As the words "k. seyen.' came simultaneously from the lips Of my father, Lillian and Allen Drake, l realized that they just had made a discovery most astounding to them It takes something most eAtraordi- nary to jolt the composure of any one of the three agents of the diplomatic secret service but some- thing in the appearance of the packet which I had brought them from the red-bearded man f,rd np- set their usual poise.
 It was my father who realized first that their exclamation and their excitement were uninteliigible 10 me. With his fingers already rip ping the cover from the packet, he stopped and held it out to ms.
 Look, dear. in the corner'' he said.
 My eyes followed his pointing finger and saw tiny but remark ably we'll executed sketch of mon- Erel dog holding up one paw as if lame. The next second, Allen Drake's hand clasping a pencil, showed me where the characters TX. seven" were cleverls hidden in the lines depicting the hurt paw.
 "'K. seven is one of the mysteries ot our service" my father said. He plays a lone hand. is not connected al nobody has the slightest clue to his identity But whenever anything threading the government is on the tapis, sooner or later we receive a communication from K. seven,' which helps us infinitely.

 Paris May 5.-Whereas Nelvets figure for a large part in any winter collection, until quite a short time ago they were wont to disappear when summer came. As far as sum mer evening wraps are concerned. however, always was partisan Of velvet and always shall be.
 Velvet, together with lame, are the only two mediums 10 use, From the point of view of richness of ap- pearance. I consider them equal. Many women, as a. matter of fact, find it difficult to choose between these two materials. Some prefer lame. because it is glittering, scintil- lating and perhaps looks more opu- lent. Others prefer velvet as softer. more becoming to both face and fig ure.
 Likes Artificial velvets If, on principle, think silk vel vet is the only possible velvet to use for winter afternoon wear, ] have to admit that such great strides have been made in the manufacture Of ar tificial velvets as, to reconcile me to 1 its use.
 Nowadays most of my evening wraps for the summer are of arti- ficial velvet. It has reached such a point of suppleness and beauty of coloring that all the models created with it have been source Of great ga atisfa ction to me.

It vas night Old Mir. Toad wss once more astir. He had dug his way out and he was headed toward the Smiling Pool. A mighty urge drove him on. He knew that he couldn't be happy until he reached the Smiling Pool. He no longer had the feeling that MT. Blacksna6e was somewhere near. In fact, he didn't have room for any feeling save the feeling that he must get down there in the water as soon as possible. The nearer he got, the faster he hopped. Hop -hop- -hippety-h went Old Hr. Toad. And when he reached tho edge of the Smiling Pool he hopped right in.
 Now, there was a mighty chorus rising from the Smiling Pool. Peeper the Hyla and all his broth- CTS and sisters and aunts and un- cies and cousins were singing with all their might. Stickytoes the Tree Toad and all his brothers and sis tera and aunts and nnclcs and cou sins were singing, also. It didn't seem as if one more could possibly make any difference.
 But when Old Mir. Toad had re- covered his breath he began to blow out his music bag in his throat. l wish you could have seen if swell, It went out and out and out. It was astonishing how big that bag could be. And then. although Old MT. Toad kept his mouth closed, there came such 2 sweet note. ?eeper and his friends stopped sing ing. Stichytoes and his friends stopped singing. Once moro Old Mr. Toad swelled out his music bag. and once more there came from If 1he sweetest of sweet little songs Could you have been th.re 10 hcar if, you would have known th1t Old Mir. Toad was glad. You would have known that he ua.s just so full of gladness that he couldn't contain himself. His cousins. the lTylas and the Tree Toads. after listening mo- ment. resumed singing virh all their might, and their song was even more joyous than before. old Mr. Toad drew still decp'r breath Tn the moonlight that bag Of glad ness was like great whit" bubble. l. sec emed to him he never had been so happy in all his life. IL seemed 10 him that the only thing " orth do- ing Tn all the Great World was singing. He must share his gIadnoss with all who Woull listen.
