Old Hindenburg, whom Teutons praise,

name each day, in lurid tints, appears in all

slay, he desecrates the Sabbath day, and
makes men in the trenches work, who'd
rather be attending kirk. His misdemean-

looked about fearfully for the Giants
castle. -
Where is it?" she whispered to
Mr.. Woodpecker.
There at the other side he whis-
pered back.
Fierce Giant.
Peggy saw great, rough wooden
building, monstrous in size to her now
tiny eyes, but nothing like the giant
castles pictured in her story books. 1t
must be very fierce giant, indeed, to
live in such an ugly unkempt home.
Suddenly a message of alarm ran
among the birds.
THE Giant! He's comingP they
whispered. Shivery thrills ran up and
down Pcggy's back. She hoped the
airplane would fly fast if the Giant
came that way.
The door of the castle opened Out
into the sunlight stepped the tallest.
hereest looking being Peggy had ever
seen. To midget only six inches high
which Peggy was now--he looked
truly terrifying monster. An un-
kempt beard covered his entire face,
his cruel eyes flashing through. Tan
gled hair hung down from beneath an
'odd-shaped hat of skins. His clothes
we're old and ragged Over one arm
was slung gun. From the other
hung several wire cages. Peggy shud-
dered. 1t would be an awful fate to

sive creature. Poor, poor birds that

The Giant of the Woods apparently

was setting out to visit his traps.
Locking the door of his castle he
turned toward the forest. With a
thrill of alarm Peggy saw that he was
heading straight toward her. The
birds shrieked in terror and darted
away panic-stricken. Peggy grasped
the steering handles of the airplane
and shot up to the tops of the trees.
From below there came a frenzied
cry for help. Looking back Peggy
saw that i, came from Mr.. Wodpecker.
In his haste to get away he had blum
dered right into snare and had been
caught fast.
Princess! Princessp he screcheed
in deadly fear. Peggy, trying to con-
quer her own dread, turned back and
swooped down to rescue him.
She was too late. The Giant Of the
Woods had also heard the Woodpeck-
er's screams. He ran forward and
grasped the struggling bird. Peggy,
rushing to the rescue, had just time to
save herself by fitting the airplan up
ward as it threatened to smash into
the Giant. Even as it was; the wing
OF the machine gave the Giant a bang
in the ear and he let out a roar of
rage. Peggy shivered with fear as
she looked down from the rapidly
climbing airplane and saw him dane
ing around below, one hand clutching
his battered ear and the other,
clenched irto huge fist, waving
threateningly in her direction.

Shops

There's new fabric to welcome the
oncoming of summer days. This is
checked organdy. and no one can deny
that it is very attractive and embodies
a deal Of summer atmosphere. One
has visions of vine-clad piazzas, pretty
country homes and lawns and summer
resorts whes they see the gay little
frocks which are fashioned of this
crispy, cool material.
In one of our shops there is an en-
semble OF checked organdy dresses Of
bewitching coquetry. One model
noted in tiny checks, formed of blue
lines on white ground, has that de-
murely, quaint, round neck which is
so charmingly youthful. This, as we'll
as the cuffs of the short kimono-cut
sleeves and the small patch pockets
on the skirt, are finished with wee
double ruffles of the self material and
white organdy. A long, narrow sash
OF blue and gold changeable ribbon
adds an artistic touch. A noteworthy
feature of this frock is the wide hem,
which measures fully Is inches in
depth.
Many, Many Buttons.
Another pretty frock has threads OF
red intermingled with lines Of blue, so
that at first glance your eye is de-
ceived into calling it 1avendar. It is
obvious that special care was given to
the construction, as we'll as the de-
signing of this frock. for it possesses
so many exquisite details. The game
of rich man, poor man, beggar man"
might become quite fascinating one
to whomsoever is fortunate enough to
own this dress, for it actually boasts
as many as l62 ball-shaped Irish
crochet buttons. The collar of this
dress is of white georgette embroider-
ed in Shetland floss.
Flirty little sashes have way of
fascinating you on some of these
frocks, while fresh white collars and
dainty vestees make you long to call
one your very own.
Checked organdy may be bought by
the yard in shades of pink, blue, laven-
dar, yellow and green. 1t is yard in
width and sells for dollar. 1t is very

OF youths illusions, glowing bold
With nothing more that Life can hold
For Love itself with knowing hands
Has wrought its dreams Of magic strands.

And voices hushed-this is the room
Where, underlined, the hours are gray
And, uneventful, drag away.
And, dim and silent, watchful Prayer
Sits by and combs her streaming hair
A room Of space. where overhead
The fronded lace of branches spread;
Where prickly vines and frosted sod
Carpet the living room Of God.
