THE BIRTH OF ORION.

TT was clear summer night.
= We had carried our chairs out
on the lawn in front of my house
and as I gazed up at the heavens
I said:
Look how brightly the con-
steIlation of Orion shows tonight.
(Which is that?" asked Bobby.
THAT one there, Bobby" said
I. See if you can trace the fig
ure of a giant with q girdle and
sword. The ancient Greeks
thought that they saw him."
Just what is a constellation,
Foxy Grandpa?" asked Bobby In
telligently.
"I'Il tell you," ! answered. THE
fixed stars--the ones which do
not move-are divided into con-
stellations or groups. Each is
supposed to resemble something,
like the Great Bear, the Cup and
the Dragon. These names were
given by the Greeks. The bright
est of all is Orion. Remember
that the planets, the sun and the
moon are named after gods and
goddesses. while the stars are
called for mortals which were
raised to the heavens"
Il see," said Bobby. please
tell me about the giant Orion,
Foxy Grandpa"
"Once upon a time in ancient
Greece there lived a poor farmer,
who loved his wife very dearly.
So much did he love her that
when she died his grief was so
great that he vowed he would
never marry again.
BUT unfortunately. they had
no children and when he grew
old he was the loneliest old man
in the world.
Now, as it happened at this
time, Jupiter. Neptune and Mer-
curry one day became bored with
sitting up in Olympus drinking
ambrosia and they decided to go
down to earth for a little visit.
They wandered around and
when night fell they were very
tired and hungry, for it appears
that those gods got hungry just
like you do.

Lewis is showing the sombrero in
lovely soft felt in beige and brown
tones as well as all the pastel
shades to go with the morning
redingote, for, of course, this hat
is worn only in the morning
and perhaps with the severe
taiIleur in the afternoon.
Sorbier makes the crown of the
sombrero a little high and dome
shaped. Trimming is scanty,
sometimes only two stiff quilts or
a leather band and buckle Very
often there is nothing at all.
Straw hats are having a diff
ficult time to outdo the little
felts which seem determined to
win the day of bobbed hair and
short skirts. The women who
are taking their cues from the
men declare they are much more
practical and one is almost in

Mamie turned on him with a
flare of temper. you've got to

you're doing, Dan Murchison-
if you send Zander. away you'll
be sorry-sorrier than for any
thing you ever did in your life
you can't treat little kid that
way and call yourself man"
But in spite of her pleadiag Dan
was adamant. Mamie turned the
battery of her beseeching pleas
on Texas and Good News-no
matter how much they wanted to
listen, they knew this was no
time for sentiment. In the dis
tance came a sound of hoof reats.
Dan turhed suddenly and gripped
Mamie by the wrist.
It's the sheriff; remember YOU
said you wouldn't give us away"
The transition in Mamie at his
words was quick and remarkable.
From a pleading girl she became
triumphant avenger. "The
sheriff" she cried. Now 1 guess
you'll be good-we'Il see what the
sheriff has to say when 1 tell him
the way you've been treating
your kid"
"Oh, then you are going to give
us away?" asked Dan, surveying
her coolly.
Trapped.
Il certainly am" she answered.
I'm going to tell him everything
hell show you where you get
off-take zander away from me,
I guess you won't-I'm going to
take him away from YOU"
Selling little Zander by the
hand, Mamie dashed over to the
door in bold effort to escape
then and thereto get to the
sheriff and tell him everything
before Dan could lock her up in
the bed room-but a great blow
awaited her. Instead of Sheriff

disappointment, she turned to
Dan. She realized now that she
had been trapped. You lied to
me-" she said to Dan. all her
courage gone; you said 1t was
the sheriff just to fool me-"
Dan sneered. He had discov.
cred that he was to expect no
mercy from, Mamie; that she
would welcome the chance to
tell Sawday just what he and his
friends had been doing. 1t was a
case of self-preservation. It was
either Mamie or himself, and
Dan did not propose to let
young girl come off victor in the
battle.

now-you're going to stay right

and trying to realize that this
meant separating her from zan-
