Flip the Terrier never had felt so
disgraced in all his life. How he
wished he hadn't boosted. But he had.
He had boosted of how he could run,
and he had boosted of what he would
do to Speedfoot the Coyote when he
caught him. True, he had made good
his boast as to how he could run, but
his best running had been in the wrong
direction. That Coyote had given him
one of the worst frightS of his life and
had chased him back to his friends, the
three dogs who lived at the ranch. He
had been so terror-stricken that he
hadn't seen Speedfoot stop at a safe
distance, sit down and grin at the other
dogs. And he hadn't seen them grin
back. 1t was all joke that everybody
enjoyed but Flip. who didn't know it
was a joke.
Now, there is one thing about fear
that is unfortunate, and this is that
once it has been implanted it is almost
impossible to get rid of it. Flip was
not a coward. There really wasn't a
cowardly hair on him. He had fought
more than one dog larger than him
self. Had he met that Coyote with the
expectation of a fight he wouldn't have
run. He wouldn't have been afraid. 1t
was the suddenneSs, the unexpected
ness of Speedfoot'S attack that had
made him turn tail and implanted fear
in his heart.
The one thing that Flip wanted most
was to get out of sight He wanted to
get out of sight and keep out of sight.
He had disgraced himself before those
new friends to whom he had so bravely
boasted They had been very polite.
The oldest one had said, You really
can rum" and after that the matter
wasn't mentioned. But Flip knew that
inside they must be laughing at him.
He skunk away by himself and not
even breakfast brought him out. He
hadn't any appetite anyway.
The worst of 1t was he was afraid of
that Coyote. He tried to make himself
believe that he wasn't, but he knew
that he was. He tried to make himself
believe that if ever he got the chance
he would show that Coyote and all the
Great World that he wasn't afraid, and
right then he would seem to see that
savage face with drawn lips and long.
sharp teeth right at his heels and
would SILVER.
All that day he kept by himself.
When, very sheepishly, he joined the
other dogs at breakfast the next morn
ing they treated him as if nothing had
happened. Gradually he felt better
and began to hold his head up. But he
Gid no more Boosting No. sir, he did
no more Boosting. He was cured of
that. He even joined them in a hunt
for Ground Squirrels and, because Of
his quickness, was more successful than
his friends. They noticed, however,
that every now and then he would
look around nervously, and he took
care never to get far from the others
They grinned at each other under
standingly.
around again. There's your friend.
Better go chase him away" said one of
the other dogs. "He is too fast for us. :"

What really happened was that the
whiStling started the sand running
down its slopes. When food did not
appear the lion thought it was escaping,
and sent the sand flying in every dlrec-
ton. 1t was this and not the music
which caused the agitation.
The mother of the ant lion is a
dainty, winged creature, very
much like the damSel fly or the smaller
dragon flies. In June or August the
mother flies about near an ant hill and
also where there is an abundance OF
dry sand. She steals out in the dark
and lays five or six eggs, little white,
elliptical ones Before Winter the baby
ant lions hatch. They get busy and
construct their wonderful little den.
First they make a ring, then, sticking
the tip of their body under the soil,
they use the front legs to dig into the
sand. When enough of it falls on the
fiat head it is given a sudden jerk and
the sand goes some distance away. The
worker then goes around its circle in
the reverse way, and thereby rests one
set of legs. The hind legs are strong
and flexed and used more for pushing
or walking.
The ant lion always walks backward
Her body is a yellowish brown, the skin
tough. The trap is most important. as
IL ID IIlc OIliy 1OL 1OOO
The digger keeps loading sand upon
her head and tossing it out. Usually
the size of the trap is in keeping with
the owner. Many of them are 8
inches deep and a similar distance
across. The sides are very steep and
the sand will start running with the
slightest touch.
Down at the bottom of the den the
lion is hidden, except the strong, hollow
jaws. These are open and ready. When
the insect falls into them 1t is dragged
under the sand. and the juices are ex-
tracted from its body through these
tubelike forcepS. Later the remains are
placed on the lions head and with a
snap sent over the walls, far enough to
escape attention.
These strange little crea lures will live
in the sand for two years. If the food
is plentiful the growing up will be
fastened. When the time comes for it
to turn into an ant-lion fly it will spin
cocoon of silk and sand. After
short time it cuts its way out with a
pair of strong jaws. There are more
than 800 hundred species of ant lions
known.

Applying Makeup.

As proper makeup is one OF milady'S
greatest beauty allies after youth has
passed or to camouf1age defects, 1t Will
not be amiss to study the various steps
in its application. While proper make
up can make plain woman look at
tractive, 1t is equally true that nothing
can detract more from ones appear
ance than makeup which is applied in
an inartistic and slovenly fashion.
The first step is the removal OF all
old makeup by the application OF q
cleansing oil. Leave the oil on for a
minute or two and then remove it with
tissue squares. Now saturate piece OF
absorbent cotton in skin tonic and pat
this gently over the entire face and
neck. Next apply the foundation
cream. There are many women who
like to add a little skin tonic to their
powder-base cream, as this makes 1t
somewhat easier to apply and also has
8 toning effect on the skin.
After the powder base has been alb
sorbed, leaving the skin velvety smooth
in texture, apply the rouge, putting a
rather generous dab in the center of
each cheek, and then. with the finger
tips, blending this upward and outward,
so that the coloring Is quite faint at
the outward edges. There is nothing
more unnatural than dab of rouge
which does not blend off into fainter
and fainter hues toward the edges.
While every one must choose rouge with
reference to her coloring, a good gen.
eral rule to keep in mind is that for
daytime wear rouges should be medium
or fairly dark in shade but for evening
one is wise to choose shades which are
lighter and brighter, with more yellow

Now apply powder, patting it on very
generously over entire face and neck

cooperate, without appearing to do so,
by having a cook book in evidence as

can see that the butter she wishes used

A new scarf to go with one of your

a gift for some young friend of yours
who appreciates attractive evening &C
cessories. Here 1t is, and you can make
1t In one short hour. It calls for q
yard square Of plain or figured chiffon.
Fold over to form a triangle and cut
from one corner to the center. The
slash should be just half of the diagonal
line from corner to corner. Then cut
the opposite corner to form a curved
line as shown in the diagram. The
scarf Is worn around the shoulders with
the diagonal slash forming the opening
for the neck. If you like, the edges
may be finished with machine picot or
you may roll the edges and whip with
silk to match the chiffon. When worn
the ends are tied informally at one side
