most part controlled and guided by
Indian mahoutS. Polybius is quot
ed as saying that at The battle of
Raphia, Antiochus had Indian and
Ptolemy African elephants. These
animals, depicted in Carthaginian
coins, are clearly of the African
type, as shown by their large ears.
The indications are that the art Of
elephant training in those early
days originated in India and WAS
Brought from there to Africa.

where that fat Meadow Mouse lives,

Danny Meadow Mouse couldn't see
the sly wink of Reddy when Ae said
this, but Short-ear saw it. "No," said
Short-ear, II haven't the least idea
where that fat Meadow Mouse is. I'm
waiting for him to come home"
Reddy chuckled. I'm waiting for
him to come out" said he.
Then Danny knew both Reddy and
Short-ear knew perfectly we'll where
he was. He knew that as long as he
stayed there he was safe; but he
couldn't stay there forever Now. If
Short-ear was going to continue to
come every night, and if Reddy
should take it into his head to hunt
him every day, what chance would
he have?
"I want to go home" whimpered
Danny to himself, "I want to go home.
I'm going home. Anyway, I'm going
to start for home. I wonder If that
Man Bird (of course, Danny meant
the airplane) that brought me here Is
anywhere around. I'm going home
right this minute. Just then Short
ear snapped his bill, and Danny
changed his mind instantly. He
wouldn't go that very minute; he
would wait. But he would go at the
first opportunity. Yes, sir, he would
go at the first opportunity. Danny's
mind was fully made up to that.

NV Neighbor Says

Egg stains on table linen
should be soaked in cold water
before sending the linen to the
laundry. The stains are easily
removed when treated in this
way. Hot water "sets" them
and makes them difficult to re.
move.
Oilcloth should never be
scrubbed. If this is done the
paint will be quickly worn off.
1t should first be carefully
washed with a soft brush to re-
move all the dust and dirt and
then wiped with a large soft
cloth wrung out in tepid mot
hot water. If it is very dirty
it may be necessary to use
little soft soap, but this should
be done rarely, and on no ac-
count should soda be used.
When it is dry, wipe with a
cloth or sponge dipped in skim
milk, which will brighten and
preserve the colOrs and give 1t
a polish. After sponging with
the milk dry with a cloth.
A cloth dipped in hot vinegar
and rubbed over a window that
has been spattered with paint
will remove the paint spots.
When plates and dishes have
to be warmed on an oven top or
in an oven If newspaper Is
put underneath it will prevent
cracking.
When purchasing materials
for upholstering purpose avoid
long, loose threads on the sur
face. Select a close weave, pref
erably of smooth texture, and
your furniture will wear longer.

There is nothing so upsetting as
uncertainty. 1t is even true that
sometimes the certainty that things
are going to be worse than you had
expected is better than uncertainty as
to what is going to happen. Danny
Meadow Mouse had been thinking
more and more about Nanny Meadow
Mouse and home on the Green Mea-
dows The claws of Short-ear the
Marsh Owl always reminded him Of
home. He would hear them scratching
on the old log under which his nest
was, and right away he would think
of home and wish he were there.
But, come daytime, Danny always
found something to do, and so he kept
putting off and putting off the idea Of
starting for home. Perhaps the fact
that he hadn't any idea where home
was had something to do with it.
But at last there came a night when
Danny didn't get wink Of sleep. To
begin with, Short-ear arrived extra
early. He took up his usual perch on
that old log under which Danny was
living He had been there only a little
while, scratching the old log with his
toenails so as to make Danny uncom-
Portable. when who should come along
but Reddy Fox. 1t wasn't the Reddy
who lives on the Green Meadows, but
a cousin of his by the same name who
was living down there at the beach.
Good evening. Neighbor Fox" said
Short-ear. ''How is everything with
you?"
Reddy vawned. 80, so, Neighbor
Owl. So, So" said he. I'm getting
rather tired OF fish diet. I've noticed
a lot of little paths cut through the
grass out here on the marsh, and they
have a rather appetizing smell"
Short-ear snapped his bill. "Mouse!"
"Mouse." exclaimed Reddy, and
licked his lips. Danny could hear him
and held on to his tail to keep it from
shaking with fright.
Fat Mouse. Fat Meadow Mousse" "
said Short-ear. and snapped his bill
Danny felt as if that bill pinched him
when it snapped.
Yes. sir. fat Meadow Mouse" said
Reddy. II don't know of any better

