BEDTIME STORY
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

to go over TO Paddy's pond until
after Honker and his followers had
had time to go to sleep.
Reddy and Granny Fox had heard
that message from the sky. and
they, too, had seen Honker lead the
way down into the Green Forest
and had guessed just where he had
gone. Reddy was for going over
there at once, but wise old Granny
knew better than do that
You think you know it ALL" she
said sharply, but you've got lot
to learn yet. Reddy Fox. 1t isn't
every day that we have a chance to
get a goose for dinner, and if it
were left to you we wouldn't have
any chance at all. HOnker isn't
like those foolish geese in Farmer
Browns yard. Oh, my, no. You've
got to have all your wits about you
when you try to catch HOnker. In
fact, | don't expect that we are 60
ing to catch Honker at all, smart
as we are. But do think we may
catch one OF the youngsters of whom
he is the leader, and that will be
much better. Honker is old and
tough. Perhaps we can catch two.
But whatever you do, Reddy Fox,
don't go near the pond of Paddy

for every day use. The bias trim
comes in the proper width, cut on
true bias, ready to apply, and in
bOilfast colors.
Quite a new idea is the surplice
front effect which fashions the
apron to the left. Then, too. the
skirt of this apron is sewed onto a
V-shape waistline which is slender
izing. For this model the designer
chooses a dainty lowered percale.
In this instance the bias trim is
used for binding only. For the
other apron which, by the way, is
made of gingham, the bias trim also
forms decorative bands at the front
and on the cuffs. Note that circu-
lar-cut side sections are scanned
into the skirt portion, achieving a
graceful flare for its hemline.
Where sheer material such as or
candle is employed, use sfeer fab
ric thread in matching color to
stitch down the bias bands. This
fabric thread does not go by num-
Der although in reality it is equal
to a number one hundred ordinary
cotton. It requires the machine
gauge set to about twenty-five
stitches to the inch. 1t is excellent
for scanning frocks of sheer mate
rial as the fine stitches and the
fine needle prevents the seams from
fraying Paris couturiers are using
it on silks and velvets Gt has an
| exquisite luster). In fact the use
of exceedingly fine thread, very fine
needles and little stitches is one
of the sewing secrets learned from
| French dressmakers.

CALM
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

COMETIMES in summer you will
- find a lake
No storms disturb. No rolling bill
lows break
Upon its shore. It is a place of
peace
Yes. here it seems the things that
trouble cease
And trouble man no more. No thun-
ders roll
Across the sky, across the human
soul.
Be not deceived; no lake. however
still,
But has its winters, as all waters
will.
Sometimes in living someone you
may find
To whom Dame Fortune must be al
ways kind.
The voice so quiet. dlgnified the
mein.
That they remind you of that syl-
van scene.
Pain, grief and anger, they know
none of these,
The little lakes so far from wider
seas.
Be not deceived. The calm may
have their care,
A greater burden they must bravely
bear.
There is no shelter from the storms
of life,
We do but differ in the way its
strife
Is suffered, in the way its grief
is borne.
They feel the most who do least
loudly mourn.
The aspen quivers when unmoved
the palm;
In controversy greatness is most
calm.
And they perhaps may hold the
dear most dear
Who pay the tribute Of the unshed
tear.

Honker mustn't even suspect that
we know that he has come"
Reddy promised to do just as old
Granny Fox said, although he was
so impatient that he just had to go
down on the Green Meadows and
hunt for Danny Meadow Mouse so
as to keep from thinking of Honker
the Goose and his followers. SO it
was that HOnker and the other
geese, of whom he was the leader,
went TO sleep without hearing or
seeing a single thing to make them
anxious or suspicious. And so it
was that in the still small hours
of the night when those who sleep
at night are usually deepest in
dreamland stealthy feet trotted soft
ly through the Green Forest toward
the pond of Paddy the Beaver, the
feet of Old Man Coyote coming
from the Old Pasture, and the feet
of Granny and Reddy Fox coming
from the Green Meadows

