with strong legs. Try to catch one
and see how efficient they are. The
tail is long and tapering and the head
is pointed. On the upper part Of
the head there are large. symmetrical
shields. The scales on the body are
very fine ard granular. The under
part of the body is plated like the
alligator's. The tail is covered with
coarse rings or scales.
The tongue Of the lizard Is most
useful member 1t is strongly forked
at the tip, blackish and snake-like
1t is used by the lizard for exploring
Every Granny and spot is subjected
to its touch as it darts here and there
with lightning like movements.
1t is by the color that you recog-
nize the species. There is but one
genus to be found in North America.
The striped lizards do not seem to
care much about climbing. They like
the hot, sandy places, borders of roads
and sun-baked logs.
In the sub-arid plains of Western
Texas and the hot deserts of the Far
West they seek shallow burrows in the
sand at night. When being pursued
by their enemies they make a bee
line for these safety places and dis
appear in them with such lightning
like rapidity you are not sure your
sight is so good after all.
The race-runnerS are not only swift,
they are alert. They are even known
to retrace their steps and fool their
enemy.
They evidently remember the loca-
ton of a mouse-hole. a hollow log
or a sheltering object. And with q
speed no man can match they make
for this refuge.
These lizards are insect chasers,
though the older members of the
family are not above stealing tiny eggs
belonging to bird neighbors who have
built upon the ground. The clever
thief breaks the shell of the egg with
his strong jaws and laps up the spill
ing contents with his fiat-forked
tongue.
All the females in this species lay
thin -shelled eggs. Little interest Is
taken by the mother in her children.
Truth to tell, she feels she has done
her whole duty when she scoops out
hollow in the sand for a nursery.
Then she covers them with blanket
of sand and lets the sun do tbs
Matching.
One fortunate thing about so many
of natures children is that they are
born with a knowledge of taking care
of themselves. No doubt the baby
lizard, just a few moments after
escaping from his shell, will expertly
dart out his wee forked tongue and
harpoon a tiny insect cruising by.

The Old Gardener Says:

Two charming shrubs have
given so much pleasure the past
Spring that they may well be in
cluded in any planting list for
the coming Fall. One Is Vibur-
mum Carlesi, sometimes known as
the Mayflower Viburnum, but
more commonly as the Korean
Viburnum. This shrub actually
came from Korea, but apparently
is hardy in all parts of the United
States. Its flowers come very
early and are remarkably fra
grant. Viburnum fragrants Is
much less widely distributed, but
is finding its way into various
nurseries. 1t seems particularly
we'll adapted to Middle West con-
ditions, sometimes Towering in
February. 1t likes a dry, sandy
soil, however, not fiourishing very
well in soils which are wet or
heavy.

Choice Of Busy Hostess in Summer Colony
Crisp Evening Dress Is Made of
Transparent Organdie With
Seersucker Surface.
BY BARBARA BELL.

RISP evening dresses made OF
transparent organdie with
seersucker surface are the ia
vorite choice of busy hostesses
In smart Summer colonies
and of women who dance a great deal
and who, therefore, have to replenish
their evening clothes frequently
throughout the season.
The model shown today is one that
smart people are finding useful, and II
you are looking forward to season
of social excitement, it is dress we'll
worth owning 1t is made OF beautiful
white organdie, preshrunken, OF
course, so that it can be tossed into
the family wash every week, as in
formally as though 1t were kitchen
apron. Because of these trips to the
laundry the dress is made along plain,
practical lines, the trimming being
limited to full fiounce at the bottom
and a deep square collar, individual
lied by ruff1ed detail in the front.
The transparency Of the fine fabric
Is given an opportunity to show itself
OH III LIle uOdLuls OuI4lllCo ol hAiC
sailor collar motif that is followed out
in the back of the dress.
Organdie scores high as an evening
fabric this season. especially when it
is crinkled in weave showing the
seersucker influence or exploiting all
over motifs of Swiss lineage. Few
other cottons contribute more of
complete sense of SmartneSs to the
wearer. White leads as a Summer
favorite. It is found more adaptable
to interchangeable accessories speak
ing of which it is we'll to add that
red is the most popular, especially
when worn in carefully matched sets.

