A loud shrek from the big whistle,

Christmas morning dawned upon a

Inside the ranch house a fire of
cracking logs threw its ruddy glow

SAMMY JAY ARRIVES

MIHEN Reddy Fox arrived at
w the pond of Paddy, the Beaver,
the hunter who was hiding there
saw him instantly. So did Light
foot, the Deer. But no one else did.
He approached In that cautious,
careful way that he always uses
when he is hunting. The instant he
reached place where he could see
all over Paddy's pond he stopped as
suddenly as If he had been turned
to stone. He stopped with one foot
lifted in the act of taking step.
He had seen Mr.. and Mrs. Quack.
Now you know there is nothing
Reddy Fox likes better for dinner
than a duck. The instant he saw
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack. gleam Of
longing crept into his eyes and his
mouth began to water.
Reddy stood motlonless until both
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack had their heads
under water as they searched for
food in the mud in the bottom of
the pond. Then, like red flash,
he bounded out of sight behind the
dam of Paddy, the Beaver. Present
ly the hunter saw Reddys black
nose at the end Of the dam as Red
dy peeped around 1t to watch Mr..
and Mrs Quack. The latter were
slowly moving along In, that direc-
ton as they fed. Reddy was quick
to see this. If he remained right
where he was and Mr.. and Mrs
Quack kept on feeding In that d.
rection, the chances were that he
would have a dinner Of fat duck.
All he need do was to be patient
and wait. So. with his eyes fixed
fast on Mr.. and Mrs. Quack. Reddy
Fox crouchei behind Paddy's dam
and waited.
Watching Reddy and the ducks,
the hunter almost forgot Lightfoot,
the Deer. Mr.. and Mrs. Quack were
getting very near to where Reddy
: was waiting forSthen. The hunter
was tempted to get up and frighten
those ducks. He didn't want Reddy
Fox to have them because he hoped
some day to get them himself.
81 suppose" thought he, Il was
foolish not to shoot them when
had the chance. They are too far
away now and 1t looks very much
as IL that red rascal will get one of
them. believe I'll spoil that red
scamp's plans by frightening them
away. don't believe that deer will
be back here today, anyway, so I
may as well save those ducks"
But the hunter did nothing of the
kind. You see. just as he was get

ing place. Sammy Jay arrived. He

with tailored precision about the

same time that it provide" flared

Speaking of the new materials
adapting themselves so readily to
the pleated mode, the new silk lame
weaves, many of which are sheer
and tissue-like in texture, enter into
the scheme Of things with infinite
grace. If you are wanting lovely

Shirrings and pleats go tifty-fifty in
the instance of this ultra chic and
adorable evening dress made of sill
yer silk lame. The shirred top is
held by narrow double straps, and
the decolletage is outlined by
tiny band of pleats. The pleated
theme continues in the skirt, held

the silk lame. The onl, trimming

Among the pleated triumphs In
evening fashions are the perfectly
charming airy-fairy floating visions
of silk chiffon, most lovely, perhaps,
in white but which set your heart
throbbing at faster pace In any Of
the new jewel colorS or pastel
shades. Sometimes only the skirt is
pleated, but when 1t is, it's done so
artfully 1t fiutters out like a fleet

DLEATS, pleats and nothing but
pleats, is the message of many OF
the smartest fashions this season.
Turn where one will in the realm of
costume design, there's an orgy of
intriguing pleated effects carrying
on" SO let's keep up with the
mode while we talk about pleats,
pleated and being pleated.
French designers, especially, are
not leaving anything implicated that
could, should and must be pleated
according to their idea of things.
Their pleated mood pertains to day
time fashions as well as those of
highest evening formality. The all
over pleated gown rejecting Grecian
inspiration is highlight in evening
modes. Evening capes to 90 with
these lovely creations are also COM
pletely pleated in waistline or long
er lengths. In daytime fashions the
all-over pleated dress has also been
received with acclaim.
However, all-over pleating Is only
one phase of the subject, for the
use of pleats Is embracing every
sort from the tiniest of sprightly
pleated edgings which run hither
and thither about hemlines and up
and down, fanking each side of
neat buttOned closings which some
times extend from head to foot.
Some designers there are who make
feature of pleated tiers and apron
fronts and pleated sleeves.
The new fabrics are entering into
the pleated conspiracy with a noble
gesture. Most of them seem made
just to be pleated-fairly invite one
to pleat them. Take the all-silk
black crepe which is SO ultra smart
for daytime dresses. 1t pleats to
perfection. A statement that does
not need a second telling after one

and then peered down at Reddy

eyes. There is nothing Sammy Jay

HE COMES TO
CHURCH
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

At LAST he came to church to-
"A day;
Six nefghbors carried him that
way;
But, when he passed the portals
straight,
Another had to swing the gate,
Another open wide the door,
For he could open it no more.
But now at last he came in search
Of something that they have in
church.
The preacher spoke helpful word,
And yet wonder if he heard,
Or, if he heard, he understood?
His hearing now was not so good.
He was made welcome, for all men
Are always welcome, even then;
And yet he would have been, i
know,
AS welcome years and years ago.
We all must go to church some day,
But some of us too long delay.
The words Of comfort by our bier
We could have come in life to hear,
For here to greet us waits Friend
At the beginning, not the end.
Religion Is for living-aye,
To live by, not alone to die.

ton, and Mrs. Hunt were aboard the
North Seat Tuesday southbound
from the Southeastern Alaska tour.
At Wrangell they were guests of
DIR. and Mrs C. L. Fenton, Mrs.

on a fishing trip to Mill Lake. The

also guests. DR.. Fenton proved an
admirable host. He saw to it that
the party was not bothered with
mosquitoes while fishing in Mill
Lake creek, that abundant catches of
cutthroat trout were made, and
that a large black bear should be
spied on the beach near the Stand
ard Oil station as the party was
sRxeute to Milt Lake.
