That's nice looking house over
there" said Tom Thumb Suppose we
go over and see If we can get something
to eat"
Very we'll" replied Puss Junior So
he and Tom went up and knocked on the
front door.
"a kitten once to his mother said,
IN never more be good;
But III go and be robber fierce.
And live In a dreary wood,
Wood, wood, wood,
And live in a dreary wood"
"a bold bad kitten my dear Puss,
Tom Thumb whispered, Il hope he's no
relative of yours"
And just then the door flew open and
out rushed a small cat. He wore a large
soft hat with a sweeping feather in il
and a pair Of gloves, and in his belt was
a great big pistol and from his side hung
a scabbard and IN his night paw was a
sharp sword.
And 1t was a good thing he didn't see
Puss and Tom, for he might have done
something dreadful, for all l know.
Let's follow this gay young kitten"
said Tom Thumb. So he and Puss Junior
started after him, and after a little
while the kitten turned to the right, and
"Off he went to the dreary wood
And there he met a cock,
And blew his head, with a pistol, off,
Which gave him an awful shock!
Shock, shock, shock
Which gave him an awful shock!"
''We'd better be careful, cried Tom
Thumb, jumping behind tree II don't
want my head blown Off"
Neither do l." said Puss Junior. "This
kitten is a very dangerous sort Of an ami
NAL. If he had only a sword, I'd take
chances, for l have mine with me. But
pistols are pistols and they go off some
times too quickly for comfort"
And just then the robber kitten saw
our two small travellers. Hello. therei"
he cried. ''Whither are you bound, my
friendsp"
1--WE are in search of adventures" re
piled Puss.
Hold up your hands!" cried the robber
kitten. 81 am in search of plumber"

1t is difficult to tell whether our bout
FAINT skirts have been suggested by Spain
or the mid Victorian period. The skirt
OF this frock, If you look at it's shape
only. would seem decidedly Spanish, but
l am inclined to put it down as mid
Victorian when further consider the
color and trimming.
/ think we have never had a fashion
season quite like thissO many and OF
posing influences.
And certainly not in my recollection
have we had two such distinctly opposed
siIhouettes. While there are many of the
slim, straight evening frOcks, the ma
jOrity are, like this one, as bouffant as
may be without actual hoops. And for
daytime wear though manT of the skirts
are full on the sides, there Is nothing APP
preaching the distended skirts of eve
ming.
1t is, | think. a move in the right di-
recti0n There is no longer any excuse
for the man whose frocks are made
on lines that do not suit her figure. She
may be gowned now in perfect taste,
from the artists point Of view, and be
ultra fashionable at the same time. The
French woman has always put her own
type above style, and perhaps we shall
some day follow her illustrious example.
The dress in the sketch is Of pale
green taffeta, it's particular figure being
the long line of trimming, starting in
the shoulder straps, made of fat bias
folds Of the taffeta.

they didn't bring any presents an
swered Helen. ''but three of my things
didn't come from the family. Mr.. Allen
sent me a box Of flowers and a big box
Of candy and the Bride gave me lovely
book. She says l must start real IL
brary of my own, and that she is going
to give me a book on every birthday and
Christmas till I'm an old lady
And what did your father give you? ?"
inquired Belle enjoying Helen's pleasure
in telling about the party.
"Oh the loyeliest little umbrella with
round handle TO carry it on my wrist
like yours" exclaimed Helen her eyes
shining, that's another thing I've al
ways wanted for my very own, and not
to have to use an old family umbrella
that nearly always leaks"
II suppose she'll go right out and lose
