tect her babies from harm. 1t is IN
about the same position as the cows

Around the first of February the
babies are born. They are less de-
veloped than any other mammal baby
in the world And, though blind and
helpless, they use their tiny claw-tipped
front feet to climb hand over hand,
over their mothers fur, until they reach
the pouch where safety and food await
them. Once inside, the tiny naked
creature noses" about until it finds A
nipple. Here for two months it hangs
on for dear life. The suctionlike
mouth and the sharp claws keep the
little fellow in position. The hind feet
are mere pads, the nostrils are well
defined.
The whole family of 13 and some
teaspoon. But, oh, how they grow!
When eight weeks old, they have a
lovely coat of soft fur, their eyes are
opened and their lips developed and
separated.
At this stage they are as cunning as
can be- They run all over their mother
and play hide and seek In the hollow
tree which has been their home.
At night, when all is still, the mother
sallieS forth for food for herself and
family. She tucks her children in her
pouch, pulls the string and off she goes.
She does not take a chance and leave
her precious babies behind.

climber, the opossum is not easy to

There's an anser to that question all

10 dollers. WOW. Harvey said and
Gladdis said, Why the sudden berst

prised If it was real French cushion.

genuine imported French cushion, all
made by hand and filled with the
finest French feathers. The original
price was 38 dollers, she said
My stars you got it for practically
nothing, Gladdis said, and pop saftl, If
19 dollers Is practically nothing, then
I've been walking in my sleep all my

he said, and pop said, From her

But my goodness. II a thing is verth
more than you pay for it. that fact

That gives me an idea, Harvey said
I know where I can get an English

I'm going to get it tomorrow rain or

I've got an idea too pop said.
There's certain new razor I've been

Aside from these two-fiower bouquets
there are rnany-howered bouquets OF
smaller flowers. You may choose a
small bunch of forget-me-nots II you
wish to be demure. A more sophisticated
effect is produced by violets, especially
when they are made Of black linen. .
You will find a tempting array Of
all sorts Of artificial flowers in any OF
the smart shops nowadays, and you'll
be delighted TO find that even the very
choicest bouquets are much less expen-
sive than they would have been a few
years ago. You may If you like make
the flowers yourself, cutting them from
fine silk or cotton pique or from the
material of which your dress is made.
Silk flowers with edges of the petals
slightly frfnged have been used often
enough by the good dressmakers to es-
tablish their place among smart fash
ions for another season.
Real flowers. too, are sanctioned now
by well dressed women. But remember
that for the street dress a small bouton-
neire Of two flowers is the smartest Sc
lection. The larger corsage is appro-
pirate only for afternoon or evening
not for about town wear

journeys over the desert
One subject Mofammed thought
about was religion. His friends and
relatives in Mecca prayed to many
gods; but he felt that they ought to
pray to one single deity. In the course
of time he called this deity Allah.
1t was not until he was 40 years old
that Mohan1med began to preach Then
he declared:
There is only one lord, Allah, and
am his prophet. We should not pray to
many gods-we should pray only to
Allah. Moses and Christ we're great
prophets, but I am greater than they"
Mohamined gained believers, but he
made enemies as well. These enemies
were angered because he had talked
against their gods. Mohammed found
life unpleasant at Mecca and decided
to leave the city. He fled to the town

If there is any one in all the Great
