Sammy Jay Brings Lightfoot
Word,

Sammy Jay is one of those who be-
lieve in the wisdom of the old saying:
early to bed and early to rise
Sammy needs no alarm clock to get
him up early in the morning. He is
awake as soon as it is light enough to
see. and wastes no time wishing he
could sleep a little longer. His stom-
ach wouldn't let him If he wanted to-
Sammy always wakes up hungry. In
this he is no different from all his
feathered neighbors.
So the minute Sammy gets his eyes
open he makes his toilet, for Sammy
is very neat. and starts out to hunt
for his breakfast. Long ago Sammy
discovered that there is no safer time
of day to visit the dooryards of those
two-legged creatures called men than
very early in the morning. On this
particular morning he had planned to
fly over to Farmer Browns dooryard,
but at the last minute he changed his
mind. Instead he few over to the
dooryard of another farm. 1t was so
very early in the morning that Sammy
didn't expect to find anybody stirring
so you can guess how surprised he
was when just as he came in sight of
that dooryard he saw the door of the
farmhouse open and a man step out.
Sammy stopped in the top of the
doing up as early as this?" muttered
Sammy. Then he caught sight of
something under the mans arm. He
didn't have to look twice to know
what it was. 1t was gun. Yes, sir,
1t was gun; a terrible gun.
Hal" exclaimed Sammy, and quite
forgot that his stomach was empty.
Nov who can that fellow be after
so early in the morning? l wonder if
he is going over to the Big River after
to the dear Old Brier Patch to look for
Peter Rabbit. or If he is going to the
Old Pasture in search of Reddy Fox,
or if it is Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse he
hopes to kill. I think I'll sit right here
and watch
So Sammy sat in the top Of the tree
and watched the hunter with the ter
rible gun. He saw him head straight
for the Green Forest. IT'S Mr.. and
Mrs: Grouse after all. guess"
where they were I'd go over and warn
them"
But Sammy didn't know just where
they were, and he knew that it might
take him long time to find them, so
he once more began to think of break
fast and then. right then. another
thought popped into his head He
thought of Lightfoot the Deer.
Sammy watched the hunter enter
the Green Forest. then silently fol-
lowed him. From the way the hunter
moved. Sammy decided that he wasn't
thinking of Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse. ITS
Lightfoot the Deer, sure as 1 live"
muttered Sammy. HE ought to be
warned. He certainly ought to be
warned. I know right where he is. l
believe I'll warn him myself
Sammy found Lightfoot right where
he had expected to. Hes coming"
cried Sammy. "A hunter with a ter

[ once heard Of q man who. when
he had a new book, read the title and
then paced up and down in his gar

all that he knew about the subject.
Next he asked himself what else he
wanted to know. Then he read with
the purpose of answering those ques-
lions. That is good plan for any
body who is going to study anything.

TO BRIGHTEN FURS.

The woman who has a fur muff
and neckpiece that have seen sew
eral seasons wear may brighten them
up by the use of yard or two Of
taffeta or satin in blending or match
ing color if she does not feel inclined
to invest in new furs or wants to use
these somewhat worn ones for second
best.
The sketch offers a suggestion for
freshening up an old set of furs. The
muff may be lined with taffeta or
satin to match the generous-sized
bow which adorns it. Any fur scarf
may be cut so as to make.a straight,
high collar, fastening at one side
underneath a f1aring satin or taffeta
bow. Small bits Of fur saved from
cutting large scarf to collar size may

famous method of ornamenting
clothes in Great Britain, fashion
borrowed from Italy.
One associates the floriated de-
signs with the Florentine fashions.
and it is quite evident that the de-
signers who brought out this Italian
ornamentation had gone TO the wealth
of old portraits which have come
down from the renaissance.
Used in Fur.
Lanvin, an artist who showed one
of the best Paris collections, used
the Florentine designs in fur on a
velvet frock. She also used the de-
signs in leather on long tunics or top
coats.
Other dressmakers took up the
idea of cutting pieces of fur and put
ting them on velvet or satin as an
economical method of using up odd
pieces of peltry.
This movement. which was a re-
vival from the Italian renaissance,
brought out a wealth of ideas in sur
face ornamentation, especially for
new to this generation. 1t gave the
designers striking note of novelty
to work up into something expensive
and lovely.
1t is not work for the amateur.
1t Is not the garment for the poor.
The average income does not encom-
pass a coat or a frock covered with
Florentine work; but it is an idea
that can be copied in a small way
by those who are keenly alive to new
movements in dress and who become
weary of a constant repetition of the
same thing in clothes.
As Used on Topcoats.
There are women who prefer these
large designs, brilliantly worked out,
on coats rather than frocks. They
feel, and there is good reason for
feeling, that one becomes tired of an
over gown.
The woman who has many frocks
In her wardrobe. who buys a half
may indulge in a Florentine frock
with large scrolls of squirrel, or
leather. or other applied fabrics, for
she may wear 1t when her inclination
suggests; but the woman who must
depend on one or two gowns to see
choose more severe clothes. In the
end she gains.
In a topcoat, however, one can be
more liberal. If the coat is to take the
place of fur. If it is to be for the
motor or for rainy weather, simpli-
stitute for peltry. the highly orna-
mented coat Of the italian renais-
sance is a lovely thing that no woman
who has the price need resist.
The fur coat is an expensive lux
ury these days. If it is long. it is too
heavy for walking, and il it is short it
does not protect the knees; so be-
cause of these disadvantages women
prefer some other type of coat when
1T must cover the whole frock.
Therefore, velours and velvet have
come into the foreground of fashion
for such coats. On these soft, light
fabrics one can work out brilliant de-
signs. carrying out Lanvin's idea of
applied material against material to
give color and depth.
The sketch shows most orna-
mental coat, which is worn by well
dressed woman over thin frocks to
afternoon occasions of. gayety. It is
of blue velour. very soft and supple.
and lined with Roman gold checked
