quiet and was quite the boss too"
Il viii tell my story at once" said
the ant lion. "As l said I was an in

I'm not even an inch long. I have
pincers on the front of my body and

my body. Then I dig and make my

the ants
"They come my way and look over
the edges of the home I have dug my

sand was soft and we were so comfort

in the soft sand.
There is a time when we spin
cocoons when we are free and go off
looking like dragon flies and with our
mates enjoy life for a little and see
the world and think Of love and
beauty.

Two small fiat bows appear at the

to make this pretty accessory.
In the other girdle four strands of
ribbon encircle the waist, sewed to

with little steel or mother-Of-pearl
buckles, like those shown in the pic
ture, or embelushed only with tiny bows
and knots of the same ribbon, or Orna-
mented with small millinery flowers

least that is the assertion made by
manufacturers of this kind of ap-

mand for good quality in the materials
used and less liking for ornate trim

flavor of daintiness in the finish of
underwear. Even these are dispensed
with in some cases. where drawn work,
or contrasting color in self materials,