when they will not. Moreover, GER
tain purples prove acceptable one Sea-
son-other purples the next. This sea-
son women seem to be extremely open
minded regarding purples. They like
almost every shade of this royal color
or at least there are some women
who can be persuaded to wear any
shade and there is hardly a woman
but can find some shade to suit her
taste, If not her complexion.
There seems to be q sentiment in
favor Of "off shades''-blues that skid
over to the side Of purples or else
toward green-greens that show con-
tact with blues or else with yellOws,
violets that are slightly blush or
slightly reddish. The clear, pure tone
does not have such strong appeal. 1t
does not seem sufficiently sophisti-
Gated. Besides, the clear tones of
green, red, blue or purple, unless
quite dark or extremely pale. are diff.
ficult te wear. They demand clear
skin, vivid or very fair
Eggplant, or aubergine, to use the
French word, is certainly sophisticated

shades. To quote from an advertise

international Interest In
Sports Changes An
Entire Mode
The Formally of the "Roaring Nineties"
Completely Passes

for the dominant features Of the new
mode-tailored, rakish simplicity.
Lenglen's sleeveless frock and Helen's
trim little two-piece outfit were the
beginning. A few days after their
first game the ultra spectators were
wearing similar costumes-then spec
tators and participants the world
over took up the fashion.
In he wake Of the sports frocks
came the sports underthings. The
abbreviated panties, the shorter
vests, the combination step-ins. And
as usual, the first to present the new
fashions to America was no other
than Kayser. They are ever alert to
a new trend. and very wise, too, for
never do they lose sight Of the old
fashioned, high standard Of quality
in this feverish style-mad life Of ours.
In days like these it's a relief to
find something dependable-snd
Kayser quality is the soM Of de-
pendability. Their "Italian"' silk Is
made Of all pure silk and dyed with
pure dyes and the underwear il cut
to fit-not shmped-with the ex-
elusive Kayser "Marvelfit"' feature
that Is further assurance Of longer
wear and better fit.
With the sports costumes, gloves
have come into their own again.
That seems like paradox-but you
never can analyze some Of the
vagrant ways Of Dame Fashion. It's
as much q breach Of all fashion
etiquette to be seen without gloves as
it is to eat with q knife.
These new gloves aren't merely
hand coverings either. They've very
definite styles for every occasion. In
the Kayser fall showing Of "Chamois-
ettes"' every one of the new styles is
included-from the gay, embroi-
dered cuffed model to the one-button,
nonchalant-fitting tailored glove.
s'Chamoisette"' Is certainly a
clever origination. It looks exactly

like kid. feels ike kid and wears like
kid-yet It costs ever 30 much less.
OF course, It is exclusively Ksyser's
so to get It be sure to insist on
"Chamoisette."' In them you will
find the best in style, quality and
serviceability-and the thrifty soul
will appreciate their economy.
Hosiery crept into the spotlight
for its share in fashion honorS by new
shades. Beige shades, flesh shades
and subtle grays all vie for pre-
dominance and seem to share honors
equally.
Here again, Ia style Kayser excels,
introducing every variation Of these
Evening star., 1926-09-28

colors that have been favored by the
smart women both abroad and here.
And here again Kayser combines
style with serviceability. They bring
the same fine quality to the fashion
ing Of their hosiery that they do 70
underwear and gloves.
Every pair is made Of 1000 pure
thread silk and 1o0% pure dyes and
is full fashioned. And one Of the
cleverest innovations is the" Slipper
Heel."' designed to give q eracs Of
line and slenderness to the ankle.
When you are buying underwear,
gloves or hosiery. II you insist on
Kayser, you'll never have to worry
for fear that they're not EmaEt nor
wearable nor economical nor serv-
iceable. THEY ARE.
