Fatty's paw was within an inch of the pan when there came a sudden bang!
 It was only a nut striking the pan
 But Fatty Coon didn't know that He thought the trap had sprung, He pulled back his paw. And he was al- ready running away when he heard a voice calling, Stop, thief" He knew it was Frisky Squirrels voice So Fatty stopped and looked all around.
 Bring back that nut" Frisky Squirrel cried.
 Fatty saw him then.
 "Nut?" he asked.
 Frisky had supposed that Fatty was running off with the nut. Now he saw that he was mistaken. He did not waste any words-not even to apologize. Instead he hurried down off the roof of the sugar house and ran up to the pan, The nut was inside it. And Frsky Squirrel hop ped into the pan, picking up his nut, then cracked and ate it.
 Meanwhile Fatty Coon watched rim in amazement.
 Hell never get away" Fatty said to himself. "The trap will catch him
 But it didn't It didn't because there was no trap there.
 To Fatty Coon the whole affair was most puzzling, He couldn't under stand 1t at all. But he said nothing about the matter to any of his fam fly when he reached home a little later.
 The next time he found a tin pan he intended to look inside it and pick out the nut himself Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan

HAT COSTS
 400 LIRE IN ITALY
Women Are Complaining Because
 of High Prices Of Clothing

Rome, Oct 2o.-1talian women are complaining that, while prices for food and clothing are steadily if slowly, decreasing in other countries in Italy they are still going up till it is wonder where the money comes from for all the charming frocks and hats one sees.
 In the good old days a pretty hat could be bought in any of the large towns of Italy for from 25 to 75 lire; now anything from 1oo to 400 lire is cheap. Woolen stuffs that used to cost 6 lire yard, now cannot be bought for less than from 40 to SO lire a yard and the quality is questionable at that Of old a good pair of walk ing shoes could be bought for 25 lire, now from 40 to 250 lire are asked
 A good suit of clothes for man could be bought before the war for from 75 to 100 lire; a pair of good shoes for from 25 to SC lire; hat for lire; and shirt for from to 10 lire. Today the buyer would need 400 to 75o lire for the suit; 100 to POO lire for the shoes; 45 to 150 lire for the hat; and from 35 to 60 lire for each shirt. These prices are bring ing forth much protest
 Articles of common food also have increased in price four five or even six times what they were before the war. Olive oil, which used to cost un- der one lire 8 quart, cannot now be obtained for less than 10 lire: wine, which cost 4o centmes a quart, is now APO lire. eggs which cost from one to two soldi each, now cost from 60 to 70 centimes: milk has advanced from 40 centimes to so lire quart. and butter, once 1.50 a pound, has risen to i 0 lire
