We are all
listening" said the sixth little white
chicken hawk.
"a narrow escape" said the third
little white chicken hawk, lis when
an escape is just made, very, very
narrowly. 1t means that there is not
much room to escape, but If one is
very smart and spry and all such
things, one can just manage to es-
cape. There is no such thing as a
wide escape and if there were such a
thing it wouldn't mean much for 1t
would mean that an escape was easy
enough TO make when there was so
much room in which to make It,

third little white chicken hawk.

YES" said the third little white

meaning of the expression too. and

Thank you" said the third little

FOUND UNDER A TREE

MO ONE e7er knew how it came
~ there. but after it was ali oyer,
Mir. Fox, who visited the farms often
er than any of the others, Thought
that some one had picnic in the
woods and left it under the tree.
Ii was a box, not very large one
but large enough to attract Mr.. Fox
as he walked through the woods one
day under the bushes and back of the
trees.
He, being a very wise and cautious
fellow, did not touch it, but ran over
TO Billy Possum's house to tell him
about it, and Billy, being very Curl
Gus, ran with Mr.. Fox to where the
box was under the tree.
But after looking at it while Billy
Possum decided that Tim Coon was

hats and new footwear. AS they are
experts in the art of dressing taste
fully and as each has made her selec-
tiOns different from the others, it is
worth while TO study the details of
their quiet, springtime apparel for the
street. Their suits are widely differ
ent, but equally good style, their hats
agree only In being small, but in the
matter of footwear each has chosen
plain silk stockings and low shoes
to be worn with spats when the
weather is cool.
The extremes of the box-coat style
begin with the jacket at one end and
end with the finger-length flaring mod
Ell at the other. In the youthful,

BEAUTY CHATS

possible In every state and no one
with an American taste would eat
garlic. But an occasional dish of
small onions, creamed or stewed, will
make an excellent substitute. Car
rots are also beauty foods; they en-
rich the blood and purify it. Spinach
is good for the complexion, for 1t
purifies the blood. Apples tone up
the whole system, orange juice is
laxative and grapefruit has a health
full acid. Toast is better than bread,
for all the indigestible parts of bread
are removed by the second baking.

sum all sat still and looked. Not one
OF them wished to touch it, although
from all sides there seemed to be
nothing that looked like a trap.
What are you all looking atT
asked Jack Blackbird, looking down
from the tree overhead, and when he
saw the box he flew down in a hurry
to look it over.
"POof," he said, with toss of his
saucy head, ''it won't hurt yOu," and
he gave ii a poke which turned the
box over and there on one side Jack
saw a little hook which held the
cover.
All three animals moved back a lit
tie as Jack pecked at the hook with
his bill and they looked on with wide
open eyes.
"Peck, peck, peck" went Jack
Blackbird, and then the hook slipped
back and off flew the cover and up
jumped a hooked nose little fellow
who had on a pointed cap and carried
stick in one hand.
The funny little fellow jumped o.
hard that his spring gave way and
up he went with a bound into the
lower branch of the tree, where he
caught on a twig by the back of his
red coat.
All the animals ran to a place of
safety and Jack Blackblrd flew to a
nearby bush to see what had hap
pened.
Mrs. Bluejay soon told them, for
she lived in that tree and her peace
had been disturbed by what had hap
pened.
Il should like to know" she said in
an angry tone, IF you fellows haven't
anything better to do than play with
toys and scare a body nearly out OF
their senses.
Here you have sent this creature
up here In my tree and my children
will never learn to fly while it is here,
it will brighten them so, and 1 sup
pose l will have to remove 1t. l will
pick out your eyes if l catch any of
you around here again."
Then down to the lower limb flew
angry Mrs. Bluejay, and. giving the
little creature with a crooked nose a
vicious peck, down he fell right on
his face, while all the animals. as
well as Jack Bluejay. went home as
fast as they could.
Il am sure IL was a toy left there
by some children" said Mr.. Fox that
night when they were talking it over :
"but you never can tell and it pays to
be careful, find"

Giving Up CoIors.

Color in dress is a topic one hears
mentioned frequently. as each season
brings new shades and tints. Some
times one hears the opinion expressed
that a middle-aged woman should give
up wearing c6lors. II wear nothing
but black now" says many a woman
who seems to think it creditable to
her. True, stout women always look
their best In black and dark colors
and In dull rather than bright fabrics |;
but monotony is wearisome. The

"Pearl" is thought by some writer's
to come from The Latin ''pirula,"
meaning "a little pear" because so
many fine pearls were pear-shaped.
RUBY" is thought to have been So
called from ''ruber." the Latin for
red" but it may be that the word
"ruber," meaning red, was derived
from the name of the ruby.

BEAUTY FOODS

A SIDE from the question of which
IA foods make for fat or for slen-

make for beauty. Certain fruits and
vegetables do have a direct effect upon
the looks, and the woman who is try
