 The nation has the cutters and men to man them. It IS merely matter of assignment.

he sat down they hoped and
scampered all over him.
What's the trouble, little girl"
he asked, and his voice was so very
kind.

rieS," Mahalia answered
"Six wild Strawberries" squealed
the squirrels. You needn't have
cried over thOse-we can get you
more than six"
But they were in a basket of

"Oh," said Mr.. Giant, I'VE will
have to find that" And he looked
all around, and down behind fern
was the missing basket with the
Strawberries.
Then the Giant and all the squir-
rels set to work and gathered many
wild strawberries so that Mahalia's
basket was filed when she left
them.
She loved wild strawberries al
most better than any fruit and she
was very happy about having such
a lot of them.
The Giant was happy because he
had proved to one more little girl
that a giant could be a dear, friend
ly soul, and the squirrels were
happy that they had been the ones
to bring all this about.
SO you see, although the story
began with tears, it ended very
happily.

self-same as trims the rest of the
dress. Often it is not the actual
petticoat which shows but a SIM
liar effect is achieved in that the
scalloped or flaring hemline of the
monotone frock is faced with the
gay patterned silk. The idea is
repeated in the lining of the short
f1aring sleeves with perhaps a scarf
neckline to match.
The revival of the petticoat is
also suggested in the popular redin-
cote costumes, their open-in-the-
front skirts and long coats being
made to reveal an underskirt of
print.
Not only are daytime modes
yielding to "petticoat rule" for the
new gesture is extending into the
realm of evening frocks. The idea
of transparent hemlines is one ex-
plotted for formal dress. These call
for costume slips or petticoats
which are finished from below the
knees down with net, chiffon or
tulle.
