 This is rather case of straining at gnat and swallowing an ostrich. We have already copied the fawn-col- ored riding brooches that the Eng fish wear and the long trousers for dress occasions that our English cousins know as slacks-probably for the same reason that they refer to Magdalen college as Maudlin college and the slits in the backs of the coats that the British find so handy when warming themselves in front of one of their cheery grate fires composed of five Or seven Jumps of smallish coal If these scientific Cosmos club members were to invent a common sense serum and inject 1t into the army the army would be wearing low collars by noon on the following day.

And the more stories old Granny Catfish told, the better all the other Catfish thought of them selves.

 Are you as brave as old Mister Moose who comes and eats out of our lake?" One little kitteen fish asked.
 Granny Catfish laughed, Huh Huh Huh. I should say sol"
 And are you as strong as old Mis- ter Moose?" the little kitten fish asked,
 Huh! Huh! Huh! Granny Catfish replied, ''Very, very much strongerl Huh 1 should say sol"
 Then why do you let old Mister Moose wade in our lake and eat our water plants?" the little kitten fish asked.

DEADLY ARMY CHOCKER
Uniform Coat Is About Worst That
 Could He Devised
Flack pointed his fork rudely

Flack pointed his fork rudely at
 dapper young officer in fawn-col- ored brooches, spurs. and all the other attractive regalia of the army who was striding briskly toward the state' war and navy building.
 Take that young mans uniform for instance. Notice the collar of his tunic. It 1t high and stiff and at times 1t makes the young man feel as though he were being garroted. Not every tailor can make a military tunic, because of the tricky way in which the coat has been cut. Conse- quently 1t Is expensive. Likewise it Is bad for the health; for after per son has worn such a harness around his throat for long time, his throat becomes delicate and subject to coughs, colds, wheezes. the Austra- Han zing, and all sorts of unpleasant affections.
 The surgeon general of the army has recommended that the army stop wearing these chokers and turn to tunics that are cut with the ordinary collars and lapels like those that every civilian wears. He says that the chokers are unhealthful. The inspector general of the army has made the same recommendation He says that the chokers are nuisance The chief of the air service has made the same recommendation He says that they are not safe where aviatLrs are concerned. If the change were affected any tailor could make a uni form tunic, and the price would be

then he said, We won't let old Mis- ter Moose wade in our lake any more!"
 Indeed not!" all the other Catfish cried.
 So that evening, when old Mister Moose came wading into the lake, all the catfish swan up and hung onto Mister Moose's whiskers. They yanked and pulled so hard, old Mister Moose lost his temper and stamped and jumped about, until he mashed all the Catfish into the mud. And when the Catfish finally worked out of the mud, they were all yellow and their heads were flat and that Is the way they have been ever slncem When little Ned Gnome had finished his story, he said, And that Is the punishment the Catfish got for for being so selfish and boastful!'

 Mrs. Bates was awaiting her when Winifred entered the room. The widow never went to bed until she was sure that her charge was all right.
 Have you had a nice evening, Miss Winnie?" she asked now.
 "Yes," Winifred replied briefly But I am tired and sleepy. So will say good night and let you gC to bed."
 There is nothing I can do for you, my dear?"
 Nothing, thank you"
 The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she was again alone. She must understand why she had been almost afraid to hear what Richard had to say.
 A few minutes reflection con vinced her that she had not wished him to tell her that he loved her She had net wished him to do this because she did not know whether she would ever love Donald enough to marry him. One reason Richard did not want to see Muir was that he was not certain that he coulo return the rich mans loan promptly That other reason might be because he, Richard loved Winifred so much that it pained him to witness her guardians air of authority over her Richard was exquisitely sensitive Only a sensitive nature could under- stand him.
 But she was sure she understood him. Lying awake in her darkeneo room she smiled dreamily as she re membered the wonder of that waltz with him. Donald could never awaken such sentiments as this ar tist aroused.
 Yet-which man did she care the more for? The question tormenteo her. She tried to fancy life without . Donald, and wave of Loneliness swept over her. Yet when sne thought of banishing Richard per manently from her presence, hei sense of pity for him was aamos' like a physical pain.
