Prince Black Ant Hurried With the
Handkerchief.

you mustn't weep. You really mustn't.
No matter how sad it is you mustn't
weep"
They were all weeping now.
Pretty soon along came Prince and
Princess Gray Ant.
"Vhat in the world, or in the Ant
Hill, is all the trouble?' they asked.
''It's so very sad," said Lady Black
Ant.
"What is it that is so sad?" asked
Prince Gray Ant. And then Lady Ant
stopped weeping quite suddenly.
''Pm sure I don't know" she said.
you're weeping and you don't know
what about?" asked Princess Gray Ant
in surprise.
''Does any one know what it's
abOut?" asked Prince Gray Ant.
Lord Black Ant must know" said
Lady Black Ant, because he told me
it was sad so that I wept."
you wept because he said some
thing was sad, and you didn't even stop
to hear what it was" exclaimed Prince
Gray Ant.
81 never heard of anything so alb
surd," said Princess Gray Ant.
81 stopped to hear it," said Lady
Black Ant, 'but he didn't tell me.
Maybe it was too sad" And at the
thought that it might be too sad to
have heard she commenced to weep
again.
"YOu don't know at all now sad it is,
so don't weep, but wait in patience I'M
til he tells YOU" suggested Prince
Gray Ant.
"What were you going to tell her
that was sad?" asked Princess Gray
Ant.
81 was going to tell her of some
thing that l said might make her unhap-
py-I didn't say it was sad though"
said Lord Black Ant.
IF it would make me unhappy, it
would be bound to be sad"
''Not at ALL" said Prince Gray Ant.
Eyes mother, it may be as you
thought" said Prince Black Ant. eve
must wait and see."
81 was going to say" commenced
Lord Black Ant.
Eyes, yes, hurry. hurry, what were
you going to say?" asked Lady Black
Ant.
"Give him a chance. mother" said
Princess Black Ant. Daddy will tell
us soon"
81 was going to say that it was a
very great pity that we couldn't open
our new summer boarding house this
week"
"And what else?" asked Lady Black
Ant
"That was ALL" said Lord Black Ant.
81 thought it was too bad"
"Why can't we?" asked Lady Black
Ant, who hadn't used her handkerchief
in some moments.
Because the hill was knocked down
where the boarding house stood and
all the workers had to hurry away to
save themselves I was afraid it
would make you unhappy to hear
about it."
"Oh no." said Lady Black Ant.
Everything can't go right in business
all the time. Well just start right I'd
work TO build another
And again. Lord Black Ant, don't
make a mountain out of an ant hill.

LITTLE CUBES AND BLOCKS
Smart ChippendaIe FouIards SuppIant-
ing Commonplace Dots and
the Coin Spots.

Chippendale prints in foulard weaves
are among the fashion successes of the
new season, notes fashion writer. In
place of the more commonplace dots
and coin spots one notes dice motifs
little cubes and blocks in white, tan,
flesh and in certain of the approved
high colors on a background of black,
dark blue, brown or gray. These Chip
pendale prints are repeated in geor-
gette crepes and in them one sees also
spreading floral and foliage patterns
AS well as window-pane designs, most
attractive in their simplicity.
Silk tricot is extremely hard to get
with the correct ridge effect which is
a characteristic of this seasons weave.
Not only for sport wear but also in
combination with satin, wool jersey,
serge and foulard is the silk tricot in
request. And right here it may be
mentioned that the coarse weaves are
the ones that have received the in
dorsement of Paris. Indeed, some of
them look more like open silk hand
meshes than like a woven cloth. 1t is
in alliance with the Levantine fOulards
that the loosely knit jersey silks show
off to best advantage. Such foulards
have a heavier twill and more body
than the average silk of that weave.
Silks have advanced in price like
everything else, but it is well to re-
member that they are really eco
nOmicai in their hest qualities Che1D
fabrics have advanced to even a great
err degree than the better grades be-
cause the price of labor is just as great
in connection with these as with SD
perior qualities. AS one authority puts
it, the cheaper materials have tripled
| hardly doubled.

CorseIets That CLinu.

The medieval corselet is strongly
accented by the French houses. and
it is a wonder that more of our shops
do not take it up as a specialized sep
arate garment. The sewing rooms
have already seen its advantage. Some
of the art shops are offering it in
heavy Chinese pongee embroidered
with wool or silk threads. Bronze,
tree green, deep beige and midnight
blue are the colors, and there is enough
embroidery to enliven the surface.
These cOrselets are cut to cling to
the hips and shoulders with a slight
in-curve at the waistline that gives
them graceful folding. They are a
far better and more serviceable gar
ment than the white shirtwaist.

ORDERS
FOR SHELLS

Manchester, Eng, Aug. 7.-(Cor-
respondence Of the Associated Press)
Tw days after the British began their
big drive on the Somme a rush order
for 5000 shells was given one Of the
projectile factories in this district.
So prompt was the order executed
that the shells reached the British
gunners in time to be used in smash
ing the enemy's first counter attack.
This shows how closely the muni-
tion plants are related to the front
and gives an idea Of the remarkable
degree Of cooperation that exists be-
tween the shell-maker at home and
the soldier in the field.
The story Of this dictrict's achiev-
ments in the manufacture Of num-
tions, illustrated by the actual oper-
ations, was unfolded recently to a
party Of allied newspaper men. in
cluding a representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press. which inspected the fac

Of the Ministry Of Munitions.
The party saw a great industrial
district, comprising the counties OF
