BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.
A GROUP Of college girls who knew
Peters sister well and belonged to
the same sorority were having the best
time at a party given by Dorothy, an
other sorority sister.
The girls had been invited to play
bridge. They came, eager to see each
other again and to hear all the latest
Summer gossip. Then they had to dis
cuss the coming year at college and
compare notes on courses they would
and would not take. Grace. who had
finished college last June, said she en-
We'd the girls another year back at the
dear old school, but some way she did
not seem to be as downhearted as she
might have been.
During the evening and before the
refreshments were served messenger
boy brought o sheaf of kilograms.
Each girl had one addressed to her
self.
1t was not until later that the group
remembered that Grace made no offer
to read hers aloud, but waited until
all the others had been opened.
The kilograms were all signed Mrs.
Pepys." The girls caught on at once
for they knew what an inveterate old
gossiper her husband had been. All
of them had read his diary, written in
almost telegraphic style.
One wire read: Visited harbor
last night and saw well-known bach
elor with popular girl in blue"
Another one read, "Rumor says tall
graceful couple will middle aisle it in
Fall Still another held this cryptic
allusion, Not every girl has the grace
to blush" Finally the hostess said:
Grace, you have not read yours.
What does yours say?" And Grace
read, why don't you show them the
new ring?" and the secret was out.
Grace was announcing her engage
ment to a well-known bachelor who
had a Summer home near Grace's
home on the beach front.

coats men are wearing this Fall. A
knitted tie has a vale stripe and
brown colorings. A tartan plain wool
tie has the necessary color and tex
ture to make it an important part
of a well-put-together outdoor outfit.
A chamois upper waistcoat, sleeve
less and collarless, is for wear on cold
days under sweater, and on mild
days In place of a sweater.
The most important new develop
ment in sweaters is the half-belted
type with pleats, Stimulating the regu-
lar sports coat in tweeds and home
spun fabrics. It adds to the natural
residence of the knitted fabric the
extra freedom of the half-belt and
pleated back.
A tattersan waistcoat for outdoor
wear, especially good for horseback
riding, will be seen in golf galleries
and wherever well-dressed men come
together to watch an outdoor sporting
event.
A wing-tip brogue, perforated, in a
soft grained Norwegian leather, is
brown, of course. A straight-tip
brogue, with pinked and perforated
trim is in brown buck leather, well
suited to rough outdoor wear. The
popular moccasin is a single shade of
brown, the leather being modified
Scotch grain.
Leather is always right for outdoor
wear. A brown suede jacket, with
full upper front, side tabs and slash
pockets is sensible outdoor garment
to wear for anything from trout fish
ing to golf.
Socks colorful enough for Fall, 1884,
wear being of wool. have the strength,
warmth and comfort to make them
satisfactory for real outdoor wear.
These include a bright, hand-woven
Argyle, a neat three-color check, and
a rabbits wool horizontal striped sock
in bright Fall colors.

can see how beautiful they are, or
even how clever. And to examine
this cereal eater under a lens, you
will see how very handsome he Is.
I would advise careful handling.
He has been accused of not caring
where he sends his tobacco juice. 1t
Is a dark brown liquid hard to
remove. But it is not really meant
that the insect chews tobacco. That
fluid is his life blood and he is
scared stiff. At least that is what
has been explained to me and ex-
perience bears it out.
Did YOU ever look a graSShopper
in the eye? He really looks intelli!
gent. Those horn-like looking pro-
jections are his feelers. When he
strolls along the leafy stem they are
bent forward. Did you ever see more
efficient thighs on an insect? These
are responsible for those high Jumps
we see him take. The high jumper
has no sense Of direction, however,
and he is just as likely to jump
from the frying pan into the fire" "
The life history of the various
species of grasshopperS that destroy
our crops is almost identical. After
YOU have read the account of the
family life of the Differential, you
have a pretty good idea of all OF
them.
The mother has a wonderful ap-
paratus at the tip of her abdomen,
called an egg-placer. She selects a
bit Of ground and by muscular con-
traction she gradually makes a hole
in the soil. Then she begins to lay
her eggs at the end of the tunnel
she has formed. One grasshopper
mother can lay great many eggs
and they are always placed close to
the food supply her children will
need. The eggs are inclosed in sacs,
or pods" formed Of a strong gluti-
nous substance that is damp proof.
Then the pocket is sealed. The
mother has completed her mission in
life and bright-eyed bird is likely
to dine on her before few days have
elapsed. Where the ground is hard
ened and baked by the sun, the
mother lays her eggs in the crowns
of plants.
This ceremony of egg laying occurs
late in the Summer. The young
grasshoppers do not appear until
food is ready for them. The time
being different in various climates.
In the South you may see lively
youngsters stirring about in February,
but in the North it is as late as May
or June.
There is no time wasted by grass
hoppers. Their offspring do not go
through the grub stage or resting
stage as do beetles and butterflies. No,
when the grasshopper baby steps out
of his shell, all he has to do is to cut
his way through the door his mother
placed at the tunnel or step from a
plant crown and he Is ready for
business.
1t takes from 10 to 80 days for the
grasshopper to reach maturity. That
does not mean he has not been doing
lot Of damage while he Is growing
up to manhood. He has not had
wings. When these are acquired, he
finds his mate and weds.

