 That evening Daddy under moth- CTS direction, made a simple stand with 8 horizontal bar from which, by strings, they hung the pipe. Now Dicky was more pleased than ever.
 He took great delight in beating out rhythmic accompaniment to the music which came over the radio or, what he liked even better, play ing with mother at the piano SO that they formed together what he called a regular orchestra" A few days later father come home with a triangle which was in- stalled next to the pipe and which charmed Dick with its new sounds.
 The little episode is an excellent example of the sort of opportunity which comes to parents very often while their children are little and of which they all too seldom avail themselves.
 Children bring to their parents charming discoveries and enthusi- asms only to be met with a cool Yes, that's very nice. but run along and play, dear, mothers busy"

| Paris, Sept. 4.-Post war styles
 unyielding and so standardized as
 to degenerate into a veritable uni
 form. killed all attempts to express
 personality through the happy me- dium of clothes.
 1 Then came a style reaction, in definite and branching out into different directions. This in it's turn .threatened to become alto- gether too pliable. It was tend ing to permit every possible inter- p1etation and was liable to lead to incoherence.
 Hence the mode of today is characterized by frankness of style which bears every semblance of another kind of stabilization. An almost universal agreement seems to have been reached at any rate on the essential points that constitute the elements of any mode: lengh of dress. the place of the waistline and the de- gree of fullness.
 A womans usual gestures, to- gether with the expression of the most distinctive traits of her char acter. are among her greatest at fractions and make up what is known as her personality. Any dress she wears should suit this personality, but it should express i. within the limits of imagina- ton and fantasy. Here the mode must intervene with it's discipline.
 Individuality Is Tempered
 If every woman dressed accord ing to her own particular taste and wore only those dresses she cared for to distinguish her from her neighbor, we would wit ness an orgy of creation. While the woman's idea may be sound, the result would invariably lead to something akin to a masquerade in everyday life.
 Womans influence is by no means a negligible quantity in the matter of styles. She is largely responsible for the evolution of dress and the launching of definite fashions. But the mode has un- written laws, made up of a multi tude of clements. They temper diverg encies in the interests of harmony, thus creating a relative uniformity which enables a wo- man to express her personality, but with measure
 This aim one which animates every style creator. is by no means easy to attain. I have struggled for this ideal in my winter collec- ton and designed clothes to ap- peal to all feminine types at the ] same time leaving a reasonable | for the expression of per sonality.

1mpy, the black Chipmunk, though that when he got his bedroom dug and the passageway leading to his front door completed he would stop work. But no sooner did he get taese things done than he began to think about comfortable bed
 T must have a soft bed right away" said Impy, and forthwith started to look for some soft ma terial to make his bed out of. He LOOK down through the front door and along the long passage some leaves-some dead leaves. Then he found some soft grass that was just what he wanted. He took that down inside. He had to make many trips Yes, indeed, he had to make many : trips, and there were times when his legs ached. When he had enough for bed he was quite satisfied to curl up for good long nap. Those little legs Of his had taken him a long distance in collecting all that ma terial
 Now" said 1mpy, T can spend my time eating and playing. I have bedroom and a nice soft bed. What more could I ask I've work ed hard and now l will just have a good time"
 But lmpy had experienced the Joy Of work. For one whole day he played around and discovered that there was no pleasure in having nothing to do. Then once more he began to think of that home of his.

Of course, there isn't much to put in it now. but the thing to do is 10 have it ready when there is something to put in it. I believe I'll build me a stor>room right away"
 So 1mpy went 10 work again. First, he opened his back door, You see, he had 10 push more sand out. Then he started short passage from his main hall He made this quite short and then began digging q little room. The sand he pushed out on the pile at the back door. Presently he had a very nice little room, reached by d short passage from the main hall.
 Tt would be q good thing to be able to close the door Of this, little room" thought he. So he left some loose sand. As this was to be a storeroom and not q bedroom he didn't take any leaves or grass into ic All the time he was al work lmpy felt like singing.

Care of the Hair
 Hair, like the enamel of the teeth and the nails. is special form Of the skin covering.
 But while the latter two are now accorded a fair degree of care the hair frequently is neglected.
 There are many scalps that suffer from too much and the wrong kind of care.
 It IS not uncommon to find a his tcry of years of neglect followed when the first bald spot appears. by an aggressive and intensive abuse ot the scalp through excessive washing and the application of too strong alcoholic tonic preparations.
 The normal scalp and hair-that is those neither too dry nor yet too olly-require shampooing not more frequently than once a week, nor less frequently than once a month.
 Shampoos of unknown compost tion are not to be trusted. and for washing the hair few things are better than castle soap and warm water.
 When the hair is worn long. daily brushing is advisable. The brush should not. however, be too stiff nor too fine. and should not ir- r!tate the scalp.
 Hats should not be tight fitting, and should not be allowed to inter- fere win the circulation of the scalp. They should also allow for circulation Of air.
 Whether or not dandruff directly causes the loss of hair is a disputed question but tha: it is a contribut- ing cause all are in agreement. Those suffering from dandruff should avoid irritating lotions.
 Since not infrequently the loss O. hair is associated with deep seated disturbances in the body, it i3 wise to submit to careful physical examination.
 Hair is said to have roots, but these must not be conceived of as in the nature of tree roots. No remedy can be applied to the hair shaft and cause the hair to grow.

