Puss i'm Boots
Jr.
BY David Cory.

HUSS JUNIOR found the cir
- Gus a happy sort of life, and
so he decided to travel for
while with the show.
He and the clown became fast
friends, for the clown was a nice
sort of chap. He would sit and
talk to Puss after the show was
over, and on Sundays take long
walks with him in the country.
One Sunday afternoon he said:
Come and sit by me, my little
friend, and 1 will tell you in rhyme
a story about myself when / was
a little chap" So Puss Junior
curled up beside him and he be-
gan:
When I was a little boy
l said to myself
i guess I'll eat the bread and cheese
That's on the pantry shelf.
And then I told my mother
The rats and the mice
Had eaten up her bread and cheese.
Which wasn't very nice.
And SO that evening when I went
To bed l couldn't sleep,
To think that l had told a lie
Just to make me cry and weep.
At last 1 crept out OF my bed
And to my mother went
And told her all about il
In a manner penitent.
And then, besides. had a pain,
An awful stomach ache.
And that you know is quite enough
To keep one wide awake.
And mother said: Indeed it was
A naughty thing to do;
or course you could not sleep be-
cause
Your conscience troubled you"
She kissed me then and tucked
Before she went downstairs.
And for while I lay awake.
Although Id said my prayers.
| couldn't quite make up my mind.
1t kept me still awake
Which hurt the worst, my con-
science
Or my stuffy stomache:
But l know now which IL was"
concluded the clown, patting Puss
on the head with a tender touch.
at was my conscience; for we can't
do wrong, little friend, without be-
ing sorry for ii, and some day |
hope to go back to my dear old
mother and tell her." and he wiped
a tear from his eye and patted Puss
again.

mi everything is frightened
up so splendidly, the thea
ters and restaurants are
crowded every evening with army
and naval officers and well-dressed
women. Stunning evening hats of
the brilliant, dressy kind are again
being seen on Broadway after be-
ing absent for the past two sea-
sons.
Midwinter millinery is indeed
gay. and bright colors are COM
bined In bizarre fashion in some of
the newest hats. Although the
prices are a little high, many wom-
en- are purchasing hat shapes and
trimming them at home. The shops
are Offering some wonderful bar
gains in large. dressy hats-ones
that have been laid away during
the war period
For four dollars one shop show
ed stunning large velvet hat in
the new victory rose shade. To
tone down the brilliant color, a
frill OF imitation black chantilly
lace was laid over the brim. droop-
ing picturesQuely of the edge. The
crown was wound around with
three rows of silver ribbon, tied i'm
tiny bows at the back. Worn with
a black lace evening gown, this
hat was one Of the most admired
1T a weII-known restaurant.
Another hat designed for dinner
wear was of gold. brocaded on a
black background. Remnants OF
this exquisite fabric are offered for
sale on bargain tables at nearly all
the department. stores, and it is
surprising how reasonable hat
lengths may be purchased.
Large hats with graceful brims
and soft crowns make up wonder
fully we'll in the brocade. A vel
vet or satin hat from last season
that one finds becoming might be
recovered or a bucram frame could
be used.
When covering a frame do not
have any seams in the material.
Lay the shape on the brocade and
with plenty Of pins fasten the edge
securely. The under crown might
then be slashed. in several direc-
tions and the material turned under.
The upper part of the brim is COW
cred in a similar way and the
crown depends upon the shape.
A soft crown is generally made
from a circle shirred or plcated to
= ft the head size. while a square
crown is covered in two parts. The
TOP requires an oval piece basted
on. and a bias strip drawn about
the side crown All hats should be
lined after the trimming is sewed
to place
A bFocaded hat of this kind re-
Quires very little trimming as the
material itself is decorative The
merest suggestion of a fur edge
(monkey fur) is smart, and one
may add a pale tea rose like the
fragrance of June in January.
Hats of delicate ciel blue, aIlur-
ing flesh shades or tones Of orchid
have their daintiness emphasized
with bands OF beaver and unusual
French flowers i'm soft pastel
shades. The beaver Is placed
around the top of the crown. while
<hs flowers trail their IoveIiness
over the barren brim. Morning
gIories. pansies and lilies of France
are among the newest from Fash

But aren't you making too much of
a small matter? If you believe
there would be any improperly in
one girls being the others guest
merely because OF the young man.
YOU are quite mistaken. If "B" had
chosen to accept the invitation
there could have been no ground for
