And now the land is infested with
bare arms-bare red arms, bare

Here and there a new long
sleeved frock from Paris has trickled
through and been absorbed into the

with a cream mousseline slip, worn
with black velvet hat trimmed with
flowers. Without sleeves or with
very short sleeves, this frock would
probably strike you as smarter than
with its present long sleeves. These
sleeves are made as part of the slip,
and an interesting variety might be
achieved by wearing a frock Of this
sort with different sorts Of slips. In

Good humor is one Of the prerequi-

My old gardener used to swear hor-

When our resentment at the wrong

his help in finding a place for a new

what Peter would do they laughed

Nanny.

Danny. but what else could we do?

before he remembered that the short

Mouse couldn't possibly keep up with
him. Then he hurried back to look
for them. OF course he couldn't find
