Just a minute later as that hunter
was saying to himself 1T is queer,
but l have a feeling that there is a
Bear right near me, great black
mass landed with a thud right beside
him and frightened him half out of his
wits. Then that great black mass
scrambled to four feet and away 1t
went down hill at a rate that no one
would believe who hasn't seen a
frightened Bear run. BY the time
that badly scared hunter realized whac
1t was. and remembered that he had
a terrible gun, Buster Bear had dis
appeared and that hunter knew that
there wasn't a chance in the world
that he would see SO much as Il hair
of Buster Bear again that day
Such foolish look as there was on
the face of that hunter. He kept look
ing up in that tree as if he half ex-
pected another bear to drop out fit.
or else as if he couldn't believe that
a bear really had dropped out of it
''To think he was right here and I
didn't know it"' he kept saying over
and over. why, if 1 had known he
was up in that tree could have shot
him with no trouble at all, and would
have had that coat Of his for a rug
The old rascal never made a sound
until he hit the ground. He must
nave just let go up there and dropped.
1t is a lucky thing for me that I
wasn't right under him. AS 1t was he
scared me so that I forgot I had a
gun in my hands until he was out of
sight. I'm glad no one saw that per-
formance."
OF course, he meant no other man
or boy. But other eyes did see it ALL
the bright eyes Of Sammy Jay. And
to this day Sammy chuckles whenever
he thinks of 1t. Sammy has seen
funny things, but nothing funnier
than the look of that hunter when
Buster Bear landed beside him. AS to
Buster, Sammy's respect for him was
Increased greatly. Sammy had seen
at once the dreadful situation in which
Buster was caught and he had been
sure that he was about to see the end
of Buster. The instant Buster drop
ped Sammy saw that he had done the
only thing there was to do, and his
respect for Buster and his quick wit
doubled.

Helping Man to Buy Suit.

When q woman goes along with

she wants to be of real service, and
yet frequently doesn't know how. a
particular suit looks we'll in some
not quite clear Just where the

Now there are a number of very
definite things to look for in a mans
suit, the same as there Is in women.

Always outstanding characteristics

or cut away severely. Needless TO
say, the mans build. his personal
preference, and the use for which
the suit Is intended all have a bear
ing on the selection. 1t may also be
single or double breasted.
The number of buttons on the
front is also an important considera-
lion. The conservative business suit
Usually has three. Two or even one
may be the prevailing style, and
usually the fewer buttons the more
youthful 1t looks.
The collar may be rolled, pressed

or open SO low that even the vest

effect desired.
The back OF a coat may be plain,

| other meats are substituted. Let me
suggest that when the cost is Il bar
rier. yet the meat Is very much de-
sired, more stress be given other
courses. Do not serve turkey so
lavishly, but satisfy the appetites with
other good things So that the bird
does for two dinners with a third
| made from the left-overs.
Turkeys Large And Small.
A larger turkey will be needed for
two meals than one, but the proper
tionate price, per meal, will be de-
cldedly less. 1t may be little more
than that of substitute meats. For
family of two. without guests,
| turkey is rather large, and u chicken
is found Il good alternative. 1t is
| well to remember that small turkeys
are actually more expensive than
larger ones. The amount of meat on
| the small bird is out of proportion to
the amount of bone in the carcass.
Other White Meats.
Veal is q white meat" most nearly
resembling the meat of birds and is
advised for turkey or chicken sub
stitute. Stuff the veal, or make
dressing rs you would for the turkey
and bake 1t in the pan with the meat
when 1t is roasting. 1t will brown
and be delicious served in squares
from the platter with the roast.
