out even looking to see if there might
be an unexpected danger there.
Now, Whitefoots home at this time
was in an old stump. The bark had
partly peeled off. There were some
big loose pieces clinging to the stump.
One of these loose pieces covered the
entrance to hole, and in that hole
was Whitefoot's home. Because of
that big piece of loose bark no one
passing that way would have sus-
pected there was hole there. White
foot used to look all about to be sure
no one saw him, then slip under the
piece of bark and enter the hole In
side he had a fine, warm bed, as com.
Portable a bed as one could ask for
Whenever he went out he always
paused behind that piece of bark and
very carefully peeped out to see that
the way was clear. That was the time
he feared the presence OF an enemy.
He never failed to watch out
But on coming home it was differ
ert. Then he merely watched out be-
hind him. and once sure that he was
not being followed he would dart in
side without the least fear
Now, as you know, all the Green
Meadows, the Green Forest, the Old
Orchard and the Old Pasture were
white with snow. There was snow
everywhere Whitefoot doesn't mind
the snow Truth to tell. he likes to
run about on the snow. But the snow
increases the danger for Whitefoot
for it makes it easier for his enemies
to see him. Nevertheless. he likes the
SNOW. There had been several storms
and the old stump in which his home
was was half buried in snow. Also it
was white nearly all over. for the
snow had clunc to the sides, and, Of
use. it had piled up on top.
It happened one moonlight night
hat Whitefoot returned home little
60 her than usual. He had had very
pleasant evening without a single
! scare. and for Whitefoot to 90 through
whole evening without a scare. is
something unusual. So, as he skipped
aIcng on the snow toward the big
stump he was feeling very well salts
fed with the world. He had almost
forgotten that there was such thing
as an enemy. A hungry feathered or
furred hunter, who would like to COB

jump up on the side of the old stump
and scramble to the entrance to his
home when, as he looked up, he saw
something black right where he was
in the habit of slipping in behind the
bark in front of his door. 1t was
hardly more than spot Of black.
Perhaps he wouldn't have noticed it
had it not moved. But it did move,
| and that movement caught White
foot's eyes.
He stopped short. and for a moment
it seemed to him that his heart actu-
| ally stopped beating. OF course, it
didn't, hut that is the feeling White
I foot had. He couldn't move. He felt
as if he couldn't breathe. He was ex-
| periencing one of the worst shocks of
! his whole life. You see, he knew what
! that black spot was. 1t was the tip of
| a tail.

Easing the Shopping.

Sizes are apt to puzzle one after she
has decided on just how many sheets
or pillowcaseS or towels she will buy.
Tablecloths alone come in more than
80 sizes. so that getting the exact
fize ghould be easy when one knows
how. One can also buy by the yard
or pattern CLOTH The advantage of
buying by the yard used to be to get
the exact size desired. but it is I'M
necessary TO do so these days.
Size of tableCloth should depend not
only ON the actual dimensions of a
table but also on it's shape and its
size when opened. 1t is customary To
measure the table closed. unless IL Is
not generally used in that way, anC

THE NEEDLEWoMANs PINCUsHIoN WORN LIKE A WRIST


Pincushions. while not in their hey
day of popularity for bureaus and
dressing tables, nevertheless are in
constant demand. They are an essen
tial requisite for the needlewoman. No
Workbasket or workboX is completely
ntted without one of these accessories.
Travellers find little fiat pincushions
great convenience, especially If they
are as thin as possible. with pins
pushed into the edge, not stuck into
the tops. Kitchens should have pin
cushions. and for this purpose there
are amusing vegetable shapes in color
to accord with the kind of vegetable
represented. And so we could go
through a still longer list of cushions
that are in constant demand 1t is of
but two kinds. however, that | would
speak especially today. One is for the
home dressmaker, and is designed for
convenience.
The second is a dainty doll pincush-
ion that may be used with a peculiar
appropriateness on dressing tables, be-
cause dolls are privileged elements in
decoration this season. 1t is for this
reason that the doll pincushion ap-
peals for boudoirs when other ones
are not looked upon with such favor.
Unique Style.
The needlewoman pincushion is
worn like a, wrist watch. 1t is made to
Mt the workers wrist, and is fastened
either by snaps at the ends of the
wrist ribbon or tape, or with a. button
and buttonhole. Usually the snaps are
preferred, and some workers choose
still another fastening, that of tiny
buckle, for this is even more adapt
able. 1t can be fitted to any wrist,
and SO be used by any member of
family who happens to be doing the
home dressmaking at the time.
The pincushion is of the tomato
variety, though it does not conform TO
the regulation color. Instead, it is

often of the daintiest sort of silk or
satin with threads of heavy silk cross.
ing it from center of back to center of
front, where they disappear under
decorative buttons. The cushion is
fastened to the wrist strap, so that it
comes on top of the wrist and the fas-
tening underneath the wrist.
Bracelet Pincushion.
The convenience of such a bracelet
pincushion can be appreciated only by
those who have once used them. The
cushion should bristle with pins, which
are always at hand without a mo-
ment's search for the usual tray or
other style of pincushion. 1t is par
ticularly handy when fitting garments,
for after arranging seam or other
part with the right hand it is held in
place with the left, and there are the
pins ready for use. Let me suggest
that these bracelet pincushions are
just the sort of things for bazaar
tables and Easter sales
Little Lady.
The little lady pincushion is sought
for its charm before anything else.
But is that not as it should be? For
charm is the secret of woman's fas-
CIhdtloH dpoNe every oInef eIement.
The little lady is of china or bisque
from the waist up to the top of her
head. Her skirt forms the pincushion
and is f1attened ball to the center
top of which the doll part is sewed
through places pierced in the ware for
this very purpose. The skirt should
be as dainty as possible and of as rich
silk as you can afford AS it takes but
little. probably you have some in your
scrap bag or ribbon box that will be
suitable. Many of the skirts are trim
med with rows of lace. Some of the
dolls are in period gowns and others
are in interesting national costumes
or pea SAINT dress

TRUCK LOADING

that the trucks viii be called on for

Whenever possible, he win limit

Overlooking, of course, shortens
