Red Wits and Black Wits.

Just which to pick Id hardly know.
There is no greater hatterer in
the Green Forest or on the Green
Meadows than is BIacky the Crow
when he hopes to gain something
thereby. His tongue is so smooth
that it is a wonder it does not drip
oil. lie is crafty. is Blaeky. But
these same things are true of Reddy
to accuse Reddy Fox of lacking in
sharp wits. Mistakes he makes. as
everybody does, but Reddy's wits are
always keen and active.
Now, Reddy knew perfectly well
that Blaeky the Grow wanted some
thing of him and this was why he
was saying such pleasant things.
Blacky tn Crow knew that Reddy
! knew this thing and that if he would
| make use of Reddy as he hoped to
he must contrive to keep Reddy
wholly in the dark as to what he
wanted done.
So as they sat there, Reddy Fox

and Blaeky the Grow in the top of
a little tree above BIacky's head,
they were playing a sort of game. 1t

FASHIONS

The tunic or costume blouse should
have place in the wardrobe of every
well dressed woman because it is
really an aristecrat in its class. The
majority of American women outfit
themselves in the ready te-wear
shops. and manufacturers who make
inexpensive blouses are not taking

Jackets Show Blouses.

The short little jacket that gives the
effect of a one-pieee fFock, and the
half long coat~that. BIAS wide e&-
panse of opening in front, are both
designed by tailors to show shirt
waists We may call these garments
by whatever name we please. Waist
coat, cuirass, jumper. bodice, are vari-
Gus names for the blouse that now
protrudes between the unbuttoned
fronts of jackets, drops beneath them
or rises above them.
The strong inclination is to use wha
the French call a waisteoat-blouse. or
the long coats, but these are merely
skeleton blouses made of brilliant ma
terials. They are half low in the
neck, have short sleeves that carry
shields, and are dropped below the
belt line of the skirt. BY the way.
nearly every blouse is worn on the
outside, for the French fashion won
out and sadly eclipsed the American
way.
With short jackets which do not
open in front, the designers have
brought out extremely thin bleuses
which show at the neck and the fore
arms. Perhaps this is the reason the
short Jacket has gained quite fash
ionable identity. 1t was launched in
January by a we'll known designer
of suits, and the manneeujn who wore
it presented composite figure of an
Italian aviator. an Elton sehoolboy
and an old-fashioned girl.
It has been said by sculptors that
very few women should permit them
selves to wear any type of Eton
jacket, because of the manner in which
it accentuatss the hips and makes
them appear out of proportion to the
body above the waist; but this cFiti
cism. while it held good when the
Eton Jacket was in fashion many
years ago, has lost its sting today,
when the vast majority of women are

Today it is quite possible, through
the ingenuity of designers, TO wear
a little jacket that gives the effect
OF q ope-piece froak. There is a
tendency on the part of women to go
away from the path recently fol-
lowed, which 10 to eliminate any kind

approaches. the desire for whole

the thoughts of women. They be-
lieye they cannot stand the jacket
at all hours of the day. and II they
wish to remove il, they should not
be in the position of the woman who
forgot that there was nothing unuer
her Jacket and tore it off at a lunch
party in a frenzy of discomfort!
The efforts of the shirt makers nave
been so strenuous during the last few
weeks that they have succeeded IN
persuading the tailors to introduce
blouses with their suits SO that wom-

which America made famous.
