Chanel Is directly responsible for 1 the vogue Of the bolero. Day frocks by this designer feature the bolero effect in back. and many of the Ismartest evening models show a graceful bolero both back and front. t is Q youthful fashion and one par ucularly becoming to the tall, slen- der figure.
 The day frock skotched today has the bolero bodice both back and front. In place Of a straight effect at the bottom. this bolero is cut O. a diagonal line - a note char acteristic of many Of the new Vionnet models.
 Here is apparent also another feature significant in the new mode-a use of materials contrast ing in both texture and color. The fabric of the dress is navy blue twill. Inset into the lower portions of the sleeves are sections Of whit faille in an interesting modernist scroll design. Faille is also used to face the collar. The only other trimming is a row Of blue and white buttons on one side of both bodice and skirt
 A tailored dress of this type is indispensable on account of its adaptability to so man" varied oc- casions. It should be accompanied by a straight-nne tailored coat and simple, hish-crowned felt hat. Inset sections of white faille trim the sleeves of this navy blue twill day frocI. The bolero bodice lS q smart new note.

Madge's Father Pictures Hugh Grantland as Her Mate.
 For a few seconds I was so dazed by my fathers astonishing statement that l had no words with which to answer him. That he should vision or countenance anything so revolu- lonary as my separation from Dicky was breath-taking.
 But amazement. though almost oVerpowering. was dwarfed by an- other emotion, closely akin to fear, II It were not actually entitled to that name, which swept over me as might the traditional ninth wave of the ocean surf. and left me trem- bling and mutely questioning.
 \ Blundering Explanation
 Had my father any special recent knowledge of my husbands conduct which had led him to voice the sen- timent to which I had just listened? That he had discussed my affairs with Lillian I had gleaned from his earlier remarks, and I recalled that Lillian had been strangely urgent in her demand that I get out into the world and make for myself distinct economic niche, which should be en- tirely independent of Dicky. She had given as a reason for her counsel the theory that Dicky had become too much accustomed to my domesticity, and that 10 counteract his aprecia- ton of Edith FairfaX's cooperation upon magazine, he needed the fil- lip of learning that I could have an absorbing professional life of my own. I knew her strong partisan feeling for me, and her knowledge of Dicky which far antedated my own. Was it possible that she had learned things which made her feel? my father was speaking again. and I put aside my panicky conjectures to listen to him.
 'I know how this advice of mine must startle you, Margret," my father went on. Tt is not that which l would have given you years ago. For many years I held to the old Idea that no matter what crime against love and faith a hus- band committed, his wife must con-

going to start right off this very minute. Good by, Neighbor Chuck. Perhaps I'll see you again some time, and perhaps I won't" Before astonished Neighbor Chuck could find his tongue Danny had run away.
 Danny's way led him across the market garden where he had been finding such good living. It was a very big market garden. for it supplied vegetables and fruit to a town. Crossing that was really a journey in itself for such a little fellow as Danny Meadow Mouse. He travelled just as long as he could. Then he stopped to rest It was while he was resting that he was
New Britain herald., 1926-10-23

Danny Meadow Mouse was jeal- ous. He wouldn't have admitted 1t, but 1t was so. Jealous people never do admit they're jealous. Jealousy is thing that is plainly visible to every one but the one who has it. If Skinner the Swallow hadn't mentioned the fact that there were two strange Meadow Mice living near Nanny, l suspect that Danny wouldn't have been troubled at all. AS it was, he was very much trou- bled. First he became very angry. He was angry with those Meadow Mice for daring to come to live on tho Green Meadows. He was angry with Nanny Meadow Mouse for so much as looking at them. Then he became worried. What if Nanny Meadow Mouse should go off with one of those strangers? Skinner had said that everybody on the Green Meadows thought Danny dead Of course, if that was the case there was no reason why Nanny shouldn't fall in love with one of those strangers. At the mere thought Of such a thing Danny gritted his teeth.
 I'm going home. I'm going home this very minute" he declared. I'll show those strangers that they have no business on the Green Meadows. I'll give Nanny a piece of my mind. Oh, dear! Oh dear me. I wish l had wing"
 Why do you wish you had wings" inquired Neighbor Chuck, who had come up just in time to hear what was being said.
 "so I could get home quickly" replied Danny. Skinner says it is long way there, and however am going to get there don't know. But I've got to\ get there and I'm

