she didn't return he started out to look
for her. His nose told him In which
direction she had gone. Following his
nose he came to the end Of the little
tunnel nearest the place where the
seeds Nanny liked SO much were. Pok-
ing his head out of the little doorway
at the end of the tunnel Danny looked
over to the patch of weeds which bore
the seeds Nanny likes SO well. There
she was running from one to another.

which turns back ~ the top like the

The combination of plain and checked
materials is exceedingly smart for
sport suits. One of this character seen
in a local shop Is of purple foulard with
a skirt of purple and white plaid. The
belted coat has collar and cuffs of
plaid and big pearl buttons decorate
pockets and belt.
An attractive afternoon suit is of

match the overskirt. White silk
braiding. beautifully done, is an added
feature.
Every one is being military these
days. For those who can't qualify for

up their interest in things military. OF
khaki colored gabardine, this suit is
complete, even to the leather Sam

an English officers belt. The plain,
narrow skirt is entirely in keeping with
the rest of the costume. and heavy tan

1854. and had. what was considered
then, the best route Of the paper.
Ngterritory was located in the West
End of Washington. between 18th and
z2d and e and K streets.
Within my route was the White
House and the residences of w. w.
Cofcoran. George w. Riggs, Senators
Jefferson Davis. Yulee, Slidell and many
other distinguished men from all sections
ef The United States.
I always looked forward with consid.
R7ble interest to New Year day. when
<has route carriers presented their New
Year greetings to their customers and
Seoeived substantial offerings Of q Pc
cuniary nature Id return. My harvest
generally averaged 800 each year. no
one giving the carrier boy less than Is
cents and many giving him a nice lit
tie one-dollar gold coin.
During the same period I carried a
morning route OF the Baltimore Sun.
From q route carrier I graduated to
an Army newsboy. and from July, 1851,

Danny Gets Even With Nanny.

Danny Meadow Mouse didn't say much
in reply to Nanny Meadow Mouse when
she scolded him for being needless and
careless the time Roughleg the Hawk
so nearly caught him. There wasn't
much to say. She was right, and Danny
knew she was right. He knew he de-
served all that she said about him. II
Nanny had stopped with that one seold-
ing Danny wouldn't have minded so
much, but she didn't Every time he
started out she would warn him to be
careful, and to remember his narrow
scape. After awhile it annoyed Danny
1t made him cross.
If thought Danny. II could only
catch her being careless and needless I
guess she would stop preaching to me.
I'd get even with her then
But Nanny is naturally timid little
body. and, like most timid folks. she
seldom does foolish things which may
get her into trouble. So Danny began
to think that he would have to listen
until the end of his days to Nanny's
warnings and reminders of his heed
lessness.
1t really did seem as if Danny never
would have a chance to catch Nanny
doing anything careless or needless and
he had almost given up hope of any
thing of the kind when his chance
came. He had discovered some seeds
of a certain kind of which Nanny was
very fond. They were quite long dis
tance from the nearest of Danny's tun-
nels. 1t would take long time and
lot of hard work to tunnel over to
them. but 1t was a very easy matter to
scamper across the snow to them They
would first make sure that no danger
was in sight. then, while one kept
watch the other would scamper across
get some Of the seeds and then scamper
back. So they would take turns, one
always keeping watch for the other.
Now, Nanny was especially fond of
those seeds. It seemed as if she never
could get enough of them. The more
she had the more she wanted Perhaps
you know just how she felt. Anyway
she was forever teasing Danny to keep
watch while she went for more of those
seeds. Two or three times it happened
that the one on watch saw danger ap-
preaching and gave the alarm. They
agreed that 1t wouldn't be safe for
either one to venture SO far away from
safety unless the other was on watch.
One night. when Mistress Moon was
shining her brightest and the snow
covered Green Meadows were almost as
light as in the daytime, Danny returned

SHIPPING BOARD ATTACKS

This spring fashion presents the eton
jacket, the overskirt and the slim sill
houette. They will play important
parts in the seasons mode. Aside from
these three particulars, modistes are
allowed to do pretty much what they

skirts, while others adhere to simple,
close fitting lines, but the majority be-

overskirt. 1t is the skirt of the hour.
Such a one was seen recently in a
