Lucy Leopard and Beauty.

Freddy Kangaroo. Whatever is the
matter, it's too bad. She always used
to have such sunny disposition"
Mother" said Lucy one morning,
'is 1t quite true that leopard can't
change it's spots?'
"Of course 1t is" her mother an
swered, sharply. And you ought to
be mighty glad of it. Surely no one
in the jungle is more prettily dressed"
Nevertheless, Lucy went out and
rolled about in the mud. She had
read, you see, that darker shades were
becoming to stout people. She came
out of her mud bath gray all over,
but it did her no good, for her angry
mother made her go right down to
the river and wash all the mud off.
A few days later Lucy was down
at the general store of Jungleland do
ing some shopping for her mother.
Along came Gertie Tiger. ooh, let's
get weighed" leased Gertie. She step
ped daintily on the scales and the
crowd that had gathered marked her
weight. Next it was shrinking Lucy
turn. She could hardly believe her
eyes. She had lost nine pounds. and
weighed less than Gertie Tiger.
WHO said spots made you fat?'
laughed old Grandpa Elephant, to
whom Lucy had told her troubles.
Lucy worried SO much about hers
that they made her thin

he'd been over the week end.

kids, both younger than la boy
and a girl. I'd been down there a
couple of times before during this
Winter, and 1 was considerably wor-
ried about those kids. There seemed
to be something wrong somewhere.
They were both scared of their own
shadows. Couldn't get them outdoors
after dark. They were nervous as
cats, and jumped at the least sound.
II didn't think they were natural
towards, and 1 felt there was some
thing queer behind it all. And
found out what the trouble was. They
had a hired girl there who was just

The younger set of Jungleland was
all exciteed!
Here, let me see it"' IT'S my
turn" They were pushing and crowd
ing around something white lying on
the ground.
What's all the excitement over
there2" asked Grandpa Elephant as
he stamped by.
The girls have found a beauty
magazine" grinned Freddy Kangaroo.
Some exploring party passing
through Jungleland just dropped it,
They're all reading about how to i'm
prove their looks. Goodness knows,
some of them need it.
Little Lucy Leopard was looking
heartbroken. 1t was no wonder. Lucy
had been worried for some time be-
cause she was getting fat. Every one
leased her. Even Mrs. Hippo, whom
the graceful Lucy just couldn't stand,
had remarked that Lucy would soon
be in her class. AS for Gertie Tiger,
Luoy's worst. enemy. her smile be-
came broader every time Lucy was
weighed.
Now poor Lucy had just read in the
beauty book, on page Is, advice to
the Stout" that polka dots always
made you appear larger than you
really were. On the same page she
had also read that stripes were just
the thing to keep you looking thin.
Lucy glanced up to catch little
Gertie Tiger grinning at her. What's
that saying about a leopard can't
change it's spots?" she leased. Lucy,
tears in her eyes, didn't answer. She
merely looked enviously at Gertie's
nice, thinning stripes.
WHATS the matter with little Lucy
Leopard? She seems to avoid every
one. She goes around by herself,
looking half sick" said Grandpa Ele-
plant, several days later.

educed to Minimum But Is More Attractive Than Ever

airy enough taste to make a. steady
demand for pure white linen or cot
ton lingerie, finely embroidered or
trimmed with lace. These pieces are
for all the world like the pieces that
women included in their trousseaus
15 or 20 years ago, save that they
are cut on the most up-to-date lines
One exquisite set chosen by a recent
bride was of washable satin with
lace and very fine white embroidery
on the satin.
No one color or tint has 10 all
it's own way in the matter OF lingerie.
Various tints known as flesh are
chosen, season in and season out,
by some women, while there are al
ways women who II left to their own
devices will select undertakings of a
decided pinkish cast. They are
women who would not find a bed
room complete without a rose shade
on the bedside lamp.
Green seems to be gaining ground,
and there are many sets of orchid.
Repellent as the idea Of black lin
gerte may seem to some women,
there seems to be a steady demand
for it, and black pajanas are in spe-
ciaI vogue. A pair Of black silk and
lace pajamas is the highly priced
garment of more than one young
woman.

A Vain Penman.

TT is said that Tomkins. the cele-
brated writing master of st. Paul's
School, in London, was the vainest
of all penmen. Through life he
dreamed that penmanship was one of
the fine arts and that writing
master should be seated with his
peers in the academy. He bequeath-
ed to the British Museum his opus
magnun, a copy of Macklin's Bible,
profusely embellished with the most
beautiful and varied work of his pen,
and, as he conceived that both the
workman and the work would be
darling objects with posterity, he left
something immortal with the legacy
his fine bust, by Chantrey-unaccom
panied by which the museum was not
to receive the unparalleled gift.
When Tomkins applied to have his
bust made the great sculptor gener-
ously abated something from his
usual price, and, considerate OF the
feelings of the writing master, treated
him as a brother artist. This was
undoubtedly the proudest day in
Tomkins' life.
An eminent artist and wit, looking
| at this fine bust Of Tomkins, has ex-
claimed. And this man died for want
| of a dinner" Which remark was in
| a measure true.
The penman had long felt that he
stood degraded in the scale of genius
| by not being received at the academy,
at least in the class of engravers.
| The next approach to academic honors
he conceived would be that of APP
pearing as a guest at the annual din
ner. But unfortunately. the academy
| persisted in considering Tomkins as
| a writing master, and, in spite of many
strategems and remonstrances, he
never received one of the coveted in
yitations.
The vain man never ceased to de-
plore the failure of his hopes and
allowed the disappointment to prey
upon his spirits until it affected his
| health. In spite of everything, the
| luckless calligrapher died without
| having dined at the academy.

