nNE of the significant fashion
" trends of the times is the con-
tinued lavish use of lace both for
daytime and for evening modes.
That costume designers are yield
ing so wholeheartedly to the per-
suasiOn of lovely lace is only an
other link in the chain of evidence
that styles have gone alluringly
feminine this season.
From the beginning of fashion
history, the most romantic chap
ters, those which have portrayed
woman at her lOveliest, have been
written with lace as their central
theme. And so designers are re-
capturing all the enchantment of
lace, and with consummate art are
releasing it via apparel so beguil-
ing as to cause the whole style
world to yield to its lure.
The fact that designers have
come to the conclusion that by US
ing discretion in its handling lace
can be brought into the daytime
picture with as assured good taste
as into the evening scene of utmost
formality, greatly increases its
vogue. In selecting a dress for aft
ernOon wear, one that carries just
the right degree of formality, a
frock that makes you look your
prettiest and most alluringly fem
inine, there's no wiser choice than
lace.
Naturally, black is always first
in mind, and if it is made up as
seductively as the charming frock
pictured, it is sure to prove flat
tering. This effective model plays
up the smartness of simplicity when
achieved through subtle styling. 1t
has that airy, fairy, filmy way about
it which women so cOvet for their
most becoming frocks. The short
sleeves answer to the call of semi
formal modes such as tune in so
successfully not only to afternoon
affairs, but stand ever ready to

e The Parrot
A Story for the Children
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

VOU could have told from Letty's
L eyes that she was a very bright
bird.
The eyes of the bird always show
Just how much wisdom and intelli-
gence the bird has. and Lefty
proved that she had a great deal.
When any one spoke to her, her
eyes looked very bright. They
watched the person who was speak
ing to her, showing she was listen
ing and paying attention.
If her eyes had wandered all
about she would have shown she
was stupid.
A bird is very much like a per-
son in this way. When you speak
to people and they let their eyes
gaze on anything and don't pay at
tentiOn to any one thing they're
not so bright and keen.
Lefty belonged to a little girl
named Alice. Now Alice fed her
parrot some very nice seeds and
bits of corn. Lefty thought she had
fine food, and every day after lunch
Lefty would have piece of cake.
1t was a small piece but it was
extremely good!
Lefty learned to say almost
everything after while. My, what
a talker she became.

o. that, they found the fiat clean
gone, an the rope was trailin down
the stream. Ann was nowhere to
be seen. They had to git a boat
furder down the river to git across
in; an when they got over they
seed that the rOgues had cut the
big rope, while Ann was pullin'
back, | reckon, SOS them that was
arter 'em couldn't cross. Hit was
full-mOOn night when all thet
happened, them sixty years ago;
an Ann Mulkey's body waren't
ever found. The crossn' down
thar's been called Rogue's Ferry
ever Sence.
Jonas Parsons was clean flabber-
gasted at what had happened He
mOped for two days, then he got
him pair O guns, an went to hunt
them rogues. They said Jonas was
gone two months or more. Then
he come back one day; an folks
asked him eff he got 'em. He amt
said as he did or he didn't; but
thar was some as knOwed that he
got on their trail.
Jonas an Ann had set on that
rock down by the river many an
many night in the moonlight, and
he played all o. them old tunes for
her on the fiddle; so when he
come back he got to goin' down
thar an playin' 'em, every full
moon. He vowed as how Ann was
listenin' from a rock cave under
the water"
"And you mean that Jonas has
kept this up for sixty years?"
yeah. Never misses a full moon

crazy, but I don't know. He says
he'll go to Ann sometime down in
the rock cave"

to enjOin silence. What new sweet
ness suddenly had come into the
music? 1t filled my soul with its
strange plea Now. as swiftly, came
another change. From the pIaintive
strains which had poured forth,
there was a quick flight of wild and
brilliant crescendo, a rhapsody of
the most joyous noting. I clutched
young COrbin's arm. At that instant
the music broke off in the midst
of its most climatic ecstasy. When
the echo had died away, all was
still except for the roar of the
river.

the buggy.

They always laughed then, and
did not mind her chattering For
after they had been there a little
while Lefty muttered and said
things in very low tones so as not
to disturb any one.
1t was night time and Lefty had
her head under her wing. Some
times she slept this way, just as
canary would sleep.
But often she would huddle up
on her perch and dOze off with her
head dropping down a little on her
chest
But this night she was sound.
sound asleep and her head was
hidden away-while she was dream
ing of seeds and cake and all the
goodies that parrots love.
All of the family were asleep
when Lefty seemed to notice some
thing strange.
She didn't like the smell that
came to her. Now she was wide
awake.
She didn't want to disturb the
family. She was good parrot,
and never disturbed any one who
might be sleeping.
But this she knew was not right.
She was sure of it.
The smell became stronger and
there was something rather fright
ening about it.
She got off her perch and went
into the room where Alice's daddy
slept.
Then she shrieked at the top of
her parrot voice:
"Never, never still. Never still,
never STILL"
Alice's daddy woke right up. So
did the other members of the fam
lily.
And it was Lefty who saved them
all. She had smelt fire and if
Alice's daddy hadn't noticed right
away the spark that had come out
of the fireplace, which hadn't been
put out as carefully as usual, it
would have set fire to everything.

much wild driving that he attracted
the attention of one traffic cop. He
was trailed and was brought before
Judge Hit.
The evidence of his guilt was SO
strong that he placed himself at the
mercy of the court.
"This man tells me that he is to be
married tomorrow" said the officer,
who had begun to sympathize with
him, although he is one of the most
hard-boiled on the force. Cant you
be a bit lenient with him, Judge?"
yes" promptly answered the magi-
strate. Il will let him go, for his
troubles are just beginning. I think
I should help him out. for he will
have enough worry later"
The judge stated a basic principle
and universal truth when he de-
clared that mans trouble is just
beginning when he passes into the
state of matrimony
This being true, why do SO many
of us hunt trouble by a second mar
riage. Some of us fall victim of
marriage, not only the second time,
but often the fourth and fifth time.
Out in Hollywood, where the movie
stars imagine they are so clever, they
fall like the leaves in the forest after
black frost in the fall. So-called
clever men appear to fall oftener for
the troubles and trials of married life
