Jerry Muskrat Wakes Up Just
in Time.

Never in all his life had Jerry Muskrat
been quite SO fiattered az he was by the
admiration of Reddy Fox for his skill as
a. builder Of houses. Listening to the
praise which fairly dripped from Reddy's
smooth tongue, Jerry actually forgot
who was talking. At least he forgot
! that Reddy always had been an enemy.
It was hard to believe that such hand
some looking fellow and such pleasant
spoken fellow could possibly mean any
harm. And he seemed SO much in earn
est, so very much in earnest, when he
said that if only Jerry would come with
Elm and show him how to build a house
he would be tho happiest F'o1 In the
world that Jerry had it on the tip Of his
tongue to say that he would do that
very thing and be glad to.
Jerry actually had padded In to the
! hank and was beginning to climb out as
Reddy said this. And then, as so often
happens with a tongue that is too
smooth, Reddys tongue ufpped HIM up.
If only Re hadn't said that Jerry could
make him the happiest Fox in the
world! That word Fox walked jerry up

THE SEASONS TUNIC BLOUSE
BY ANNE RrrrEN1RousE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, October 1.-Women
have not the least intention Of giving
up the economical wartime fashion Of
separate skirts because the season
is changing.
On every side one sees twists and
turns in the manipulation Of the
wardrobe and the pocketbook, which
will enable a woman to mako q smart
and presentable appearance without
the help of an entirely new ward
robe.
Every one must buy something new
when the season changes. That is not
only a part Of economy, but good
sense. Only the rich can make their
large and expensive wardrobes do
duty over a second season when econ
omy. inclination or caprice demands
| it. The great mass Of women must
buy as they go. They never have the
money to accumulate, and therefore,
they cannot, without detriment to
their appearance. rely on old clothes
| to do duty for new ones.
value Of the Tunic Blouse.
While the average woman is of ne
cessity compelled to buy new suit
as the season changes, the war and

WILLIAM IN HOLLAND AS X
 PRIVATE CITIZEN ONLY

Paris. Nov -(Havas. J. The Dutch legation today published a note containing a declaration by the president of the Netherlands Council of Ministers to the Chamber of De- puties, saying that the formtr Ger man emperor entered Dutch territory after his abdication as private ci- tizen. The note says fthe kind of refuge granted to him is similar to that given all foreign refugees and that the government could not make any exception on account of his form CT position when he asked to be ad- nitted to Dutch territory.
 This does not prevent the govern- ment. says the mott, from carrying out the duty of watching that the former emperor does not permit any abuse of asylum which would render hospitality detrimental to the inter- ests of the country. The note adds that tht Netherlands government does not believe that foreign governments whose subjects so often have had the benefit of Dutch refuge, will refuse to respect national tradition or to rentmber instances when tley them- selves gave hospitality to dethroned monarchs. In addition. the note says that the former emperor has not a single instance left the park of the Amerongen Castle, where he is interned.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Nov. 23.-After a small rise around the opening today, cotton fell off for moderate declines under liquidation over the week end Of the long interest which appeared to have been built up to rather large proportions under the restrictions asalnst short selling which are still ln force. Whatever buying the session produced appeared to come from the ldea that the cold and wet weather prevailing in the belt was damaging to me grade of cotton still in the fields aad moreover. that it would interfere wllh the picking and result in small snhings. The net change for the uay Was decline of 15 to 9 points.
 Technically the market acted rath- GU weak and in floor comment it was called "toppy"

Now York, Nov. 23.-There was re- .,owod realizing or liquidation at the onon;nq of the cotton market this .Iporninp. vpi It seemed that the break of ,uta ,,, yesterday had brought in over n;gbt ,ssJ selling orders and first prices ms mere 23 to50 points lower. New Or ,.ons mo however showed Relative firm ness ness which was supposed to be re- election of the spot situation and sent huving orders here, while the local breaks attracted covering on which nr;ces soon rallied. December sold up from 2S.29 to 2S.75 and January from 97 K to 2S.1O within the first few minutes, or about 2 to 5 points net higher while March recovered from 9S eO to 27.35. Wintry weather was renorted in the Southwest, with snow and freezing temperatures in Texas, which probably helped the rally from the initial decline.
 There were very violent fluctua- tions later in the morning. After the rally to 2S.S2 for December 2S10 for 1ani1ary and 2735 for Macrh, prices hroke sharply under renewed liquida- tion and there also seemed to be southern selling on the decline to 2S.00 for December, 27.40 for January and 26.SO for March. Just before the close however there was sharp de- mand for houses with Liverpool and domestic trade connections and after having shown net losses of sixty to 73 noints the market closed very setady m the basis of 27S0 for aJnuary with the general list 17 to 50 points net lower.
 There were violent fluctuations in the cotton market today, with senti- ment unsettled by reports of confused conditions in the goods trade and re- ports that as yet there has been very little improvement in the demand from domestic spinners. The general list closed very steady at d net decline of F to 50 points.
 The opening was steady at a decline under overnight selling orders. These offerings were soon absorbed, how ever, and there was quick rally dur ing the early trading.
 There was New Orleans buying here and the relative firmness of the New Orleans market was a factor on the recovery while some buying may also have been inspired by the report of wintry weather in the southwest. It was considered too late in the sea son for reports of killing frost to create much bullish sentiment and the volume of buying tapered off at the advance. An Improvement in the de- mand from Liverpool and trade sources caused the closing rallies
 Reports from the goods trade indi- cated unsettled conditions owing to the withdrawal of government demand and the cancellation of contracts. The early advance was encouraged by bull ish spot advices with private wires reporting that ill some sections of the belt owners of spot cotton were hold ing it for 33 cents

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Freezing wea- ther that pointed to larger receipts did a good deal today to force the corn market to a lower level. Prices closed heavy, ? 1-2 to 3 Is net low CT, with December 124 l-2 and Jan uary 126 to 126 Is. Oats lost 5-S to cent. In provisions the result was an advance varying frob , cents to $1.
 Absence of fresh developments ill regard to enlargement of food sup plies for Europe tended also to shake the confidence of bulls. Although reports that the car permit system had been abandoned were denied, sell ing orders seemed to spring from all directions, whereas buying power was lacking
 Oats duplicated the action of corn. Most of the trade was of local character.
 Curtailment of hog receipts put strength into provisions. Moreover, shipments of lard and meats for the week were materially ill excess of the total year ago.

This method of sending Christmas

is available for shipping, and as the
boxes are of uniform size they can
be packed coInpactly and with min
