AWAY FOR ANOTHER LAND.

Tinker Bob, King OF the Forest.
was delighted with the way in which
he had been received in the Land Of
the Cotton Mouse, and the many
presents were q delight to him and
Lady. Duck. But as o know he was
on his way to the Land of the Far
South and he could not tarry here
very long or he would not have time
to see all Of the wonderful things of
the Great South.
This fine reception of the King
from the North, was q thing more
wonderful to the Cotton Nice than
the King they would be looking for
him when he should return to the
North Land In the Spring time.
A right, Lady Duck, we will bid
these good folks farewell for we must
be going on II We want to get to the
land where the birds stay all winter"
You know Lady Duck vas ready a
long time ago. \
"Quack, quack,' she said, II have
been ready for a long tlme,' and that
was the truth for she was afraid that
some n of the Cotton Mice might
say something more about the time
when she helped to destroy some Of
their guards.
"Qack. quack, let us go quickly"
Tinker Bob took the Queen in his
hand and the leader. Mr.. Mouse, he
took in his hand also and said: l
am very happy to know o and your
friends and am glad for your pres
ehts and your friendship. But now
We are going on to the land far away
and we will not forget you. When
spring comes we will return to you
again on our way home to the Great
Forest Land
Then Tinker put them both on the
ground. The Queen began to cry as
Queens always do, but Mr.. Mouse
lifted his hat and in a squeaky voice
said: o King of the Forest, we are
glad to meet someone that is a friend
to the creatures such as we; and we
Will tell everyone we meet that you
arc q real King Of. the Forest and
live and be happy"
Tinker Bob was indeed glad to hear
Mr.. Mouse talk in this way for that
was exactly what he had been trying
to do in the Forest all the time. To
make the creatures happy and have
them understand that they should let
each other live and do as they wished
harm. He was really very happy to
think Old Man Experience had given
him such wonderful stones. Then he
took the Stone Of knowledge from
his pocket and looked at it: "All
right, Lady Duck, we will soon be off
to the Land of, the Far South"
He tapped the Wonderful Stone
tand hat same Grand Creature of
His Desire stood by his side with
the magic basket. He climbed in
and with Lady Duck under his arm
they sailed away from the land of the
| Cotton Mice.

Silk and satin pajamas are milady's
%favorite extravaganza today. OF course
crepe de chine nighties and lacey at
fairs are still popular, but the young
er women r all sponsoring the pa
jana suit. Sometimes it IL made Of
ordinary cotton crepe or madras, then
again it may be made Of satin, crepe
de chine, china silk or fluffy seorg-
cite. A very smart suit was seen
among the Christmas gifts Of one
lucky young miss, and it was made
of the finest quality silk pongee. A
pocket was embroidered with. initials
and slippers were made of pongee to
match. They were beautiful and will
stand laundering most beautifully, but
they must be made at home, as none
of the shops keep them.
This gorgeous pajama suit pictured
made Of ~rose-colored satin is one of
the prettiest of it's kind. The deep
cuffs on the hem Of the coat and ON
the trousers are very effective. The
short sleeves feature the same cuffs,
but they are of the extreme depth.

COULD NOT RELY ON SUNOIAL
Garden "Clocks" Were Always More
Of an Ornament Than Kept for
Any Practical Use.

The sundial became a popular gar
Europe in the Fifteenth century.
There were older time recorders.
There were hour-glasses, candles
that marked the time by their burn
ing. Lamps that indicated the hours
by the amount Of oil consumed, and
the water clock, which was the most
reliable of all these tim~e-recordina
devices. When the sundials came into
vogue they were bought by rich men
who could we'll afford to have a clock,
the cost Of which was less than the
cost of an ornamental sundial. The
peasant who could not afford q clock
did not need a sundial, because he
could tell time, or nearly tell the
time by looking at the sun, or by the
slant Of his own shadow.
The south of Europe fashion Of the
sundial spread to England with the
fashion of the formal or Italian gar
den, and when English, Irish and
Scotch gentry fled to the colonies, or
simply emigrated to the colonies, they
.ook with them the idea that a gar
len was not a garden without a sun
HAL, any more than 1t could be
4 garden without a box hedge, a bor-
Ter Of jonquils, some arbor vitae trees,
4 gravel walk and q rustic bench.
In the older settlement portions OF
Maryland and Virginia and including
he District Of Columbia it is not I'M
usual to find these sundials, or the
stump" or base on which the dial
rested, in the gardens Of old homes.
Yet 1t Is a fair assumption that on
every place where there was a sun
dial a clock run by wheels and
weights licked away in the manor
house, or in the mansion house, ana
that every land owner who could az
ford to have a sundiai in his garden
carried a gold watch or silver watch
In the fob pocket Of his small
clothes"

PLANTS GUARDED BY NATURE
As ~%nfants," the saplings Are by NO
Means Defenseless Against In
Jury From Fire.

Young long-leaf plants protect them-
selves against forest fires In a most
Interesting and remarkable way. FOR
four or five years the stems or the
infant trees attain a height OF ohiy
as many inches above the soil. Dur
ing this time their bark is ~extraordl-
narily thick, and that alone gives some
protection. But in addition the long
