Well, here's 1924 and many book
agents still at large.
Very few things turned out as
badly as expected in 1923, ut-thii
happens every year.
Let's spend 1924 pulling the hair
of people who had the bad taste to
abbreviate the word Christmas.
One thing we hope for the new
year is that some insurance agent
will sprain his jaw talking.
There will be SO Tuesdays in 1924,
if not prohibited by lay.

that is when. vacations are due.
Five pay days hath November, but
that is when winter suits are due.
This 1924 is Leap Year. The extra
day comes on Friday, which is con-
sidered unlucky for bachelors.
Friday is fish day. Friday, Feb.
20, bachelors will be the fish.

went to her saucer of milk and Tapped
little, but that feeling that something
wasn't just right took away her ap-
petite.
She carefully washed her face, for
Black Pussy is very neat, and then
decided that she would go to her bed
and think the matter over. So she
yawned and stretched and then in a
very dignified sort of way she walked
over to her box behind the stove. She
put her two front paws on the edge of
the box and looked in just as she al
ways did. For just little wee second
she couldn't believe her own eyes.
There was some one in her bed Yes.
sir. some one had dared to curl up
in her bed!
Now, Black Pussy's first thought
was that a strange cat had been adj
mitted to Farmer Browns kitchen and
had taken possession of her bed. Such
thing had happened before, and it
was thing that no self respecting cat
could allow. Right away Black Pussy
lost her temper. She has way of
losing it very easily. 1t was one Of
Black Pussy's worst faults. Because
of it she has got into trouble many
times when she might have avoided it.
lose their tempers easily.
Black Pussy wasn't afraid. No, in
deed. She never yet had met
strange cat of whom she was afraid.
She simply was very, very angry. She
would teach this stranger a lesson.
She wouldn't even stop to inquire what
had brought this stranger there. Ev-
cry hair on Black Pussy's tail stood
on end, which made that tail look three
times as big as it really is, a sure sign
that she had lost her temper. A fierce
glare crept into her yellow eyes, and
like a flash she reached in and struck
with one paw on which very sharp
claw was out to scratch and tear. AT
the same time she spit as only Black
Pussy can when she is angry. She
had quite lost her temper. There was
no doubt about that.
And then something happened. There
was a snarling growl from inside that
box and grayish white face with
black patches on the cheeks and lips
drawn back to show the sharpest OF
teeth was suddenly lifted and pair of
cat ever had face like that
Vow" yelled Black Pussy and
jumped back so suddenly that she
bumped into the stove. which added
to her fright. She scrambled out and
rushed to the closed door. and there
she turned, her back arched, her tail
swollen. trying to appear very brave,
but with look of fear in her eyes as
she watched Bobby Coon slowly crawl
out of her box, HER own box, mind
you, and right in her own home!

WHITE linen frodk at Palm Beach

A WHITE linen frock at Palm Beach
IA recently had an odd trimming that
was unlike anything else as far as APP
pearances went. Now it happened that
a young woman who saw it was of an
inquiring nature MISUNDERSTANDING
inouiring turn of mind, and when one is
so endowded the only thing to do is to
investigate.
She found that the trimming was
made of chints cut into inch-wide strips
one edge only being attached, in twist
ed design such as is used for soutache
braid. The various colors Of the chintz
were intermingled. giving most un-
usual look to the whole thing. Here
a bit of crimson flower was seen, and
near it the bright blue head of a parrot
or another of the motley horde of colors
that make chintzes so attractive.
The frock was said to be great sue
cess, notwithstanding the surprisingly
inexpensive character of the trimming.
