rabies The red fox lives to be IS years

fox.
The red fox weds in February or
March and the husband Is a faithful,
thoughtful mate, who brings food to
their babies. There are from four to
nine cubs born in April. The nursery
is called den or earth" which is a
hole excavated by the parents and
made comfortable for them. There is
an extra room leading from the living
room that is used as store room The
babies are fuzzy and look like kittens.
On the ninth day they open their eyes
and remain in the nursery until they
are weeks old. BY August they are
almost grown but they stay with their
parents. BY Winter they have home
Of their own.
Foxes have no bedtime. They keep
no regular hours for sleeping or eat
ing. When hungry, they go hunting,
and when tired. they lie down In some
exposed place and go to sleep. This is
not as reckless as it sounds. They look
like q great yellow stone, lying on some
hill or In a hollow or perched on q
stump or resting on log. With q
clear field before them they can make
quick escape.
The fur Of the red fox is an I'M
portant article of commerce A prime
skin will bring about $40. The fur is
long and soft, rusty or yellowisn red
on the back. The underparts are white.
the feet black. The handsome, bushy
tail often is used by the fox as a muf,
and in the cold weather you will only
see its nose and pads exposed. The tail
or brush curls about the animal and
keeps it perfectly warm. It is said that
II the tail were cut off, the fox would
perish with the cold.

blossoms, bud and leaf, and for q square
geometric motif. Several arrangements
of motifs are pictured. The motifs are
exactly right for this fascinating crochet
in angora wool OF course, other yarns
can be used, and the motifs combined IN
other ways, as suggested on the pattern
sheet. For the new craze of crocheted
dress trimming a fine angora yarn
should be used.
Crochet as many motifs as needed,
adding to the number if needed. Ar
range and baste on stiff paper pat
tern of any preferred style of cuffs and
collar eqaulets, revers, etc. The ar
rangement can be symmetrical. as q
flower with leaves about it and one or
more buds, in spray style, or the pat
terms can be powdered with the circular
flowers only. Squares or circular flow
ers can form border for such patterns.
or the edge Of collar and cuffs can have
shells or picots for finishing touches
Take stitches of triple strands of the
angora yarn to form network connect
ing motifs Buttonhole stitch over these
lines. Finish edges as described Or
arrange and baste the motifs on q cotton
cloth foundation and connect with q
network of plain or picoted chain stitch.
The cloth is more flexible than the
paper, and is preferable as foundation
when working the background in
crochet.
A recommended color scheme found
on some of the latest French models
consists of motifs of white angora
against background of angora, match
ing the color of the frock, or a shade
lighter or darker than the frock. An
other scheme is beige background with
brown motifs or with flowers and buds
In color with green leaves.

less prevented from rising by the cler-
gyman or his wife. When a woman
rises to greet clergyman it is usually
because OF respect for his age and ven-
Grafton for his calling-both A gen.
tleman must rise when spoken to by
any lady, and under ordinary circum-
stances he would rise to greet a man
much older than himself or a clergy
man. But in most denominations a
young clergyman would not expect a
father who is holding the baby to stand.
At least I woud not think so.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have yet to hear
any one address our clergyman in any
other way than as Rev. Jones I was

stances"

he is Mr.. Jones (unless he is Father

not I am allowed the same right to
convention on the other evenings"
Answer-This all depends on what
you mean by dress" You would not
go alone into a restaurant in any type
of dress that attracts undue attention
If the restaurant is in the hotel where
you are living, wear simple semi-evc-
ming dress and no hat (same at con-
cert). If you go out to a restaurant,
wear day dress and small hat.

