sight. Then Old Man Coyote stepped
out into the path and looked down 1t
after her. He was still grinning. In
fact, he was grinning more broadly
than ever. For a couple of minutes
he stood there looking and listening.
Then he turned and very quietly
moved on up in the direction from
which Mrs. Coyote had come. Every
few feet he stopped to listen. Off at
one side toward the Green Forest he
heard some one moving through the
bushes. Presently he came to the
place where Mrs. Coyote had tried to
brighten the cubs. His nose and his
eyes told him the whole story. He
knew that the one whom he had
heard moving off toward the Green
Forest must have been Mother Bear

straight home. Rather. he trotted to
his old home and lay down on the
doorstep and pretended to take nap.

grinned behind his paws. You see,
Mrs. Coyote no longer had her tail be-

along in a most unconcerned way. At

that now and again she gave quick
glance behind her. AS she approached
he yawned and slowly got to his feet.

THE WOMAN OF
TWENTY-SIX
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.

Queen Mary of England was 26
years of age when she was married
to King George. then the Duke or
York, who lacked a few days OF being
g. year her senior. Somewhat more
than a year before this. she had be.
come engaged to the Duke of Clar.
ence, the eldest son Of Edward, Prince
of Wales. who was in direct line or
succession to the British throne. The
Duke of Clar~ nee was killed by acct
dent when shooting and, since Queen
Victoria WIS extremely eager to see
the Princess Mary in a position one
day to be queen, she eagerly promoted
plans for the Encouragement OF the
young woman TO the prince next in
line. So il came about that Mary be-
came the wife of George, who came to
the throne after the death of King
Edward VII.
Madam d'Arblay, better known as
Fanny Burney. was 26 when her
"Evelina" was published, though she
always insisted that she was but IL

any formal education whate Fanny
Burney. daughter of an English
musician, taught herself to read and
write. She scrubbed necessarily, but
her stepmother considered writing
dangerously unfeminine," and at Is
Fanny Burney solemnly burned all
her manuscripts. These burned manu-
scripts contained the first draught Of
"Evelira." Later she rewrote this,
and having an odd inclination to see
her work in print, she persuaded
younger brother to sell the manu-
script Of ''Evelina" for her. In order
to keep the transac tion secret, he dis
guised himself In a large hat and
big cloak.
Eventually the book was sold for
about a hundred dollars. and met with
most extraordinary success. This
took place in 1878, when literature
was still regarded as a most in.
appropriate calling for a woman.
Having proved her ability, Fanny
Burney became a general fayorite.

THE OWNERS INITIAL MAY BE
If YOU want to be up to the last

opportunity to use some letters in the

between the lining and the outer ma

the case, whether lined or unlined.
Slipper cases are similarly made, a

Where To Put Initials.
The initials are generally put on
the ample flap of the envelope cases,
though they frequently are put in the

one that this Is the side where the
address on an envelope goes. Initials
in filet crochet may be inserted in

Answer-(D If the prominent hip is

practice Of right posture. Sometimes.
however, when ons hip is higher than
