- A1n/ IL AA'AAA ~ l. " " BURGESS

Winter we are stiff, but if we are we
don't know il"
Il suppose" said. Peter, that you
spend the Winter down in the ground"
Keep right on supposing So" re-
piled little Mr.. Garter Snake, 'for that
is just exactly what we do. Sometimes
we are in the earth and sometimes we
are in cracks in the rocks. Either
place suits us if it is deep enough.
We always try TO get in deep enough
so that there will be no danger of
freezing to death. a lot of us usually
make our Winter home in the same
place. L have n little burrow not far
from where we are right now. 1 don't
mind telling you that, Peter, because
l know you will keep ii a secret"
Peter nodded his head vigorously
and declared that he would keep it a
secret.
"A lot of my family are around here
now This bank here is a very good
Winter home for Garter Snakes. l
and my family have used it for sew
eral years." said little Mr.. Garter
Snake.
But 1 never have seen you or any
other Garter Snakes over here in the
Summer" cried Peter.
II want to know" said Mr.. Garter
L
will see US over here in the Summer.
In Summer we have to eat. In Win
ter we don't. Then we have to sleep.
This is a very poor feeding ground.
but it is a most excellent sleeping
ground. So we spend the Win
ter here. and then when we come
out in the Spring we move off to bet
ter feeding grounds. l suppose you
know, Peter, that l am the last of the
Snake family to so to sleep for Win
ter"
Are you really?" asked Peter.
That's queer"
why is it queer?" inquired little
Mr.. Garter Snake.
Because you are SO much smaller
than some of your relatives" replied
Peter. II should think a big Snake
would stay awake longer than a little
Snake. Do you mean to say that Mr..
Black Snake and Buzztail the Rattle
snake and Buffer the Adder are al
ready asleep for the Winter?"
That's just what I mean to say"
replied little Mr.. Garter Snake, re-
versing himself.
II wish you wouldn't run around
over yourself So" complained Peter.
1T makes me nervous"
I'm just trying all my JOINTS" ex-
planned little Mr.. Garter Snake. cit
is the only way I can do it without
running away, and I don't want to do
that while I'm talking" He looped
himself into figure eight and then
reversed it in the most fascinating
way. Yes, sir. I am the last of the

OpposihS.

"Opposites are attractive to each
other and should marry" the wise
acres tell us. And on this theory
blonde girls marry dark men, talkatlVe
women capture strong, silent heroes
and dashing sheiks WOO and win shy,
retiring violets who have never been
out of mothers sight.
In the majority Of these cases, the
marriages are successful, the oddly as
sorted couples live fairly happily ever
after and everybody Is satisfied that
the old saying is a sound one.
There Is one kind of opposition. how
ever, which seldom makes for happy
marriage. The gay butterfly who
marries a sober stay-at-home fellow
and endeavors to carry him along with
her in the social whirl soon learns
that though opposites may be attracted
to each other, they shouldn't neces-
sarily get married.
The man about town. whose wife
prefers the quiet hearth and book to
an evenings gayety. finds that he
must either give up his dinner parties.
his dances, his weekly show-or his
wife.
Sometimes girls think complacently
that they'll change their SWeetheartS'
rowing ways as soon as they're all set
tied down in the new home.
Katherine thought so. She figured
out that Tom had gone in for the
social stunt so heavily simply because
he hadn't a nice little home and
charming wife to make his staying In
a few evenings a week worth while.
But Tom soon changed her mind
about that. His faVorite remark over
the breakfast table was: by the way.
you know we're dining with the Van
Raesallaers this evening. Yes, | know
they should have asked you first, but
Van just extended the invitation in.
formally to me, and on the spur of
the minute / accepted"
And poor X, who hated the thought
of IL dinner party with dozens of
strange people she didn't know and
didn't want TO know, had 10 nerve her
self evening after evening for an
ordeal which she had never expected
to face.
She loved Tonnes. But her life
with him could not have been called
particularly happy, since 1t consisted
of a series OF social events which took
up all her time and left her not
minute for the things she loved doing.
Bea, on the other hand, asked for
nothing better than to be continually
in the social swim. She loved meeting
people She adored the constant eX-
element of rushing off to some dance
every evening.
But Roger, her fond husband. didn't
see things that way at all. He refused
TO be made miserable because of his
wife's taste for excitement.
And because Bea loved him, she
finally cut out all the gayety and the
mad rush.
But she isn't happy, really-she
mopes at home, wishing Roger would
lay down his everlasting book and sug.
gest their buZzing off to the dance at
the country club.
Get it definitely settled before you
marry either that you'll do the giddy
whirl-or that you'll lead the simple
home life. Don't think you can COM
promise. One or the other of you al
ways has to give In, and that one is
always unhappy.

Shades of Brown Match Pekingese
BY MARY MARSHALL.

All this talk about dogs to match
ones clothes started in Paris Il few
weeks ago when charming young
woman went walking down the Ave
nue. DIES Champs Ulysses with spotted
Dalmatian dog. The lady wore a
white frock boldly spotted with black
and a hat to match. Her shoes and
stockings were likewise of black and
white. Then it became apparent that
other women We're doing the same.
and little later there was dog parade
in the Bois de Boulogne, at which
number OF women appeared dressed to
match their favorite dogs. The brown
Pekingese, the wire-haired fox terrier
and a white and gray bulldog were
among the dogs thus represented.
A dog that ought to be exceedingly
popular this Winter. il this fad for
including ones dog in the ensemble
continues, is the red setter, for the
tones of his silky coat blend excel
lently with some of the new bois de
rose tones. A brindle bull of stalwart
build would so very well with the
masculine looking mixed tweed suit.
Undoubtedly this ensemble idea as
applied to hats. frocks, gloves and
footwear-thouSh of course not nee
eSSarily to doggy petS-lS one or the
best developments of recent fashions.
1t is an oft-repeated rule of present
fashions that hats should always ex-
actly match in color the frock or the
prevailing trimming. To strike
colof not introduced in the costume
would be quite wrong.
And yet as YOU look about you, even
among women who spend a great deal
on their clothes, you see how far from
universal such custom really Is.
You still see brown or boiS de rose
coats worn with hats of violet or petu-
mia shade. You see scarlet-trimmed
froCks worn with hats of the new to-
KAY shade. Doubtless we are on the
right road, but it will take a long,
long time to convince 'vomen of the
Importance of keeping out the color
diScordS in their dress.

you may not. 1t all depends on the

Little Mr.. Garter Snake stopped
running around over himself and
glided away so suddenly that Peter

so 1t was that Peter didn't find little

Moo, can't say they are" Peter
replied. You know 1 don't want to

Snake, but l would like to know the
kind of a place where you sleep all
Winter. Do you make a nice, soft,

L should say not" replied little Mr..
Garter Snake. Did you ever see me

Garter Snake where he was in the
habit of spending the Winter, Mr..
Garter Snake didn't reply at once. He

Her enthusiasm electrified the men.
Under her leadership they drove the
