Sammie Littletail. the boy rabbit,
came home from the hollow stump
school one day in a great hurry. Un-
der his paw he carried a box.
What do you think the lady
mouse teacher wants me to do for
home work." cried Sammie.
well. 1 think she wants you to
study your lessons, doesn't shey'
asked the rabbit gentleman.
"She wants that" Sammie an

else, too. She gave US each a box
of paints. and we have to paint
something?"
why. 1 should call that real jol-
ly," spoke Uncle wiggily. II used
to know how to paint, when I was
small rabbit"
I'm glad of that" said Sammie.
"Wi1l you help me, Uncle wiggily2'
The rabbit gentleman said he
would. and then he looked at Sam
mics paints.
Uncle Wiggily showed Sammie
how to mix the paints with water
and a brush and then how to spread
the colors on big sheets of white
paper to make a flower design, or
any picture the lady mouse teacher
wanted.
Now you have started me right
I'll paint a picture for the lady
mouse teacher. I'll paint IL now,
and then 1 can go out to play. It's
more fun to play after your home
work is DONE" said Sammie.
Uncle Wiggily thought so, too.
What does Mrs. Littletail want
! from the store?" asked Uncle Wig
gily, as he put on his tall silk hat
and his fur coat.
"a loaf of carrot bread for sup
per-" answered Nurse Jane.
"T'll get it," said Uncle wiggily
and away he. hoped.
After a while Nurse Jane and Mrs
| Littletail heard Sammie call:
! I've finished my painting and
I'm going out to play"
"Well, don't go too far" his moth
er told him.
Mrs. Littletail and Nurse Jane
! were busy in the kitchen when they
heard the front door open, and
Uncle Wiggily called:

The small. dark woman is coming
Copyright 1910, BIZ The McClure Newspaper

The small. dark woman Is coming
into her own.
There was q time when to say
that a woman was dark and small
was equivalent to saying that she
was no beauty.
aIn the old age black was not
counted fair. or II 1t were. It bore
not beauty's name" says Shakes
peare In one of his sonnets. Poets
and painters took 1t for granted
that Eve, since Of course she was
beautiful, was a blonde of more
than the average stature. So were
Venus and Juno and the rest of the
goddesses who made any claim to
beauty. But today the point Of
among the manufacturers of won
ems clothes whose plea IL. much as
1t must have been among the artists
and sculptors of old: Wanted. u tail

And Seppho, even though her no.
etry and her personality fascinated
many who came in contact with her,
never gained the distinction of be-
ing beautiful. She was sometimes
spoken OF as ''the flower of the
graces," and 'the beautiful" but
this must have applied only to her
writings. says an English COM
menter and not to her person. which
was small and dark.
You will notice that this prejudice
against the small dark woman per-
sisted in England until fairly re.
