ington the following Monday the news
leaked out that the chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee had
caught more fish than the President
Newspaper men asked him about it.
We'll" said Wood, one of the strong
est administration supporters in the
House, Il guess I fished longer than the
President"
Woods enthusiasm for fishing and
his pride in his ability along this line
are generally known on the Hill. Many
remember when he brought all the way
from Florida the head of big fish he
had caught.
A shark, he said, took away the body
of his catch after it was hooked, and
his purpose in bringing the head along
was to prove that he really did catch it.
Byrns of Tennessee, ranking Demo-
crat on the Appropriations Committee
and Woods great and good friend, was
the skeptic the Indianan probably had
in mind. Byrns, although admitting
his friends proves as a fisherman, de-
lights in kidding" him about it.
One of Byrns' favorite stories con-
Germs the time that Wood inadvertently
exceeded the limit while the two were
visiting in Yellowstone Park and the
accompanying difficulties.

bic workers in Congress. Wood relies

rather handsomely dressed for such an
ugly-looking fellow, his whole coat
from head to end of tail being pink
handsome about him. He belonged to
the Lizard family. Farmer Browns
Boy knew this at first glance. but he
was wholly different from any of the
other Lizards Farmer Browns Boy had
seen. Most of these had slim bodies,
with long. slim tails and astonishing
speed. The one exception as to shape
was Horny the Horned Lizard, COM
monty called Horned Toad. But even
Horny could run fast when he wanted
to.
This pink and black stranger was
the biggest Lizard that Farmer Browns
Boy ever had seen. He was almost two
feet long. and instead of being slim
and graceful he was big bodied, with
a thick. short, rounded tail, big blunt
head and short legs. He was moving
along slowly and he didn't look as if
he could move quickly If he tried
Farmer Browns Boy got off his horse
and approached him for better look
at him. He noticed at once that this
fellow wore no coat of scales, as other
Lizards do and as snakes do. Instead
he was covered with little points like
beads under the skin. They were all
over him, including his head, tail and
legs.

The stranger took no notice Of him.
but moved along slowly. Every now
and then his tongue was thrust out to
examine the ground, and it was forked
like the tongue Of Snake His body
seemed too heavy for his legs, so that
he appeared to drag it along the sand.
Now, any other Lizard would have
darted away at the approach of Farmer
Browns Boy, but this big, clumsy-look-
ing fellow merely moved a little faster,
faster than he looked as if he could
move, but compared with the speed of
his various cousins it was anything but
fast.
Il wonder If that is the best you can
do" said Farmer Browns Boy III see
If can hurry you up a bit"
He found some small stones and be-
gan tossing these at the big Lizard
Two or three hit him. Instead of try
ing to run faster he suddenly twisted
to one side as Farmer Browns Boy
came near, and snapped at him with a
quickneSs that made Farmer Browns
Boy Jump to get out of the way. At
the same time he Missed IN a most I'M
pleasant manner that reminded Farmer
Browns Boy of Buffer the Hog-nosed
Snake back home. When he opened
his mouth it showed black inside, and
it also showed a set of teeth that looked
decidedly dangerous.
Again the big Lizard snapped, and
again Farmer Browns Boy jumped out
of the way just in time. MY, you are
ugly" he exclaimed "You certainly
have got temper. I don't like the
look of you a bit. don't want you to
try those teeth on me. 1 wonder who
you are and if bite from you would
be serious. You certainly look as If it
would. I guess won't try to pick you
up"

Martha wanted to use furniture that

She planned to screen off the laundry

new screens are expensive. In hunting

burlap paneled screen that she had

town wear when white might be easily

A simple dress Of white linen or silk
crepe may be similarly diversified by a
number of collar and cuff sets. Today
we suggest a three-piece set consisting
of collar trimming, cuffs and belt made
from figured silk. For the collar trim
ming you will need a strip about one
yard and IL inches in Iength-the eX-
act amount depending on the depth of
the opening of the dress at the front
The strip should be 3 or inches wide.
One end is fastened beneath the clos

back over the shoulder around the back
and brought down few inches on the

yard or more in lengths used for the
belt, while two strips about IL inches
long are placed on the cuffs and tied
in small bows or knots.
To wear on dress of linen or cotton
you may make these trimmings from
fine gingham, which is especially smart
in a two-color check.

1t referred to Priscilla's independence.
Preferably, the baby girl was to have
been a boy, but as usual when the
event turned out as it did they were
more satisfied.
Plans have an effect on those who
make them even If they are changed.
They had drawn mental pictures of a
big. strong boy who could double up his
fists on provocation and dictate to the
crowd. And so Priscilla, with her firm
little chin and decided manner, fitted
into this program of self-aSsertion only
too well. AS Mrs. Gregg remarked more
than once. Il grew up afraid OF my
shadow MY daughter shall be trained
to fear no one. She shall not be bound
around with rules, and shall do pretty
much as she pleases."
So the years passed on until there
were IL. and then there was birthday

tions. called up a caterer, bought favors.

tanned for whole afternoon at games,
guessing contests and tricks.
The postman came up the path and
Mrs. Gregg held out her hand. He gave
her three letters-one was club notice,
one the regular monthly epistle from
Auly Libby, the other an acceptance
from Mrs Bester. whose boy was the
thirteenth name on the list.
These mails! Time some one was
investigating at the post Office. She
herself would report it. But that after
noon 1t was the same. Two accept

BY Thursday there were eight ac-
ceptances. There were 10 other notes
that expressed regret" in as many
tactful ways.
BY Friday afternoon 1t looked as
though there would be IL children at
the party. Eighteen could not possibly
come.
Mrs. Gregg called up Miss Strawn
and asked If she could call.
Miss Strawn came and the situation
was explained.
Suddenly Mrs. Gregg exclaimed
What is it? What is it all about?
You are thinking something like all the
rest. feel 1t. 1 know it."
Miss Strawn demurred, but hes hostess
insisted.
well, you see, 1t is a little difficult to
say. I may be wrong, anyway. 1t IS

Priscilla Gregg expressed herself at our
house today by dropping the cat out

Miss Strawn looked at her now with
quick sympathy.
She is young and has excellent ma

much happier and you would, too, !
think, Mrs. Gregg, if you don't mind
