Aadee "Ilstnas h" On . Telephone
 ConscFsattoa Between Mary and
 Pranco Georges
 At the sound of Mary Harrison's voice talking over tho telephone to Prince Georges of Trees whom she knew only a George Jackson. I braced myself for disagreeable task-that of listening in upon her conversation. All of us had agreed that it was vitally necessary to keep track of all the young girls activi- ties until we solved the mystery of her weekly checks drawn to Janet itawdon. and equivalent to the greater part of her allowance from her relatives. the Braitwaites. But I felt d shame faced kinship to my little maid, Katie, whose propensity for eavesdropping has earned her the epithet of "snooper" from my mother-in-law, as l stood at the telephone with the receiver at my ear. tried to look as if I were waiting for a dilatory operator to get my number but I am sure l would have deceived no one who chanced to see me.
 To my relief, however. no one came into the upper hall where l stood and the telephone converse ton was mercifully short.
 Il haven't thing to do," Prince Georges assured Mary after laugh ing amusedly at her slangy query. But I am deeply grateful to you for assuming that l ever think deep thoughts - or any other kind. How can serve you? I am hoping that is the reason for your tele- phone. Do you know this is the first time you ever have so honored me-"
 There was distinct qualification in his voice and I felt sudden annoy ance with Mary. Her chief charm for this fastidious European prince had been her aloofncss - she had made him earn every smile she had given him. In his essential igno- rance of the little ways of American girls. he might fancy that she was becoming romantically interested in him.
 Thanks for the salad dressing" Mary told him carelessly. But don't get 1t into your noodle that I'm perishing of love for you because called you up." she added, with the

BY MINOTr SAUNDERS
 Former New Britain Newspaperman
 Paris. Oct. 20. -Of these celebri- ties who seem 70 go on forever, An nette kellerman of the far-famed black tights demonstrates with per haps the greatest success that she is practically age-proof.
 Putting it briefly, Annette still is in form. That says a great deal. Even at her mature age," what ever 1t is. she has been the envy this year at the popular beach re- sorts of France. and now she is looking forward to new triumph. She has been offered a tempting contract to star at the Moulin Rouge. long a Paris beauty center. and all the contract requires of her is to don those black tights and go through the same evolu- tions that she has featured on the stage for goodness knows how many years.
 The same Youthful Lines In lines of figure and lines of face. Annette expresses the same youth that she did away back yon- der as early as Dad can remember. At the Moulin Rouge the million dollar legs" of Mile. Mistinguette have begun to wobble. but An nette goes there without the slightest perturbation.
 What is it that preserves her classic measurements unchanged? Exercise" said Annette. Beau ty begins with the 'inwards.' You must be fit od the inside to look l fit on the outside. A little work on the bedroom floor will bowl 1 over a ballroom"
 "Nlost Women Are Lazy" After a private exhibition here | she went on: T have come back to Paris from a trip around the world. and I have been asked in almost every 1 language under the sun how l keep fit at my mature age. Women seem to think l have some secrets. Il have only those that l have | often confided to women-stay away from cakes and pies. run away from whipped cream anl rich foods generally, and never shfrk your exercise.
 'The trouble with most women Is that they are lazy and want 10 l bring back their waist line by ly- ing in bed. Pills and ruber stom- ach rollers will never do woman 1 any good. She can save time and money by standing on her feet and bending over. all in one piece, until she can lay her hands on the floor. This should be done about l seventy-fiye times every morning Lit doesn't take long.
 Fifty kitks Over a Chair
 "Another nice little exercise is to kick over a chair. l don't mean to kick the chair over. but to kick over it. first with one foot and then the other. for about fifty times every morning. The best way to remove the tummy' is to lie upon your back and bring your feet over your head until your toes touch the floor. Remaining in this position as long as possible is very good for the circulation generally"
 Asked about the beauty meth- odt of the modern girl. Miss kel- lerman smiled and said:
 woman in this important consid-
 ''Time has not greatly changed eration of her life. Today. as in
 my girlhood. or in that of my grandmother. the problem is to re- tain the lines of the body and keep away the lines of the face. The intelligent modern girl is wiser than her mother and she shows it She is keeping herself more fiji and she is doing it by physical en- ergy and sacrifice of her appe- tite. Ask me what every woman should know and I say she should l know inc ya1Ie 0f eyprciSe

Ambling along in his usual slow way toward the farm of Farmer Brown. Jimmy Skunk stopped to hunt for beetles here and there and now and then to dig out white grub. Jimmy was feeling very good. He was feeling very pleased with himself. Had he not taught silly young dog a lesson? Had he not outwitted the man who had set wicked steel traps for him? He felt that he had right to feel pleased with himself.
 Once he met Reddy Fox. Reddy Srinned at him. said good evening. and went along about his business. Reddy had no desire to quarrel with Jimmy Skunk. A little later he met Old Man Coyote. Old Man Coyote grinned at him. Hello. Jimmy!" said he. You are looking fine. don't know when l have seen you fatter."
 II am feeling fine" said Jimmy. How is the world using you. Old Man Coyote
 ''So-so," replied Old Man Coyote. Just so-ao. You know, Jimmy, any one as fat as you are is very tempting"
 Jimmy Skunk grinned and at the same time he raised his big plumy tail. Old Man Coyote hastily stepped backward. You don't have to warn me, Jimmy said he. You don't have to warn me. I didn't mean anything personal by that remark" |"
 That's good" said Jimmy I'm glad you didn't"
 With this each went his way. each with respect for the other. Jimmy was amused. He knew just how Old Man Coyote felt. There is nothing like being we'll armed for defense,' said Jimmy. Tt certainly does save 8 lot of worry. It doesn't make any difference to me whom l meet, un- less 1t is one of those two-legged creatures with dreadful gun. It is a great feeling not to be afraid"
 Jimmy's course led him along the edge of little patch of woodland. Now, Jimmy should have been on the watch for trouble there. But he was so pleased with himself that he actually had forgotten that there was one enemy he had reason to fear. Yes. sir, he had actually for gotten it. What it was that made him turn suddenly and look up. he doesn't know to this day. He had heard no sound. He had seen noth- ing. But he had had a sudden feel ing that there was something wrong. He was just in time to look right into the great, slaring eyes of Hooty the Owl. the great Horned b"l. the biggest of all the Owls. And Hooty was just reaching for him with those great cruel claws of his.
 Jimmy didn't waste any time. He vent into action right then and there. That little scent gun of his shot a fine spray full in the face of Hooty. It was d good thing for ell 1t was good thing that he acted when he did. The same thing hap pened to Hooty that happened to that dog 10 whom Jimmy had taught lesson. Hooty was blinded for minute. As it was, he alm ost got Jimmy. One Of his great claws tore Jimmy's coat. It tore Jimmy's coat and it hurt
 But Jimmy didn't think about that then. For once in his life he moved quickly. He knew that Hootv unlike the foolish young dog. would not be driven away by that scent. He knew that Hooty. just as soon as he could see again. would be after him. And so Jimmy ran. Then he wished he We're not so fat. In nc

time at all he was out of breath and puffing. but still he ran. Just ahead of him was . cornfield. and the corn had been cut and was standing in shocks. He d0dKed around one of these just as Hooty swooped once more. Hooty missed, for he couldn't see any too we'll yet. Jimmy found an opening among the corn stalks and crept in. There he lay. perfectly still.
