BEDTIME STORIES
By Thornton

Rat. He was climbing about all over
it with the greatest of curiosity.
Danny and Nanny climbed up into
it They found that the door of the
little cupboard in which they had
lived was still open a crack. Inside
was their nest just as they had left
IL. 1t gave them something of a
homesick feeling.
Il almost wish we never had left
here" said Nanny.
Well. now that you have come
back. why don't you stay" said
Trader. who had overheard what
Nanny said.
Il don't know of a safer place for
little folks like YOU" he continued.
. NO one can get you in here. Most OF
your enemies Will be afraid to come
very near this thing. l don't know
of one that would dare climb up into
1t. You've got a comfortable home
all built here. and it is a pity not TO
use IL. Were I in your place, 1 GER
tainly would live right here"
The more Danny and Nanny thought
this over the more they liked the
idea. Now that that man-bird had a
broken wing, II couldn't fly. Prob
ably it would stay there. In a way it
was home. They would feel safer
there than anywhere else. Traders
advice seemed good The more they
thought it over the better it seemed.
shall we do it?" said Danny
Nanny hesitated. Il would like to-"
she confessed at last
Then that's settled" declared DAN
ny. 1t is the most sensible thing We
can do. We can always leave here
and go back to that old stump If we
have to-
Trader nodded his approval. That
is good common sense" said he.
So 1t was decided that Danny and
Nanny would once more live in the
great an-bird. And when Trader
finally left them they We're happier
than they had been since the great
man bird fell.

Mixing the Styles From China
ny MARY MARSHALL.

1t Is no doubt enough to make any
Chinaman smile to see the extremes
to which we occidcntals are carry
ing what we choose to call the
Chinese mode. We pick and choose
from the details of Chinese cos
tumery without the slightest regard
for Chinese tradition. The hat OF
coolie is worn with the coat or an
.1RIted mandarin, bits of masculine
attire are oddly mingled with details
of women's dress. Our blouses are
embroidered with Chinese characters
which might mean anything, for all
We know.
So might an oriental woman wear
q mans tuxedo coat with u girls
apron and portcr's cap with bits
of upholstery trimming for orna-
mentation. Tho only difference is
that in such a conglomeration of
such occidental attire the effect
would be nothing but ridiculous,
hopelessly ugly. Whereas in some
OF the conElomerations of Chinese
and near-Chinese attire that have
been assembled for occidental women
the effect is harming-doubtless
very amusing to the one who knows
China. but unmistakably attractive.
At best most of us have only the
vaguest notion of Chinese costumery
We make no effort to differentiate
between the costumes of different
sections of China; and Indo-China
which is the section that has been
most important in influencing French
designers. seems to us only vaguely
different from the rest of China. But
it really doesn't matter so far as
clothes are concerned
The important thing is that the
Chinese note. so called. has been
stressed again in clothes worn at
southern resorts, which means that
the great majority of women who
don't go south but who wait to meet
spring in colder climes will see more
of the coolie hat. the mandarin coat
and the other dress devices that are
said to be Chinese. The sketch shows
little costume of yellow and white
fannel i'll the wardrobe of a clever
woman who has gone south. The
tassel trimming of the hat is ar
ranged in an amusing manner sure
to attract attention.

Little Sons Clothes.

Boys will be boys" is the old say
ing; but the truth of the matter is
that boys yearn passionately to be
men,
Particularly is this true in the mat
ter of clothes. If your son is a
little boy still, he'll probably want
to dress like big boy; and if he's
a really and truly big boy, he will
be just as ambitious for the neck
ties. stiff collars and long trousers
OF a groWn-up man. In either case.

Yet there is another more subtle
danger for the shopper-after J.

TO look grOWn-up is impracticable.
do not realize that their own frantic
efforts to keep the "baby'-by dress
ing him in too young ClotheS-are
positively pitiful.
The wise mother will satisfy her
sons wishes, with discrimination
She may, for instance. select suits
that have the pants pockets" for
which small boys have such d great
liking. Her son will like the little
suits with the combination Of light
shirt and dark trousers-such a suit
sonny will think. looks ''like e
Daddy's." and yet it is boyish enough
to satisfy mothers taste, too. Neck
ties, usually priced by small boys,
may cease to be of such great i'm
portance If little sport blouses are
bought for the boy. and presented
with the reminder that when big
men" don sport shirts, they, too. omit
the tie. Or. MILDLY blouses and sailor
suits which have IL lacer may be
accepted as a substitute for shirt
with d real tie."
OF course, you must look for dur

In some ways you are extremely
