WE have seen that Japan had be-

Germany, her closest rival, with Great
Britain enjoying an equally favored
position while the United States,
France and Russia trailed along in
the order named.
The world war gave japan the OPP
portunity to get rid OF Germany. In
1894, Japan had by war on China
seized Formosa, occupied Fukien
province and made herself a con-
tender for supremacy. In 19O4-O5 she
had made war on Russia, whipped
and taken Russia's place in Man
churia. In 1914-notice the ten-year
periods into which the chronicle falls
naturally-in conjunction with her
ally, Great Britain, she made war on
Germany with the same ruthless dis
regard of Chinas neutrality and ter
ritorial rights that she had shown in
the Russo-Japanese war.

Fashion says that the smart cos

Straw handbags are Of that nat
ural colored straw known to little
kindergarten tots as raffia. Red
leather is used for the binding
about the top and the double
handles. The straw, of course, can
be dyed any shade to match the
costume. Straw and silk purses
come small and flat in the popu-
lar envelope shapes. Sometimes
two different colors-rose, like
gros- grain ribbon, and black straw
are woven together: Gre rib

the same manner to go with hats

are charming for sports wear,

CT OOK how long that log OF
~ wood has burned there,
Foxy Grandpa" said Bobby,
pointing to the fire.
THAT reminds me Of the story
OF Meleager," said.
I'D love to hear It," said Bob
by. and I began.
"Meleager. was the son Of Oneus
and Althea, the King and Queen
of Calydon.
And to this king and queen a
little son was born, whom they
named Meleager.
THE Fates entered the room
where the newborn baby was
sleeping and foretold his life
would end when a billet Of wood
which was burning on the hearth
would stop burning.
"Althea, the queen-mother, i'm
mediately seized the brand,
quenched the fire and hid the
charred log in an oaken chest.
'"Meleager grew to manhood
and was a brave and courageous
man-afraid of neither man nor
beast.
las 1t happened, his father.
Oneus, had upon one occasion
neglected to offer certain sacri-
fices to the goddess Diana. So
Diana, in revenge. sent an enor-
nous boar to lay waste the king
dom of Oneus.
THE boar trampled down all of
the cornfields and vineyards and
terrified the inhabitants until
the kingdom was in a fearful
state of horror.
This was too much for the
gallant Meleager. He called upon
all the heroes OF Greece to join
him in a hunt to destroy this
monster.
ION the appointed day Castor
and Pollux, Nestor and many
others met. Among them was
the fair huntress Atlanta, with
her girdle of FURNISHED gold and
an ivory culver hung over her
shoulder.
Then started the chase.
Aroused by the baying hounds,
the ferocious boar appeared and
trampled down the nearest
hunter. Jason threw his spear,
but it was useless. Nestor had to
climb tree to save his life.
mo weapons wounded the boar
until Atlanta shot one OF her
arrows and stunned him. Then
Meleager thrust his spear into the
Infatuated beast and killed him.
"All of the heroes FASTENED to
the victor, and Meleager chlval-
rously Offered the head and bris-
Ting hide Of the boar to Atlanta.
The Washington times., 1925-04-25

'"The huntress accepted these
trophies, but the uncles Of Mel
eager were so indignant that a
woman should carry off the
honors Of the day that they
snatched them RIDLEY from her.
Naturally Meleager was in
censed at this rude conduct and
forgetting all ties Of kindred, he
slew his uncles.
\"Now as Althea, Meleager's
mother, was going into the temple
to give thanks for her sons vic
tory, she heard Of this tragedy.
Fastening back to her palace
she furiousIy ran to the oak
chest, seized the fatal brand and
hurled in into the fire.
AT the same moment Meleager
was taken with a sharp pain and
died as the log fell into ashes.
Poor Althea was so sorry for
what she had done that she killed
herself in despair.
"Only the sisters Of Meleager
were left and they fell to such
weeping that the plying Diana
changed them into birds called
Meleagerides."
isn't 1t a blessing these
stories aren't true?" said Bobby.

THIS is a question of choice. It

with the beautiful, picturesque
