But the shell wouldn't break, not even hammered it for all he was worth. Then he gave the thing up as a bad matter and flew up to his favorite roost in the top of tall pine tree, leaving the egg on the ground. But from where he sat on his favorite roost in the tall pine tree he could see that pro- voking egg, little spot of shining white. When Jolly Little Sunbeam found it and rested on it it was so very bright and shiny that Blacky couldn't keep his eyes off it.
 Little by little he forgot that it was an egg. At least he forgot that he had wanted to eat it. He began to find pleasure in just looking at it. It might not satisfy his stomach, but it certainly was very satisfying to his eyes. He forgot to think of it as a thing to eat, but began to think of it wholly as a thing to look at and to admire. He was glad he hadn't been able to break that shell. Once more he spread his black wings and flew down to the egg. He cooked his head to one side and looked at it. He cooked his head to the other side and looked at it. He walked all around it, chuckling and say ing to himself Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty and all mine, mine, mine, mine Pretty, pretty and all mine"
 Then he craftily looked all about to make sure that no one was watching him. Having made quite surey he rolled the egg over and turned it around and admired it to his hearts content. At last he picked it up and carried it to his treasure house and covered it over very carefully. And there that china nest egg, which Blacky the Crow stole to eat and couldn't, is still his chief treasure to this day, and Blacky still sometimes wonders what kind of a hen laid such a hard-shelled egg.

Little Stories For Bedtime
What Blacky Did With The Stolen Egg
By THORNTON W. BuReE Ess


 ID LACKY THE CROW was puzzled. ND He didn't know what to make of
 that egg he had stolen from Farmer Browns hen house. It wasn't like any egg he ever had seen or even heard of It was a beautiful looking egg and he had been sure that it would taste as good, quite as good, as it look ed. Even now he wasn't sure but that if he could only taste it it would be all that he had hoped. But how could he | taste it when he couldn't break that shell? He never had heard of such a shell. He doubted if anybody else ever had, either. He had hammered at it with his stout bill until he was afraid that he would break that instead of the egg. The more he tried to break into it and couldn't the hungrier he grew and the more certain nothing else in all the world could possibly taste so good.
 But the Old Orchard was not the place for him to work on that egg. In the first place, it was too near Farmer Browns house. This made Blacky uneasy. You see, he had some thing of guilty conscience. Not that he felt at all a sense of having done wrong. To his way of thinking, if he was smart enough to get that egg he had just as much right to it as any one else, particularly Farmer Browns boy. Yet he wasn't at all sure that Farmer Browns boy would look at the matter quite that way. In fact, he had feeling that Farmer Browns boy would call him a thief if he should be discovered with that egg. And then too there were too many sharp eyes in the Old Orchard. He wanted to get away where he could be sure of being alone. Then if he couldn't break that shell no one would be the wiser. So he picked up the egg and flew straight over to the Green Forest and this time he managed to get there without drop ping it.
 Now you would never suspect Blacky the Crow, he of the sharp wits and crafty ways, of being amused by bright 1 things, would you? But he is. In fact, Blacky is in this matter quite like a little child. Anything that is bright and shiny interests Blacky right away. If he finds anything of this kind he will take it away to certain secret place and there he will admire it and play with it and finally hide it. If didn't know that, it isn't so, because it couldn't possibly be so, should think that Blacky was some relation to cer- tain small boys I know. Always their pockets are filled with all sorts of use less odds and ends which they have picked up here and there. Blacky has no pockets, so he keeps his treasures of this kind in a secret hiding place. sort of treasure storehouse. He visits 1 this secretly every day, uncovers his treasures and gloats over them and plays with them and then carefully covers them up again.
 First Blacky took this egg over near his home, and there he once more tried and tried and tried to break the she'll

 II do want you, Aunt Cynthia. Will you come? 1 am older now, I have learned many things. You wanted me different; wanted to change you. We both struggled along blindly miserable when if we had made the very best of each other, given in to each other, we might never have been separated"
 Martha and I arrangd everything, One night wheE Manville came in to dinner l called to him to come upstairs moment. l opened the door of the little dressing room, now Aunt Cyn- thia's sitting room, just as Manville had intended it to be when he altered the rooms. Aunt was sitting in a big easy chair by the south window, a look of perfect peace on her handsome aris- tocratic face. By her side on a stool was Anna and the cat was purring at her side.

