No Two Men
Are Alike

You can't find two men that arr
just alike. When they match at tn
chest they differ at the waistline.
Same chest measurements-Yes-But
one is stoop shouldered, the other
erect, one has high shoulders the
other low. Nature turns out few
perfect men. Men rarely match in
body any more frequently than they
do in brains.
It is impossible to produce clothes
which absolutely fit the body unless
that body is especially studied and
the pattern laid out from actual
measurements. AS long as no two
men are alike, all proper fitting
clothes will be made to measure.
A coat that looks well on man
six foot tall won't look the same on a
fellow five foot six. Patterns that be-
come a slender man look ridiculous on
his fat brother. 1t makes no differ
ence to the tailor whether he sells
you a stripe or check, plaid or plain
cloth, for he has no made up stock, he
is free to give you just what you
want.
You can't afford to overlook the
certain satisfaction that goes with
having your clothes Made to Measure.
They cost no more and the improve
ment in your appearance to say moth
ing of the long wear, is inducement
enough.

1t was a long time before Dannw
Meadow Mouse dared to creep out
from under the great pile Of brush
where he had escaped from Yowler
the Bob Cat. Then he made straight
for home, and he didn't stop until he
got there. He had been gone so long
that Nanny Meadow Mouse had been
badly worried.
TAren't you ashamed OF yourself to
leave me here alone to worry for so
long?" she demanded sharply as Dan
ny entered the doorway under the
stump
Don't be cross. Nanny" Danny
begged. Don't be cross. l didn't stay
away because l wanted to, but be-
cause l had to. I've had the most
terrible time. never was more
frightened in my life, and I'm sore
from my nose to my tall"
Then Danny told Nanny all about
his adventure with Gray Fox and
Yowler the Bob Cat, and how he had
been knocked about in the old rusty
tomato can. My, but it is good to be
home again" he added at the end of
his story.
Then 1 hope you'll have sense
enough to stay home and not go wan
dering about. taking such awful
chances" replied Nanny. III you had
come home with me all this wouldn't
have happened"
Danny knew that this was true, so
he wisely said nothing. For several
days thereafter he was content to go
no farther than was necessary to get
food enough. They saw no more of
Gray Fox or Yowler the Bob Cat. In
fact, they saw no one to be afraid of.
Bob White came around every day
them a visit now and then. They be-
gan to feel quite contented and happy
They saw nothing moro Of their un-
pleasant relative, Little Robber the
Cotton Rat, and they had no desire
to see more OF him.
They had about decided that they
had no other relatives down there in
the Sunny South. when one moonlight
night, when they had ventured lit
tie farther than usual from home,
they unexpectedly came face to face
with a stranger who. at the first
glance. they knew must be a relative.
That he was q member of the Rat
branch OF the family they had no
doubt whatever.
He was considerably bigger than
Little Robber the Cotton Rat, and
quite naturally Danny and Nanny
Were afraid of him. They turned to
run. Don't do that" squeaked the
stranger. II won't hurt you. 1t seems
to me I've never seen you before. You
must be cousins of mine, so let's get
acquainted"
His voice was squeaky, but the

Nanny stopped. He was sitting full

Why Mole Wraps Are Costly.

why" the shopper after beautiful
furs wants to know, "Is a moleskin
wrap as costly as a tiara of jewels,
and good moleskin neckpiece in
the same class as the necklace round
the throat it covers?"
Moles are certainly not scarce, and
never can be scarce They burroY
in the earth and multiply as rapidly
as rats. And they come to the mar
ket by the millions.
But when one considers that it
takes 600 skins to make one small
wrap. and more than 1000 for long
one, the price is not to be wondered
at. OF late years mole has been an
extremely popular fur, and an almost
incredible quantity of these tiny skins
has been used.
Consider for a moment the little
turned up in the furrow by the
plough-boy. Country life is over for
him. and he Is destined for a lady's
evening wrap. The skin is picked,
and in few days Is in the hands of
the city fur buyer. 1t now has to
IL, the tiny particles of flesh and fat
still elinging to the hide must be
scraped off. This is a most delicate
process, as tho moleskin is as fras-
lie as oiled paper, and one careless
stroke may ruin the skin entirely.
This is all hand work, and is done
with the bluntest and smoothest OF
bone scrapers. such as the Indians
used, or a special knife in the hands
of a skilled fur dresser.
Next the moleskin must be cleaned
and topped" They call it top

to dye the edges where the seams
meet; IL this were not done the raw
pelt would show up at each of the

Winter Sandals of Tropical Origin
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Though we pride ourselves on our
own civilization, we cover our feet
after the manner of the tropic zones
OF Asia and Africa.
We fortify ourselves against Win
ter's blasts with fur wraps that
We patter about in slippers modelled
we patter about in slipperws modelled
on sandals designed for the hot
sands of the desert--sandals that
would have been none too substan-
tia1 for Cleopatra, the Queen of
Sheba or Salambbo.
We wear stockings as a concession
to conventional taste, but the shades
still sponsored by fashion are quite
frankly those that give the sugges
tion of bare skin.
The choice of fashionable women
for evening slippers seems still to be
the sandal-that is. the slipper that
is cut down to the sole at the sides.
These slippers are also worn in the
afternoon to the accompaniment of
stockings of the substance of spider
webs. To be sure, there are some
smartly dressed women who insist
on the substantial walking shoe for
street wear Many women wear sport
shoes for everything but evening.
But there are other women. quite as
wen uitSotu anu smart, WIZ prefer
the high-heeled sandal type of shoe

My Neighbor Says:

Photographs that have be-
come soiled may be made to
look like new by washing them
with a piece of white cotton
wadding dipped in cold water.
Do not use colored cotton wad-
ding, and never use soap, soap
powder or. ammonia-just cold
water.
If the roof should leak and
stain your ceiling. cover the
stain with the block magnesia.
Rub the block over the spot
until the stain Is covered. then
smooth over with tips of fin
gers. 1t works like magic.
Pearls and beads strung on
dental floss do not break so
easily as when strung on silk
thread.
squeak rub the hinges over
with petroleum ointment or
drop a little oil on them.
Sew a strip of muslin about
four inches wide over the tops
Of your quilts and blankets.

less as the stars. / would no sooner
think OF altering a house wall than
would OF making a change in the calen-
dar! Probably that is why I so much
admire a certain woman Of my ac-
quaintance who makes new openings in
hen walls as simply and easily as she
moves the bed into another corner and
