Fairy Tale
LADY's SLIPPER
61WAARY GRAHAN1 bonner

"Ef1e Elf" said Daddy, had gone
walking in the woods, and had met
there a lovely Lady's Slipper flower.
The Lady's Slipper was growing in
the ground and was looking very hand
some and lovely.
"'Hello, Lady's Slipper said Efie
Elf. May l call you Lady for a pet
name?
Certainly said the Lady's Slipper,

low flowers which are relatives Of
yours. They were so sweet and fra
grant and it was a great pleasure to
see them. But I've long wanted TO
have a chat with you
Tell me, Lady, will you talk with
me and tell me a story which 1 hear
you have TO tell me, an adventure
story 1 believe it is?
Indeed l will tell you my story.
l am sure that the Wood Fairy must
have told you l had story. Was
that how you heard of it?'
That was the way, said Ellie
Elf.
Sometimes I am known as the
MOccasin Flower because l look some
thing like a moccasin.
ALSO l am known as the Lady's
Slipper because I look like a lady's
slipper. Sometimes I am known as
the Stemless Lady's Slipper because I
haven't the greatest amount of stem
to me that one might imagine l might
have.
Though, again, no one might e1-
pect much of a stem to me after all.
1 don't know. / don't think any of
my names suit me az well as that of
Pink Slipper, for 1 am like a pink
Slipper. Still Moccasin Flower suits
me pretty well. And Lady's Slipper
is all right, too.
After all, 1 think most of my
names are nice. l really, really do.

fur-cOIlared wrap courts favor.
The new fur collars are ever so
flattering, and they are fashioned To
come up high about the throat.
Caracul and gray squirrel are the
selected summer furs for these col
lars, with perhaps a greater number
of the former. This prediction for
cocoa-cOlored caracul comes about be
cause of the popularity of cloth wraps
in the lighter shell brown and toast
shades
There is a fancy to use gray fur on
rust or henna cloth. This combina-
ton is wonderfully effective. Often
the tones are carried out by embroider-
ing the henna cloth with gray angora

As TO fringe, it is coming in stronger
than ever, and especially as a trim
ming on the new capes. This season
it is Of exaggerated depth and finds
lavish placement on the garment. It
is matched perfectly 10 the wrap and
the hand-tied fringe is favored.
The idea of tying strands at inter-
walls over the skirt of the blouse cape
like wraps is very good. In this way
very effective results are obtained with
a minimum use of the silk.

TOY A. HAYNES. prohibition commissioner,
X evidently means business. He has ready,
it is reported, a small navy of converted
submarine chasers. each under experienced and
competent commanders, to put stop to the liquor
trade between American ports and the West Indies.
If prohibition is to be enforced determined action
is essential No halfway measures will make
the law respected by misguided fortune hunters
who convinced that it is joke. Mr.. Haynes,
it seems is tired of the disgusting continuation
OF law evasion which has characterized the his
tory of the Vostead act.
Some folks have gotten the idea that the
United States does not intend to enforce prohi-
bition Some folks think, because an official here
and there is open to bribery and because other
enforcement officers not in sympathy with
the tasks assigned them that the law is not
taken seriously by the government itself. Mr..
Haynes is determined to put end to this false
impression.
Unfortunately, considerable delay will be
necessary before the prohibition navy" can be
put into action. Ii it does not function efficiently
when that time comes shall want to know the
reason why 1t does not seem probable that men
capable OF meeting the problems which con-
fronted officers and men in the United States navy
during the can be baffled by crowd of
ignorant, cowardly, If this is the
case the United States has come to a pretty pass.
b The time has come when it is Mr.. Haynes
duty to knock of the nonsense out of the
heads OF prohibition volators. Hemust show them
for all that the United States government is
great enough to enforce its laws, that the govern
ment not be overthrown by disreputable mob,
drunken with prospects of big profits from an lille
gal and murderous business
Just at present, the West Indies rum traffic
sppears to be the worst problem before Mr. Haynes
He has stamped out successfully much of the moon
shine manufacture. He has made prohibition very
effective outside the thickly settled portions
on the United States. The decks were cleared for

featuring centers when this traffic problem
cropped up
