panels with, pockets hidden in

button; others hang loosely from
the shoulders and are wrapped
across the figure and held.

serges. tweeds, reps and kasha
and nearly all lined with crepe de
chine or figured silk. A charming
model seen at the first Auteul
races is in pale beige djersa

and a trimming of bias bands
down the front. The collar is a
sort of big handkerchief of self

a cowboy knot. The sleeves have

the back like the crowns of the

HERE'S FOXY GRANDPA'S STORY

how that little rabbit knows all
the wonderful things we are going
to see don't know.
There we stood, as still as the
bushes near us-in fact, stiller,
because the leaves on the bushes
trembled in the wind. Then it
happened.
Right out of the thicket some
thing came crashing. thought
at first that Bobby was right
and it was rhinoceros, but it
wasn't. There right before our
very eyes passed sixteen great
big Glands. They galloped off
across the plain and soon there
was nothing left but a cloud Of
dust.
They were great big fellows. II
they were an inch tall they were
six feet at the shoulder and Bunny
said they often weighed over 1900
pounds, and that it was n good
thing that one hadn't stepped on

good for after that would have
been a fur mat.
THAT was funny that we saw

not left feeling like an outcast or
criminal. But she was sorry
and she was determined that she
would never repeated the offense.
And what mattered even more
was the fact that no idea of
cheating had been suggested to
the other 30 children in that
class. "A less tactfuI and more
self-religious person would have
published Mary's wrong doing and
perhaps made an example OF
her. But Miss Bruce knew that

And that's why she kept quiet
when she saw Mary cheating.

seemingly. But at the close Of

Mary to collect the papers from
