Already there were MT. and Mrs. YoWler hunting nightly through the Green Forest, and with two more of these fierce hunters, life would be very hard, indeed for the little people in the Green For st. Suddenly Chatterer wanted to get away from. there. He wanted to get home to his own part of the Green Forest. over near the Old Orchard. at Farmer Browns He wanted to be where he would not be likely to have YoWler and Mrs. Yowicr and these little Yowlers as neighbors. Without thinking, he dug his claws into the wood. They made little sound. In an instant the fierce hungry eyes of Mrs. YoWler were staring straight up into his own.

 "Oh, yes" assented, seeing his plan for restoring his niece's be- lonsings.
 "Well. that's where these are so- ing." he said. You keep her out side on some pretense until l can dash in and drop 'em down there. Then later I can suggest that they might have dropped there"
 Suppose Katie already has looked there" I said.
 I'll bet anything you like, three to one. that Katie hasn't" he said.

Hope springs eternal in the breast of the average woman so far as concerns the development of a beautiful skin.

 Little docs she realize that the CompIe Nion for the most part is d mirror which reflects the internal state of her body.

Perhaps you remember that Chat ttrer the Red Squirrel had escaped from Cubby Bear and from the kit tens of Mrs. Fowler the Bobcat by darttng into a little hole in the eronnd. He certainly was a scared Squirrel. He really hadn't had EAod look at those kittens. He didn't know that Mrs. Fowler had any babies and 50 he really didn't know just who the enemies were who had given him 70 great A fright.
 Chatterer ran along a little under GrcnNd gallery. It was an old gal leFy that had been made by White foot, the Wood Mouse. In places it .waA . little small for. Chatterer, but he could squeeze through, and he did. By and by it led up into an old stump. Chatterer felt better then. Up 1t led until finally Chatterer polk ed his head out of a little hole seV erll feet above the ground. It was good to peek out. It was good to 'get tho fresh air. But Chatterer did no more than peck out. He didn't take any chances. He had had too great.a fright for that. Yes. sir. he had had too great a fright for that. He didn't even poke his nose out any further. than he had to in order to see.
 At first Chatterer didn't see any thing out of the usual. but d mo-
 
 leaves caught his quick ears. He looked in that direction. Then he almost swallowed his breath. There ~aA a kitten. There was no doubt as to what it was. But it was a kit ten with only the tiniest stump of tall Even as Chatterer noted this there was a rush and another kit ten bounced on this kitten. Then oyer and over they rolled in the leaves They pretended to bite. They cusfed each other They kicked with their hindfeet. Suddenly one of of. In an instant. the other was after him. They were playing. Yes. sir, they were playing. lt was rough-and tumble play, but it was rlay just the same.
 They chased each other around the trees. They played hide-and seek. They played as only two kit tens can play. And they played bard. Chatter-r was so interested in watching them that he poked his whole head out. Who they were he couldn't imagine.
 But thattcre didn't have 10 wait 'o"s 10 find out whose babies these r''rt. Out Of the shadows stepped 1irs Yowlsr the Bobcat. You may be sure that thatterer drew in his head hastily. She stretched out on the ground laziIy. all the time fond iy Matching those kittens. T. cy bounced on her. They tumhled over her. They played with her ears They played with her t"i'ching stub Of a tail She rolled them around with her big paws. Now and aga,n she licked one of them. It was plain to see that Mrs. Yowler was very fond and very proud of her babies. aA. of course. a mother should be.
 For . long time Mrs. Yonler and the kittens played together. Then the kittens grew tired and cured up against their mother for nap. She hersef blinked sleepily. Somehow or other. she didn't look the fierc. hunter that Cnatterer knew her 70 be. He thought Of this as he watch ed hev. And then a thought came to him which brought with it feeling

 Paris, Aug % We have been seeing too much of vomens legs. We want to get back to that refined touch of mystery in the charm of womanhood.
 This has been my inspiration in conceiving my new collection. l have made very distinct effort towards a different line: The trend points to much more feminine fashion and heralds the return to the grand tradition of French cou- ture-the tradition which made woman a creature of luxury, gir- ing her smartness and refinement, yet preserving that touch of mys- tery.
 The fashions of the past few years deserve the reproash of hav- ing completely neglected the all- important factor of feminine charm. Short skirts have offond- ed more than any other aspect or the styles. Men of today have be- come bored by the deliberate dis play of the feminine leg.
 Insist on short Styles

I often have noted with great interest how little women in gem eral know what suits them. There are. of course, a chosen few who form that elite known as the we'll dressed women." but the ma jority think that. in exaggerating style. they acquire chic.
