most importunate entreaties had been
able to coax his daughter to return with
him.

- OBERT HENRI, the American
painter who specialises in
Y portraits, exhibits q number


of exceedingly interesting
studies Of young girls of various na-
tionalities in the collection Of his
paintings on view in the Corcoran Art
Gallery, in a special exhibition to be
open until November 2. Although all
Of these portraits Of international
fiappers show the mannerisms Of their
artist, the faces themselves are Won
derfully individual and provo quite
fascinating for q comparison Of racial
characteristics.
In THE Blue Tam" ono finds q
study Of an adorable little Scotch girl,
with her short turned-up nose and in
tensely honest dark eyes. The two
Spanish girls depict very distinct
types. The young dancing girl shows
the subtle shading Of sophistication
whereas the other very. properly
brought-up young Juanita leaves one
with an impression Of concentrated
innocence. cultivated in the midst OF
a calm convent garden, behind un-
compromisingly high walls.
the stolid Indifference Of the coun-
tries Of the far east, and La Rubta,"
the young French model, depicts the
attitude Of mind that Is essentially
French in its conception. The young
Hawaiian girl suggests dancing to the
music Of the tropical surf in the very
dreaminess of her eyes and the pose
Of graceful relaxation as she leans
against bright rugs. The two dis
tinctly American Indian types express
the stoicism and completely serious
state Of mind Of the Indian girls.
There is no frivolity' or light-hearted
whimsicality about either the I'm
dian Girl Of Santa Clara" or the TN

GOLOsHES.
THIS years version Of the goloshes

part Of every napper's costume last
winter has already appeared. both in
local shops and on the hoof. as one
might say. 1t is a modified effect Of
tho Russian boot and Is made Of

a fascinating design cut in the ma

even q casual observer and holds 1t
even as the ancient mariner with his
"glittering eye.
Yesterday not . few flappers were
strolling up and down their favorite
section Of r street exhibiting these
novelties In footgear with an air of
supreme nonchalance and self-satis-
faction. An older woman was going
having passed several Of these flap
pers, whose legs looked smaller than
ever in the exaggerated boot-tops,
she said to her companion:
my goodness, did think that the
new long skirts would do away with
those horrors. but suppose it's Just
because so many Of the girls refuse
to wear the new-length skirt that
they must have something different,
SO they are trying to ape those aw-
full bolsheviks."
All of which would indicate that
the particular variety Of fapper that
is to blossom as the winter progresses
might well be called the bolshevik
dapper.

time he sat in front of that box and
part of the time he walked around it.
And nothing that Mrs. Reddy could
do could get him away from there.
She was very bold. She barked al
most in his face. She trotted back
and forth past him so near that sew
eral times Bowser could not resist
the temptation to rush at her. But
each time she did this he refused to
follow her. He was satisfied to drive
her away.
So at last Mrs. Reddy was forced
to give up. She had gnawed half
through the collar around the neck
of the young Fox. But Bowser
wouldn't give her a chance to finish
the job. Reddy Fox joined her and
did his best to tempt Bowser away.
But Bowser's sense of duty was
stronger than his desire for the chase
and all the rest of that night he kept
guard. You see, while he didn't at
all understand matters. he felt that
his master wanted that young Fox
kept prisoner and he knew that
Mrs. Reddy was trying her best to
get that young Fox free.
As for the young Fox. he was ter
ribly disappointed. When his mother
had first appeared he had felt sure
that all would be well. Not shadow
Of doubt had entered his little mind.
Mother Fox was wise in all the ways

get him out of this dreadful trouble.
But after Bowser had driven her
away a few times the young Fox be-
gan to be doubtful He began to
suspect that there were some things
that even Mother Fox couldn't do.
But even in his disappointment he
was not as hopeless as he had been.
His mother had found him and would
come to him whenever she could. He
knew that. He knew that she would
never give up so long as there was
the least chance of getting him free.
He knew that her love was stronger
than her fear of Bowser the Hound
and all other dangers. So the young
Fox clunG fast to hope.
Not until Farmer Browns Boy
came out of the house, In the mornins
did Bowser end his watch, AT first
Farmer Browns Boy didn't under
stand. He suspected that Bowser had
been trying to get at that young Fox
and thus had disobeyed him. But
when he saw that the collar OF that
young Fox was gnawed half way
pened in the night. He remembered
having heard Bowser's voice several
times. Carefully and patiently he
looked until he found in some soft
earth a footprint He knew 1t at
once for the footprint Of full-grown
Fox and he guessed that the mother
of his prisoner had been there in the
night and that it was she who had
gnawed that collar. So instead OF
scolding Bowser, as he had intended
to do, he patted him. Bowser wagged
his tail happily. He felt fully paid
for his long watch.

Overblouse Is Now Established
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

At all hours Of the day an overblouse
proves useful. It Is no longer an expert
1nent. 1t is established. One hopes
that four years of training women to
wear these garments will not come to
naught by fashion changing its mind and
throwing them in the discard.
Such blouses are not only substitutes
for shirt waists. They started out to be
and, even with the evident advantages,
they did not make quick headway. 1t
took sports women nearly two years to
realize that they did not pull up to
expose the skirt belt, nor did they need
Il dozen safety pins to keep them IN
,lace. It was difficult to persuade the
thickly built woman that she achieved
8: far better line from shoulder to heel
by not dividing herself into two parts
at the waist
Slowly, however, the overblouse won
it's way. 1t is not only on the front line
of action, but 1t Is accepted by the
masses Of women, who merely follow
the leader.
It has ceased to be a sport garment.
