PUSS IN BOOTS JR.


I'VE might have known we would see
n black sheep" laughed Puss Junior. as
he and Tom Thumb and the BlackbiTd
came to a pasture that bordered the
highway.
"why7" inquired Tom Thumb from
the inside Of Puss Juniors pocket, where
he had hidden himself so as to enjoy a
good nap.
Because the Blackbird IS travelling
with us as our comrade," answered Pass,
"as we may expect to find black sheep,
black cats, black this and black that"
The sheep by this time had come up
close to the fence and stood looking at
our three small travellers with much in
terest The Blackbird, who had perched
himself on the top rail- was the first TO
speak.
''Baa, baa. Black Sheep.
Have you any wool?"
Yes, sir, yes sir.
Three bags full,
One for my master,
One for my dame
And one for the little boy
That lives In our lane
answered the Black Sheep, and he
wlggled his little tail back and forth.
30 you belong to Little 30 Peepf"
asked Tom Thumb, sticking out his head
from Puss Juniors pocket
NO, sir, no, sir" answered the Black
Sheep.
And I'm sure you're not MaTy's Little
Lamb" said Puss Junior, for I have
seen 1t, and 1t doesn't look anything
like you. It's white-its fleece is white
as snow"
I'm just plain Baa, Baa Black Sheep,
replied the sheep. But have you seen the
little boy that lives in our lane?"
mo, 1 haven't" said Puss. well, he's
Just the incest little boy you ever saw"
said the sheep. You come along with
me and IN take you to him" So our
three small travellers followed the Black
Sheep who led them down a shady lane
to a small house. In the front yard was
a little boy playing with his toys.
On seeing the Black Sheep he ran ont
of the gate, but stopped and held back
as soon as he saw Puss Junior and the
Black Bird He didn't see Tom Thumb
at first for Tom was still inside Puss
Juniors pocket.
Here are some friends of mine. little
boy" said the Black Sheep. They are
all Mother Goose People, so you need
not be afraid of them. I'm not" said
the little boy "only I was surprised-I
wasn't afraid "Bravely said my boy"
said Puss Junior, land If you wish.

The little boy clapped his hands and
then they all sat down And in the next

The holidays have most successfully
and completely crowded all the bread
and butter clothes into the background.
but as the holidays usher in our gayest
and busiest social season perhaps il is
just as well. Evening frOcks, evening
hats and wraps and accessories scint1llate
before our eyes from every shop win
dow. I use scintiIlate advisedly, for
there is scarcely an article Of evening
attire that does not flash with touches OF
metal.
The frock in the sketch is simplicity
itself in line and drapery. 1t can we'll
afford to be- for It is made entirely Of a
rich and heavy bTocade rose and silver,
It's only trimming being loops o. rose
velvet ribbon on the skirt, pleasantly
contrasting in their plain simplicity, and
al elaborate girdle.
Girdles are growing not only more
elaborate, more ubiquitous but more
obese as we'll Some Of them are
soft rolls Of fabric. some are padded,
some wound with strings OF pearls, While
this one is made Of fair sized artificial
flowers. roses and huge forgetmenots.
The girdle is placed. as all good
Glrdles ara. well below the waist line,
the straight blouse formally and
rather stifny draped above it. The
blouse follows the conventions OF the
season. with a very modest neck line
and total absence Of sleeve.
Spanish or mid Victorian IS the stiff
and formal wired bounancy OF the skirt
"A bouffancy which confines itself
almost exclusively to the hips.
The uneven hem line, too, is favored
In skirt which hangs up IN the front
and back and longer on the sides.

Boston Physicians Assert
Faculty Posture Cause OF
Mann Ills.

Scientists have found many children,
4allcw of complexion and generally below
bar. reach this condition through faulty
posture. Correct posture has been given
&pecial attention by Drs. Floyd Brown
And Fritz Talbot of Boston. The Feb
4uary DelineatoY magazine tells Of these
Conditions in an article edited by DIT.
ALAN De Forest Smith, himself a noted
authority The article says.
! In order to form a correct estimate Of
child's posture, it is necessary to re-
hove the clothing. at least that above the
waist, and then to examine the child

children, especially In first attempting to
correct their posture, almost invariably

making the condition worse. It is bet

The emphasis upon the position Of the

give a child a lesson in posture once

should be practiced all the time"