sportswear.
The V-neck sweater is in very light
weight angora wool in a natural tan
shade, so light that the wearer hardly
knows he has it on, yet effectively
warm and mbelievably comfortable.
The string glove, in white and nat
ural, is more popular this Fall than
in many years. There is gauntlet
glove, the cuff of which comes well
above the wrist, without clasp or but
ton of any kind. A slip-on glove has
side slit, which makes it easy to
put on. Pigskin and cape are two
popular feathers in these last two
gloves.
Headgear liked by motorists and
golfers this Fall includes the neat
hound tooth check shetland pattern
in a one-piece cap. The new pork
pie model in scratched felt is good
in a medium shade of green. A
featherweight felt hat is in the be-
coming snap-brim model.
A heavier version of the polo shirt,
which swept the country like wildflre
this past Spring and Summer, Is more
suitable for Fall and Winter active
sports
A shirt in finelystriped flannel is
unsurpassed for warmth without
weight, having the colorful quality
men want in their outdoor apparel
this Fall. One shirt Is the negligee
type collar, button-down oxford,
whose perspiration-absorb qualities
sportsmen have long recognized.
A natural color suede windbreaker,
with knitted cuff and tail and upper
opening has two patch pockets that
will hold any number of golf balls

lTHOUGH this handsome fellow
is found almost over the
Whole United States. only
i scientists know his name. To
most of us who have seen the
CLASSY winged fellow, it is plain
grasshopper with yellow and black
color scheme.
You do not have to know the name
or how your enemy was dressed to
remember him. 1t Is his deeds that
count. And surely this portly high
jumper has left enough destruction
in his wake.
In the Middle Western States and
the Southwest he goes after cereal
and forage crops, such as: Corn, oats,
wheat, bluegrass, sorghum, alfalfa
and clover.
The reason for such high sound
ing name is easy to explain. When
there are so many insects to be
named and classified, outstanding
characteristics or color gives those
who have this responsibility clue.
In the case with this buccaneer Of
the fields, 1t was his hind legs.
Usually this grasshopper is q
yellowish color with clear CLASSY hind
wings that are about one and a half
inches long. The hind legs are
clearly marked with yellow and black,
the colors are arranged in chevron-
shaped bars on the sides Of his
thighs.

dition, and he was far from this be-
cause of the drain on his strength
caused by the rapid growing OF those
new antlers.
With his slender nose extended to
catch every little scent he stood mo-
tionless. Those Dogs hadn't found
trail yet, and perhaps they wouldn't.
He hadn't been over where they were.
Perhaps after all they were merely
hunting for Jumper the Hare or
Reddy Fox.
The scent came to him stronger
now. 1t caused the hair on his neck
to briStle more than ever. He looked
over at Mrs. Lightfoot. She, too, had
caught that scent and understood
what it meant. She was standing
motionless, her great soft eyes wide
with fright as she gazed in the di-
rection from which that dreaded scent
was coming. For perhaps two
minutes she stood thus. Then there
sounded an eager whine followed by
a sharp yelp. A Dog had found the
scent of some one. Was 1t Jumper
the Hare or Reddy Fox? Or was it
Deer scent he had found? Lightfoot
was uncertain, but Mrs. Lightfoot
knew. 1t was her scent. That yelp
came from where she had been feed
ing that morning. There was another
eager yelp, followed by another and
another. That Dog had picked up
the trail.
Mrs. Lightfoot bounded forward
toward those Dogs instead Of away
from them. Lightfoot instantly un-
derstood what she meant. She was
going to meet them, to make sure
that they followed her. She was
thinking of those helpless fawns lying
hidden somewhere in nearby thicket.
She meant to lead those Dogs away
from them, no matter what might
happen to herself.
Iightfoot was safe. He knew It..
Those Dogs would follow her, run
her until perhaps she fell exhausted.
She was in no better condition to
run than was he, for she was nurs-
ing those fawns. Lightfoot hesitAted
for a minute, but for a minute only.
Then he reached q decision. He
bounded out of that thicket and head
ed for point between Mrs. Lightfoot
and those Dogs.

