Danny Is Glad His Tail is
Short.

Many, many times Danny Meadow
Mouse had envied his cousins. White
foot the Woodmouse. Nimble Heels
the Jumping Mouse, and Nibbler the
House Mouse, because of their long
tails. 1t used to seem to him that
Old Mother Nature had been very un-
fair in giving him such a homely'
short. stubby tail. If there was any
one thing he would have had if he
could it would have been long tail
The truth is, Danny used to De
ashamed of that short tail.
But he isn't any more. No sir.
Danny Meadow Mouse wouldn't have
that tail of his any different now II
he could. He has learned one OF
life's great lessons, which is that
those things which sometimes seem
the least TO be desired are the great
est blessings. He learned it that
night when he played hide and seek
with Buster Bear. deep in the Green
Forest
Buster Bear is a very clever fellow.
There are few who use their wits as
Buster uses his. 1t didn't take him
long to realize that never in the world
would he be able to catch Danny
Meadow Mouse by simply chasl'.r
him round and round the trunk OF
that tree. AS soon as lie did realize
il he stopped and sat up to think.
Now while that tree was big it WASH
SO big that Buster couldn't reach
quite half way round it. for Buster
has a long reach. An idea came to
him and his little eyes snapped and
he Srinned wickodiy. TN give that
Mouse a SURPRISE thought he.
So Buster stole softly close up to
the tree on the other side of which
poor little Danny Meadow Mouse
crouched. wondering what could hap
pen next Very softly and carefully
Buster reached around the tree wit
one big paw and brought it down
swiftly. 1t came down right on the
very tip end of Dannys little short
tail. Had that tail been an inch
longer. Danny would have been
caught. AS il was. busters big paw
came down on the tip end only. and
when Danny jumped, as of course he
did. his tail slipped right out from
under With q pitiful little squeak Of
fear Danny darted over to another
tree and whislSed around behi"d that.
Even then. in the midst of his fright.
he was thankful to Old Mother Ma
ture for having given MIN that short
tail. Its sho1tness was all tina. had

About Silk Stockings.

IF you haven't time to take care of
silk stockings-and haven't a maid to
do those things for you-well. then,
the best thing to do is to wear cotton

put them on fresh every time you wear

this. But If YOU do not. then do not
complain about the quality silk stock

Manufacturers of silk stockings say
that the leather stain rots stockings as
much as perspiration. That is another
reason why they should be rinsed out
after wearing and not allowed to lie
for days before they are washed. An
other thing that YOU ought to know is

Then Danny began TO look about

a hiding place, for Buster Bear had
seen where Danny had gone and was
coming to try that same trick over
again.

the fact that there is less production

grass widcwers" and glad of it.
Yvonne reluctantly confessed to
marriages with each of the eight mem
bers of the 39th, and added "she was
not the only French girl guilty of
plural marriages with doughboys OF
that division"
The story of Yvonnes evident will
ingness to marry the entire division
was brought back here recently by
private Elliott Brown, of Atlanta, Ga.
who served in France with the 155th
Infantry of the Goth.
Brown, who did not afll victim
to Yvonne's pretty brown eyes, was
cut walking in Paris with two mem
bGrs of his regiment when another
came along with Yvonne and introduc.
her as his wife.
The introduction proved sad

was his until death do us part"

through his head, but some OF his
friends carried him when they started
to the swamp. Just before reaching

him to his fate while they hid in the