FLASHES FROM
PARIS

Paris adores cottons, no
question of that. In the magic
hands Of her cOuturiers, the
lOveliest of cotton weaves
have taken on new beauty.
The impression left as one
views one triumph in cotton
after another in the ateliers
of noted French designers is
that this summers popularity
of cotton has made an indel-
ible mark on fashions of the
future.
The fabric used includes
velveteen for evening wraps
and the same for stunning
street clothes. Organdie. both
printed and in solid colors.
brOadcloth, voile. batiste and
dainty swisses are all treated
with the art which has made
Paris famous for beautiful
clothes.
The effect of the Colonial
exposition will be far-reach-
ing in the fashion world, but
nowhere will its influence be
more felt than in cotton
modes. This influence was also
reflected in the frocks, hats
and wraps worn by the spec
tators as we'll as the empha-
sis placed on smart cOttons in
the couturier displays.
Outstanding styles included
organdie dance frOcks with
little sleeves that covered the
shoulders, a black organdie
evening gown with white lace
inserts in bodice and skirt,
also a very lovely dress of
white organdie, its square eye
lets embroidered in silver.

WHEN the modern business
w woman with a family comes
home at night and must turn imme-
diately to the preparation of dinner,
or when the Sunday night hostess
must serve light refreshments with
out changing to kitchen attire, her
first thought is of an apron that
will protect her pretty frock.
To be sure, the apron itself is all
right in its way, but it does not
protect the sleeves and so, as al
ways, necessity becomes the moth
er of invention" in that some clever
brain has devised apron sets"
which include deep matching cuffs
which are worn as you see in the
picture.
1t is not only the novelty and
practicability of the cuffs as IL
Illustrated which attract. but the
aprons themselves are very new
and unusual. If there is one thing
more than another which makes aD-
peal to the hOme-sewing woman it
is a new apron pattern They are
very easy to make, the aprons pic
tured, if you use bias trim for
bindings and decoration.
Make them of any suitable mate
rial. Organdie or dotted swiss is
suggested for the more dressy af-
fairs that are to cover the Sunday
night frock and its sleeves with
gingham, percale or gay cretonne

head out TO look up at the sky. He
had seen HOnker turn and lead his

disappear in the Green Forest.

chops hungrily and grinned as he
watched.

Stripes Rival Plaid in
Esteem of Designers

Whether ones taste calls for
stripes or plaids makes no differ
ence this season. Both systems are
working well in fashion, for it is a
patterned year. Stripes run around
or up and down or both ways on
the same garment. And plaids-
well, they are biased or straight
with no deep regard for any one
set way. If one don't want to be
patterned all over, try a striped
plaid coat with a plain dress.

BROWNSVILLE

With completion OF the Red Cross
life saving examiners tests at the
Country club pool Friday. Browns
vile was assured life saving in
structions for swimmers interested
in learning approved and effective
methods OF escuing ROWING per-
sons.
Lawrence Olmsted, Jr., and
Beverly Tabor, who haze been
senior life savers for several years,
completed a course OF instructions
and successfully passed the exam
liners tests conducted under the
direction OF Ned Campbell, life
saving and first aid field repre-
sentative OF the American National
Red Cross, who has been IN
Brownsville for the past several
days in the interest OF this work.
These two young men demon
strated exceptional ability in both
teaching and practice in the water,
and Brownsville is fortunate In
having an opportunity to receive
instruction in life saving from
them" Campbell stated Saturday
morning.
Life saving as is taught by the
Red Cross consists Of training in
how to safely approach q drowning
person, how to hurriedly transport
them to shore, how TO break the
grasp OF a struggling person, and
most important. how to apply
artificial respiration. Ten hours OF
instruction are required before a
candidate IS eligible for the final
examinations. Upon successfully
passing several tests a person Is
awarded an ensignia that Is TO be
worn on the front Of his bathing
suit.
The junior life saving test Is
intended for boys and girls at least
u years old. and the senior test
for men and women II or older. II
is the plan Of Tabor and Olmsted
10 start classes Of instruction at an
early date at Martins swimming
pool. Everyone interested should
see Tabor at the j. c. Penney store

Gross program OF reducing the un-
necessary loss OF life throughout
the country.
This Is indeed an exceptional
opportunity for the people of
Brownsville" Mr.. Rob--t p. Ernst,

and every swimmer should take
immediate advantage OF these in
