The Town Forest" booklet carries
a foreword by Charles Lathrop Pack,
! president and founder of the Ameri-
can Tree association, who gave i'm
petus TO the movement by presenting
a thousand-acre demonstration forest
to the New York College of Forestry
at Syracuse university. His associa-
ton, incidentally, is unique in that
there are no dues, and the only way
to become a member Is TO plant a
tree and register 1t. And anyone who
asks may have tree planting instruc-

the large phases of the subject The
Town Forest is one OF these phases.
In hundreds of European towns the
citizens receive a little check every
year instead Of a tax bill because OF
town forests. Rather an engaging

Mr.. Reynolds sets forth in one chap
ter that In 1918 a law was enacted IN
Massachusetts providing that cities
and towns might set aside lands for
the express purpose Of growing TIM
Der. That law authorizes municipali-
ties 10 purchase lands or TO accept
gifts or requests for this purpose. A
town may incur debt within the legal
limit, and any town can establish
forest by a two-thirds vote OF any reg
ular town meeting, or city by SIM
liar vote of its council. When a for
est Is established by such official &C
ton the state. through IT'S conservation
commission. will give trees to the town
to reforest the land.
The Massachusetts Forestry associ- !
alton started a campaign OF education |
TO persuade the cities and towns TO |
ACQUIRE forests under the act. In the /
last three years, since the association |
has offered TO plant free Of charge
5 600 forest trees for any city or town .
which will establish forest OF one
hundred or more acres, the idea Is
gradually being accepted.

aside land for town forests or voted
TO do so when the committee could OBJ

than clamorous.
"Such night!' gasped Prudence at
that sudden ringing, thinking that
telegraph boy would have to face the
gale to carry message.
Jerrold showed his chair back quick

intent, alert, as Katie opened the door.
Above the incoherent breathlessness
of her murmurs of amazement, a fresh
voice sounded brightly.
where's mother?"
And Jerry herself, wrapped in her
great fur cloak, a soft fur tam drawn
protectingly low over her ears, ran in
upon them, leaving the maid and the
driver to handle boxes, bags and trunk
as best they could.
"Look who's liere'' she cried, as
she caught Prudence in her arms.
And moment later she went to her
father, to be lifted bodily from her
tiptoes and kissed a dozen times.
"And you'd better help him with the
trunk, father" she said, when she
could think Of it. Its terribly heavy"
Your trunk, Jerry" Prudence was
amazed. did you bring your trunk !"
'Yes, l brought everything" Jerry
assured her gayly. I'm coming home.

Then she kissed Katie, who was has

own. And very soon they were at the
table, three OF them now, smiling

thought for the dangerous icy streets
of Greenwich Village and New York.

And she jumped up to kiss Katie,
thinking she had forgotten her, and
out to the kitchen to greet Mary, but
not needing to go so far, for Mary
was just outside the door, paeping
joyously In upon her. She came
back after a moment. said she was
ravenously hungry, but she did not
eat. She laughed at her mother. at
her father, and presently they left the
table, and Jerry sat In Prudence's
lap-a ridiculous lap-full for slender
rudence-and laughed at her again.
And Prudence showed the few silver
ing threads in her hair, and declared
they would all turn brown again now
that Jerry was home.
And then Jerry went over and sat
sedately in a chair to let her mother
rest. and Prudence tagged across at
her heels. and sat on the arm of her
chair, and told her over and over
again how surprised she was. how she

OUTSIDE the realm of sports wear
not a great deal Of attention is
centered on the two-piece, tailored suit
at present. 1t goes without saying
that it is among those present in the
displays of fall apparel, but 1t has
not been pushed into the limelight as
yet. The ensemble suit, the coat dress
and the two-piece dress have made
some inroads on the popularity Of
suits and the demand is greater for
dresses and separate coats than for
any other garments, just now. Never
