Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Reddy Fox watched Blacky the
Grow grow smaller and smaller util
he was just black speck in the
distance. Finally he disappeared.
Reddy looked very thoughtful. He
looked that way because he was
thoughtful. In fact, Reddy was do
ing lot of hard thinking. He was
thinging about. those chickens
Blacky had told him of. The more
he thought of them. the hungrier he
grew. You see Reddy had been hav-
ing rather hard time to get enough
to eat.
yes sir" said Reddy to himself,
Il would go long, long distance to
get good plump hen I wish I
knew Just where that farm is that
that black rascal talked about. I
wonder if he has gone that way now
If were sure that he had I would
make a little journey in that direc-
ton. But I'm not sure. That black
rascal flies all over the country.
That farm may lie in the direction
he has gone now and it may be in
quite the opposite direction. Some
how I've got to find out in just
which direction it is )"
Reddy yawned, for he had been out
all night and he was sleepy. He de-
c1ded that the best thing he could
do would be to get a good rest. One
must always he fit if one is to get on
In this life. The harder one must
work the more fit one should keep.
and proper amount of Sleep Is one
OF the most necessary things in keep
ing fit. So Reddv curled up to sleep.
Hardly had his eyes closed when
he began to dream You see he had
been thinking so hard about those
fat hens he was so hungry for one
of them that right away he began to
dream Of fat hens. It was beauti-
full dream. At least it was beau
tiful dream to Reddv. Fat hens
were all about him They were so
fat that they could hardly walk
Not only were they fat but they
SeeHeO 10 lhlnk that their one
object in life was to fill the StomachS
OF hungry foxes, for they Just stood
about waiting to be caught
Never in all his life had Reddv
Fox known ANYTHING so wonderful
as was that dream. There were no
dogs to worry him. There were no
hunters with dreadful guns. All he
had to do was TO reach out and help
himself to as many fat hens as he
wanted. He ate and ate and ate,
all in his dream YOU know, and
when he could eat no more. he
started for home. When he started
for home the fat hens that were
left started along with him. He led
a procession of fat hens straight
over to his home in the Old Pasture.
Just imagine how Reddy felt when
at last he awoke and there was not
so much as a feather from a fat hen
anywhere about. while his stomach
fairly ached with emptiness.

Don't Take NY
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Beware of -Four Eyes

Four EYES to be avoided in
standard American speech are:
"Ant-eye. dem-eye, mult-eye" ana
"Sem-eye," for ANTI, DEMI-,
MULTI and SEMI. No author
ity gives the long ~ teye) sound
to these important prefixes.
Most dictionaries show the az
in anti, demi-, multi and semi
as having the short sound as in it,
bit, hit. But, they admit, there is
a tendency to give the "i" the long
"e' sound as in machine, marine
I have found that the long "e''
sound is greatly prevalent the
country over, and that the pure
short 81 sound is seldom heard.
And, to most ears, the long "e"
sound is by far the more pleasing
At any rate, if we have any regard
for the correctness of our speech.
we will avoid the -four eyes" in
these prefXes.
Correct pronunciation:
AN-tee Cor AN-tD
DEM-ee Tor DEM-D
MUL-tee (or Multi
SEM-ee COR SEMI
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)
From Tampa: Which is the cor
rect way to pronounce DIRECT?-
S. @.
Answer-Not "DYE-rekt" Use
the short 81" of did in the first
syllable and eccent the second in
direct, direction and director, as:
dir-EKT, dir-EK- -shun, dir-EK- ter.

Exaggerated CosvoIness

WHEN Marise appeared before the
beauty counsellor for analysis. she
suffered handicap common to many
girls leaving the campus for the office
- an exaggerated casualness in per-
sonal get-up. Her hair was carelessly
groomed, her makeup was too bright
and spotty, and her green jersey dress
and tan sports hat and coat were
inappropriate for the office job she
wanted to get. What the clinic did, in
a few days time and on total budget
of thirty dollars, to recast Marise as a
trim, chic secretary offers lessons in
both good looks and economy,
The actual groundwork for good
grooming made little dent in Marise's
allowance - actually less than dol
lar for few extra beauty aids - but

sport pumps with built-up heels. Both
were inexpensive but both were copies
of classic accessories. Nothing but the
closest expert inspection would show
whether or not this outfit was in the
500 bracket or the $24 bracket where
it actually was.
To add bright flip of color to her
costume and to focus more interest on
her pretty face, gold-colored woolen
scarf was crisscrossed under her coat.
Ensembled with this we're gold-colored
woolen mittens, the gold-plaid lining
peeping out from the edges of her
black envelope bag, and a costume

to be worn interchangeably on the
lapel of either dress or coat.

properly for her new Office role. You
may have more - or even less - than
she had to invest, and your needs may
differ widely from hers. But the lesson
in economy she learned is fundamental
for everyone: 1t is not so much what
you spend, as how you spend it.
The costume selected for Marise