expectations. II the responder be-
lieves that there Is q slam IN the
hand he has an opportunity to con-
struct over two no trumps by bidding
second suit-one In which he holds
an ace. Without such construction
the opener should realize that the
responder has a long, fairly strong
spade suit and is simply avoiding the
sign-off.
(c) The opener gives q jump bid in
another suit over the one-over- lone.
With the first hand the responder will
again sign of by bidding three spades.
With the second hand the responder
will give a preference bid, unless the
bidding has gone-one club, one
spade, three diamonds. In that case
the correct response is three no
trumps.
If partner then bids four diamonds,
showing five-flve or six-five distri-
button, the responder should raise to
five diamonds.
Take the opening bid Of one no
trump, for example. Under any sys-
| hand. Yet with
| Spades xxx Diamonds Xxx
| Hearts Xxx Clubs A @ XXX
most players will first bid two clubs
and then, over the probable bid OF
two no trumps, sign off with three
clubs. Bid three no trumps over two
no trumps. Reserve the sign-off for
this holding:
| Spades xxx Diamonds Xxx
| Hearts Ky Clubs X Xxx
Otherwise, when you actually have
a sign-of your partner will go on to
an unmakable game and point out
that similar bidding a few minutes
ago resulted in hand being played
at three clubs when you and he could
have made four no trumps against
any opening.

The Sign-0ff.
"HERE would be fewer remarks
made about unbid games if
more players knew the value
L of the sign-off. Because an
opening one bid is rarely
passed, provided partner has any dis
tributive values, the subsequent
bidding must be guided by the re-
sponder. Having given one-over-
one in spades on the following hand,
Spades Q 1Oxxxx Diamonds xxx
Hearts Qxx Clubs
the responder must correctly sign off
the bidding by rebidding his own suit.
But give him this hand
Spades A @ l0xxx Diamonds Xxx
Hearts @ X Clubs
and the Sign-off would be misleading
Here is the way the bidding should
be handled with the two hands, when
(a) Partner bids one club, and over
one spade responds with two dia-
mondS or two hearts. With the first
hand the responder may pass the sec
ondary bid. With the second hand
he bids two spades. This is not a
definite sign-off, as the responder is
not obligated to bid again-although
he is strongly encouraged to do so.
(b) Partner bids one in a suit and
after the one-over-one in spades
jumps to two no trumps. With the
first hand the sign-of is now given
three spades. With the second, the
responder in order to void the sign
of should jump to four spades.
1t may be argued that this jump

ND sometimes that is very

II of true character and courage.
L u 1t is all the harder to face
when it is wholly unexpected.
Liphtfoot the Deer, hidden IN a
thicket near where Mrs. Lightfoot
had her pretty little fawns hidden,
had for some time been filled with
uneasiness and couldn't account for
It. He felt the presence of danger,
danger to himself, yet he could think
of no one whom he had cause to
fear at this season Of the year. In
vain he had tested every Merry Little
Breeze that had wandered into that
thicket. In vain he had listened for
some telltale sound. In vain he had
looked for some suspicious movement.
Yet that feeling of uneasiness, the
certainty that something was wrong,
had grown. He had seen Mrs. Light
foot come out of another thicket, and
he knew instantly from the way she
acted that she, too, was uneasy and
worried. And then suddenly Merry
Little Breeze had brought to his sensl-
tive nose lust the fainteSt whlf1 OF
strange and disturbing scent. 1t
caused the hair to rise on his shoul-
ders and neck and his eyes to flash
with anger.
"Dogs!" exclaimed Lightfoot under
his breath. Dogs IN the Green For
est! They wouldn't be here unless
they are hunting, and if they are
hunting it probably is for me or for
Mrs. Lightfoot or the babies. Dogs
have no business in the Green Forest
at this time of year; it isn't the hunt
ing season"
His eyes blazed with indignation.
He wanted to stamp with anger, but
he didn't. He suddenly remembered
those tender, growing antlers, not
only useless for defense, but a serious
handicap, for they could so easily
be seriously injured. Fear mingled
with his anger. He had nothing to
fight with but his sharp hoofs, and
he was in no condition to outrun
those dogs. To run long and hard
