Reddy Fox had been in trouble many
times, but never in worse trouble than
he was now in, and he knew it. He
was far from the Old Pasture, the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
of Farmer Browns farm, where he
knew every tree and bush and rock and
twist and turn of every path. He knew,
too, quite as much about netghboring
farms. But this country where he now
was he did not know so thoroughly.
He had been driven here by hard times
and the need Of finding new hunting
grounds. Now, instead Of being the
hunter he was the hunted, as the bay
ing Of Hound which came to him all
too clearly on the cold clear air that
Winter morning informed him only
too well. That Dog was on his trail
Reddy would not have minded so
much had he been at his best in we'll
fed strength, but he wasn't. Food had
been scarce for many days, and from
lack Of it he was far from having his
usual strength. Then. too, he was
tired from having travelled much
through the night in search Of a meal
while that Dog was fresh and strong
for he did not know what it was TO be
half starved. Also, a baying Dog usu-
ally meant one or more hunters with
terrible guns lying in wait for him
When he had first heard that Dog
far behind him Reddy had started off
running easily, for he knew by the
sound that the Dog was having some
trouble in following the old and cold
scent. Now, however, he was running
hard, for that Dog was baying steadily,
which meant that he had found the
place where Reddy had been resting
and now had fresh trail, easy to
follow.
IT wish I knew II there is hunter
with terrible gun, and If so where he
is" thought Reddy. "I'll have to fool
that Dog, I hope he isn't as clever as
Bowser. the Hound back home. Ha!
Good old Blackyl There Is hunter
and Blacky sees him"
Blacky the Grow, who also had to
travel far these days to get enough to
eat, was circling high in the air short
distance ahead Of Reddy and cawing in
q way that Reddy understood perfectly.
He had discovered the hunter with the
terrible gun hiding and waiting Tor
Reddy TO come along.
Reddy abruptly turned in another
direction. That dog was gaining and
Reddy was beginning TO pant. He

Pleasing the Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON.

A MoNG the reforms you plan to
work on the family during the
coming year, why not tuck in a few
food resolutions that will help to bring
greater enjoyment not only to the man
of the house, but to you, once they are
firmly established?
l. Add to the culinary equipment
cooking time table that will tell how
long it takes each important food to
cook. Then when making out menus
it will be easy to calculate the time
needed for the making of each course.
This will help greatly to reduce haste
and confusion and excuses for late din
ners to the homecoming spouse.
2. Make a list of the favorite goods
of each member of the family and plan
to serve them with some regularity
say once a week, If preferences are
reasonable. 1t will surprise you TO see
how much this thought IS appreciated.
3. Resolve to have easy meals" two
or three times each week, so you can
be nicely rested and ready to enjoy the
evening with your husband even
though no special entertainment is
planned. Your companionship Is valued
much more than fuSsy foods.
4. If the pinch of circumstances has
not already forced you to do SO
determine that during the next year
you will take yourself to market Of a
morning and pick out your own prod
uce to be sent home. Keep note Of
the savings effected and see how many
little special treats it will provide,
5. Well knowing the mans love Of
variety and beauty, resolve to set more
attractive tables 1t can be done at
very little cost if you will give thought
to color contrasts and inexpensive
center decorations.
6. When he reads recipes out of the
evening papers and smscks his lips
over them, determine not to say Yes,
but :. :" about them. Try the new
dish out whenever possible. Many
good recipe that sounds strange turns
out to be perfectly delicious . and
was there ever man who didn't de-
light to hunt them down?

carbon dioxide snow. Consult your
physician about it, He will advise you
If 1t is possible to remove the birth
mark with good results. On the other

you if nothing can be done You may
use suntan cream and face powder

very dainty, artistic type of person,
She probably is gifted with very fine
sensibilities. knowing exactly what TO
do. no matter how difficult the circum-
stance. With this enviable trait, she
would be almost priceless as con-
fidential or social secretary. Her en-
ployer could rest assured that she would
handle any situation cleverly and ad-
vantageously.
Her diplomacy would be valuable In
any kind of organization work, also,
for she would probably be able to enlist
the aid and backing of people more
readily than the average person ever
could. The tightly closed "t" also indi-
Gates a sincerity that would be of worth
in convincing others of the Importance
of any undertaking in which she might
be interested.
Her artistic ability would perhaps ex-
press itself in a very delicate manner.
Soft pastel colors, subtly blended, would
possibly appeal to her most. She might
find great success in interior decorating
If she specialized in designing nurseries
and rooms for young girls. Realizing
that harsh colorS and bizarre arrange
ment would have a detrimental effect
on youthful development, she would
seem to be especially gifted to plan the
more desirable, simple color and furni-
ture schemes.
Though her natural charm and tact
would in all probability carry her sue
cessfully through life, 1t would be we'll

business sense. This would insure
against being taken advantage of by
any unscrupulous persons who might
use her naivete to their advantage.

