moticulous which webster defines
as "unduly particular about trivial

sprung upon an unsnspectIng pub
lie. the term "glossy" as describing
persons OF this character, According
TO this definition u glossy" Is any
person who is Just little moro re
fined than is necessary or comfort

the fact that their manners, NOR

are just little too polished. They
venture irst step further along

trlfle more punctllious than anyone
needs to he. They are fun Of super
fluous llttlo nlceties--little elegnn-
cies OF dress and manner and inter

We all tnke or our hats to tho

gentility. one OF tho traits of which

He devoted himself to the study of
physics and apparently made his Nv
ing by the manufacture Of meteoro-
logical Instruments. He wrote sew
eral important articles on thermom-
etry. and invented an improved
hygrometer as well rs tho Fahren-
heit thermometer,
He was yet in his twenties when
he made his first thermometer. Cali
leo had invented n method OF meas
uring hea. by air pressure. and Is
also supposed TO have made the type
OF thermometer wherein alcohol is
sesleo in glass tube. Sir lssac
Newton proposed taking the freeing
point of water us zero, and the tenn
perature OF the human body as IL
degrees. hut Fahrenheit raised this
latter TO 90 degrees. for convenience.

boiling water was the same under

Now before | begin this story I'm
going to tell you right off that it's
going to be about Daddy Fox and his
family. It's been such long time
since we heard anything about him
that | had almost forgotten there
was such a person as Daddy Fox.
And one reason Ia that when he left
him a long time ago he was In
prison. Don't you remember how
the Bunny BOY scouts had locked
him up In the Jail House in Lettuce
villet We'll. do. now that l como
to think Of 1t, so I'm going to tell
you how he got out. You see, when
he didn't come home for two or three
days, Mrs Fox said TO Sly Boots and
Bushy Tail. her two little sons;
Something has happened to your
father, know 1t for he never stays
away like this without telephoninE
or sending a message home. We'd
better so out tonight and look for
him"
So when the big. round. silver
moon was shining in the middle of
the sky and the twinkle. twinkle,
star was peeping into the bedroom
windows Of little boys and girls who
were sound asleep and dreaming of
lollypops and ice cream cones and
other things, Mrs. Fox put on her
bonnet and started out with her two
little foxes And by and by they
came to the JAN House. And while
they were walking around It. smell

for everybody else to get busy. Rus
