Pastel Shades
 More Popular
Now Rival More Sophisti-
 cated Black in Style.

New York. Oct. 20. (UP)-The number of imports that were done in tulle and taffeta goes q long way to weaken the conviction that slinky lines alone express the con. temporary dress silhouette even in its most sophisticated form.
 It is inevitable that one should refer to Chanel's black tulle of last year whenever mention of tulle trocks is made. 50 that now. when tulle frscks occur in large and featured series in nearly every re. presentative smart collection, the reference fairly shriks for express sion.
 Tailoring so characteristic of Chanel is preserved and, while 1t is this very quality that does away with any hint of fussiness. the froufrou that tulle usually person- flies. Minarcts, self pompous and ruches of crisp transparent tex ture are now in good standing.
 With the taffetas and erect pils velvet Uyols) there is q different feeling in silhouette. Instead Of the tiers ant minarets of the tulles. which though outstanding and wide. by their shesrneas go no further than producing kind of penumbrA that envelops the very slim founda- ton of the skirt, the sturdier oe these crisp silks, taffeta, moire and velvet go in for huge poufs or ir- regularly shared tunics. In the same breath that oIe remarks these exag- Rerations of the silhouette. usually at the hip as Cheruit does them. ons dares to point cut, too. that there ia still something slim about such . silhouette. This impression is large- ly the result of the long fitted bo- dice and the narrow hemline that is always seen in such skirts. It b worth while to compare the curs rent interpretation of the crisp sil- houette. made up as it is of equal parts of slimnesa and boutfancy. with the classic robe de style that had always been he formula Of taffeta for evening wear, and which, in many cirtles, still holds. The introduction tf Lyons velvet is one of the most significant Ges- lures of approval shown silks that insist upon distenied. piQuant lines for costume development.
 A definite swinging away from black and the high shades for eve- ming wear Is causing tremendous interest in pastel tones, with two outstanding mediums hithhghted. One is velvet in transparent and stiff versions, and the othe- is satin in soft crepe handlinys and also in stiff Interpretations.

 The word "bezoars'' Is generally applied to . collection of material found in the stomach and intestines of animals. Most frequently it con. sists of hair and is called g tricho. bezoar.
 Such hair balls are found fre- quently in the COW, the horse and the cat. especially during the hair shedding season. The material tends to be passed from the body or vomited and in general does but little harm.
 Hair balls have been found in the stomachs of human beings aa a result of pulling hairs and chew ing them, and in the case of one man from chewing hts beard. Al least 116 cases Of hair balls in the human stomach have been report ed in medical literature. Probably there were hundreds of additional cases not reported because new in- formation was not provided to medical science.
 The largest hair ball reported weighed 6h pounds. Until the hair ball becomes 70 large as to block the passage of food, 1t ia not likely to disturb the patient. Eventually, however. 1t results in general obstruction and. in some cases, death.
 In addition to this type of sub stance. permanent masses are found on occasion ir the stomach and intestines made up of in- digestible material. such as the fibrous portions of fruit and vege- tables: persimmon, prune. raisin skins. and seeds, and celery. When these things are insufficiently chewed. or when they are taken in large amounts. they may form a mass in the stomach which is acted on with difficulty by the gastric juice and eliminated only with the greatest of trouble.
 Modern scientific medical diag- nosis discovers these cases with cut great difficulty by the use of the X-ray. The superstitious savages of the past used to attach great value to hair balls and tezoars. using them in yoodooism and in magic.

 Whats the matter with our Katie ?" Lillian asked with a grin as she came out on the yeranda where Katherine and l were enjoying the view of rolling farmlands and mead ows dipping down to the ocean, -girt village miles back. She's scuttling back and forth from the kitchen to the window fn the dining room which commands view of the front gate, with the fear of something burning written on her expressive countenance. And ever and anon, also occasionally, she is casting the most reproachful glances toward you. Madge. Haint you done right by herr"

 ''Then you certainly can be haul ed before a court for inflicting cruel and unusual punishment-isn't that the way the Constitution reads?' Lillian retorted. 'I can't imagine any more fiendish torture for Kate than being obliged to keep her mouth shut when she wants to spill something. But what's she ru.>,ling to the window for?"
 That's easy" Katherine said, smiling. Mary and-young Mir. Jackson haven't returned from their drive yet and katie's afraid they won't be here when she's ready to put dinner on the table"
 If Katie guessed who young Jackson really was,' Lillian said, lowering her voice. mot even a burning dinner would keep her nose from being glued to the window pane until he arrived. Here's hop ing she remains in ignorance until cur royal butterflies flutter back to their fatheriand."
 "You seem very sure they're go- Ing back" I said despondently.
 Lillian put an imaginary lorgnette to her eyes, looked at me intently, then turned to Katherine.

Jerry Muskrat's new house in the Smiling Pool was finished at last. Jerry was very proud of it. But he wasn't bit more proud of it than was Mrs. Muskrat. To hear her talk 1t. you might have thought that that house was her idea and that she had done most of the work The truth is, it was Jerry's idea and ne had done nearly all the work. But Muskrat approve of it that he was quite willing she should take to her self all the credit for it.
 Little Joe Otter had passed along that way and had nodded his ap- proval of the new house. Spotty the Turtle had several times climbed up on the roof and he approved of that house. C Grandfather Frog swan over and declared that it was the best house he had seen since he lived in the Smiling Pool. Rattles the kingfisher said that on his year ly journeys he had a chance to zee many Muskrat houses, but this one was beyond all question the best ever.
 All this vas very flattering and Jerry Musk rat enjoyed it. And then carly one evening came Billy Mink. It was a long time since Billy had been around. As matter of fact, Billy had been taking one of his an- nuai journeys. Billy has the wan dering foot. He likes to take long journeys. But he nearly always comes back to where he started from and is content to stay there for while. When Jerry first saw him, Billy was sitting on the Big Rock. Billy saw Jerry at the same instant.
 Hello, Jerry Muskrat." he cried. Where did that new house spring from, It's a great improveme to the Smiling Pool"
 Tt didn't spring from anywh here, said Mrs. Musxrat. who had joined Jerry just in time to hear Billy. We built it."
 Jerry gave her funny look, for it was Jerry who had built that house almost wholly. 50 We did. my dear" said he. 50 we did
 Billy then plunged off the Big Rock and swan over 10 Jerrys house. He climbed up on the roof and made himself comfortable.
 Where have you been?' in quired Jerry politely.
 "All over." replied Billy, which really didn't give Jerry much in- formation.
 Did you go way up the Laugh ing Brook" inquired Mrs. Musl<ra'.
 Eve been up the Laughing Brook and down the Laughing Brook. I've been up the Big River and down th" Big River. I've been to the pond Of Paddy the Beaver. deep in th" Green Forest and I've visited h." little pond up on the Big Noun tain." replied Billy.

He and Billy get along together pretty well, but Jerry knows that shond hard times come and Billy find it difficult to get enough to eat. plump Muskrat, even an old friend, might be too much Of temptation for Billy to resist.
 we would miss you if you should go away for the winter" said Jerry