dlscontented. When he was working hard time seemed to fairly fly.
 Tt wouldn't do any harm to have another storeroom," said Impy to himself, Two storerooms would be better than one, I could put one kind Of food in one storeroom and another kind of food in another storeroom, I think that's a good idea"
 So Impy started in to dig another storeroom. As before, he opened the back door in order 10 throw the sand out. But when this storeroom was half done Impy once more closed the back door and then he began filling in the passage that led to the back door He pushed it in tight. You see, he no longer had any use for that passage so there was no sense in pushing that sand any farther than he had to. Besides, if he filled that passage there would be no danger of any one digging in from the outside.

Dr. Seibers presence in the hote :. dining room made it impossible fol - mo to do anything save acquiesce ir Q Mr. Feritzen's plans for the dinner decorations hoping that the restau- rant proprietor would accept the reason for my employers interest that I had given him-that the party was being given in honor of Mary, the fancee of the great pro- ducers son, and his own stage pro- tegee.
 I schooled my voice to airy casu- alness, therefore, although l felt far more like telling my employer to take his flowers and himself to some spot as far removed from me as possible.

 Haven't A. G."-he named a leading florist's-'sent any vases to me? These will never do"
 Secretly I agreed with him, al though l should have striven to ex- press my disapproval a bit more tactfully.
 T haven't seen anything of the sort" Mr. Seibel reioined a trifle curtly.
 Where's the telephone?" MT. Veritzen lost no time in getting to the instrument which Mr. Seibel silently indicated, and when he had secured his connection, his tones were sulphurous, although he re- strained his vocabulary, evidently in deference to my presence.
 Remember, not later than twenty he said finally as he hung up the telephone. and my heart started downward toward my toes. He gave every evidence of intending to stay in the dining room indefi- mite, and knowing Dicky's penchant for making unexpected decisions, knew that I might expect him in the dining room much earlier than the hour he had named when he was me. Edith's blabbing- deliberately used the unpleasant l word-undoubtedly had put him in 3 mood which would cause him to resent even the presence of Philip Veritzen in the dining room. How

 If your frock is plain material, it is advisable to use a light tone for the new touches or else a fg- ured material. If it is a figured frock, plain material adds the right contrast.

Certainly when child quite defi- nitely asks for the truth on any subject, it cannot be withheld with out shaking his faith in the person who has eyaded his question But most little children accept without question certain fictions which sat- isfy their conscious or unconscious wishes.
 They enjoy animal stories and fairy tales without for one moment troubling themselves as to their truthfulness.
 Only those fictions are harmful which later cause feelings of guilt and emotional confusion. A child should have the pleasure of believ- ing in Santa Claus until such time as his critical intelligence makes him discard it. He will hold no srudge against his parents for he will understand that their deception was all part of scheme for giving him pleasure while he was yet d small child a year or more ago.

his eyes They stung his face. He crawled out on his favorite tussock. The icy particles were blown into his fur and he was glad to dive into the water again.
 Twice afterward that day he tried it and twice was driven back. And such a contrast as there was. Above that roof of ice the storm ragged so that no living thing could face it. All through the Green Forest the little people in feathers and fur sought shelter where they could find it and shvered and went hungry and were utterly miserable. Over in the dear Old Briar- patch Peter Rab- bit and little Mrs. Peter retreated down in the old house that had been dug by Johnny Chuck's father years before and were glad of that shelter.
 Below the ice was serene and quiet. No more peaceful place could have been found in all the Great World. Of the shrieking and bowling of Rough Brother North Wind noth- ing, not so much as murmur was to be heard. Water plants on the bottom swayed in the gentle current in the Smiling Pool just as in mid- summer. Trout and minnows darted about or lay motionless. They didn't know that up above it was storming and many little folk were in for hard times, much of their food buried and the snow and ice making getting about a matter of difficulty
 T guess you were right" said Stumpy to Jerry Muskrat. The Smiling Pool isn't such d bad place. even with roof over it.
 "Of course I am right" replied Jerry. You are lucky to be living in the Smiling Pool. A chance visit from Little Joe Otter or Billy Mink is all we have to fear, and if we keep watch we needn't fear this much. l wouldn't change places with Reddy Fox or Peter Rabbit or any of the other folks who live on land in winter Phcw. It makes me shiver 10 think Of just trying to keep warm in such a storm as is raging up above this very minute
