at all. He decided he would see what
it was like under there. So he dug
that hole little larger and under he
went. Black Pussy retreated to
far corner. Then, as Cubby ap-
preached, she darted past him and
out from under the porch, all the
hair on her back and tail standing
on end. Cubby found a hole that Little
Miss Curiosity, the young Woodchuck,
who, you all remember. had dug
there that Spring. By now Miss Gu
rlosity had moved out. She had moved
out and dug herself q new hole over
near the garden. That is how it hap

Cubby at once began to enlarge

left his hole and poked his head out
from under the porch. His little eyes
twinkled as he looked this way and
that. No one was in sight. Over on
the grass were two towels. which
Mother Brown had washed out and
spread on the grass to dry in the sun.
Cubby's eyes twinkled more than ever
as he spied those two towels. "Just
the thing!" thought he. Just the

There was no getting Cubby down
out of his favorite tree. He just
wouldn't come dow while any one
was around. He didn't want to be
caugth and he didn't intend to be
caught. Farmer Browns Boy placed
food down near the bottom of the
tree and spent lot of time watching,
hoping to catch the little Bear when
he came down to eat. But Cubby
was too smart for him. Finally
Farmer Browns Boy took the food
away.

probably come up to the house then
and tease for food. / can't spend any
more time trying to catch you. l have
too much to do"
So Cubby was left alone. He knew
when Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy went down to the corn
field. From up in the tree he watched
them go down the long lane. Then
Cubby scrambled down. He hunted
vainly for the plate of food Farmer
Browns Boy had taken away. Mother
Brown saw him and came to the
kitchen door. Cubby scampered off to
a safe distance and then began to
tease for something to eat. Now
despite all the work Cubby had made
Mother Brown. she couldn't resist the
teasing Of that little Bear. She had

been very, very angry, for you will
remember he had tracked molasses
and sirup all over the house, to say
nothing of having wasted all the mo-
lasses in the molasses barrel and hav-
ing broken several jars of fruit. De-
spite all this, she at last took pity
on Cubby and put a plate of food out
for him. AS he ate he kept one eve
on the door. The instant it opened
even little he would run away. He
was fond of Mother Brown, but he
had no intention of letting her catch
him.
When he had finished his meal and
had licked the plate clean he went
around back of the house. He was
just in time to see Black Pussy disap-
pear in a hole under the porch. Cubby
went over and investigated that hole.
That looked like good place under
the porch. 1t was nice and dark under
there. He could see Black Pussey's eyes

Becoming Colors and Shoes.

Dear Miss Leeds: % Please tell us
what colors we should wear. We have
dark brown hair, brown eyes and bru-
nette compilations. t2) What style of
shoes should one wear to make the
feet look smaller? (3) How can one
remove blackheads in a short time?
BROWN EYES.
Answer-(D If you have an olive
complexion you may wear dull pink,
coral, apricot, bright red, rust. brick
red, pink-lavender in sheer fabrics,
bronze, green, reseda. darkest blue,
ecru. deep brilliant yellow, mahogany,
deepest brown, deep cream, black if
trimmed with bright colors. If your
skin is lighter than olive-that is, if it
is medium-you may wear flesh. dull
rose, peach, red tinged with yellow, or
brown, dull orchid. pink, violet, taupe.
dark green, bronZe-green, blue-green,
dark blue, dull yellow, browns and
warm tans, deep cream and black If
used with bright trimming. (2) Choose
a shoe with short vamp. A low-cut
oxford style is good with one or two
pairs of eyelets. Large feet look larger
in light colors, so select dark hues for
your footwear. (3) Steam the skin
with hot towels, lather it well with
soap. rinse it off and press out the
blackheads. Next bathe the parts with
boric acid solution or another mild
antiseptic lotion and dry carefully. APP

Do you think this would help me gain
about twenty pounds? l am nervous

P. f. G..
Answer-You are ten pounds below
the average weight for women of your
age and height. Keep on taking the
cream. since two weeks is not long
enough to obtain results. 1 feel quite
sure that it is the nervousness that is
preventing you from gaining weight.
You must learn to relax instead Of

selves to us the other day when We
were discussing the itemiZed dress
budget for a college girl No definite
sum of money was allowed in this
budget for scarfs, yet scarfs are every
bit as important as gloves, for which
ample allowance is made.
1t really is very hard not to buy
scarfs nowadays. When ] went out
this morning l really hadn't the most
remote intention of buying anything
and I came home with two scarfs. One
OF them was made of some sort OF
Oriental silk in pongee color with n
charming rambling flower and foliage
design in soft green's and blues. 1t
may be worn without a coat over a
little flannel frock and under coat in
chillier weather.
There are triangle scarfs that are
less bulky than the folded Deauville
scarfs. A young woman we know
brought home from Paris a scarf that
was very much admired by young
friend, who, however. was unwilling
to take the scarf outright. So the
generous returned traveller took the
scarf to the picot shop and had 1t
neatly divided in two by means or
line of picot from corner to corner.
And since triangular scarfs are every
bit as smart as the square sort. her
kindness demanded no real self -sacri-
flee.
Small rhinestones are attached TO
the points of the ruff1e of one or the
most attractive of the evening slips |

shows beneath the hem of the frock.
The effect is really lovely If you
want to make one of these slips for
Yourself or some young friend, send

and will forward you the sketch. dia
