Far UP the trail there stands a hut;
II has the look of housing sin.
With two high windows bearded shut,
And one low door knocked in.
And there the silence seems aware
Of its own hush: The fir trees lean
Away. as though they might see there
Evil they once had seen.
What signs of life were lef. within
Wild things and winds cleaned long

But what they were and what the sin,
No one will ever know.

AS far as the season has gone this
thug has not happened. There is
are to be revived and that fashions
that have proved acceptable for the
winter are to be retained for the
spring. This is not prophecy, for the
first week of March may bring in a
revolution in silhouette. in materials,
gig in which we live.
Revival of Black Satin.
Here and there is new touch
Those who watch straws for in
stance, know that lacquered fabrics
are in possession of the field of fasn-
ion This idea is an old one after
all. The vanishing of fabrics was be-
French houses used the trick. tenta-
lively. This year they use it lavishly.
The fashion for shining materials.
however. is not limited to the new
fabrics: it is far reaching. Upon this
base we will build a tower. Whatever
shines will be acceptable. This brings
satin. glazed taffeta. metallic tissue,
oilcloth. polished leather and glycer-
ined ribbon back to the shelves and
the counters. 1t looks as though what
ever is dull will be avoided. The satin
that shines will be preferred to the
satin that does not.
The dressmakers show they are not
aVerSe to any kind of satin for spring
clothes. In Paris half the smart wom-
en- wear frocks of this ia brio. No one
avoids it because it is old. The world
has dearth of new things and the
left-overs must serve, and serve well.
Some of the new satin shines as
though it has been glazed; it has the
appearance of some abnormal kind of
oilcloth. as if a magic weaver. had
fo L. ha drtn of
fisherman and transmitted the ma
terial into chiffon. retaining it's lustre
With such satin frocks, shining ma
terials are combined. There is no at
tempt on the part of the dreSsmakers
to dull the glare. Glistening jet. bull
lion thread. flashing crystals are add
ed to highly vanished surface.
which gives one a strong impression
that the women of the spring are to
blaze and filter like the aurora
borealis. like sun on ice fields.
Will Sleeves Be Longer.
Here is another point of interest in
these new satin gowns: their sleeves
reach TO the elbow and sometimes to
the wrist. Has Paris foresworn the
short sleeve? Has she wearied of it
just when America is accepting it?
Will We go through another season of
rejecting what Paris sends over and
accepting what she has abandoned?
1 The frock in the sketch shows one OF
these brilliant satin gowns with the
! longer sleeve. 1t is cut on lines with
which we are quite familiar. There is
/ as you see. the retention of the ori-
entail hem. The frock is cut on the
| simple straight line of two years age
without bulge at the hips to indi-
cate crinoline or panniers.
! The curious part of the frock is the
neck scarf that reaches to the orr
entail hem. which is of shining gray
satin. and over parts of the black
satin is splashed brilliant embroid-
cry of silver and gray. The elbow
sleeves have a cuff of the gray satin
and the hat, whose brim rolls away
from the head. is of gray tulle ant
silver.

BiIIy Mink Is Quick.

When Billy Mink decides to do a
thing he wastes no time thinking
about it. He does it instantly. There
in he differs from many of his neigh
Billy Mink is very quick. He makes
quick decisions and he acts Just as
quickly. That is one reason Billy is
able to go and come as he pleases.
There are few he fears.
This doesn't mean that Billy has
no enemies who could Kill him easily
if they caught him. He has several.
but he isn't afraid of them simply
because he is so quick that he feels
sure of being able to escape. even
though one of these enemies may
surprise him. So it is probable that
the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows are filled with fear as sell
dom as is Billy Mink.
The night he decided to leave the
farm where he had been living so
highly and go back to the Laughing
woodpile almost the instant he had
made up his mind. 1t was moon
light night, just the kind of a night
to travel Billy bounded along care
free and happy. AS is his way. he
stopped to investigate whatever at
every little hole he came to. and
when he came to a hollow log ne
ran through it just to find out if
anybody else had used it lately.
By and by he came to the Green
Forest The moonbeams crept through
the branches overhead and made all
sorts of Black Shadows. This was
just the kind of a place to suit
Billy. Occasionally he ran across
bright open place, but for the most
part he kept in the Black Shadows.
You see. Billy knows very well that
it is difficult for any one to see him
in the Black Shadows. Not that he
cared particularly who saw him. but
he long ago learned that if one is
unseen it is much easier to see others.
He was running across one of the
bright open places when from the
corner of one of his eyes he caught
sight of moving shadow. Now
most folks in Billy's place would
have stopped, or. at least. turned to
see what that shadow meant. Billy
did nothing of the kind. The very
second that he caught that glimpse
of the moving shadow Billy bounded
of to one side. He didn't hesitate
a fraction of a second. Then he
darted under pile of brush from

was blot on that snowy, glazed in
terror, every other inch of which
spoke of exquisite cleanliness.
Il puzzled over this problem quite
while" said the owner of model
bathroom. Towels have to be used
that's what they're for, and they have
to be used more than once. too. You
cannot wipe your hands on them and
throw them in the soiled-clothes bas-
ket. But 1 found that the children
were wiping their hands before they
were thoroughly rinsed. The average
child loosens up all the dirt on his
hands and then wipes it off on the
towel Some grown-ups do it. too.
'F'irst, | began training my family
10 rinse their hands clean. Then fol-
lowed long battle on refolding the
towel in the creases made by the
iron. If this is done and the towel
is hung back in the same folds 1t
looks neat. even if it is moi, entirely
fresh Last of all we tackled the
trick of wiping half-soiled fingers on
the front of a towel without lifting
it from the rack. The towel may be
perfectly clean and unused except for
this smear of finger prints on the
