her kitchen more convenient after she
had talked with the home demonstra-
ton agent about the improvements
needed. She realized that consider
able extra planning and work would
have to be done, especially as the sug-
gested improvements would require an
expenditure of about $3.50. So Mrs.
Devoe concentrated on her own spe-
cial source of income-her raspberry
patch. From the sale of her fruit she
earned enough to carry out her cher
ished plan. Most of the work she did
herself.
To economic space there is fold
ing ironing board on closet door,
with an electric plug for the iron con-
veniently placed. A drop shelf near
by becomes a work or lunch table
when wanted, but it is out of the way
when access to the flour barrel or
pantry shelves is needed. Mrs. DeSOe
put in a new sink, drainboard and
washtub on the other side Of the
room, a cupboard for china, and con-
venient drawers for supplies and
linen. She has plenty of hot water
now because she put a paper packing
around the tank in the hot water
closet. Everything is painted white.
1t is by such improvements as these
that the farm woman is making her
work easier, brighter and more in
teresting. Extension workers in every
state are pointing the way to labor

1t was a little time before Christ
mas, and Judy dreamed that she was
up in Santa's workshop.
There she saw tables and tables and
tables with half-maGe toys upon them.
She saw huge barrels and packing
cases and toys being taken off. She
saw Santa's huge pack which he wore
upon his back on Christmas Eve as
he went to visit all the boys and girls
in the world.
She saw toys which were all finished
and were standing up by each other
in rows, which hadn't been put away
for the great Christmas season yet.
There were Teddy Bears and woolly
lambs, little pink rag pigs and there
were trains of cars and boats and air
planes. Sc
There were games and balls and
tops. There were sailor boy suits.
There we're whistles and all sorts of
toy animals. There were dolls all
beautifully dressed with china faces
and china bodies.
There were some with rag bodies
but china faces, and there were others
oh, there were so many of all sorts
she simply couldn't look at them ALL
She felt dizzy looking at so many.
And she saw Santa Claus, his red coat
lying on a chair nearby, working for
all he was worth, making toy after
toy, painting one, putting it together,
fixing it so it would be all right.
There he was, his white beard hang
ing way down on his chest and his
eyes-well, she had never seen such
eyes before.
They were laughing! Yes, actually
laughing. She, saw those blue eyes of
his twinkle and-she saw them laugh.
Oh, how happy he looked. And yet
how busy he was. He no sooner fin
ished one toy than he made another.
Goodness! How quickly he worked.
Now he was making-what was it
could it be?
Judy held her breath. This was al
most too exciting!
Yes, he was actually making a doll
the very sort she wanted-a nice
rag doll with painted face, a doll to
hug and love.
Oh, how she would love that doll
Santa Claus was making.
Then it seemed as though the shop

Long Haired Furs rim Coats

The fur coats in the picture feature
long-haired furs used to trim fiat thin
pelts. To the woman who aspires to
be modishly cloaked, they are sure to
prove alluring. The model to the left
is as fetching all in beige as it is all
in gray. However, gray broadtail
with silver fox is first choice owing tc
the fact that gray has unexpectedly
made it's way to the very front color
rank. The model to the right stresses
the beauty of light fur trimmings on
dark, contrast which is strongly fea-
tured this season.
If your preference is for two fiat
furs used together, then vision. if you
will, white caracul coat with collar
of black persian lamb, the revers of
the black fur being that long they
face the front opening at each side
down to the hemline. Speaking of
white caracul, 1t is winning fame in

tweed suits and coats.
A distinctly new method of contrast
ing furs is being effected in this way

fabric-like fur, and is entirely IN.
trimmed. The collar is made so as to
admit of wearing a separate fur piece.
This fur piece may be a sumptuous
twin-skin fox scarf. Then again it
may be the intention of the designer
to complement the coat of supple thin
fur with one of the new fur accessory
sets which have entered so intriguing
ly into the winter style picture
These new fur ensembles, which
necessarily must be of fabric-like fur,
exploit scarfs remarkable for their
novelty. Some of them assume the
contour of odd-shaped capelets or per-
haps diminutive three-cornered shawls.
There's a muff, of course. for muffs

hat to natch-sometime a fur en-

"Oh, hope Santa Claus brings me
a rag doll"
Now the Dream King had sent this
dream to Judy, and it was as real as
dream can be.
But it was absolutely real that
Santa Claus was making a rag doll
and that that rag doll was going to be
found on Christmas morning in Judy's
stocking.
For the Dream King had told Santa
Claus it was what she wanted and
that was why Santa Claus had smiled
so when he had finished making the
doll-because he knew how the doll
was going to please Judy. and how
dearly she would love it.

BELITTLES CRITICISM.
London Press Denies Pact Move Is
Forced by Foreign Comment.

LONDON, September P).-Some
sections of the London press, despite
the categorical denial today of the Brit
ish government. continued to say that
the Franco British naval accord will be
dropped because of criticism it has
evoked abroad.
The London Observer will say tomor-
row: THE Anglo-French naval agree
ment may not yet have been abandoned,
but reports to that effect should be
considered erroneous only in the sense
of intelligent anticipation"
The opinion of the Sunday Express
Is that "the Anglo-French naval agree
n1ent is not officially dead yet but it
soon will be.
THE foreign secretary and govern
ment are out of touch with the mind
of the country" says the Express. THE
English people will not make any pre-
war military or naval pacts with the
French or with any other European
nation.'
It was pointed out in government
circles today that no action on the
naval accord could be taken until an
answer is received from the United
States, Japan and Italy, to whose gov
ernments the proposls have been SUBJ
nlitted. It was recognized that an OBJ
lection from any of these countries
might make necessary some other meth
cd for bringing about an understand
ing on diS2 1rlament.
It was emphasized that Great Brit
ain does not wish to concoct anything
behind the backs of the other coun.
tries. For that reason the proposals
10 which France agreed are considered
as being only tentative.

Storck, who arrived here from Amer

Articles in today's American news

Frances role he added, was that OF