 There was little explanation, little was needed. Aunt Cynthia would have her chair in the south window as long as she lived. I might have many vex- atious days because of the invalid, but was willing to even suffer because of the trust and love which Manville gave me so freely.
 We have had our ups and downs, haven't we, Susan?" Manville said to me one night after we had been watch ing Aunt Cynthia through one of her bad spells. But perhaps if we live long

We Women

HNHERE has lately come to my at
 tention that a new species of wo-
 man does, in fact, an in life ac- tually exist. There is nothing of the weak fluttering baby talker about her. There is nothing of the sweet, simple milkmaid about her. The chances are that this kind of woman never saw a COW or farm and thinks milk comes from the milky way. She is a prototype of the cave man.
 She is-lo! and behold !-the Cave Woman.
 She exists and flourishes mainly in New York and has her origin on Broad way. She attends prize fights and re- vels in the sight of gore. In the ex- eitement of a pugilistic battle she leaps stridently to the top of her chair, waves her arms in frenzy and be- seeches her favorite to murder the other fellow.
 She is generally with an immaculate ly groomed and hair-slicked colored- shirt-wearing gentleman of the Great White Way-probably a bootlegger or some such man of affairs who takes as much from the world as he possibly can and gives as little as he possibly can in return.
 The lady with him. of course, is gorgeously and fulsOmely burdened with large and gaudy diamonds. She is snappy but not neat.
 Our Cave WOman's motto is Live and Learn She lives riotously and learns from the prize fights she attends how to fight and lately she has ap- peared on the first pages of metropoii- tan newspapers.
 She draws no line of sex distinction She punches girls and she punches men, But occasionally she is also punched in return, particularly by the kind of man with whom she associates-the kind of man who specializes exclusively in punching women.
 These women do exist I wonder how Mir. Freud would account for them I wonder how he would explain their punch complexes. I wonder, par ticularly, how he would account for the fact that the Cave Woman actually likes to be punched by the blue-collared hero of her heart.
 It seems to me she is throw-back to the dark, prehistoric ages and she should be required to live in cave away from the ladies and gentlemen of this more modern and cultured day.

THYME passed swiftly. The next few

 happy ones. Manville was diff ficult at times, yet often would be so tender and so kind. I tried to forget the disagreeable things which happened and remember only the pleasant. We had made a flying trip to the coast, Manville, Anna and l. He would not stay because of his anxiety over Aunt Cynthia, who had grown very feeble, being confined to her bed much of the time. She was exacting, querulous, and it was hard to get any one but Martha who took any interest in her.
 But while we were away we had q glorious time. Elsa had a lovely home, q fine, manly husband, and two dear children. She said she had been happy always; that her husband had never failed in his kindness toward her. She said it before Manville. When we were alone he reverted to her praise of her husband and added;
 You could not say the same, could you, Susan:"
 "She can have her husband. I am satisfied with mine, just as he is," l parried.
 And I was. loved kim, always had. I was proud of him, ewsn when he adopted the masterful air, which sat so well upon him and which had caused me so much unhappiness at first.

Making An Extra .Frock Little
 Trouble
who have done any sewing

WTOMEN who have done any sewing w for themselves thus far in the season, should know enough to be able to make an extra frock or so with little trouble. For it is the get ting acquainted with ones figure, its size and proportions and the balancing effect of head, shoulders and hips, so that ones clothes can be made to cover up any deficiencies or emphasize any good points that are harassing in the Beginning.
 And it is only through trying to ap- preciate these points in making your own clothes that you will arrive at sat- isfactory results with them, also ac- quire that essential knowledge which makes the choosing of becoming styles safe and easy matter.
 One design is beltless model whose plain front and back are relieved by in troducing a contrasting fabric in a way to achieve distinction. Of figured silk in some gay color, or in black and white, the main frock accommodates a yoke of soft black silk or flat crepe, or satin, which in back is shallow, but in front drops low to effect a bib. The black is again introduced as a flounce across the back of the frock, cut so as to hang straight in the center, but to flare when it reaches the sides. Bands of black starting from the top of the flounce accentuate with flat pearl buttons the side seams to the armholes. A band of the same width weights the boom of he skirt ana counterbalances the shortening effect of the flounce.