r Y YOOL crochet is one Of the

w YOOL crochet is one of the
smartest new fashions in
wv dress trimmings. A favor
ite wool in which to develop
the crochet is angora yarn.
The filamentS Of feathery finenesS form
q downy mesh covering tnterstices be-
tween stitches, suggesting a cobweb of
weaving. This makes the work particu-
larly pleasing with textiles OF wool
whether in regulation weaves or In
those belonging to the group Of knitted
weaves Of which there are so many at
present. The reason for this is that wool
has wee. downy-fronded strands, Of in
fnitesimal length compared with those
OF angora yarn, to be sure, yet the fla
ments are inherent elements Of one as
Of the other medium. It Is easy to see
how admirably well-suited to the trim
ming mentioned Is the angora yarn
crochet.
The novelty element is intensified by
having the ornamental units OF the cro-
Chet color contrasting with the joining
stitchery, which forms background to
further accent the beauty of the work.
This background stitchery may be of
open-work crochet or Of buttonhole
stitch. The worker has her preferences
only to consult, In deciding between
these two kinds of stitchery, as one is as
suitable as the other.
Flower and foliage designs are in high
favor for the ornamental motifs, and
geometric designs are also popular. A
pattern sheet of motifs to develop in
crochet can be had for 10 cents, accom-
panied by a stamped (3-cent). self-ad-
dressed envelope. with a request sent to
Lydia LIE Baron Walker, care of this
paper. The pattern sheet is illustrated

move. If my partner could now only

have two or three small diamonds, both

for the other one of these two and bid
six diamonds, enabling me to 60 six

Red Fox.
Vulpes fulva.
~ o YOU remember the fox OF
Aesops tales? This Is the
descendant Of that clever fox
IL From time immemorial, the
English red fox has been
noted for his cleverness and cunning
The red fox found in Maryland, west
virginia Virginia. North Carolina and
tennessee is considered far superior to
the one so famous in Europe. .
It takes O very Quick-witted dog 10

and endurance are beyond the UNDER
standing of the average dog. fox
hunter will assure you that there Is no
sport In the world that surpasses the
fox hunt, with the red fox leading the
baying hounds over hill and dale.
The older foxes are so experienced
they circle about and retrace their
steps. This. of course, confuses their
pursuers. The younger ones. not so
wise, run in straight line.
As a matter of precaut1on, foxes
establish runways through valleys and
swamps. They have shrub-covered
paths across the hills and along the
water courses. These are used when
the fox is doing his own hunting, and
when the dogs are hot on his heels he
resorts to these secret paths. The
hunter who Is wise to their ways To-
Gates these hidden by-ways, and knows
Just where to find the cunning schem-
erS.
The range of this fox, when in resi-
dence, is about five miles. This is known
as his home range. When food Is
scarce. the hunting, of course, must go
beyond this limit Small mammals,
such as frogs, birds, meadow mice,
hares, poultry and squirrels, supply the
hunter with food.
The enemies have to be coped with
on every turn, wolves and lynxes being
ever on the watch for fine plump
red fox. Eagles cruise about the sky.
and with their keen vision can find a
reG fox creeping along the ground.
The fox is so eager 70 pounce upon his
prey that he is unaware of his own
danger, and the eagle has been known
to get both the fox and mouse.

If the bidding has been-one heart by
you, three hearts, do not hesitate to
bid four diamonds. If your partner can
now bid four spades the slam is sure
and 1t is chiefly question of grand
slam. Your next bid would then be
five diamonds, showing at least 10 red
cards. Your partner should settle the
final contract by his next bid, as you
have told him exactly what you have.
Second Suit Is Weak in Tops.
It Is always a bit risky to bid q suit
not headed by top cards as part Of a
slam try. Nevertheless, If the values
are In the hand, you must do it. How
ever I would insist on that suit being
headed by its king; lacking that. would
rebid my first suit and hope to be
allowed to make belated slam try
later. One cannot bid in terms Of no
trumps with a singleton. so that the
only alternative is to sign off in the
original suit or to bid the second suit.

three-heart response, intending to sign

I would be eager to give him that op-
portunity, as there is likelihood that he
has diamonds with me. Otherwise. his
three primary and secondary tricks
would be precisely the ace, jack uf
spades and ace-king of clubs; or if he
had the king Of hearts his clubs might
be ace-queen or even king-queen-jacK.
Anyhow. II my partner is strong enough
