My Explorations Bring Me Close
To Freedom, Then Deny 1t.

This about completes the evil
dence, l guess" was my satisfied
reflection as l pushed the cover back
into place. And l wonder how
many more of these machine guns
Certeis has concealed in his sub
terranean arsenal, Moreover, I'd
be glad to know whether these keys
hold wine or automatic revolver"
But l couldn't take time to find
out. My road to freedom was still
uncertain as well as extremely dark
AS L continued my tour of the
rooms, / turned on the lights and
tried to fix the map of the place in
my mind. I might want to use the
information some day. Then 1 turn
ed off the lights as l had seen Ger
teis do.
There were many doors cut in
some of the walls, and some of them
were false. 1t took me a long time
to test them all. At last / came
upon a tunnel with rounded top.
1t was without lights but as 1
moved along it feeling my way with
one hand on the wall, 1 realized that
1t was inclined, and that 1 was
climbing upward gradually.
When I finally turned sharp
corner and found the air growing
fresher as l advanced. I knew that
at last 1 was nearing the surface
of the earth.
Suddenly I stumbled in spite of all
my precautions. My feet had hit
short flight of steps. I mounted
them. A faint line of light out
lined a low door before me.

1 would look out, and take my
bearings: / would watch my chance
to escape unobserved. I turned the
iron handle and pushed again.
The door was fastened on the out
side!
sat down on the steps and cried
Back of me 1 could hear autos
honking and horses trotting and
dogs barking. The noise was all
very close to me. I decided that
must be sitting almost on the edge
of q curb with only the width of
the wall between me and the We
hicIes.
investigated my prison walls
with my finger tips. There were
scores of small waterpipes branch
ing from a main stem directly op-

At this discovery. my tears dried
on my cheeks. I took a sudden in

reviewed my recent trip up the
tunnel-it was probably about the
length of Certeis' backyard. I es-
timated the distance from the cor
ner of the tunnel where I had turn
ed to the steps upon which I was
sitting. 1t was about half the
length of Certeis' alley wall.
And sometime in the summer of
1917, DR.. Hamilton Certeis had
brought all the Lorimers into his
garden after dinner one mooniit

pride, the splendid new fountain he

gardens from the public alley. The

woods, and as ! feel tired thought

'Oh; come inside and restv' invited

Mr.. Prickly Hedgehog sorcupine.
Uncle Wiggily and 1 will be glad to
see you. 1t isn't so very late. I can
give you a cup of carrot tea"
''Oh. no. thank you!' said the
prickery- -stickery creature whose
fur was just stuck full OF sharp
quilts like toothpicKs. I'd rather
! stay out here. Fll just lie down on
your new door mat and rest"
"All right" spoke Uncle Wiggily.
Just make yourself right at home.
MIR. Prickly Hedgehog Porcupine.
You are a good friend to me. But l
wish you'd come in
"Oh, no. answered the stickery
chap. II like lots of fresh air. so I'll
just lie down on your new door
mat"
And that's Just what the hedgehog
did. He curled up on the new door
mat and went to sleep to rest him
self. while Uncle Wiggily and Nurse
T, Jane. not knowing a thing about the
bad Skeezicks, put out the light and
went to sleep.
And in the middle of the night the
bad old Skeezicks gave himself a
shiver and a shake and said:
Now I'll just step softly on Uncle
Wiggily's new door mat, SO he can't
hear me. And I'll get in the bunga-
low and I'll bite lot of souse off
his ears. and off Nurse Jsne's. too.
and-Oh, I'll fix them"
Up on the podch went the bad
Skeezicks. He took one step. he took
two steps. he took three steps and
then he stepped on
| No, he didn't step on the soft new
/ door mat. Instead he stepped on
F, the stickery prickery hedgehog por-
cupine. and the Skeezick's paws
were quickly stuck full Of sharp
Quill toothpicks. and the Skeezicks
gave a howl and cried:
"Oh, what's this, What's thisi I
never knew door mat was as sharp
as this" and away he ran through
the woods to get a dentist to pull
the stickers out of his paws.
"Ha! So he took me- for a door
mat: did he?" asked Mr.. Porcupine.
Well. 1t served him right,"
And then Mr.. Hedgehog, having
slept and rested. trotted on his way,
and Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane
weren't hurt bit by the Skeezicks.
And when Mr.. Hedgehog Porcupine
told them what had happened they
thanked him verymuch for saving
them.

New York City.-'Rome wasn't built
in a day." may be a homely old say
ing, but it is at times very good
little line for US to keep before US,
especially when we are apt to criti-
cize what may seem to Us the slow
movements of others. At present this
is a very apt phrase to keep before
us when we are inclined to find fault
because the Paris designers have in
troduced few changes in the fashions
of this spring. the lack of which Is
felt by those in the business world
who are dependent upon these changes
as a means of profit and by the
women who crave something new and
different.
1t must be remembered that the
French designers have been simply
marvellous in the last few years and
have never ceased to create. even
when the enemy was pounding at
their very doors. But human nature
is human nature, and II Is impossible
to be superhuman for all time. When
the armistkce was signed. II was like
a burst of JOY, after which the re-
action began to set in. When the re-
action began to set in, II meant not
only reconstruction OF their business,
but a letting down from the tension
under which they had striven for SO
long to keep their production alive
for the name of the country they
loved 3. 80
They will come back-stronger. with
more wonderful ideas than ever be-
fore II may possibly be that the
change will be noticeable in the things
for fall and maybe not till spring,
but they will recover; we may be quite
sure OF that.
spring is taffeta, and while it Is not
new. 1t is a pleasant revival and makes
excellent frocks for spring. The shops
are showing wonderful assortments of
the various colors of taffeta. The
most attractive. to my way of think
ing. are the beautiful light tones in
the changeable taffetas. intended for
evening gowns and summer frocks.
A visit to the silk department of the
shops will be well worth your while.
Shown today is simple but very
smart frock Of brown taffeta, and. by
the way. brown is to be very good for
fall. This frock has an apron tunic
embroidered in green ribbon. a plas-
tron on the bodice and on the sleeves
OF the same. The rounded neck-line
is also ornamented in like manner.
The hat has a brirn of tan straw.
the under part of which Is faced with
brown taffeta and the crown, too. of
taffeta. Two tan wings are placed on
either side of the crown.

