But the man Jerked his wrist

Then, as he removed it, he added.
''I am glad your pink gown did not

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

no you remember how in the
last story Puss Junior went
airship riding with the
goose captain ana the four and
twenty sailor doVes2 Well, they
went on and on until nightfalls
when up in the sky came the beau
tiful silver moon. But how diff
ferent IL looked, thought Puss Jun
Tor. Not q bit like the moon in Old
Mother Goose Land with the good
natured moon man leaning out Of
his little window.
And then our little hero stood
up on his tip-toes IN his pretty red
topped boots and said this little
poem. And isn't It strange that he
should have said just the kind OF
poetry that belonged to New Mother
Goose Land7
Glitter, glitter. Silver Moon.
In the sky q big balloon!
Tell me where you are all day
Where's the place you hide aWayG
Il is easy for the sun
In the shadows Of the Night
To conceal his golden light
But to me IL does seem queer
How you hide when all II cleari
There's no closet ] can spy
Anywhere up in-the sky.
Then silvery voice replied, and
Il sounded strangely like the man
IN the moons voice, but PuB8
wasn't quite sure:
Some day viii ten you. little
Puss Junior. Perhaps when you
have been in New Mother Goose
Land for a Year, and the only sound
to be heard was the tinkle Of the
stars and the whirr Of the airship's
propeller.
"You had better come into the
cabin" said the captains wife, "for
the dew will be falling soon and you
viii get damp" So Puss followed
her inside where 1t was warm and
cOzy.
You remember. of course, that the
captains wife was a goose and that
the captain was gander and the
four-and-t@enty sailors were little
white doves.
Well, after supper, the doves sang
such a soft lullaby that the cap
tain's wife cUddled up her baby gos-
ling and went sound to sleep. And
pretty soon Puss felt his eyelids
dropping and before long he was in
the land Of dreams, and be thous1t
he had wings and was dying
through the air by the side OF
Goosey Goosey Gander.
And by and by he thought he
came to the castle Of my Lord OF
CaFabas, where his father, the
famous Puss in Boots, was Senes-
schall.
And he new into the window and
sat on the foot OF the bed. But at
first he was afraid to Waken his
old father for fear II would frighten
him to death. But by and by as he
sat there wondering what TO do, he
took the feather from his cap and
tiekied his fathers nose very softly
and then the old gentleman cat
opened his eyes and said: NY dear
son! Have you come home at
last?' And after that Puss Junior
awoke and found himself in the
airship where he had fallen asleep.

Clothes for
School
Bv Rita Stu7vesant,

~ OON schools and colleges will
be opening their doors to
welcome the scholars after a
long vacation. The boarding school
girl will be busy at this time plan
ming her wardrobe for wear during
the coming term. Coats, hats. suits
and frOcks will be needed for the
many events which I'LL the school
days, and even for "hops" and
spreads" that liven the social life
OF the college girl.
: The foundation OF every school
girls wardrobe is a navy blue dress.
A loose chemise frock, easy to slip
on, yets lacking nothing in style, is
3 good choice. A smart model OF
this kind was recently developed in
blue tricotine, and Frightened with
gray worsted embroidery. There
was q two-piece skirt which might
also be worn with separate blouses.
Over this narrow foundation hung a
graceful chemise, falling we'll be-
low the knees and split on either
side to the waist Sprigs OF flowers
done in the gray wool outlined these
aprons, and the embroidery was
also shown on the oval neck and
loose kimono sleeves.
To confne the fullness at the
waist, q Eirdle Of gray ceIluloid
links itself firmly but gently about
the figure and Is tasseled with heavy
silk. This smart model is unusu-
ally practical for the classroom, but
it is equally suitable for street wear.
It combines youthful charm with
style and is doubly serviceRble be-
cause the undersSirt is separate.
For informal affairs, teas or matt
nees. one chooses a light geOrgette
froclz, and hides its beauty from the
curious world under a smart top
coat. A smart model for a "Jeune
EiIle" was Of canary-cOlored georg-
Bite with a distinctive girdle Of
Jade green ribbon. The bodice was
quite plain and made over flesh
satin camisole. The kimono sleeves
we're wrist length and bell-shaped
md finished with a pfcoted edge. A
deep, open neck showing a bit OF
he satin WIS also picoted.
n Two very deep tucks trimmed the
straight full over-tunic. back and
front, while long gathered panels,
very broad, fall gracefully over the
rides, are folded up and fastened
beneath the lower tuck. A plain
barrow skirt Of the georgette is the
Foundation Of this lovely frOclz, and
IN individual note is added with the
narrow ribbon Of jade green
For those who do not find the
canary shade becoming. soft blue,

bilities.

OF objects receding from the OBJ

Eyestrain explains certain fears.

when. we walk on a broad. smooth
sidewalk it makes little difference
just where the feet are placed; a
few inches difference in the length
or width Of our step is unimportanL
But when we are at height
there is a sense that the feet must
be accurately placed: a fraction Of
an inch makes a vast difference.
Hence, there is fear il there is any
distrust Of the eyes. This distrust
may exist only in the subconscious
mind, so fear is then the only Ian
guage in which nature can speak to

The fear OF crossing an open
