Did tell you about Little Jack
Rabbit and Great Blue Heron in the
last story. little reader? Oh, yes, so
I did. Now that I have placed my
Memory Cap on my head, remember.
Isn't 1t lucky have a wonderful cap
like that? Well, I guess yes indeedy.
But what did the bunny boy do
after he had found the big sky fisher
man birds nest in the Swamp? Well,
he hoped back, along the edge of
the Shady Forest until, all of sud
den, he heard a sweet song,-the
sweetest song of all the bird chorus.
1t wasn't the least bit like the roll
licking song of Bobby Bobolink's that
rings across the Sunny Meadow when
Mr.. Merry Sun is shining from the
sky. No indeed, the music that came
from the dim depths of the Shady
Forest was very, very different. 1t
was like hymn of praise.
At once the little rabbit stopped to
listen, when, all of sudden, little
cinnamon brown bird, about seven
and one-half inches in length, lighted
on the top of the Old Rail Fence.
Lifting his tail, he gave low

minds are questioning.
There must be a reason.
GOVERNMENT REPRESENTA-
TIVE NOT NEEDED

Otherwise sensible people often
ascribe an importance to elaboration
Of phraseology and pomp of cir
cumstance, to a degree that Is al
most II not quite amusing. To such
it doubtless seemed that our coun-
try by its failure to adopt the Will
son plan for a League Of Nations
had thereby denied itself the estim-
able privilege of assisting Europe to
regain its feet. The fallacy in this
demonstrated when trustworthy
American financial experts. General
Dawes and Messrs. Young and
Robinson, took up the problem that
had baffled the foreign financial
doctors and formulated plan
whereby the reparations might be
adjusted so as to warrant the well
fare of the parties involved and
also command the confidence of
American investors supplied with
the funds to which the foreign gov
ernments were looking so. eagerly.
No one has shown how greater as
sistancs might have been rendered
had we belonged to the League.
Indeed 1t may be doubted whether
under that arrangement political in
fiuence, which in this instance had
no part, might not have hindered
rather than helped.
Now the governments Of the allies
are entering upon consideration of
methods for putting into effect the
reparation plan of the American
experts. They have expressed a de-
sire for participation of this country
by an accredited representative of
our government. This is not likely
to be acceded to. neither is there
any compelling reason for 1t
obvious. An American having the
confidence of at least such of the
American public as the allies may
desire to enlist in their favor. one
whose judgment is trustworthy
would be able to render as valuable
service as one accredited by our
government. 1t is possible such an
one would be able to render better
service by reason Of not being a
representative and speaking for the
government. Daily circumstances
are impressing thinking people with
the idea that much may be accom-
plished without the intervention of
a government, done to better ad-
vantage at that.
Secretary Hughes has told the
allies that the United States not
being a party to the Versailles treaty,
cannot enter into such a treaty.
Our Ambassadors, Kellogg and
Houghton, will attend the confer
ence tomorrow, empowered to act
as observers. The need of our gov
eminent participating further is not
apparent.

The conservative notions of the
Britishers received somewhat of a
jolt when the uses and ethics of
advertising were made the subject
for sermons in Westminster Abbey,
Sunday. The appropriateness of
this, however, will be understood by
those who know that it is consider
ed poor judgment to speak other
than the truth in advertising. OF
what other department for using
the printed word may this be said
barring some few editorials, of

age but was not told of the adoption
until she became a young woman.
She says the mother of the half
brothers was Jane Cromwell before
she was married. The boys would
know me by the name of Isabelle

Much trouble is being caused by
the carelessness of automobile tour
lists when leaving and entering this
country in not notifying the proper
authorities. Recently an automobile
was seized by the customs officials
in Eastport because it's owner had
failed to fulfill the requirements of
the law. He had taken the car from
this country into Canada without
properly making statement of ex-
portation. and brought it back and
landed it from a boat several hours
before notifying the customs author

this If he had taken the necessary
steps in the first place and now he
is in no end of trouble.

FASHION is strewing our path with
Il roses this season. Not real roses, but
great gorgeous ones printed on dainty
georgette or chiffon. AS if to surfeit
with an excess of beauty, designers
devised charming scheme of out
lining these rose bouquets with crystal
beads, not allover, but patterning yoke,
sleeves and hemline as shown in the
gown of corn-color georgette with null
ti-colored roses, pictured herewith.
There is every indication that these
diaphanous befiowered creations will
prove summertime favorites. Not only
are there exquisitely delicate shades,
but some of the handsomest are in very
dark, rich colorings, such as deep
toned roses on black, navy or brown
backgrounds. These too, are beaded in
sparkling splendor.
Not only are lowered and gay-print-
ed georgettes chosen for party and
