Purple cushions and odd wicker lounges. lamp shades in green and orange, black and white rugs-all these are perhaps attractive for the summer porch. They may even serve to express the Individuality of the debutante in her own room. But the hall is place which introduces the house to ones guests and its furniture, to be successful, must have something of the qualities of the ideal host It must have dignity mixed with a delicate suggestion of cultivated taste, comfort and beauty without a too emphatic inslstence on the luxurious.

JIMMY SKUNK GOES WITH
 REnX Enx

Jimmy Skunk and Reddy Fox trotted down the Crooked Little Path on to the Green Meadows. Reddy was impatient and in a hurry. But Jimmy Skunk never hurries. and he didn't know. He just took his time and Reddy Fox had to keep waiting for him. Reddy was nervous and anxious. He kept turning his head this way and that way He looked behind every little bush and clump of grass He cooked his sharp ears at every little sound. He sniffed every little breeze. It was ease.
 Hurry up, Jimmy Skunk! Hurry up," he urged every few minutes, and he had hard work to make his voice sound pleasant.
 But Jimmy didn't hurry. Indeed, 1t seemed as if Jimmy was slower than usual. The more impatient Reddy grew the slower Jimmy seemed to go. And every time Reddy's back was turned Jimmy would grin and his sharp. little eyes twinkled with mischief You see, he knew that despite all his boasting Reddy Fox was afraid, and because he wasn't afraid himself Jimmy was getting a lot of fun out of seeing Reddy afraid Once when Reddy had stopped to look over the Green Meadows Jimmy stole up behind him very softly and sud- denly pulled Reddy's tail. Reddy spranR forward with a frightened yelp and started to run as only Reddy can. Then he heard Jimmy Skunk laughing and knew that Jimmy had played a joke on him. He stopped short and whir1ed around
 What are you laughing at. Jimmy Skunk?. he shouted angrily.
 "Oh, nothing, noting all" re- piled Jimmy, and his fade was al sober as if he never had aLghed and never could laugh. Reddy opened his mouth to say something ugly. bul suddenly remembered that If he quar- relied with Jimmy Skunk then Jim my wouldn't go any further with him So he gulped down his anger as bes he could and grinned sheepishly whil' he waited for Jimmy to catch III with him.
 So at last they came to the buncl of grass and bushes in which Redd. had left the half eaten chicken tha morning. There it lay just as Redd, had left it. Reddy stopped at saf distance and pointed 1t out to Jimm Skunk. Jimmy looked at it thought fully.
 Whom do you suppose could hay brought 1t way down here on tn Green Meadows 2? whispered Redd as if he was afraid that some on might overhear him.
 Jimmy Skunk scratched his hea as if thinking very hard. It miRh have been Redtail the Hawk sai he at last

SHAVED OFF PEASANT REVOLT

According to a recent letter from Riga leading communist recently remarked to a correspondent there .Lenine's concession of free trade is worse than twenty-five Kronstadt mutinies. Yet with this heroic meas ure. which is no doubt a most serious setback to communism in Russia. Lenine has done the greatest service to the revolution.
 T hope this concession may have come in time to thwart terrih le revolt of the peasants-one of those outbreaks which, once started. would smash not only the communist party and the soviet government, but every thing left of the town civilization and probably the towns themselves

A short time ago, in the field of in terior decoration there came a re- action against the antique. The modernists said that new life was needed. creative originality in the place of copying old models, bright .colors in the place of the accus- toned grays and sands. And so we had oddly constructed couches. quaint chairs designed for spectacu- lar effect rather than comfort. cushions of orange and black and purple and all such things as pro claimed q breaking away from adoration of the old artists.
 This movement had various ef- fccts- Some households felt 1t not ar~ all. while some became a riot of vivid colors and tart nouveau' decoration. The wisest home makers took what was good In the new art for such uses as were ap propriate and chung to the antique pieces for purposes best fitted ts that type of furniture.

All the time he kept his eyes wide open for traps But there were no traps there He was gone long time and when at last he came out his face was very sober.
 Well, was it Redtail the Hawk ?' asked Reddy eagerly.
 Mo- said Jimmy No, it wasn't t Redtail the Hawk or Hooty the Owl. It was some one with teeth very much like yours. Reddy Fox, only bigger, and with feet very much like yours. only these were bigger, too. And the chicken wasn't one of Far mer Browns, and that shows that it was some one smarter than you.

 But it looks to me as if it was left there in the night. and Redtail never hunts at night, because his eyes are for seeing in the daytime and not in the dark added Jimmy Skunk. Lets go closer and perhaps we can tell who left it there"
 "Of course That's a good idea, 9 replied Reddy. starting forward as if he was going to walk right up to the chicken.

The second, LL.D., is doctor of laws, the two L's being the plural form where initials are used. This degree is, or should be conferred upon those deeply learned in the subjects that make up higher education and culture-in languages, literature. sci ence and philosophy. The former de- gree is only conferred upon ministers of religion, the latter upon both min- isters and laymen. The ranks in the British peerage, ascending, are : Baron, viscOunt, earl, marquis, duke.

Bat Has Most Sensitive Nerves.

 The bat is declared by zOOIoySts to be one of the most wonderful of all animals in it's physical makeup, and there are strong reasons to be Iieve it has from one to three senses that no other animal and no human being has. Its wings are a mass of nerves. and it is these that give it the extreme soft, silky feeling as well as serving to create the most sensitive thing in nature. So delicate are these nerves and so responsive to air vibrations that bat can be blinded and turned loose in a room where several objects are hanging from the ceiling by cords, and it will fly about among them without touching any Ob- ject the nerves catching the feel" of the objects as the bat draws near them.
