just in time to see Nimhle and Dodger charge.
 Whats this? A mock battle ?" Jasper Jay inquired as he settled down beside MT. Crow.
 ''No!" Mr, Crow replied in muffled tones, Its a real one-but they don't know it yet"
 Next to quarreling himself, old Mir Crow loved to look on whils others wrangled. And though he had no taste himself for actual fighting, he liked to see his neiehbors pummel and peck and buffet and bounce one another.
 So Mir. Crow enjoyed watching the tilt between Nimble and Dodger the Deer. Neither Mir. Crow, nor his rowdy cousin, Jasper Jay, had ever seen so furious d fracas as that one soon became. Sometimes Nimbe and podger rushed together with such force that it seemed to Mir Grow their horns must break off. Some times they reared and struck each other with their front hoofs.
 At first whenever he felt a hurt Nimhle only fought the harder. When Dodgers horns gouEed him and his hoofs cut him, Nimble butted and thrust and struck all the faster. But for every buffet he repaid Dodger, Dodeer gave him another that was heavier than ever.
 It was no wonder that in time Nim- hle began to feel tired, But he didn't let Dodger the Deer know that
 This was easy to start" Nimhe thought, but it seems hard to stop. l wish Dodeer would run away"
 In the meantime Mir. Crow and Jasper Jay agreed that the battle was growing tanner every moment
 Hustle it up" Mir Crow called 10 Nimble and Dodger. while Jasper Jay leered at them both and told them they were mollv-coddles.
 T shouldn't call this mock bat. tie now MT. Crow told them. It's more like a game of tag"
 If only Dodger would run away" Nimble said under his breath. "Il stop minute and see if he won't"

MIR. CROW LOOKS ON.

 Nimble and his friend Dodger the Deer picked themselves up off the ground where they had fallen afte, their collision in the air They did no, feel any too pleasant. One of Dodg- CTS sharp tines had given Nimble a good prick. And one of Nimble's points had stung Dodger like a hor- nets sting.
 If only one of them had been pricked the whole affair might have ended differently. For then perhaps only one of them would have lost his temper. As they drew apart they were growing more angry every in- stant. And when they wheeled and glared at each other old MT. Crow, who was watching them from his perch in the pine tree, called out: Don't stop. Make it lively. now."
 Nimble gritted his teeth and stamped upon the ground.
 "Ill teach you not to prick me-" he muttered.
 "I'll make you wish you'd left those new antlers at home!" cried Dodger the Deer.
 Don't stop" old Mir. Crow urged them once more as he teetered on his perch. Let the fun go on,"
 He squalled so loudly that his cousin Jasper Jay heard him half mile away and came hurrying up to see what was going on. He arrived

FASHION ossERVE- AESTHETIC APRONS CHEER THE SOUL
DAILY FASHION SERVICE

No woman of even the most mod est means need look like n dreary drudge in this day of gay wash fabrics and delightful apron fashions Do aprons have fashions7 Certain ly they do! And never have they been prettier than right now. It's almost a temptation to discharge the cook. just to see some of the charm ing apron effects now in vogue. It's psychological imposshility for a woman to feel drudgery when she knows she looks piquant |. The bungalow apron, variously called the "all-over" and the easy on," is now practically dress, to slip on over a real dress if desired. The bungalow apron may be open the entire length in the back, or stitched up as far as the belt line, as the wearer prefers.
 Gay cretonnes are specially popu- lar just now, being used to trim aprons of plain color ehambray, or to form the entire apron with plain color serving as the decoration.
 Quaint calico patterns have also become cmart, the more old-fash- toned the better. These are fre- quently trimmed with rick rack, an other revival from an older day, which Is as sturdy as it is good looking.
 One pretty apron seen recently was of dark green and white calico of a small all-over design, trimmed with black rick-rack. The effect was very smart.
 Blue with bright red rickrack is another combination calculated to make the dusting hour cheerful

 That's a good ideal" Nimble ex- claimed. Lets see a mock battle up in the tree,"
 But Mir. Crow replied hoarsely that he had to meet a friend down the valley. 'I must be Tapping along he said. And off he went.
 Jasper Jay grinned and winked at Nimble and Dodger behind Mir Crows back. And then with loud squall-which might have meant al- most anything-he too flew away.
 That was the liveliest mock battle we ever had" Nimble remarked to his friend Dodger
 Dodger agreed with what he said.
 Nimble's mother gasped when she saw her son a little later.
 You're terrible sight" she told him severely. What have you been doing?"
 I've been having fun with Dodger the Deer," Nimble explained. But to tell the truth. it wasn't as much fun as I had expected" Copyright 1922 by The Metropolitan

PRIVILEGES OF AGE

THERE are some older men and
L women who seem to think that
just because they are full Of years, as
the old expression is that they are
exempt from many Of the demands of
good manners. Now this Is true in
some cases. For instance, If mans
old age has made it difficult to stand
In the street car he should certainly
not try to get up for an old lady
unless obviously she Is feebler
than he.
But old people are not privileged
and they should remember that they
are not privileged to be brutally frank.
I think that this is one Of the greatest
and most frequent instances of bad
manners among the old. They ac-
quire bluntness with years. Then
they say to themselves: mo one
cares what I say anyway. They go
ahead and do what they want to do
whether like 1t or not, so If I can

their sons that their wives are the

IN the family OF glowworms, found
principally in England, the male is
eqaipped with wings while the female
resembles caterpillar and remains
upon the ground. To permit her TO at

way to their home, the female has
been provided with a pale greenish
light. 1t night, when the male 10

Members of the same species OF

variety, however, both sexes are
