AXE ONE WITH YOU ON YOUR VACATION

charming when worn with attrac-
tive caps. Very often these capes
are reversible and made OF rubber
lied silk. Cut circular, these pretty
garments fall in soft folds to the
ankles. They are tied together at
the neck with ribbon bows with
long flowing ends. A Quaker collar
Is a neat finish for the neck. but
charming and quaint are the Red
Riding Hoods borrowed from
faiTy-tale days.
To make the hood, cut a large
circle OF material and run a casing
for elastic about an inch from the
edge making a pretty frill to frame
the face. When not in use the hood
may hang loosely at the back Arm
Sits should be cut at a convenient
length and reinforced so that they
will not tear from pressure.
Instead of pockets in the cape,
there is a fascinating little rubber
ized bag. carried on the arm. to hold
accessories. Fashioned IN the shape
of a basket (similar to the new
knitting bags), the bathing bag
may be frightened by a bit OF en-
broidery or perhaps an initial.

skin from burning, make one OF the

Vu TOULD you like TO land on

" sailor who didn't seem
greatly surprised at see
ing such a wonderful sight as an
island suddenly coming up out OF
the sea. as mentioned In the story
before this.
HYes." answered Puss quickly.
"there may be more wonderfuI
sights to see. I certainly saw
strange things beneath the water.
To be sure you did" replied the
old sailor, who seemed to think 1t
not at All strange that q cat should
make a trip to Wonder Land under
the sea. and return safe and sound
But then, you know. Puss had In
his possession many charms which
had been given him during his
travels, and guess they kept him
from harm
Wen, the old sailor steered his
boat toward the green island. where
Puss got out and. after saying
good-by to his. sailor friend, he set
OF to look for new adventures, and
by and by, after . while. he came
to a great wood. where the trees
were as big around as a smoke
stack on an ocean liner. And then
all of a sudden he heard the sound
of a woodman's Az, and the crack
ling of the branches as they fell to
the ground
at must be some giant who u
cutting down such great trees as
these" thought Puss. and he started
of for the place where the sounds
came from, and by and by, after
while he saw a magic az, chopping
away all by itself at one Of the tall
est trees

feet. And when he got up to the

there? A Magic Pickaxe. that all
