Danny squeaked with fright. for two
black paws had all but landed on
him. In fact, they had landed on his
funny little short tail. Nanny Meadow
Mouse had wanted to squeak. but she
wisely had kept her mouth shut. Just
in time she had seen Black Pussy the
cat. So now, with her heart going
pitter-pat, pitter-pat, she crouched
under the grass and, holding her
breath, watched to see If Black Pussy
would catch Danny. She expected
every second to see Black Pussy with
Danny in her teeth. But Black Pussy
seemed to be having difficulty. She
hadn't caught Danny. Nanny couldn't
think how Danny could have escaped,
but she was sure he had escap ped. She
could tell that he had by Black Pussy's
actions. Don't you let her get you.
Danny. Don't you let her get you"
she kept saying over and over under

You may be quite sure that Danny
had no intention Of letting Black
Pussy get him-not II he could help

Invisible Darning of Some Fabrics
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

for It Is so beautiful. When you think
that shirts in those days had stitches
gauged by the weave you can easily
understand that sewing was an art in
deed. Directions for back stitching on
shirts read lone thread back and two
threads forward" making a contin-
uous line of handwork so straight that
a machine could not be more accurate.
Looking for Darn.
can well remember when I was O
little tot seeing one dear old lady show
a darn in shawl to my mother.
After looking over the shawl with
care, my mother handed 1t back to
the owner, saying she failed to see the
place. Even the worker had to scan
the shawl a bit before she found the
one-time hole. 1t was then held up
before i window to be duly admired,
for it was only in the strongest sun
light that the exquisite stitches could
be detected from the weave of the
hand-loom material.
Stitches Like Weave.
1t Is this fitting the stitches to ac-
cord with weaves that Is the matter
Of first Importance when darning. The
lines of threads must be exactly the
same as the warp and woof or filler
threads of the fabric. The rnending
medium must be of the same kind as
the cloth and identical in coloring. Be-
cause of this, raveling are best to use.
There is no question whether they will
match. They are the very thing itself.
The stitches must be interviewer over
and under each evenly laid thread OF
the warp.
Strong, But Not Tight.
The worker must be sure that the
stitches start in the goods where it Is
strong enough to stand the strain and
will not pull away. In woolen goods
especially the work must not be too
tight. It must allow for shrinkage.
There is a real satisfaction in darning
woolen fabric, however, for there is no
material into which stitches seem
more to melt and become invisible.
Darns in wool on stockings. for ex-
ample. need scarcely show at all, even
when done by one who is more or less
OF an amateur, because of this fact
Darns in silk, cotton and linen, es-
pecially when sheer, are far more diff
cult to make invisible.
Use Short Threads.
Warp threads are stronger than
woof or filler threads and should be
drawn when mending with raveling.
Use short lengths or they will break.
This is especially true OF wooden goods.
1t will be seen that fine darning of
the invisible kind IS far removed from
the darning of present-day embroid-
cry. which accents stitches. not less
ems them. OF the two kinds. the in
visible darning is more difficult and
also more of an requirement.

Keeping In.

1 don't believe in keeping children
In after hours. The school day is long
enough for any child to accomplish
his work, and IL he has not done 1t,
assign 1t for another time, have a
period especially for the stragglers

delightful thing because their work is

and by 1 discovered that we could get
exactly as much done, and more, by
sticking to schedule time.
A child needs to play an hour or 80
between $3.50 and $50. His lungs need
sweeping out, his blood needs to rush
along a bit faster, his muscles,
cramped by long sitting or long mac
tiv1ty, need to be used freely. The
open air is a necessity for the chill

am speaking about elementary
school children who miss lessons and
have to stay In. High school students
are self-directing in the matter of
study and. of course, are not kept in.
Mothers are looking for children to
come home at q certain time and they
suffer great strain IL the children are
delayed. In case a teacher feels that
she must delay a child after hours,
II Is her duty to let the mother know
that she has made this change in the
days schedule. Mothers have plans
and schedules, too, and often detain-

there is no particular hurry about

Peter Rabbit looked up. Then, with
out even stopping to say goodbye,
away he ran. You see. Farmer Browns :

apologized but they didn't hear him.
You poor little scamps." said he.
Were YOU living under there? I'm
sorry to give you such a fright" Then
he looked very carefully to see If
there was a nest. OF course, there
wasn't a nest, and then he concluded
that they weren't living under that
board at all. but were Just hiding
there. He went whistling up the
Long Lane and on his shoulder he
carried the board.

Van SWeringens D en- y
Charges Made BY Minors
ty Stockholders

Special denial that they are act
ing improperly as interlock1ng al
rectors of the Chesapeake and ONO
and Hooking Valley Railroads was
made to the Interstate Commerce
Commission today by 0. P. and M.
u. Van Sweringen. Their denial
was in the form of an answer 70
the petition OF the George Scott
Cole minority group OF Chesapeake
and Ohio stockholders who are op-
posing the Van Sweringen Nickel
Plate merger, asking the commits
sion to reopen the case wherein the
Van Sweringens, j. j. Bernet. j.
r. Mutt and w. A. Celston were
authorized to serve as interlocking
directors Of the two roads.
The Van SweringenS set forth
that none Of the protesting minority
stockholders were owners OF 1900
shares OF common stock OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio when the
Commission authorized them and
their associates to hold interlocking
directorships.
They asserted that although they
had bought substantially 80 per
cent Of the outstanding stock Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, that road
and the Hooking Valley. were opera
ted under substantially the same
management, but the fiscal affairs
of the two roads were not merged
or consolidated into single treas
ury.
The Van Sweringens denied the
allegation of the minority group
that the majority of the board OF
directors OF the two roads ARE
subordinate to the will and subject
to the direction or the Van Swerin-
gems or that their actions are in
any way controlled in derogation of
the interests of . the stockholders
whom they represent
Denial also was made that the
executive officers and directors o
the two roads have "abdicated their,
duties and functions as such or
have disregarded the obligation inn
posed upon them as agents and
fiduciaries of the said railroads.
