than the back OBJ. And the longer
back hair made into curls. coils or
twists.
Unless one can never wear The
straight-hair coiffure, It Is q good plan
to have a permanent wave or Anger
wave given to the longer hair in the
back. This makes it easy to fashion It
into becoming coils, rtnglets or twists.
This is not necessary II the hair has q
natural wave, however.
Quite the opposite style Is used by
others-that is, the back hair Is kept
short and the sides long. Then for
daytime or street wear the sides may
be made to appear short by keeping
them waved. For evening or more
formal wear the sides may be pulled
over the shingled back and there FASH
ioned in such q way that the hair ap-
pears long.

has been applied to the present STYLE

Perhaps this case was coincidence.
However, Prince Troubetskoy, the as
tronomer, who investigated and recorded
It, did not think so.
The family of the celebrated Italian
music publisher, Ricordi, was concerned
In the case, as well as some friends of
the family, a Signor and Signora
x. All were residents of Milan
where the music publishing house was
famous.
The Records lived at No. l Via One
non1, in building which housed several
apartments. The top floor was occu-
pied by the sister of Ricordi, Amelia
whose husband was a well known archi-
tect. Her son, also an architect, early
achieved success, winning a worldwide
competition for the best design for
new facade of the Cathedral at Milan.
This talented young man died, how
ever, before having given full expression
to his ability.
In the month Of February, 1899, Sig
nora Amelia was seriously i'll. Her sit
uation was so painful that an attendant
stayed with her constantly to admin
lister whatever relief was possible. On
the floor beneath lived Signor and
Signora x. Under them, on the
lower floors lived the Records
On the evening of February 18 a
grand production was given at the
Scala. Signor x had obtained
seats, but as the hour for the perform

i'll, and decided not to 60. Since, how
ever, her condition was not alarming,
she urged her husband to go without
her. He did,
It was midnight when he returned.
To his surprise, he found the whole
apartment ablaze with lights. All the
servants were up and his wife was in
mcst excitable condition. She was
terror stricken, because, she said, she
had seen something horrible" pass be-
fore her bed room window.
What had she seen? What was this
horrible" thing? To her husbands
inquiries she could make no rational
answer. 1t was a passing shadow; II
was as If something had fallen. But
the emotion that had seized her at the
time was inexplicably terrible. ~ E
Signor x finally succeeded in
calming her and getting her to bed,
where at last she fell asleep.
Upstairs the next morning the ailing
Signora Amelia. seized with q sudden
paroxysm Of pain, decided she could no
longer endure living. Under pretext
she managed to send her attendant out
Of her room. She was no sooner alone
than she hurried to her window, raised
it, and threw herself into the street,
where she was killed instantly.
In her fall, she passed before the
window cf Signora ks room-the
very window outside which she had
seen that something horrible" pass.

ows toward the Smiling Pool. In his
pockets were carrots and apples, which
he intended to scatter for the Musk
rats. It was little before dusk, which
is the time when Jerry and his family
and friends delight to come out. Farmer
Browns Boy sat down on an old log
back Of an alder bush. 1t was favor
ite place. Many times had he sat there
watching Jerry Muskrat going about his
business and not once suspecting that
he was being watched.
The Smiling Pool was like sheet Of
glass. Not a ripple stirred its placid
surface anywhere. From the farther side
the Black Shadows were beginning to
creep out. Presently faint, pleasant
odor Of musk reached the nose of Far
mer Browns Boy, and he smiled. Jerry
or Mrs. Jerry or some member of the
family must be near. Then he heard
q faint splash up the Laughing Brook.
A moment or two later a brown head
appeared moving out into the Smiling
Pool. It was. headed toward the Big
Rock.
"That isn't Jerry" thought Farmer
Browns Boy. 1T isn't quite big enough
for Jerry. 1t must be one of his chill
dren. Hello! Here comes another!'
Sure enough, another Muskrat was
swimming out from Jerry Muskrat's s
house. He was swimming straight to-
ward Farmer Browns Boy. Just beyond
the alder, behind which the latter was
sitting, was little landing placc, made
long ago by Jerry Muskrat. It was to-
ward this that the swimmer was headed.
Farmer Browns Boy held his breath,
or almost held it. He took care not to
move SO much as a finger. 1t was very
still there, and he heard faint squeaks
Ia
the Laughing Brook across the Smiling
Pool. The MuskratS were talking. He
wished he could understand what they
said. OF one thing he was certain, and
this was that they did not suspect his
presence. There wasn't a suggestion of
suspicion or fear in those sqeuaky
voices.
The swimmer coming toward him was
very near now. Perhaps he would come
out on that little landing. He was so
near now that that queer tail rapidly
moving from side to side could be
plainly seen. 1t was q young Muskrat.
Farmer Browns Boy could tell this bv
ms size and appearance.
He, must be one Of Jerry's last FAM
ily," thought Farmer Browns Boy.
Probably he'll spend the Winter in that
mouse over there with his father and
Just then the young Muskrat reached
the little landing and started to climb
out. He made hard work of it. He was
clumsy. Farmer Browns Boy thought
this queer. Then the young Muskrat
turned as he sat up, and Farmer
Browns Boy saw that he had only a
stump where one of his front legs should
nave been. A wave Of anger swept over
FARMER Browns Boy. Some one has
peen trapping here" he thought. II

