they had hoped to catch. Now, with
Jimmy Skunk there, how could they
possibly catch one of the others? They
couldn't and they knew they couldn't.
Mrs. Reddy had lost her temper and
presently Reddy lost his.
Reddy drew nearer He showed all his
teeth in an ugly snarl. II have more

he growled.
'aTry it, do try it," replied Jimmy
Skunk pleasantly, and that big plume
of tail of his stood up almost straight.
At the first movement of that tail
Reddy backed away hastily. All his
courage vanished. You see, Jimmy
Skunk's tail is signal flag, and all

holding it then it was a warning to
be needed Johnny Chuck laughed
right out, which, of course, made Reddy
more angry than ever.
Jimmy had been much surprised to
find Jerry and Mrs. NIuSkrat up there
in the carrot-patch, SO he inquired how
they happened to be there. They told
him how they had been flooded out

'Well, why don't you go?" inquired
Jimmy.

Nancy's Aunt Julia was shocked when

If 1 were Louiseboulanger, Vionnet
or Jeanne Lanvin I'd provide one of
my new full-skirted evening frocks
with an old-fashioned pocket. It would
be one of the deep pouch pockets that
used to be set between the side cores
on the right sides of women's skirts.
There surely is room enough in the new
full skirts to hide such pocket and
to have such an old-fashioned pocket

Amusing.
Pockets have been revived this sea-
son, but so far as 1 know they are never
pockets of this sort and they do not
appear in evening or afternoon frocks,
but on sports frocks and tailored suits.
AS pockets they don't amount to much
because one would hesitate about using
them lest the bulk of even small
