BELINDA BUNNY's UNCLE ISAAC

BELINDA BUNNY'S UNCLE ISAAC.
 Miss Belinda Bunny had an uncle, whom the whole family called Uncle Isaac. Indeed everybody in Pleasant Valley called him by the same name. And everybody agreed that he was about the laziest person in the whole neighborhood. He had no home. but went about visiting his relations, who | always groaned when they saw him coming and passed him along, as soon as they could, to some other house. l hold.
 No! There was just one of the for est-folk that thought Uncle Naac just perfect. This was Belinda Bun ny's mother. Uncle Isaac was her own brother. She said he wasn't lazy. but i'll. And she would have been glad to keep him at her house all ways. But If he stayed longer than six months at a time, Belinda Bunny's father began to grumble. And of course that made things disagreeable for everybody. When Mir. Bunny be- gan to grumble, Uncle Isaac always hurried to pack his bag. He was never known to hurry at any other time.
 Young Jimmy Rabbit often went to Belinda Bunnys house. But he didn't go there to see Uncle Isaac. .He went to see Belinda herself. Uncle Isaac, however, didn't seem to grasp this fact. He always appeared to think that Jimmy Rabbit came just on his account. It often struck Jim my Rabbit that Uncle Isaac was usually waiting for him to call.

orasCINATIoNp Ar Fox's.

High class vaudeville of variety of numbers and scope. including some fine musical sketches and some clever dancing feats, coupled with Mae Mur- ray in "Fascination," is now playing at Fox's one of the most excellent bills a discriminating patron could desire.
 In "Fascination," Miss Murray DOT trays all the primitive passions of the hot blooded Spanish girl. Chafing at restraint, she attends bull-fight 5in disguise and is fascinated by a TO- mantle appearing toreador She then gets into a series of amazing and dan gerous adventures, but is finally res cued by an American who. it. turns out, was one of her childhood play mates. and 1t is he who in the end wins her hand and the right to pro- tect her from such dangerous fasci- nations as thesone she just had.

The Demand Madge Made of
 Claire Foster

NIaire FONHr
 For a long, tense minute after m, call to Claire Foster through hei closed door there was no answer, al. though my ears, always sharp, heard furtive little rustlings. and guessed that the girl was making some quick change either in her room or her clothing before greeting me.
 Then her door swung wide, and she stood framed In the doorway, piti- ful .raveety of the smartly-gowned, insouciant ultra modern girl whom l remembered. True, the kimono wrapped around her was both costly and beautiful. but Claire Foster had been distinctly the poppy, tweed coated, sport-skirted and boused type of girl.
 could not have visualized her in kimono. Although her bobbed hair with it's natural wave was freshly brushed--I reflected that 1t took but a second or two to reduce 1t to order --she had not had time to remove all traces of the ~ouge and powder she must have hastily applied, and guessed that underneath the cosme- tics which the glowing girl of tho summer before never had needed. there was a pallor she did not wish me to see.
 She was quick .witted enough to play up to me. as had known she would when l called her name through the door. We never had ad- dressed each other by anything save the formal Mrs. Graham" and "Mis, Foster" but she promptly responded to my use of her first name with an exuberant little cry.
 "Oh, Madge How dear of you to como to me 50 soon ! I've had the most hectic time"
 Claire 'Plays Up."
 She put out her hand, pulled me past her Into the room, swung the door to securely behind me and spoke in tone so lifeless, so changed from the tone she had just used that started in amazenment.
 That was the way you wished me to play up. wasn't 1t? If was too familiar. pray forgive me-"
 She stood a few paces from me. stiff, almost bristling, as if she were an animal at bay. Her eyes were as full of life as her voice was devoid of 1t, and they gazed at me with de- fiance that l was sure was only mask for far different emotions
 You did just exactly what wished you to do." said in the matter-of- fact tones I would have used to a pupil, when. in my teaching days, had had occasion to commend task performed. And now, tell me about your arm and shoulder. Dicky says they are bruised. Are they too sore
