Jimmy Coon and His Friends
The Adventures Of the Little People Of *a@
the Great Forest
Two Foxes visit Beavertown.

MI. and Mrs. Red Fox were very
hungry, and MI. Red Fox said to Mrs.
Red Fox, Let's go I've to Beaver
town and hunt, tonight" "All right"
for I'm almost starved to death"
So they both started that very
night, for it vas very dark and Just
the best kind Of a night for hunting
Beavers.
They met Bobby Skunk in the
Great Forest, and Bobby Skunk asked
where areryou rascals going to-
night?: I know you are bent on mis-
roost q second, If I was a Farmer!"
And Mr.. and Mrs. Red Fox both
looked very sheepish, and politely
answered together. "Oh. Bobby
Skunk, don't be too hard on two
hunters like us, for we shall not touch
your children"
Well. you better not" snapped
Bobby Skunk.
And MI. and Mrs. Red Fox slipped
silently I've the moss-carpeted and
green-tinted Lanes Of the Great For
est. After a long journey, they
reached Mirror Pond. and it looked
very black and lonely in the very
dark night.
All was silent, except old Mother
Owl. in the top Of the big hemlock
tree, who kept crying out, "Whoo,
Whoo. Whoo!'" And you and I know
'Whoo" meant that two Of the most
dangerous hunters which aver visited
Beavertown were near!
But the Beavers didn't know, for
they heard old Mother Owl calling
out the same words almost every
night, and they thought nothing Of it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Red Fox were very
clever hunters, and they decided to
hide behind two big trees very near
the dam.
You see, they both knew the habits
Of the Woodworking Beavers. They
knew that the Beavers worked at
night; and that usually the Beavers
worked a little while on their dam
at night. And they wished to catch
them on land, or on the dam.

TN By Eloise.
The one-piece frock has certainly
had a long and uninterrupted reign in
the world Of fashion. And the most
astonishing thing is the fact that it is
still in highest favor. 1t may seem a
bit early to make statements, but the
spring is going to see little letup in
the popularity of the one-piece dress.
Serge, tricotine and wool jersey
have been the most popular fabrics
until quite recently, when velvet and
v%elveteen made their appearance.
Blue wa the only color considered in
the early fall and winter, but now
brown is running in close competition.
The fascinating street frock pic
turedls one of the late winter models
from aRussek. It is developed in
brown tricotine. A thoroughly new
and becoming feature is the knotted
sash forming a double waistline. The
heavy braiding on the blouse, skirt
hem, cuffs and sash ends is done with
soutache braid in a matching shade Of
brown. The sever neck line with
out a touch\of color is one Of the
whims of the season.

WITH the WOMEN:ofTODAY
BY EDITH MORTALITY.

New York, n Of the most recent
states to grant women the right of
equal suffrage is to have its first ''as-
semblywoman." Mrs. Ida B. Sam
mics of Cold Springs Harbor, L. l., is
the newly elected legislator from the
second district Of Suffolk, L. I.
Mrs. Sammis has long been inter-
ested in political activities. but before
women were ,,enfranchised in New
York her efforts and interest were
conferred in the Woman's Suffrage
Party. Last summer, however, when
the Republican assemblyman an
nounced his intention of seeking re-
nomination Mrs. Sammis decided that
she would take an active part in poll
tics. She entered into the RAGE as his
opponent and defeated him at tho
primaries.
Her first attempt was a decided
success, for at the election she de-
feated Walter L. Stilwell, the Demo-
cratic nominee, by about 1000 ma
jority. When the assembly convenes
January first Mrs. Sammis will be the
first and only woman to sit in a New
York state assembly.

Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the

Robins Of Chicago, president of the
National Woman's Trade Union
league, and Miss Jane Delano of the
American Red Cross at a recent suf-
frage mass meeting united in paying
tribute to the service of American
women in the war and demanding the
immediate passage by the senate OF
the national oma suffrage amend
ment.
1.-THE history Of American women
during the months of the great war
is the last word, the direct and con-
elusive prooftof their fitness for self
government and for full citizenship In
the business of the nation and Of the
world Mrs. McAdoo said. 1.-THE goal
of political freedom that we have
looked toward to SO long is truly in
sight"
Reviewing the great war service of
the industrial workers, Mrs. Robin
son, said:
Eve will win the federal suffrage
amendment; we will win before the
new year. This passage Of the fed

SERVE CHRISTMAS
BREAKFAST TO GIRLS

The Y. W. c. A. secretaries started
this morning to decorate the %associa-
ton rooms with Christmas green's. A
tree has been put up, and is being
decorated. The first Christmas party
to be given will be that Of the Inter-
national Friendship club girls who
will hold their annual party on Fri
day evening.
The association will have as their
guests at Christmas breakfast, all
girls in the city who are away from
home. The breakfast which is an an
nual affair, will be given on Christmas
morning at $3.50 o'clock, and all girls
who wish to attend are asked to reg
lister BY Monday night. Following the
serving of breakfast the girls will go
to the parlor where the Christmas
tree is, and there they will sing
Christmas songs, and have a regular
Christmas party. The house girls are
going to place gifts on the tree for
friends who will be there, and outside
girls who attend the breakfast may
also put gifts on the tree if they wish
to-.

All was silent, except old Mother Owl,
in the top of the big hemlock tree.

You see, Mr.. and Mrs. Red Fox
didn't dare to swim out into the Pond,
and have a fair battle with the
Beavers in the Water. For. in hat
case, the Beavers could have killed
them. rs
For the Foxes hate water, and they
don't like to get their handsome red
%fur-coats wet. They are great dan
dies, and are "stuck-up" about their
beautiful and costly furs.
So they sneaked up behind the big
trees, very near the dam, to pounce
upon the Beavers when they got out
on the land, to work on the dam. It
looked very bad for the Beavers!
But, then, sometimes Beavers are
smarter than foxes. A good many
foxes had tried to catch Tom and Jer-
ry Beaver, but they were such a
bright pair of twins, that they
couldn't be caught. And neither.
could their Mother and Father and
sisters and brothers.

Work Must Continue.


Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice sees plenty Of work ahead for the
American Red Cross despite the APP
proach Of permanent peace. In this
connection he says:
"At no time since the American
Red Cross began ministering to a war
stricken world has there been more
need for its services than at present.
Providing our soldiers and sailors
with the little comforts that cannot
be supplied by the government, a
work which has always taken pre-
cedence over every other. Red Cross
activity, is as necessary now as before
hostilities ceased. The American peo-
pie are justly proud OF their Red
Cross and the way it has looked after
the comfort and assisted in protecting
the health of the country's fighting
men. They will expect the Red Cross
to continue this care without relaxa-
ton of effort until the last man Il
back at his own f1reside.

Parties for Men.

The A. r. c. Woman's club, Of
Washington, has extended its pro-
gram Of good times" to include the
wounded men from Walter Reed hos
pital. An informal dance opened a
series Of parties in honor Of men TAX
ing the reconstruction courses at the
hospital. The guests of the first par
ty, 80 "arm cases." admitted a unani-
nous curiosity as to the possibility of
manoeuvering a one-armed one-step.
Judging by the hilarity attending the
experiment, the result was perfectly
satisfactory. Supper rivalled dancing
in the mems enthusiasm, and the Mo-
tor Corps contributed their bit by
maintaining transportation service
between the club and the hospital.
