after the bunny gentleman.
I'll get you" grOwled the un-
pleasant creature.
Uncle Wiggily ran fast. and
reached the back stoop. where Nurse
Jane had set the custard pudding to
get cool.

Uncle Wiggily
The bunny gentleman was just
STOPPING down to lift the dish OF
pudding when up rushed the Fuzzy
Fox.
Here, That's mine" growled the
bad chap, and he made a grab for
it. just as Uncle Wiggily snatched it
away. But the bunny was not quite
quick enough and the nice bowl of
sweet, sticky, Custard pudding was
Knocked off the stoop. The bowl
broke and the pudding scattered all
over.
"Ha' Now I'll get you" howIed
the fox. and he made a jump for the
bunny. But, just then. Uncle Wig
gily thought Of a way to fool the
fox.
All of a sudden, Uncle Wiggily
gave skip, hop. a jump and a
slide. and the next moment he was
rolling over and over in the leaves
Just where the custard pudding had
scattered when the bowl broke

il belonged. And then a lot Of the

! so, in few seconds you couldn't
see Uncle Wiggily at all. He was
/ in the leaves, but he was so covered
with them. by those that stuck to
him. that he was as well hidden as
though he had been inside a feather
bed.
Dear me" ,barked tn. fox.
where is that Uncle Wiggily rab-
bit? He looked all over. but all he
could see were dried leaves. Uncle
Wiggtly was somewhere in them.
but where? The fox did not know.
And just then the kitchen door
opened and Nurse Jane, with the
broom, banged and whanged the fox
so hard that he was glad to run
away. Then Uncle wiggiIy stood
up. all covered with leaves, and
Nurse Jane didn't know him until
she had washed him off.
Your pudding saved me-" said
the bunny. But you'll have to

did, and it was better than the first.

JAZZ TO RULE
SEASONS HATS
Royal Blue and "Volstead
Red" Prevailing Colors-
Prices to Be Cheaper.

New York, Oct, 26.-Two events
of extreme Importance to the 25,-
100000 newly enfranchised voters
will transpire November J.
The minor event is the knowI-
edge of who the next President will
be.
The major event is the opening
OF the jazziest winter millinery sea-
son the country has ever known.
About 500 buyers from all parts
of the United States will get an
advance peep at the new hat styles
tonight when the Retail Millinery
Association of America holds it's an
nual show.
The male interest in this story
will be disposed of in this para
graph:
Hat prices will average about 80
per cent lower this winter. This
is due largely to the fact that the
new system of four seasons" in
stead of two permits manufacturers
to keep their factories running the
year around, reducing the cost OF
labor. Reduction in the price OF
materials and less trimming are con-
tributing factors.
From now on the story is TOR
ladies only"
The prevailing colors for hats
will be royal blue" described as
a brilliant shade, and 'Nolstead
red" a burning hue.
The principal materials will be
satins, felts and furs. OF the lat
ter the most popular will be slynx
(SOuth American sheep).
Feathers will be used but little.
Trimming will consist mostly of
gold, silver, copper, iron. tin, wood
and cut-glass ornaments, worked
into, beads. marbles. golf balls, or
anges, prunes, and occasionally
flowers.
The predominant shapes will be
turbans. and rolled and hang down
wells will be popular. The most
expe nsiVe hat on display tonight
will be a Spanish turban in brown
panne velvet with a Spanish comb
of real tortoise shells. 1t will sell
for s675.
The cheapest hat will be a white
antique satin draped turban, cost
ing S12.
The most striking hat is one OF
the few large models. 1t is a huge
affair of black velvet, caught up on
one side with a big red rose, its
only ornament. This is known as
"the vamp."

THE MOTHER LOVE THAT
CURSES.
Hn DOROTHY DIX.

A rich woman has just been con-
victed of having assisted her two
sons in evading the draft during
the war. She pleads in extenuation
Of her crime that she loved her chill
dren so well that she could not bear
the thought Of their having to un-
dergo the hsrdships of a soldiers
life, and risk the danger OF being
killed fighting to defend their coun-
try.
A great many other mothers are
going to make this same excuse
when they stand before the judg-
ment bar. and are called upon TO
render an account of their steward
ship OF their children, and why. out
Of the fine material that was put
into their hands. they turned out
men and women who were thieves
and gluttons. and parasites, and
loafers.
The mothers will say that they
sinned through love, that their ten
derness was so great that ii made
them weak, and they could not
bear to make their children do any
thing they did not want to do, or
deny them anything that they want
ed to do, and so they fostered every
evil impulse in their offspring, and
let them plunge unchecked down
the road to ruin.
This is a most familiar type Of
mother to US all. A doctor was
telling me about such an one the
other day. He said that she had a
desperately sick child whose life
depended upon its conforming alb
solutely TO the treatment he was
giving it. But the child refused 10
take the medicine because it was
bitter. II fretted and cried contin-
ually because il had to be kept in a
certain position, and the mother let
it move at will.
But can't make Johnnie do
anything he doesn't want to do

loved him so couldn't bear to

4 RAIL TICKET AGENTS
CONFESS TO 'SCALPNC'

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-An in
eenious method of scalping tickets,
which probably cost the Southern
Pacific Company thousands of dol
lars, was revealed in the confes-
sions of four young men after their
arrest.
The culprits have been in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific for
the past four months following
their release from the navy
According to the confessions, the
young men would purchase east
bound tickets from passengers who,
at the last moment. were unable to
make the trip.
The tickets. according to the con-
fessions, were bought at greatly
reduced rates and resold at scalp

What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall
AMANDA.

Though not generally considered
romantic name. Amanda has, by
heritage, the right to be considered
the essence of sentiment The
name signifies worthy to be be-
loved and is one of the feminine
names derived from the Latin verb
'amo," to love. There are many
modern derivatives of the little
Latin word, especially in all the
Southern languages OF Western Eu-
rope.
The Gallic Christians found pleas
ing religious significance in en-
ploying amo as a root OF names
given to their children. Amabilis
Qovable): AmatOr NOver), Amata
Qoved); and Amandus (about 10 I've
loTed) are successive steps in the
evolution of Amanda. The exist
ence Of St. Amand caused the last
named to survive and find popu-
larity among tine religiously in
Clined. Amanda was considered
one of the complimentary noms de
plume of the eighteenth century.
ana Amandine became a favorite
fanciful French version
Amanda has always been popular
in Sweden. The Swedish poet, Eric
Stagnelius. is the author of a
charming lyric to her:
Where sun flower are beaming.
Amanda's charms appear;
Her beauty's rays are streaming
Round all this earthly sphere;
The breeze when lightly blowing
The rose that scents the grove
The vine, when brightly glowing
All tell of her I love"
Amanda's talismanic stone is the
amethyst, which has a SOLDERING et-
feet upon its wearer. 1t strengthens
her self-control, quiCkens her intel
ligence and preserves her from evil
To dream of an amethyst signifies
freedom from harm. Saturday is
Amanda's lucky day and 4 her lucky
number. The primrose. signifying
youthfulness, is her flower