wouldn't be back until late that eve-H

do what had planned.
When evening came she returned.
Uncle Porter, it happened, had gone
into town. 1 kept out of sight, SO she
didn't know I was there. Then the
kids got her to come into the living
room, as we had planned. They sat

screeching sound, and then a wom-
ans voice, sounding a long, high wall.

You should have heard that girl

Try These Two "Stunts" to Test Your
Strength.
Strength.

About this time of the year there
are usually somo unpleasant days
which do their best to make us feel
rotten and keep US indoors. Now
these two little stunts which l am
telling you about today will give you
a thing or two to try sometime when
you are wondering what to do with
yourself.
The first stunt consists of trying
to get around the back of a chair
without touching the floor or without
tipping the chair over. For this stunt
I advise you to get an old kitchen.
chair-one that is put together like
the old pig pen on grandpa's farm
and can stand a few bumps, scratches
or falls.
1t really isn't so hard to get around
the back of the chair Gas shown in
the illustration), but you simply must
learn to keep your balance and move
easily if you are going to complete
the circuit successfully. There are
about eight or ten ways of getting
around successfully. See how many of
them you can figure out. After you
get to be really good, in making the
circuit, try to make it feet first
no, it isn't simple.
The second stunt is a bit of a strong
man exhibition. 1t calls for three
chairs, a budding strong man" and
an assistant. The three chairs are
placed as shown. The strong mans
head barely rests on one of them;
his ankles barely rest on the other.
Some one should brace both of these
end chairs.
At the start there Is a supporting
chair under the middle of the strong
mans back, but when he says Ready"
this is slowly glided out from under
him The idea is to see whether the
boy who is on the chairs has strength
enough to support himself by his
head and ankles when the middle
chair is removed.
The whole secret of this stunt is
to keep the body quite rigid as the
chair Is being taken out from under

Things Which Are Of Interest to the You
Mr.. Monk, Jungle Detective.

In a while he woke up and was
furious at finding himself securely
tied up and me calmly smoking my
favorite pipe in front of him. He
said l was degrading the King of
Beasts, but 1 promptly told him he
may have been q king once, but his
reign was now over.
Then he tried to get around me
by promising to come quietly if only
would release him-he said he'd a
tender scalp and couldn't bear to have
his hair pulled. NO" 1 retored
sharply; I'll certainly not release
you-you must think I'm as big an
idiot as I lookr'

1t was hair restorer, along with a
little pluck, that enabled me to cap
ture one of the most hardened GRIM
inals ] ever met.
He was a powerful lion who had
eaten up half the police of Jungle
land without even getting indiges-
ton for it. But 1 waited for him in
a tree top, and one day he settled
down for a snooze at the foot of a
tree. When he was fast asleep 1
poured a bottle of lightning hair re-
storer over his name, and when his
name was long enough I tied the
scoundrel to the tree without disturb
ing his sleep.

quantities of all sorts of alluring
wear.
The lingerie set still consists in
many instances OF chemise, drawers,
slip and possibly nightgown. The
drawers with elastic t the waist
are, of course, pulled on over the
chemise--then comes the slip, and
that Is all there is to il as far as
the young girl goes. Stockings are
rolled or fastened with round gar
ters, feet are slipped into pumps or
strap slippers, shake of the head
and a few strokes of the brush and
the shingled head is in order-and
she is all dressed but her frock.
Compare this with the ordeal of
dressing when high-buttoned shoes
were worn, when a corset. had to be
adjusted and carefully laced every
morning, when corset covers had to
be buttoned and tied into position,
when there were petticoats of sundry
sorts and when a well groomed pom
padour required a half hour of close
attention. Getting dressed in the
morning has indeed been reduced to
the minimum of effort.
In place of the chemise and
drawers found in some of the sets,
some women incline to the chemise
or silk vest"-worn with boomers.
The latest preference seems to be in
favor of a one-piece garment to take
the place of the chemise and drawers,
or boomers. This goes by several
different names. You may call il
combination If you like. The dis
tinct advantage it possesses is that
it eliminates the slight bulk at hips
and waist caused by the drawers or
Knockers. And since the trend of
fashion seems to be in the direction
OF a closely nodded silhouette, there
is good reason to believe that this
one-piece garment will continue in
favor. Just that combination, a slip
and a pair of stockings-and the
young girl OF today is ready to don
her frock and slippers. No wonder
she's waiting for her mother, who
still clings to corsets, brassieres and
numerous other little accessories that
are essential to her peace of mind
and general air of trimness.
