DO you want to come for hop
with me. SUSIE" asked Uncle Wiggiiy
Longears, as he met the Littletail rab-
bit girl in the woods near his hollow
stump bungalow one day.
"Oh, I'd love to. Uncle Wiggily,"
answered Susie
Pretty soon they met Mrs. Spin
Spin. the spider lady. crying over a
big hole torn in her web, so they Of
fered TO help her.
1T is very kind of you" said Mrs
Spin-Spin. but I'm afraid you can
not unless you meet my sister. Mrs
Spun-Spun. She could come over and
help me spin a new web without a
hole"
I'm find her." cried jolly Uncle
Wiggily. and when he had told Mrs.
Spun-Spun what had happened she
crawled right over to her sister, Mrs.
Spin-Spin. and together they mended
the hole in the web.
You have been very kind TO me,
Uncle Wiggily," spoke Mrs. Spin
Spin. Some day hope I may do you
a favor"
Pray do not mention it" said the
rabbit gentleman. with a low and pO-
lite bow of his tall silk hat.
Uncle Wiggily and Susie hoped on
through the woods. and they were
having a nice time. when all OF q
sudden. out from behind a bush jump
ed a bad fox. who grabbed the little
girl rabbit and Uncle Wiggily and
held them tightly in his paws.
I'll take a lot of souse off your
ears and have it for lunch" said the
fox. But first I'll, lie down here and
take little sleep. I'll like your souse
so much the better"
So the fox stretched out and went
to sleep, but he still kept hold of
Susie and Uncle WiggiIy in his paws.
They could not get away. All of a
sudden. along came crawling Mrs
Spin-Spin, the spider lady.
''Hush" she whispered, holding ur
one leg. Don't say a word, Don't
wake up the fox, and I'll soon fix him
so that he can't move. Then you can
easily slip away"
Quickly she began spinning a wei
around the legs of the sleeping fox
taking care not to spin any on Susi.
or Uncle Wiggily. And as Mrs. Spin
Spin was weaving the web along came
her sister, Mrs. Spun-Spun. And ther

At last there is some assurance
that the reign of the wedge-shaped,
toothpick-pointed shoes is near
ing a close. 1t will take some
months for this joyful condition
actually to materialize for leather
prices are still soaring and dealers
must dispose of current stocks,
and the majority of US will be
inclined to make the shoes of
which we are now possessed last
as long as possible notwithstand-
ing the more comfortable styles in
the offing.
Probably, aver these shoe men
with their fingers upon the pulse
of fashion, these toothpick points
and wedge shapes will eventu-
ally resolve themselves into nice,
semi-round toes, but the styles
for autumn yet fail to show any
too strenuous signs of anything
approaching bluntness. And the
square toes, the vision of some
daring prophet are not yet sighted.
Heels will be medium in walk
ing shoes, high rather than low,
however. Caterers to the hand

Perhaps you read it in the paper
the other day. The stsry of feeble
and decrepit old man who asked the
court to force his children 10 support
him.
IF I could work and feed and
cIothe five children, and raise them TO
manhood and womanhOod, think that
the five Of them, among them, should
take care of me now that I am too
old to work any more" he said
pathetcally.
Let us hope for the honor Of human
ity that such cases as this are rare.
No other crime is so black as that
of flial irGratitude. God. Himself. has
pronounced a curse upon il, and woe
betide the man or woman who returns
the love, and tenderness, and self sac
rifice that hedged in his or her child
hood with the niggard crust, and the
grudgingly given shelter, when the
hands that have toiled for him or her
are weak with age. and the shoulders
that have borne so many burdens can
no longer bear their load.
Duty to ones parents is their first
and most sacred obligation. And for
tnelT SINS lneN Sndll DS DllNtilN pun
ished, for as we SOW, We reap, and
they, too. shall see the day when they
are scorned of their own children. and
their sons and daughters wait i'm
patiently for death to rid them Of the
burden of a parents support or 10
divide among them his money.
In all the world there is perhaps no
other figure so pathetic and so for
Iorn as that of a helpless and de-
pendent old man. Sad as is the lot
of the poor old woman. his is sadder
still, for a woman can fit herself in
some sort into another's home better
than a man can. She can nurse the
baby, and do little household chores,
so that she feels that she earns the
food she eats, and the roof that covers
her.
But the old man has no consolation
As the childres grow older they have
greater needs. The girls want pretty

ladies, and they all softly spun their
webs around the fox as he slept
Now. while one cobweb thread IS not
very strong. 1902 threads are very
hard to break. And soon that fox
was fastened as tightly as IL by ropes.
And the bunny rabbit and Susis
hoped away. and when the fox sud
denly awakened and tried 10 get up
to chase them he couldn't. for he was
all tangled up in the CObwchs. And
Susie and Mr.. LongcIrs were soon
safely home.
So this teaches Us that a calico
apron is Sometir.es better than a silk
dress, and if the dOgSICs collar
doesn't slip down around his tail and
make him turn a somersault over the

There is great latitude allowed
this season in the way of neckwear
Most OF the new collars shown in
the shops keep to a rather high
neckline, either in the round or
square shapes. though there are a
number of quite low shapes in the

favored for this time of the year.

CHURCHILL

Winston Churchill has been almost
as versatile as his English namesake.
1t is a far cry from the story of ro-
mantle adventure and the historical
novel to the tale of reforming ten
denotes, political, social and religious.
He has an acute knowledge of what
will interest the great public, and
writes a story about II in such a way
that he becomes a phenomenal best
seller. He has learned the profession
of writing novels by novel-writing, and
he learned to portray people by care
full study of those he wanted to use.
He has acquired a power of charac-
terization that is almost Photographic.
He uses this power to present people
OF great appeal to a large body Of
Americans, for they are the type
known to many. All this shows the
seriousness of the man. That his
political novels, for instance, are
real stories of politics is shown by
the fact that a former President OF
the United States and two former
governors OF Massachusetts, have con-
sented to retell them in shortened
form for the readers of The Washing
ton Herald.
Winston Churchill has written his
best book, so far. in the opinion of
most readers. in 'Coniston;" it por-
trays a vital phase of American
political life; il has had a potent in
fiuence in improving the conduct OF
our public affairs. In Jethro Bass he
has created his greatest character,
as yet-one that will probably take
permanent rank in American litera-
