Blacksnake did wish ono Of them

Mr.. Blacksnako became SO angry he
could hardly contain himself. He
knew that IL those Woodpeckers
should come now, and with all tho
racket going on they would be pretty
sure to come, they would see him At
once and keep out of his reach. The
last thing in the world Mr.. Black
snake desires Is attention from 9TH
ers. He prefers to so about his busi-
ness unseen.
So after darting his head at sev-
eral OF his tormentors he decided
that that was no place for him, and
uncoiling started down that tree. As
glided away. Sammy Jay and the
other birds followed him for q short
distance, keeping up their racket
Mr.. Biacksnake hurried. and when he
does hurry he can glide over the
ground very fast. He kept in the
bushes along the Long Lane SO that It
wasn't easy for the birds to keep
him in sight. Presently he slipped
in under some brush and disappeared.
The birds hung around a while, but
Mr.. Blacksnake didn't even put his
head out. Now, as a rule out of sight
is out Of mind with Sammy Jay and
his feathered friends, so it wasn't
long before they had all scattered to
attend to their own affairs. Mr..
Blacksnake was still dinnerless, but
it was such a relief not to hear those
screaming voices that he didn't mind
going hungry a while longer.

Fabric Plating Business Grows

Can you think of any way in which

making of women's spring clothes?
II you can, then you have an in

French and American, have racked
their brains in the search for ways

There are long and short sleeves of
riaiting-newer than the plated bell
sleeve terminating just above the ell
bow. The lantern sleeve showing
balloon of plating at the elbow is
one of the seasons novelties. There
are many of the so-called Sunburst
sleeves, both on American and French
clothes, and none of these sleeves
could be made without the help of