VILLAGES BOBBED BEAUTIES
TELL US HOW THEY GET THAT WAY
Special correspendence to The
wa.hinsten Herald.


Special Correspondence to The
washinston Herald.
New York. April 21.-Bobbed hair
badge Of the newer piQuancy!
Why bobbed hair should suddehly
become Q fad nobody quite knows.
II started. Of course, in the art coll
ony Of Greenwich village. 1t has
rapidly spread uptown from the
proletarian teashops of Washington
Square through the bourgeois soda
pariors Of Upper Broadway to the
aristocratic lairs OF Fifth Avenue.
Joan" she has no other name,
one Of the beauties OF Greenwich
Village. who runs q teashop and
dancing salon. says:
war work and the decline of
leisure has had much to do with the
new fashion, but in my opinion 1t
IL even more directly the result Of
q spreading OF artistic feeling that
revoits against the artifciality of
elaborate hairdressing which dis
guises the natural shape of the head
and often forbids natural movement
and pose.
Consider how natural our frocks
have become in their design. Bobbed
hair is another result Of the same
feeling for the natural"
Why do some women look 40
dreadful when they have had their
hair shorD that they immediately
decide to let it grow again, and
have before them months OF untidI,
ness and discomfort?
III tell you," said Lilly Green
neid, artist and creator OF fashions.
Fne usual reason is that they do
not nave 1t cut short enough. No
woman looks we'll with her hair
done like Buster Brown on the day
oetore he goes to the BARRIERS, and
yet one sees women at theater and
smart restaurants with short hair
lying on their coat collars, and look
ing horribly unkempt and freakish.
The hair must be cut short at the
back even if a long lock is allowed
to curve on each cheek The locks
which grow from the crown must
be left longest of all. SO that they
cover the shorter hair underneath,
and keep the outline of the head
smooth.
Another mistake is to imagine
that a bobbed coiffure. must be a
fuzzy one. 1t should not be any
| thing of the kind. If one can ar
range little ringlets like those of
Mrs. Vernon Castle or Nine. Gaby
Deslys, all well and charming, but
no woman in her sense and past her
sixteenth year should allow herself
to look like a cheap 'Jack-in-the-
box"

Dear me-" cried Nurse Jane Fuzzy
wuzzy, the muskrat lady housekeeper
Of Uncle wiggily's hollow stump
bungalow. as she began sweeping the
porch one morning. I'VE must get a
new door mat. Wiggy"
What for?'' asked the bunny rabbit
gentleman. Isn't the old one good
enough"
II should say not!' spoke Miss
Fuzzy wuzzy. why, it's all worn
out, and when you scrape your paws
on It only half the dirt Is wiped on.
The other half is tracked UP on the
porch, or in the bungalow. and 1t
keeps me-sweeping all the time. We
need a new door mat"
Then we shall have it," said Uncle
wiggily, and he twinkled his pink nose
so fast you could hardly see it blink.
TIL get a new mat right away" said
Uncle wiggily, land maybe I'll have
an adventure at the same time
So away he hoped. over the fields
and through the woods until he came
to the Is and 16-cent store. where
they sold door mats, and there the
bunny rabbit bought a fine big one
! that would eYen clean mud of the
wheels of an automobile.
with the mat rolled up under his
paws Uncle wiggily hoped back
| to his hollow STUMP bungalow. On
the way he looked on every side
for an adventure. but he couldn't
seem to see any.
Never mind" he thought. per
haps one will come to the house
at night"
Reaching his hollow stump
bungalow, Uncle Wiggily put the
new door mat on the front stoop.
That's fnew said Nurse Jane.
Now / won't have so much sweep
ing to do"
Uncle wiggily and Nurse Jane
stood looking at the new door
mat and they never saw. sneaking
along in the woods. and hiding be-
Hind the trees. the bad old Skee-
zicks. But the Skeezicks was there
all the same, and he was saying to
himself:
| "Ah, ha! Uncle wiggily has a
new door mat. It's a nice. fluffy
one. too! Very good, can sneak
up softly by stepping on that. and
get in the bungalow tonight be-
fore he or Nurse Jane can hear me!
All, ha! This time I'll catch the
bunny rabbitw
So it began to get dark, and
Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane
went in the bungalow, and the
Skeezicks hid around outside, watt
ing until 1t was time to go in and
catch Uncle Wiggily.
The bunny and Nurse Jane had
supper, and 1t was nearly time to
go to sleep, when there came a
knock at the door.
Who's there?" asked Uncle
Wiggily.
