 Now, Mrs. Coon had been known to hide goodies from her family. Poor lady. It was the only way she could keep any food on hand. And present. ly Fatty recalled this little habit of his mothers. With sly look upon his face he glanced around the room. until his eyes rested upon heap of leaves and moss in a corner.
 With a poke of his paw he swept away the litter; and there before him was an inviting dish. He whistled with delight.
 "A salad.' he exclaimed. And without wasting another moment he set to and ate all the trimmings off his mothers new hat.
 Somehow the salad did not taste as good as he had expected. There was ar odd sameness of flavor about all the vegetables and fruit. Still, the luncheon was filling. And with Fat ty Coon that was always the thing most to be desired.

 Then Mrs. Coon turned to Fatty.

The actual changes in the fashion able silhouette are not startling. Paris has made few radical altera- tons
 All the more reason, then, for the insistence this season on trimming, materials detail of every kind.
 One of these minor ns~nesses is the Bertha collar. Another Is the high collar--seen on the jaequette blouse and daytime dress-which is stiffly frilled or boned to give the proper height and flare.
 Another is the continued extrava- gance of sleeves. Still another Is the importance of the waist line and of belts.
 The newest belt, by the way, is the bolster" bslt--rolls of the material as thick as ones finger twisted together to make heavy cord about ones waist.

CINDERELLA SALLY

salIy's Act Brings Down the House. | What the audience saw was a del- icately pretty country girl, delight fully frightened.
 Accustomed as these hardened thea l tergoers were to country maidens" appearing behind the footlights with an the assurance of veterans, here in- deed was something new. No amount of theatrical art could that tremulous mouth. the brave at- tempt at ease-so transparent and so f1attering to an audience accustomed to being taken for granted
 Throughout the ride over their heads, the nervous ones felt sorry for her and the others wanted with all their might to put her at her ease to comfort her, poor, little, panic struck kiddie
 To those behind the scenes, but above all to Sally, the silence of the audience spelt their worst fears. Vain shrugged his shoulders and looked meaninglv at Golden, who was gium.
 The velvet curtains were falling. Sally was hack on the stage in her basket about to climb out, every slender limb in tremor.
 Outside a ripple of applause was growing, strengthening, increasing steadily. It continued, persisted, be- came clamorous.
 Then above the thunder of clapping sounded voices, cheers. Amazement seized Vain. Goden's glumness van ished in a grin.
 T told you you never can tell" he said quickly. Send her out again"
 Over the footlights like tidal wave roared the crowds voice. There was no mistaking it's friendliness
 Come out, little lady, we're with you!' 1t said
 Something leapt in sally's heart the ever-ready response in her to kindness. The paralysis thawed by magic from her limbs. She felt the simple, kindly impulse of that crowd, as if it had spoken straight to her.
 As the curtains parted and the oval of rose light again illumined her in her big basket the audience saw great geaming tears in Sally's blue eyes-tears that came as suddenly and as unbidden as thought.
 This time they didn't wait before applauding, but sent up their greet ing rich with friendly laughter and cries. She had no more flowers to throw, but with unstudied grace and feeling she just held out her arms as