You have, I think, the wrong solu-
ton to your troubles The girls in the
Office who do the things that you rebel
against and like doing them are not to
blame for your losing your jobs. The
work they do has to be done, and If
they like 1t they are fortunate. AS for
you, I'd say that you are born rebel;
that you rebel not only against your
work but against everything IN your
life
You are utterly unfit to sit at any
desk and do routine work. If you have
the time and money to learn something
more creative, you should do it. I be-
lieve you might do well on the stage.
And even better as a photographer.
And If you have neither the time nor
the money TO do these, it would be a
good thing for you to do something
more restless than Office work-to sell
some product, even if you have to sell
1t from office to office.
Conditions for all people who work
are bad. But think that even if they
were good you could not adjust your
self to any large office or any large
group Of people. You are cut out for
solitary woodwork at which you would
be your own boss, in which your con-
facts with people would be brief and
not long drawn out. That Is why I
suggest selling goods.

Double Chin.

II EAR MISS LEEDs.U am IS
years OF age and beginning to
show signs So Ct d double ,,t,I chin chin;
be kind enough to tell me what
to do for this condition. (2). Also I
notice lately that the muscles Of my
cheeks are beginning to sag. My face
has always been round and full. am
using tissue cream. Is this correct?
MRS. ]. L. H.
Answer-Regular massage and exer-
else and the use of an astringent band
age will make the incipient double chin
melt away and tone the facial muscles.
After cleansing the throat face and
neck with a good cleansing cream or
oil. do a few special exercises that
bring into play the neck and throat
muscles. Throw the head back between
the shoulders. Bend elbows and try to
make them touch behind. Return to
starting position and repeat 5 to 10
times, Throw the head back as before
and rotate the head loosely around the
shoulders, first to right, forward and
then to the left and backward between
the shoulders again.
After the cleansing and exercise pc
Rod, the massage may follow. Pat on
some mild astringent and place the
fingers of both hands at the back Of
your neck, thumbs at the center OF the
throat. Draw the thumbs toward the
ears while you massage the nape of
the neck gently with the fingertips.
Massage In this way for few seconds
and hold the elbows as high as possible.
Stroke the throatline with the finger
tips for several seconds. Gently slap
the eycess fat at the throat and neck
with the back of the hands, palms out
ward. You may use an astringent
bandage after the cleansing, exercise
and massage, in order to tone up the
fabby muscles as the flesh at the throat
is reduced.
Saturate a pad of absorbent cotton
in toilet alcohol or your favorite
astrinRent and bind it over the double
chin like a chin strap. See that the
pad lies against the excess flesh and

covered where Reddy had leaped from
the wall, and moment later the Dog
had taken up the trail in full cry.
Once more Reddy was forced to run.
He found brook where the swift run

low place were several big stones. From
stone to stone Reddy jumped. From
the last one he lightly jumped into the
water at the very edge of the brook

cold. OF course. But what were cold
feet when his life was in danger? For
a short distance he waded. Then he
leaped to the bank. 1t was good
trick, but in the end it was useless.
The hunter guessed what Reddy had
done and soon found the new trail.
Reddy was beginning to feel hopeless.

LEOPARD FROG
Rama yireScens,


THIS leopard can change his spots!
He is brilliant green and yellow
when in his swimming colors,
l. but when he is on the banks OF
the pool or stream he turns a
slate gray or a color which harmonizes
with his surroundings.
AS a leaper he is without an equal
and as a singer Of bass he has no
peer In the early Spring, when he and
his brethren tune up, the combined
voices almost make the earth quake.
His hearing Is very acute, and when
you are startled by what seems to be
a bit of grass and soil leaping into
the air and clearing the banks, as it
disappears in the center of the pool,
you may be sure it is leopard frog
who took no chances when he heard
you approaching.
His eyes are beautiful, the black iris
speckled by fiecks Of gold bronze, with
a band of red gold around the margin
When he winkS, and he often does by
pulling up a membrane and covering
his eye, it makes you feel real chummy
with the old chap, who is an expert
at knowing glances, anyway For ears
he has large disks with small tarntsh-
ed gold spots in the center. His nostrils
are mere specks. He does not have to
get his food by scent. His jaws are
