Here is one of the most curious
and interesting of all our trees and
shrubs. not Towering in the spring
and early summer as is the common
practice of plants in this hemisphere,
but waiting It'll chill October and
bleak November, when the hills are
radiant with the splendor of autumn
and cold winds are stripping the
trees of their dying leaves, closing
UP in gleeful and festive activity
the passing Of the season of flower
ing, fruition and growth. 1t is dur
ing this season of the withdrawal
of creative life in the plant world
that the witch-haze bursts forth into
its own abundant bloom: the tiny
bright yellow blossoms scattered
along the branches of this shrubby
little tree. now half devoid of its
yellow. fall foliage, instead of being
clothed in fresh new green as would
be expected of plant In its flower

Against the dusk of fir and pine.

Old Mr.. Buzzard had talked too
much. He knew 1t. He felt It In his
bones. Besides, his neighbors made 1t
quite clear to him. He had boasted
that he could fly higher than any of
those man-birds. as the little people
of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows called the aeroplane, which
they saw almost every day. He had
boasted that If he had the chance he
would prove that he could fly higher.
But right down in his heart he didn't
want the chance. You see there was
a doubt there. So it was always a
relief to have those man-birds pass
somewhere.
But one morning one of these man.
birds appeared, and instead or hurry
ing straight on began to swing in
great circles over the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest. 1t was not very
high up and 1t made a great noise. At
once all the little people remembered

tall, dead tree in the Green Forest
which was his favorite perch.

One of the surprises of the fashion
world this year is the persistency
with which the small cloche chapeau
remains : in, favor. Milliners seem
quite obIivious to the fact that other
types might be evolved or that
change in hat fashions might be well
come, for they continue to offer only
close fitting helmet and turban
models. The result is that the unsus
pecting purchaser walks into a mill
linery establishment and finds many
hats designed for the flapper with
close-cropped hair. Knots or coils
OF long tresses simply can't be poked
under the glove-fitting crowns, so the
verdict is bob or be your own mill

@AssANDRA. a beautiful Greek
~ girl of seventeen, has been
sold into slavery because her
town could not pay the Roman
taxes. When the story opens she
is on board q galley, with other
slave girls, bound for the mar
ket. The girl is sitting on the
deck and Evan, galley slave,
speaks to her. He had been put
into the galley for striking his
Roman owner. Evan tells Cas-
sandra of his dreams Of freedom
in lands beyond the conffnes of
the Roman Empire.
The master of the galley comes
upon them and says: rs this
what buy girls for--to have
'em maRled by the scum who
pull my oars2 Get back where
you belong!'
Evan knocks him down, and
members of the crew come to the
masters assistance. In the
struggle that follows Evan and
the galley slaves gain control Of
the ship. The wine Jars are
opened and the slaves, during
the drunken orgy that follows,
set fire to the vessel. cassandra
and Evan jump into the water
but they become separated and
are washed ashore at different
points.

His motto was Keep Clean
But BY keeping clean he did not mean
the usual perfunctory sort Of cleanliness

Cassandra's arms frightened
about the man she held. She felt
stiffening CULVER go over him
like that which lenses a fighting

of the little lamp was on her

shadow, his face hidden against

into the eyes of the officer and
her lips were curved, like a

"They must have seen me enter

His straight brows were drawn
