Smart Granny Fox Isn't Smart Enough

Smart Granny Fox Isn't Smart Enough ALD GRANNY FOX considers her
 self very smart. And she is
 very smart. Yes, sir, she cer- tainly is very smart. But the plans of even the very smartest people do not always work out as they have planned. As she ran just ahead of Bowser the Hound straight toward the place where Digger the Badger was trying to keep out of sight by stretching out flat in the grass she waE nightly pleased with herself, was Old Gfahny Fox. Her clever plan for getting Digger into trou- ble was working out just as she had hoped 1t would. She glanced up at Blacky the Crow, flying overhead, and grinned She was glad, very glads that he was on hand to see what was going to happen. You remembef that Blacky saw Digger the Badger get even with her for making fun:of him and saying unkind things about him. Now he would see her back at Digger, and so she was glad that he was there.
 He laughed at; me," she muttered, ''but now he'll haye4a chance to laugh at Digger. He'll see that. no one can get the best of Granny. Fox, III. show him." f.' .~ She could see Digger lying flat on the ground, trying his best to keep out Sf sight, and her lips curled with scorh. Hes afraid l" she thought, quite for getting the fact that she herself Yas afraid to stand and fight Powsyer. He's scared out of his wits.' <
 When she had almost reachedi Digger she ran faster so as to get farthSf Nhead of Bowser. Then she gathered herself e Nuo1Ik Inne jump indeed, and 1t took her right over Digger and far enough beyond to be quite out of his reach. The mo- ment her feet touched the ground she ran a little way and then turned with smile on her crafty face to see what would happen. On came Bowser, and then, quite suddenly, something hap pened, but not at all what she had ex- pected would happen. No, sir, 1t wasn't at all what she had expected would happen. Indeed, it was so diff ferent from what she had expected would happen that she hardly knew what to do or think.
 You see Digger the Badger didn't behave at all as she had thought he would. He didn't wait for Bowser to reach him. Instead, he suddenly sprang forward to meet Bowser. He was snarling in way that made such an ugly sound that it sent little, cold shivers all over Granny Fox. His lips were drawn back so that he showed all his long, sharp teeth. His eyes seemed to fairly blaze Yes, sir, that's what they did. And somehow he seemed to have grown tremendously all in min ute. He looked almost twice as big as Granny had ever seen him before. This was because his long hair stood on end. Altogether he looked so fierce that it was no wonder Bowser the Hound stopped short and then hastily backed away.
 Digger snapped his jaws together an- grily, and his snarls. were more ugly than before. He stopped for just

The WeU-Dressed Man By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obgaon EUery Occasion
Fashionable Neckdress

"HE Duke of Wellington, upon be-
 holding the English parliament in
 session, exclaimed with soldierly brusqueness, T never saw so many shocking bad cravats in my life. To this day a mans cravat remains pecu- liarly the symbol of his taste, indi- viduality and sense of color. It is the first article of dress to attract or re- pei the eye of the observer. There fore, too much care cannot be bestowed upon choosing ones scarf so that it will be of proper length and width; of harmonious color and of pattern of sufficient distinction to lift it out of the category of the commonplace.
 The recent widespread vogue of the wing collar has naturally brought back the bow-knot, batwing or butterfly tie, as it is variOusly termed according to it's shape. No other form of cravat looks so smart with the wing. The four-in-hand, which is permissible. lacks certain air and types of scarfs such as the OnceOver and Ascot, are only to be met upon the most ceremonious of occasions.
 The butterfly bow, portrayed in the accompanying sketch, is so called be- cause it is cut to resemble the outspread wings of butterfly. It is knotted with a right-and-tight center and fan-shaped ends. The tabs of the accompanying wing collar should be deep and broad to show off this tie to the best ad- vantage. It is often asked whether the ends of the bow-knot tie should be

minute and then ran right at Bowser again. What do you think Bowser did? Why, he gave little, frightened yelp, turned, put his tail between his legs, and ran! Yes, sir, that is just what iBowser did. Granny Fox had hard Swork to believe her own eyes. Bowser actually was running from Digg@c the Badger!
 Hes didn't run far. You see. Digger didn'tS chase him. He was quite con tent b make him turn tail. He knew that it was no use to chase him be- cause this own legs were so short that he couldn't possibly catch Bowser. So, as soon as Bowser turned to run Digger stopped. Bowser stopped and looked back. Digger snarled that ugly sound- ing snarl of his, as much as to say, Come on I'm waiting for you. I'm just aching for fight"
 Bowser parked bravely enough, but he didn't offer to come a step nearer. Then he remembered Granny Fox and saw her sitting open mouthed, and with such a disappointed look on her face. Bowser parked two or three times more at Digger, than ran around in half circle and once more started af- ter Granny Fox. Granny gulped down her disappointment and started off across the Green Meadows, with Bow ser after her, and there was bitterness in her heart. Her plans were all up- set. It was too warm for comfort and yet she had to run until she could fool Bowser with a sharp trick and get rid of him. Worse still, she hadn't got even with Digger the Badger at all. You see, smart as she is, she hadn't been smart enough to think to find out if Bowser and Digger had, ever met be- fore. They had long time before, and Bowser had learned to respect those sharp teeth of Digger's. As for Dig ger, he trotted off home, chuckling all the way, while the h6arse laugh of Blacky the Crow followed Granny Fox as she ran and added to the bitterness in her heart.

