This Is a very interesting family

indicate passing back and forth be-

There Is, of course. the possibility
that the form of Dreifuss indicates
the origin Of some of the variations
in the combination "drei-fuss." or
three feet" but inasmuch as the
names are quite evidently in that
inn and shop signs at some period OF
the middle ages or early modern
times, this explanation does not seem
to be that Of the majority of cases.
The more logical explanation lies
in the combination "reh-fuss" or
"deer's foot The inn or the shop

curiosity even in the middle ages.

would be quite natural and an OBJ

in spite of the fact that those young
Grouse were growing rapidly, and
every day were better able to take
care of themselves, Mrs. Grouse wor-
ried.
1t happened one day that they were
SO busy getting their breakfast that
Reddy Fox managed to steal almost

fore Mrs. Grouse discovered him. Just
in time she saw him. Fox! Fox"
she cried. Those young Grouse knew
by the sound of her voice that they
were, in great danger. Without a
second of delay they took to their
wings. Away they went up over the
tree tops. scattering in all directions.
Now one of those young Grouse
was more tfmid than the others She
was so timid that in the suddenness
of her flight she flew and flew and
flew until her small wings could
carry her no farther. When she came
down to the ground she promptly hid.
At the time the alarm was given she
had been headed in the opposite di-
rection from her brothers and sisters.
She had been the first to take to her
wings. and, of course, she had flown
in the direction in which she was
headed. The result was that when
she finally came down to the ground
again she was a long way from her
mother and brothers and sisters She
didn't know 1t then. nor did they.
But when the danger was past and
Mrs. Grouse called her scattered chill

fear had been realised. OF course,

You will enjoy playing circus with

you do it. Tie two strings to the round
of a chair, as in the picture, close to
the place on the floor where you
play with your Cut-out dolls. Tie
toothpick at the bottom of the
strings for the rod. Now, when you
cut out Burt tomorrow you can make
him hang on the rod and do regular
stunts.
Here you also have the Balloon
Boys basket, which will hang on
his arm If you cut the dotted line
on the handle. Color the basket yell

yellow, with red cherries, and the

The Newest Summer Sweater
BY ANNE RITTENH0UsE.

If your sweater is not sleeveless It
must have the sleeveless effect. says
the open-eyed woman who has fre-
Quented the country clubs devotedly
this summer.
You will probably have bought your
sleeveless sweaters by this time, she
goes on to advise, but IL you haven't,
then it's a clever trick to wear one
of the new sweaters made one, color in
the body and another in the sleeves.
The frock with which you wear 1t
must be like the sleeves, and then
you give the impression of wearing
a sleeveless sweater. 1t Is only when
you doff your sweater. revealing a
sss-veless frock beneath, that 1t be-
comes apparent that your sweater
really boasts sleeves.
To be specific, you may have a
knitted sweater like the one shown
in the sketch-of Egyptian blue body
and white sleeves. Then you wear it
over a white frock, so that the sleeves
of the sweater look as if they be-
longed to the frock. It's a trick. IL
you like, and tricks are perhaps not
good art. but it's rather clever trick
and may therefore be excused. It's
good fashion.
For the most part presented day
fashion steers clear of the tricky de-
vice-the detail of dress that looks
like something beside what 1t is. We
hear less of simulated plaits and stp-
ulated closings and simplated panels
That word Simulated" used to be- a
stock in trade with dressmakers and
the people who wrote the descrip-
tions and instructions on paper pat
terms.
Usually. nowadays. our frocks do
up and undo where they look as II
they did. Once 1t seemed to be the
test of dressmaker's skill to hide by
ingeniously placed snappers and
hooks and eyes. the actual opening
of a frock, though it was quite smart
to place a row of buttons and sim
ulated placket somewhere else on the
frock.
This sweater. by the way. closes
down the front. and the choice of
many we'll dressed women now is for
this type of sweater in preference to
the one that faStens at the side.
There are some with long tuxedo col
lars closing at the front at the waist
line with a single button.
Let's hope that this new FASHION OF
sweaters with contrasting sleeves
won't give the women who knit their
own sweaters an inspiration to use
up odds and ends of yarn-left over
from previous knitting bouts.

In such big family as Mrs Grouse

difference. You remember that there