The striped lizards, or race-runners,

All through life these lizards retain
their stripes. The six-lined lizard is
a handsome creature, one of the
smallest members of the species. In
all, it is about 10 inches long, the
tail being nearly 7 of that length.
The body color is a dark brown.
There are six bright yellow stripes
that start at the head and run to the
base of the tail, where they fade out
On the middle of the back there is
a broad, pale-brownish band. This

assumed A Clark Gable-ish chauffeur piloted
her to 3 glistening car Of streamne propor-
tions and omnibus magnitude. Obviously Davis
Yarrow was a good provider. as well as pure
husband.
Helen fitted into the gorgeous house with rs
much ease and charm as its graceful symmetry
of brick and stone blended with the gently
sloping countryside.
Welcome to Beechwood, SarIta darlineH
Sarita said, as Helen kissed her: Its grand

I were married less than year later Junior
Is and Helena is and 4 months.
Incredible! I'm dying to see them!"
They're eating their supper in the nursery
now; we can slip up to see them.
Such fun to be here" Sarita said it more to
reassure herself than to Helen. She felt al
most as though Mrs. Davis Yarrow were .
stranger.
Davis will be home soon.' Helen was con-
tinuing He is so conscientious about his
business that he never leaves until the $40;
he thinks it sets a bad example to 60 before
the others That's the way he is about every
thing-never thinks of himself.
Sounds like the perfect husband!' Sar1ta
was batting her deliberately.
He is" Helen did not hesitate. "You can't
imagine any one more adoring devoted"
so I've heard
"Janey told you about him, suppose? She
is the only one of the girls who has seen him.
Poor Janey. I understand that her husband
Is 50 untrue to her"
II shouldn't go as far as that. Jim merely
plays around q bit"
"Oh, darling, you aren't married-yo0 don't
know about men! You can't see Jim Mallon
in his true colors. If we're Janey I'd divorce
him Still, suppose she's helpless with those
three youngsters" Helen sighed eomplacentiy,
"and not much money"

- and her great -grandmother's gold tassel
earrings, sat in q high chair In Helen's
formal drawing room, and felt exactly IS

Wales.
Janey Mallon hadn't mentioned Davis Yar-
rows physical attractions. With all his other
perfections he deserved to be homely. Sur
prisngly. he wasn't. He tall and well set
up with regular features, a fraction too sharp,
and a prominent chin. His hair was black
with one deep wave.
He shook her hand as though it was the
last tiresome duty in . busy day, and mumbled
something about: Good Of you to come down
to keep Helen company" He was dismissing
her, treating her as though she were 10 and
having been permitted to come into the parlor
to curtsey to the head of the house
Sarita furious. No host, no matter how
rich how important, how devoted to his wife,
could treat her like this She was accustomed
to attention Difference admiration. Yes ad-
miration-that was it! Her sense of humor
came to the fore and she almost laughed aloud.
Wasn't that exactly what she had told Janey
Mallon she longed to escape? Admiration from
flirtatious husbands. Davis Yarrcw had merely
called her bluff! And she didn't like it.
you've had a hard day, dear" Helen
soothed. as ne gave her resounding kiss.
Obviously. she didn't expect the usual amenities
of host from her husband.
Another conference with Barnard" he said.
"He's impossible. And Hale isn't much better"
1t wasn't so much what he said as the way he
said 1t that made Sarita feel like the thirteenth
chair at q dinner table. Perhaps he's just shy
with strangers, she thought He'll warm up
later-open his eyes to the fact that I have
q rather nice wave of my own, and q few other
feminine assets
But he didn't. At the end Of the third day.
which Wednesday, Sarita thought that
she could have counted the words he had
addressed to her.
Il don't believe Davis likes me-" she couldn't
resist saying to Helen.

Sarita knew that something was expected Of
her. Very admirable" she murmured lamely.
1t was admirable-like Puritancal conscience
but rather grim. Against her voition, her
thoughts strayed again to Len Creighton She
wondered how many women-young and at
tractive, old and unattractive-had been hap
pier for brief moment because he had looked

AS THOUGH reminded by her thought q

terrupted the conversation.

fingers are having . dinner party Friday and
want you to 80 with me-"
It was good TO hear his voice. Even over
the wire, it had q caressing resonance, = half
mocking tenderness, very different from the
possessive dominance in Davis Yarrows voice
when he spoke to Helen.
I'm staying until Monday. I'm sorry-"
Shed be ready to go by Friday. Could she
think Of excuse? Helen was hearing every
word.
Then I'll ask Eve Delevan, Len was saying
complacently. 1t didn't help when he added:
II miss you like the devil. I'll meet you at the
station Monday"
oh don't bother-I don't know about

But when she left the telephone she toyed
with the idea of leaving Friday. She and
Helen were talked out.
Conveniently she developed slight cold.

explained Il thought he had gone hours ago.