New Rules Made For Women
 Smokers
By FLORENCE CLARK

DJ ELOHtGlNSn OA1fAHeh THE American girl has the right to
 smoke, and she has made up her
 mind that she's going to smoke, but oh, how she shivers while she is do- ing it.
 That's what hotel managers have found out, and they are utilizing their knowledge to put lovely woman in her proper place. They have found that one "black look," well directed, will do more than acres of placards to keep her from puffing her favorite weed in their corridors. Precedent That is what the American girl is afraid of.
 As one hotel manager put it, it is the older woman who sets the pace. Moth CTS and grandmothers now smoke n public dining rooms. But they simply cannot be induced oto smoke in hotel Hobbies. The younger ones, aching TOT a smoke, glance furtively about, decide that they will, that they won't, that they have a perfect right to. but what's the use? People will stare so
 The Continental woman, when she visits our shores, is different. She smokes with utter nonchalance wherever she may happen to be-, If passing hotel dignitary were to give her black
  matter with the hem of her skirt or the tilt of her hat. It would never occur to her. that anyone could possibly be questioning the propriety of her smok- ing anywhere, at any time she pleased. Lacking the poise of her Continental sister, the American girl finds herself without precedent to guide her and con sequently she is easily handled by the hotel managers.
 The managers of one uptown hotel says: "NO, we never have any trouble with American women smoking in lob bies. There are few who venture 1t, but they are not numerous enough to present any real problem as yet. We have a few foreign guests who carry their cigarettes into the elevators, but we try to be hospitable to them since they are usually on their way in a day or two. We hope that the Amer ican girl will not catch on to the idea" Another manager feels that women on the whole do not care enough about smoking to make the practice of smok- ing in lobbies and elsewhere outside of dining rooms prevalent. "The ven- turesome youngsters who try it." he says, "do 1t more to shock and tease their elders than for any enjoyment they may get out of it.'
 A survey of New Yorksasels shows that the problem of the woman smoker has caused well-defned regulations to be formed. One hotel, for instance, permits smoking in a room where men and women are served, but in room set aside for the exclusive use of women, it is prohibited. A card underneath the glass table top says so positively" :" This hotel also restraints the cikarette- smoking woman from throwing up her smoke screen in the dressing room for women. If you would smoke in that hotel you need something more than a cigarette and a match. You need a mani
 At certain popular price restaurants women are not permitted to smoke dur ing the day, but the bars are let down at night.

While the brightly colored scarf is no less in vogue today, many women in Paris are wearing a swathe of plain colored tulle around the throat, allow ing the ends to trail. Black gowns with bright jade or American beauty tulle are effective, the tulle often form ing the train.
 It is possible today to get shoes and gloves which exactly match. In a mode shade, the gloves have frilly gauntlets with an openwork pattern faced with white kid. The shoes, in mode suede, have a rosette of this openwork com bined with the white kid, beneath small buckle.

FOUNTAIN IN PORCELAIN
Five Years Required To Complete Polar
 Bear Design

Toward the close of 1923 the porce- lain polar bear fountain presented by the Danish government was erected in the inner court of the Palace of Peace in The Hague. The war and other circumstances delayed the construction and erection of this beautiful work of art, which took five years to complete.
 It was made in the royal Copenhagen porcelain factory, and was designed by the director, Prof. Arnold Krog, who is also the creator of the beautiful por- celain animals which make this factory noted.
 The monument, with it's polar bears and seals, and it's blue tiles. represent ing the waves of the sea. is a great enhancement to the quiet and dignified courtyard: It is one of the largest pieces ever produced by the Copenhagen factory, it's height being 9 feet and it's diameter 20 feet.-Christian Science Monitor.

worn over or under the wings of the collar. There is no rule of fashion about this, but there is rule of fit ness. Naturally, it is the tie, not the collar, that the wearer wants to show. The live color of the silk is more pre- possessing than the dead white of the collar. Hence, the ends of the tie are better arranged over the wings of the collar than under.
 The selection of ones neckdress. in cluding collar and cravat, should be an affair of becomingness rather than style, for what is not becoming is not fashionable. The wing collar and bow knot tie best befit the long, narrow face which gains by width below. They are not so suitable for the round face, which is only "ballooned" by a broad tie. This is the simple sense of neck dress.

public dance halls, all running at full blare every night. The clubs make a pretense of restricting their member ship. At least one has to buy a mem bership ticket Cost anywhere from q sion fee. Then there are public dance halls, which any one not too cOpiOusly drunken, reasonably we'll dressed, and belonging to the free whites may enter. One is entitled to eight or ten dances on his ticket of admission.
 "The closed dance halls we are try ing to get rid of," said censor of the public morals.
 In these negroes, Chinamen, Malays, white men are permitted to dance with white girls. This is offensive, of course, but every one agrees that it is the white man who is apt to be insulting. The men of the colored races treat the girls with apparent difference.
