times It was difdcult for him to be-
ieve that they ever would. A deer's
antlers In the condition Of Lightfoot's
are said to be in the velvet and this
very well describes them.
All through the day he lay In a
thicket on a little ridge. always facing
the way the wind might be blowing
from that his wonderful nose might
pick up such scents as the wind
brought and so warn him Of the ap-
proach of any one from that direction.
And always his big ears were spread
to catch any sound that might be SuS-
picious In the evening and at dawn
he wandered about feeding. but never
far, for he had chosen a place where
food was plentiful. At dawn and dusk
he visited the pond of Paddy the Bea-
yer to drink and sometimes to wade
out for a refreshing and cooling bath.
And each time he would stand and
look at his reflection in the water to
see how those antlers were growing.
Sometimes he saw the twins there
and he knew that now they we're out
in the Great World for themselves, no
longer dependent upon their mother,
for there we're new twins to demand
her care and time. And he knew,
too. about where Mrs. Lightfoot was
keeping them hidden, although he
never intruded there, partly because he
knew that he would not be welcome
and partly because he wanted to keep
out Of Mrs. Lightfoot's sight until he
could appear before her proudly once
more, and this he could not do until
those antlers were fully grown.
So Lightfoot remained in seclusion
and peace and those antlers grew and
grew.

- EEP in the Green Forest in a
most secluded spot Lightfoot
the Deer was living alone. He
~ was alone because he wanted
to be alone. He had selected
that place with care, making sure that
no one else was living in the imme-
diate neighborhood and that it was a
place seldom visited by others. The
Winter had been spent with Mrs.
Lightfoot and the twins, but when
sweet Mistress Spring had brought
fairly warm weather he had slipped
away from them in another part OF
the Green Forest and made his way
carefully and in a roundabout man
ner to this chosen place and here he
had been living by himself ever since.
1t was very quiet and peaceful there
and quiet and peace were what he
most needed, for he was thin and nerv-
GUS and in poor condition. You see
in the Winter he had lost the great
antlers of which he was so proud and
which gave him a feeling of independ-
ence and courage. The dropping of
those antlers, those sharp-pointed
weapons, had given him strange
feeling of helplessness and timidity
All his pride was gone. Not one little
shred of it remained. And lacking
pride he had a feeling of shame. There
was no cause for this, but he had it
just the same. Without those antlers
he wanted to keep out of sight Of
others. He had a feeling that the
twins no longer looked up to him as
he had so proudly worn his weapons.
Certainly they paid less attention to
him, and he missed the admiration in
their big soft eyes which he had so
long been accustomed to.
This had been bad enough when the
antlers had dropped, but as the weeks
passed and new antlers started to
grow in place of the old ones, it be-

fulfill a mission of contrast which can
be accomplished only if the most
modish of colors are used. White and
pale tones continue to hold their fol-

else can eclipse them for smartness.
There is also shade called nude On
less robust types it is delicate and

lovely Cantons and deep crepes. These

who eschew the rejecting qualities of

where he could live undisturbed.
Those new antlers were growing fast
and because of this they took his
strength. The food he ate had to go
to the growing of those new weapons
and they must be grown and hardened
in just few months. So he could not
waste energy and strength in roaming
about. Nor could he run the risk of
injuring those precious antlers, and
they could be very easily injured for
they were spongy and so tender that
he could not bear to have them
touched. They were covered with skin

nothing to suggest that they ever
