Happy Jack Discovers His
Loss.

Happy Jack Squirrel awoke when
the first Jolly Little Sunbeam slyly
peeped in his doorway. Happy Jack
yawned and stretched and then lay
quiet for a few, minutes and his little
gray head was filled with pleasant
thoughts.
Il haven't thing in the world to

sir, haven't a thing in the world to
worry about. My own storehouse is
filed so that it is fairly running over.
and besides this I have that new
storehouse filled with the supplies
that were Chatterer's. I would like
to see him when he finds out that that
storehouse Of his is empty. OF course,
I wouldn't have taken all IL I hadn't
known that he had other storehouses.
Now let Jack Frost and rough Brother
North Wind come as soon as they
please and do their worst. I've got
enough to eat and enough is plenty"
Happy Jack climbed up to his round
doorway and there he sat for few
moments blinking at the Jolly Little
Sunbeams. Then he jumped out on
the nearest branch and washed his
face and hands. After this he brushed

a deep band Of fur trims the bottom
of the coat, which is sashed with a
girdle of the material trimmed with

A vest Of pale gray lays special stress
on it's one small pocket and the coat

These small hats with their bright

beaver that delights in proving just
how effective two such combinations
can be. A very clever milliner made

toques has a shocked crown Of old
blue velvet with a band of beaver for

giles gayly over one ear.
A touch of the old charm we are SO

certainly achieved a masterpiece with
this gray and gold brocade toque and

crown Of the toque is Of seal, while a
narrow band of old rose finishes the
brim. The bag is lined with rose and
