Under the operation of law an officers widow is entitled to six months pay following his death, but whether there is any provision as to the manner of death or whether pay ment of the amount of money to Mrs Rickner will be made by the war de- partment is the question in some quarters here.

Are Their "Poses" Real?

There's been a lot of comment
lately on the poses of the various
stars. 1t would seem that we move
in such a cynical age that one can
do nothing. have nothing and think
nothing without being in danger of
posing" Such instances as these
are observed:
They say that It is a pose" with
Barbara lie Mari because she had
adopted baby.
They say that Gloria Swanson's
jealous guarding of her baby's pic
lures is likewise Il pose, as is the
further fact that she has adopted

We are led to suppose. If we take
these allegations seriously. thar Poia
is. or should be, a plain Polish lady
with phlegmatic habits and that her
fierncss. her bizarre and fiamboyant
acCoutrements of person and manner
are all part of a carefully thought
out and rather ingeniously managed
pose"
We are to believe that Mary Pick
ford's simplicity of manner, OF
thought, of speech, are also poses.
We are not to be content with these
persons as they appear to be, but
must needs suppose that they are in
really quite different from what they
appear to be, and are presenting false
faces to o. trusting public Isn't
this all little bit ridiculous7

should they run to? They didn't even
know where that Snake was. They
might run right into his mouth.
Before they could make up their
minds which way to run they saw
him. and then they were too fright

which, as it happened, was just as
well.
Never had they dreamed that there
could be such big snake. Beside
him Mr.. Blacksnake. whom. they

small. At first glance he looked very
much like Mr.. Blacksuake grown
very much bigger. But when the

was Mr.. Gopher Snake. He is also

But Danny and Nanny saw no

couple of fat Meadow Mice. They

10 the ground, as motionless as two
little stones. They were so fright

But Mr.. Gopher Snake didn't see
them. He had seen Salamander. and
now he glided straight for that little
sand pile of Salamander's. Danny

No. sir. he didn't. For moment OF

"I don't" said Danny stoutly. Blu,
do wonder why he didn't go down

Had Danny gone over to that little
mound of sand he would have found
