old Mother Nature.
OBBY COON was shuf1ing
- along the edge of the Laugh
ing Brook. 1t was a lovely
IL night in late Fall All the
trees save those green all Win
ter had dropped their leaves long since
and the moonlight coming down be-
tween the bare limbs made patches of
light and shadow. 1t was cool, cold
enough for frost, but not cold enough
to make ice. 1t was Just such a night
as Bobby Coon dearly loves And it
was just such a night as hunters of
Bobby Coon delight in.
But Bobby was not worrying about
hunters this night. In fact, he had
| not had to worry once all season. He
had heard Dogs in the distance, but
not in that part Of the Green Forest
owned by Farmer Brown. No hunting
is allowed there; and Bobby had been
too wise to venture beyond where ne
knew that he was safe. He had done
that once in another year and been
caught in trap from which he had
| hnally been rescued by Farmer
Browns Boy. He had never forgotten
the experience.
He was down in the swamp near
the Smiling Pool. He was on the end
OF an old log that lay partly in the
water. The water was very shallow
and beneath this was soft mud. Bobby
had plunged one hand down in this
mud and was cropping and feeling
| about in 1t. He didn't know that
there was anything good to eat down
In that mud, but there might be.
Many a frog had he caught in Just
this way, by just fishing around in
the mud. And in places where the
bottom was more sandy he had found
mussels in the same manner.
To have seen him you might have
thought that he was just padding
IN the water for fun. He wasn't even
looking at what he was doing. He
didn't have to. There was nothing
but water to see, and this was very
muddy because of his stirring of the
mud beneath. He was depending
wholly on his sense of touch.
Down the middle of the Laughing
Brook came a small brown head. 1t
was moving swiftly, for its owner was
swimming as if in hurry. A pair
OF beady eyes caught the motion of
Bobby'S arm and the swimmer turned
that way and then noated a few feet
| away
Fishing for frogs?" inquired Billy
Mink, for this is who the newcomer
| was.
Hello. Billy" exclaimed Bobby and
| then added: Yes or no. l am lust
fishing around on the chance that a
| frog may be in here, but not expecting
to find one. Most Of the frogs have
gone to sleep for the Winter and are
too deep in the mud for me to reach.
I haven't caught one for a long time,
but I'm always hoping to catch one
Now and then one is foolish enough
/ to wait for weather that IS really cold
before going to bed for the Winter. I
! certainly would like another frog"
| Frogs are good eating" agreed
Billy. Il guess l have had my share.

~ ERHAPS Santa Claus brought
you some Christmas money, so
that you might treat yourself
i to gift of your own choosing.
If this is the case, and the gift
was q generous one, your thoughts
might turn toward a fur coat. We
had this in mind and spotted one that
might appeal to you. 1t is sport
model of blocked French lapin in
black, with very large collar, gen.
erous pockets, full sleeves gathered
into narrow cuffs, and lined through
out with flannel plaided in black,
white and gray A scarf of the plaid
adds further warmth to the front
opening. This smart trotteur is very
reasonably priced and one of the new
est designs.
If you want the very last word in a
fur wrap, it is cape in finger-tip
length, also made of the French
blocked lapin, with dropped shoulder
yoke and medium height standing COL
lar which crosses over in the front
and buttons over on either side. This
cape gives a new silhouette that IS
very attractive and is expected to be-
come very popular in the Spring. The
cape is lined with black satin. and Of
course is much dressier than the coat
described above 1t could easily be
used for evening wear, although 1t is
intended primarily for street use.
Or, again, you might treat your
self to a fur wrap for evening.
White lapin is loveliest for this, in
q variety of swagger coats that are
cozy and warm and, because they
are white, look particularly charm
ing with all evening colorS. A bit
more sophisticated is short jacket
of chinchilla with soft roll collar
and capelike sleeves. This, too,
would look we'll over most colors.
IF your Christmas check was of
smaller denomination, and if it so
happened that your friends gave you
everything except hose this year, why
not treat yourself to good supply Of
real good stockings that you will enjoy
wearing for long time and at the
same time will not mean a large ex-
penditure of money. You will want
them to be ringleSs and ShadowleSS
and should insist that you get those
features, no matter what your choice
of weight or color may be. These very
clear hose that are guaranteed to have
no rings or shadows are now made in
every imaginable weight and color,
from the sheerest evening chiffons in
a nude shade called 'soiree" to prac-
tical service weights in daytime neu-
trail colors and built for wear.
If you gave up black stockings years
ago because the rings showed up no
matter how much you paid for hosiery,
you owe it to your ankles to try again

BI BARBARA BELL.

~ OUBLE BREASTED house
dresses are having a vogue
l in domestic circles this sea-
son. Women like them for
their versatility. And be-
sides that, they are temptingly easy
to make-grand, in fact, on which to
take your first sewing lesson.
This model has an advantage over
many others For it is made with a
square neckline that is second to
none in chic. When the top button
is left undone. the dress looks as
smart as though it were destined for
a sports career, and not for fireSide
duty Fastened over, it becomes ef-
fcient and business like. No nom
sense about it. The front panel de-
velops into inside pockets on the
hips-easy to make. Two different
sleeves can be had for the asking.
Note the back view, and see the long,
casual ones that look as though they
had been to college.
Dark contrasts are ever so new and
smart. The trend is toward lighter
shades for the dress itself. One notes
the renewed importance of pastel in
percales. Not the figured percales,
but the ones that are as finely lined
as though they were going into mems
shirts. Little cross lined checks and

and sleeves. The overblouse type Of
frock seems to prevail among the
crepes and for the most part the necks
remain quite high.
A real taste of what we will be
wearing next Summer always appears
about this time in the fashions for
Southern resorts. A charming one
now being shown here is linen jacket
suit using three tones-pink, rose and
raspberry. The hip-length jacket is
soft pink like the upper part of the
dress The skirt is rose-colored linen,
and the belt, embroidered monogram
on the front of the blouse and the
fringed scarf tied about the neck are
of raspberry linen. If this is a fore
taste of what the next season will
bring us, it surely has some tempting
things in store.