Why do you wish you had wings?'
 inquired Neighbor Chuck

| discovered by Mir. Blacksnake. Now MT. Blacksnake wasn't very hungry. If he had been, this probably would be the last story about Danny Meadow Mouse. The fact is, Mr. Blacksnake already had dined. Still, a fat Meadow Mouse is tempting at any time. So, in sort of heart cd way, Mir. Blacksnake started after Danny. Danny forgot he was tired. He forgot everything but the fact that he didn't want to furnish 8 dinner to MT. Blacksnake. So away he raced without looking where he was going. So it was that suddenly he came out in an open place where men and boys were at work gath ering and preparing vegetables for market. At the edge of that open ing MT. Blacksnake stopped. He knew what would happen if one of those boys should see him. So Mir. Blacksnake stopped. He decided that he wasn't as hungry as he thought he was.
 DuI Idlly ultll hilON iAiiS +'ii '. Blacksnake had stopped, On the ground were some big bags filled with potatoes that were to be taken into market. One of these had not been tied up. Danny crept into that bag, in among the potatoes. It was the only safe place that he could see. It was just after he crept m there that a boy came along and tied up the top of the bag. This didn't worry Danny as much as 1t might have had he not known that he could gnaw his way out of that b any time he pleased.
 After a while that bag was picked up and put on a truck with lot Of other bags. Danny was on his way to market. He was on his way to market and, at the same time, he was on his way home. He didn't know 1t, but that was the case It was very fortunate for Danny that the bag of potatoes in which he was hidden was put on top of the other bags. But then, as you have found out by this time. Danny was just naturally lucky.

were forgotten until the day be- fore the wedding.
 Honey Lou was all alone in the flat when she remembered them. It was three o'clock, and she knew her mother would not be home be- , fore six. She had gone with Aunt Lucy to pick out the solid silver coffee service that she was going to give Honey Lou for a wedding present.
 "WelL I've just got to have those slippers Honey Lou said aloud, and she went into the dining room to see if there was any money in the china cracker iar where her mother sometimes hid bills and small silver.
 But there was only a dollar in 1t, One lone silver dollar.
 "Maybe I can find her and Aunt Lucy downtown" Honey Lou thought. They're sure to he in some jcwoIry store or other-Ill so have a looll-soe, anyway" But @ careful search Of seven : iowelry stores failed to find Mrs. 'IIuutIcy anI Aunt Lucy. It was Ealf past four when Honey Lou made up her mind, hopelcssly, that she might as well go home.
 She was waiting for a street car, when someone caught her by the arm and whirled hor around.
 Hello, bride-to-he" said the softat genucst voice in the world.
 And there, smiling at her from under the brim Of gray velvet hat. stood Angola Allen,
 She leaned forward and kissed Honey Lou's firm. fresh cheek.
 "Ycu look worried" she said.
 q am" Honey Lou confessed, with a laugh. I'm going to be married tomorrow. and I've for gotten to get any slippers until just now. And I haven't any mon- ey. I thought perhaps I could find my mother and my aunt down here somewhere, and get some from them" Hor eyes searched the hurrying, jostling crowd.
 To hunt for two women In a crowd like that would be worse .han hunting needles in a hay stack. Especially two women like mother and Aunt Lucy, who ran hither and yon, mad after bargains always.
 I've charge account right in this store" Angela waved her toward shop on the othor side of the street. I'll take you in and you can charge anything you want to me. and pay me latcr,'
 "Oh, would you let me-" Honey Lou's eyes were appealing. Hon estly you'd he saving my life. If you WOu,d.'
 They crossed Nicholson Boule- yard to the little shop. It was the smartest one on the street, and it sold nothing but French things - French blouscs, French hats, French uuderthinss. French per fumes. sandals from Deauville.
 Honey Lou saw the pair of slip pers she wanted. the very moment sha walked into the shop. They stood on the counter inside the door. and thry were white satin trimmed with silver leather.
 "Im take them" she told the salesman who tried them on her small, slender feet, Isn't it a mir acle that they fit mc?'
 They were thirty dollars.
 "Why don't you open a charge account here in your own name In your married name, l moan:' Angela asked her quietly, then you could pay for them after you were married.'
 And so the shoes were charged to "MRS. J. W. WALLACk, Jr.'