Ever since bohbed hair flrst came
into vogue milady has been asking
HAS It come to stay?" Time and again
she may have settled back quite salts
fled that she could wear her hair COM
fortably shorn for the rest Of her days,
only to have some fashion expert sud-
denly announce that bobbed hair had
had its day and was no longer in vogue.
Some Of these announcements have
been premature. Many gfrIs and women
have allowed their hair to grow out In
recent years, but some of them soon
had 1t cut again, quite secure in the
belief that both bobbed and long hair
was In fashion.
This season the question r. up again.
With the complete discarding Of the
extremely short bob and mannish hair
cuts, many have felt that the return of
long hair was inevitable. But there
are plenty Of style experts who still
insist that the bob in modified form is
here to stay, that never again will
milady burden her pretty head with the
extremely long, heavy tresSes that were
her pride in grandmother's day. But
at the present time the long bob that
can be dressed to resemble long hair
is in high favor. The reason for this
may be found In the character of
present-day styles in clothes. The
short, boyish bob certainly would not
be in keeping with the long, full eve

Happiness.


II YOU look up the derivation Of tahe
word happiness you viii and it relates
to luck and also to fate.
If happiness Is a matter of luck there
are certain definite feelings associated
with a good day on Wall Street or q
bad day at the race tracks.
II happiness is a matter Of fate then
momentary luck, good or bad, has little
TO DO with 1t. Between passing luck
and bounding fate there are all sorts
OF states Of mind described as feelings
Of happiness.
What is known as the intellect seems
70 De associated with the feelings of
happiness. On this point the psy-
chology of happiness takes a curious
turn. The proposition is this: A per-
son may know so much that he has no
feeling about what has just happened.
ana no real concern about what NAV
happen. This Is an old doctrine and
may explain why so many great INTEL
lectuals have been unhappy men.
Recently the psychology of happiness
mas turned to another theme. It is now
said that happiness Is, after all. a per-
Sonal matter. Personal in the sense
tnat no one can say what makes an
other happy. If that is so happiness ts
merely personal feeling of conlpetencv
and achievement. Do a good davis

Avoid the Ofense.

Children are naughty at times. They
seem to cGoose the most inopportune
times. If we have company, if we take
them out, they misbehave. That is not
thei fault.
Children are easily fatigued. In the
first place they have not the reserve
energy that grown-up people have
They use theirs as it comes and before
they know what is happening the sup
ply is exhausted and they are in dis
tress Naughtiness is usually the re-
suit Of such fatigue.
Strange conditions tire children
They have to put out far more energy
in new situation than they would in
familiar one. It will not weary q
child to visit the grandmother he sees
every other day, but it will exhaust him
to go a short distance to see one he
does not see more than once a year
These things must be taken into con-
sideration.
Changing a child's bedtime is a
strcng factor in this sort of trouble
The child's body is set for a certain
space of time and when that time
passes he lets down. He has to. Chang
ing any bodily habit fatigues a child
Any new situation calls for great ex-
ertion on his part and fatigues him
greatly. The adult may be quite fresh
and wonder what ails the child. What
ails him Is the difference in the reserve
store Of energy. The adult has much,
the child, none.
Fatigue brings on all sorts Of trouble
The child will be cross. He will fight
and howl. Perhaps he will dance about
and laugh loudly. In any case he will
pay no attention to anything anybody
says to him. He has lost control Of
himself. Nobody else has any at this
time. The only thing to do is to lay
hold Of him, escort him to quiet place,
soothe him as well as one can and get
him to bed.
1t is not wise, it certainly will not
help, to spank tired child. That will
add to the trouble instead of lessening

TO roam In the Green Forest and keep
track Of what was going on in the Old
Pasture and along the Laughing Brook
and on the Green Meadows whenever
he could slip away without neglecting
his duties he did so and enjoyed these
trips the more for the fact that he felt
they were fairly earned. h.
So 1t was that Farmer Browns Boy
had not been aware of what was going
on around the Smiling Pool and along
the Laughing Brook. There were signs
warning hunters and trappers that no
hunting or trapping would be allowed
there, and Farmer Browns Boy felt that
these signs would be respected. He
himself would respect such sign on
the land Of another, and so he expected
his own signs to be respected.
One Saturday afternoon he had some
spare time and decided to go down to
the Smiling Pool. "I want to see how
Jerry Muskrat and his family are get
ting along" he explained to Bowser the