pebbly- looking designs give a surface
interest to the solid colors that make
them stylish, without giving them a
rough finish that might catch the
dirt and be hard to launder.
Solid colors include rose, tan, pale
blue, apricot, melon, honeydew and
maize. Prints are active and inter-
esting No doubt about it, prints do
save on the washing. One notes
great deal of red, coupled with crude,
vivid tones, in union with dark colors
that temper their boldness.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1548-B is
designed in sizes IA, Is, 18, 90 40
and AZ. Corresponding bust measures,
80, "a, SO, 38, 40 and 40. Size Is (34)

now that flawless stockings are made
even in the darkest shades. Black
hosiery does do things for legs, and
black is increasingly smart as a
hosiery color this season, with black
high style shade in apparel Equally
fiattering are the off-blacks, such as
Sierra, or the very dark browns, such
as Madrid, which blend or harmonic
with costumes in brown, green or rust
shades.
For those who like, stockings in a
tone that harmonizes with any cos
tune, Valencia is grand shade-a
medium brown with taupe cast. If
you are one of those active people
who are always popping stockings at
the knees you'll find a fit-all-top
stocking that is practically an answer
to prayer. This top is especially
knotted to stretch both ways, so that
when you stoop down to reach low
filing cabinet, or climb up on chair
to hang curtains, you can do so with
out fearing that telltale little snap at
the knee that means another stocking
is gone. One more hint: You'll find
it saves shopping time if you buy
stockings several pairs at time. so
that you don't have the nuisance of
matching up the odd ones later.
If having terribly good time is
using up your supply of evening
frocks faster than you had expect
ed, better get another one even if
1t is an inexpensive one. This
double-duty frock in the sketch is
of misty blue crepe with a col
lar on the jacket of dark blue
velvet. The cluster of flowers is
made from the two materials. The
simplicity of line gives it smart
ness and at the extremely low price
at which it is offered you would be
more than pleased with it.

i've evening gown and one that
will be serviceable on into the Spring.

To String Celery.

Have you ever thought of stringing
celery stalks? Most persons consider
the hearts more delicate, but the large
outer stalks are more juicy, better
favored and without the strings just
as tender, besides being more eco
nomical. This is how to do it: Take
clean stalk and break it, do not cut,
near the base, so that the tough,
coarse strings are torn loose from the
stalk. Then carefully peel them off
in bunch all the way to the end.
A little practice will give you the
knack. The stalks may then be, cut
up for Waldorf salad or for creamed
celery, or they may be stuffed for a
fancy dish, or just eaten plain.

Pork, ham, bacon or sausage is

offered In attractive form to tempt
the appetite even when one Is not

not ones regular meal time. More

That Moratorium Decision
VALLEY City Times-Record)

Nvduey IlLy 1lUleSeHeCOTO)
It IS being asserted at political
meetings that the U. 8. Supreme Court
and the Minnesota Supreme Court
held the Minnesota mortgage mora
forum law valid and that the North
Dakota Supreme Court declared the
North Dakota mortgage moratorium
law unconstitutional, and this is be-
ing used as an election argument
against the present justices who are
up for reelection. The assertion as
above IS true as to what the courts
did, but the implication that the two
laws were just alike is false one,
and the use Of the argument against
our supreme court justices is an ex-
cellent example Of how facts may be
twisted to delude and deceive the vot-
|erS.
The U. 8. Supreme Court did hold
the Minnesota moratorium law valid,
by a to 4 decision. showing that four
Of the justices were not convinced that
1t was valid. But the Minnesota law
was not the same as the North Da-
kota law. The Minnesota law pro-
vided for court action to determine
whether the immediate foreclosure OF
the mortgage would unduly penalize
the debtor, and II the court found
there was danger Of this then the time
OF foreclosure was extended and the
debtor was required to pay a certain
rental for use Of the land for the
time the settlement was extended. The
North Dakota law was an entirely
different thing, as 1t declared an alb
solute moratorium In favor of the deb
tor with no regard for the interest
OF the holder Of the mortgage. In
this latter phase it was very evident
~ taking away the property Of one
party, the mortgage holder, without
due process Of law, and that is what
makes 1t unconstitutional, for the con-
Stitution distinctly says that taking
anyone's property without due pro-
cess Of law is forbidden.
The two laws are thus very differ
ent. In the Minnesota case the U. 8.
Court was so nearly divided as to show
that a very little advantage was given
in favor Of UNFOLDING the validity Of
the law. and had the North Dakota
law been before the court 1t Is prac-
ttcally certain that 1t would have
been held unconstitutional. The de-
cision Of the U. s. Court shows that
the justices who approved 1t were
influenced by the fact that the law
provided for the interests Of the mort
gage holder as well as by the proyi-
sion for the relief Of the debtor. In
other words the rights Of both parties
were given consideration, as any fail
court u bound to give.
To imply, as the campaign state
ments do, that the North Dakota Su.
preme Court was taking advantage Of
the poor debtor by holding the N. D
moratorium unconstitutional on ths
basis Of the other decision Is dirt,
politics. The only fair basis for com.
parison would b: II the two laws were
alike, which they most decidedly wsr;
not. and the said campaign statement.
