UNCLE WIGGILY AND
LULU'S DRESS

clean dresses for the afternoon,
Lulu didn't want to, but her moth
er said she must. So Lulu did.
Though she wished she might be a
boy duck she obeyed her mother.
When lulu heard her brother
and some of the other boy animals
talk of going to the woods after the
football game to have some fun,
she decided she would trail along
after them.
They won't let me come with
them if they see me-" said Lulu to
herself as she smoothed down the
clean dress her mother had made
her put on. 80 I'll have to sneak
along behind them. Once they get
where they are going and I'm there
they won't send me home"
So Lulu followed the animal boys
to the woods and trailed along af-
ter them, keeping out of their
sight. She could hear them just
ahead Of her but, after while, she
lost them. She could neither see
nor hear them.
Up IItC
IF 1 could get up in a tree I
could see better" quacked Lulu. Il
could see Jimmie and the others
then. I'll fly up into a tree and
look"
So Lulu, in her clean dress, flew
up into tree. She could see a
long way then and she caught
sight of Jimmie and the other boys
ahead. They had built a fire and
started to roast apples.
"Oh, joy!" quacked Lulu. Til
join them" But when she tried to
fly down out of the tree she
couldn't. Her clean dress had
caught on a sharp branch and
tangled around it so poor Lulu was
held fast.
oh, help! help! help!" she
quacked. Save me, somebody"
The boys were too far away to
hear her quacking. But Uncle Wig
gily was hopping around in the
woods looking fer an adventure.
He heard Lulu quack. He saw her
caught by her dress up in the tree
and he hoped to save her. Reach
ing up with his knife, the rabbit
gentleman cut the branch on which
Lulu's dress was tangled. Then she
could fly down
Her dress wasn't even torn, SO
careful was Uncle Wiggily. Then
Lulu told him about the apple roast
and he took her where the animal

That combination would make grand

the same idea for dress-up occasions
the skirt might be Of velvet and the

Combine natural colored blouse
with deep green skirt. Have the
blouse of blue. dull and with a purple
tone, and combine it with a dregs of
wine skirt, and scarf, and belt. Wear
a gray skirt and have a mustard
blouse, or use green, dull and fat,
with rust. Honey color and black are

Of fuchsia are very striking with cactus

there's plenty of back work to do.

down to the waistline. Coiffures are
climbing high. There's talk about the
sweet young nape of the neck show

below it. that area between the

evening dresses are hanging by next

You can get at it yourself, but not

bone of the college girls wardrobe!
The possibilities of variety in color
and material are numerous, and even
though the costume is about as prac-

well as the budget, as it can be, it Is
the one that seems to have been adopt
ed by the college girl as her uniform.
Sometimes she changes the blouse for
knitted sweaters, but the idea Is the
same.
This skirt has deep, inverted pleat
in back and front and is beautifully
fitted over the hips, having that
straight, trim line which marks the
well-tailored garment. The blouse
slips over the head and buttons on
the shoulders, where there is a shall
low yoke. The sleeves are long, but.
like as not, the young lady will push
them above the elbows, in fat roll,
especially if the blouse is of wool
jersey, or some other soft woody stuff.
AS for materials, the skirt will. no
doubt, be of tweed, nice nubbly one,
and the blouse of the aforementioned
jersey, or velveteen. Or, the skirt
might be of velveteen. and the blouse
of soft wool; wool challis is very smart,

lacks beauty as II she did not exist,
no matter If she possesses every other
charm and virtue, but women make
no such discrimination against an
ugly man. They regard his other quail
tiles instead of his face, and II he is

ed and who had pale eyes and no
eyebrows to speak of, no matter how
witty and entertaining she was, nor
what a good dancer. But girls are
flattered to death at the attention of
men who are as ugly as gargoyles, If
they know how to talk and how to give
a party and how to make them have
good times. Most men look at only
the outside Of girls head. and If that
is ornamental they don't consider
whether she has any brains or heart
or not. But women pay small atten-

that matter to them are the mems in

And because women are so little in

because men are entirely influenced
by beauty in a woman, women show
more intelligence in judging men than
men do in judging women.
