blouse
and drops nearly to the hem of the
skirt, where the two ends are finished
with black silk fringe.
You will also notice that the sleeves
are straight and short. There is no
getting away from this fashion It
may be unacceptable for the city and
the afternoon, but it holds good for
the country and the morning.

HOUSE ARGUES ON
THE DISTRICT BILL

Discussion OF the District appro-
priaion bill and OF the half aud
half question fiared up in the House
again today when Congressman Byrns
OF Tennessee introduced q resolution
to continue the appropriation act for
the District and for the Department
of Agriculture for another month.
Signs OF impatienee over the delay
in reaching an agreement on the Dis
trict bill manifested themselves. and
1t appeared likely that the House coz
ferees would be forced to Etge way
in their objections to the halt aad
half policy
Urges Action.
Congressman Mondell OF Wyoming
declared the House was wrong In in
sIsting On-legislation- on an appEo-
priation bill and in instructing its
conferees to adhere to the amend
ment TO abolish the half and half.
He urged that the House take action
so that the District bill could become
law.
Mr.. MondelI pointed out that II the
House recedes from its half and half
stand the District bill would become
law tomorrow; the temporary
schools which are needed here could
be provided. and the streets could be
repaired. He called the streets "a
disgrace to the nation"
Byrns Objects.
Congressman Byrns objected 10
bringing up the half-and-haIf question
in connection with the proposed con-
tinuing resolution. Congressman
Cannon urged that the Department OF
Agriculture appropriation be consid-
cred by itself
Congressman Sisson. who Is in
charge OF the District appropriation
bill. spoke at length in attacking the
half-andDhalf plan and defending the
course OF the House conferees.
Chairman Sims. OF the water power
committee, insisted on going ahead
with the weterpower bill and insist
ed on the regular order. This cut Off
the discussion Of the District bill
leaving the continuing resolution in
the air. It Is the understanding.
