The afternoon gown pictured is of heavy black crepe, profusely orna- mented with accordion pleats. The bodice is fitted smoothly to the figure and has a rounded neck, bordered with a pleated collar —and saort sleeves cuffed in long pleated points. The skirt is veiled by six panels of accordion pleats, each one slanting iinto a point which touches the in- step, and is girdled with a braided ! strand of crepe. Fine ropes of chenille fringe are looped at the cen- ter front just below the girdle and their ends form long, dangling tassels at the sides.

But Sammy Jay was beyond his reach and only chuckled at the | sight of Reddy's anger. It was use- less to threaten Sammy, and Reddy knew it. so promptly turned his attention to those Ducks. If he was to get one of them he must act quick- 1y now, for some one would be sure to hear Sammy Jay. So Reddy leaped to his feet and moved swiftly toward the little pen — in which were the eleven nearly AFTERNOON GOWN OF BLACK |grown voung Ducks.

The ends are caught around the waist and knotted loosely at the front if the wearer wishes a blouse outline, but if she desires a plain cape for variety the ends may be allowed to train from the openings or the ribbon may be slipped out alto- gether for a time. Narrow blue stk | fringe edging adds an attractive trimming to the wrap and is applied in triple rows around the collar and diagon, across the lower portions of the cape to meet the hem, which is also fringe bordered.

Reddy was just ready to jump over the low wire fence around those Ducks when he heard a door slami in Farmer Brown's house. For just a second he hesitated. Then, as once more he prepared to jump, around the corner of the house came Mrs. Brown, and in her hands was a broo 1f he was quick enough there wai still time for Reddy to get one.of those Ducks and ‘et away with fit.

WOW, WwWow!” roared Bowser the Hound. This was too much for Reddy. He turned and ran as fast as he could make his legs go. Sammy continued to scream. The Ducks continued to quack. Mrs. Brown shouted again, and Bowser the Hound, with his nose to the ground, sent his great voice roll- ing far across the Green Meadows as he started after Reddy. SBuch a racket as they all made! It seemed to Reddy Fo’x that he never had heard such a noise. As for Sammy Jay, he had found the excitement he had been looking for and was perfectly happy. He hadn't enjoyed anything so much for a long time. He fairly danced with excite. ment as he continued to scream at the top of his voice. It was great fun 12r Sammy. Yes, sir, it was great fun for Sammy. He enjoyed it all the more because he had upset the pl Reddy Fox. There is nothing he tak greater delight in than in getting Re; Fox into trouble. As for Red- 4y, he wished with all his might that he hadn't listened to temptation. It was a hot day and he didn’t feel like running. But he would have to run, and keep on running, for with such fresh trail to follow, Bowser th Hound would not be easy to get rid o (Copyright. 1t W. B HIEF!

John Munro Lind- say, dashed around the cor- ner of the Blaisdell's terrace at half-past tea time. Her well- cut gingham frock was a bit rump- led, her bronze curls wers tumbled, and she slumped limply into a ham- mock to fan herself with her broad- brimmed hat. She shook her head vehemently when her hostess signalled to a re- treating servant to bring back the tea things. ‘““Sorry; don't bother, Na Can't stay very long anyhow. Knew the party would be over before I could get here. Shouldn't have come any- how. I had to dra e bables to the beach so's to leave the coast of the porch clear for Rose. .

Merriam stopped her confidences just long enough to nod a thank vou and give the servant time to withdraw. She quaffed long and fer- vently. “Foolish conundrum number eighty-nine” she ejaculated. “When is & home not a home? Answer— when you have to ‘turn it over to a shy girl with a slow-courting lover.

You see, I taught John to and I think it was the first time the old dear ever had a girl in his arms, and he inadvertently fell in love with me so hard that it was jerked out of him that he loved . and with one thing happening right after another we just sort of got married in a hurry—but I do realize that I did help him out a lot.” She grinned shamelessly. “I think a woman ought to, don’t you, Nan? And didn’t you, Nan?’ Nan pursed her lips, but her gray eyes were twinkling under her glori- ous gray hair. “It's rather far back to remember.” she answered cautiously. “Oh_ rubbish!"

The fight for the right of women to study in the medical faculty of this university started twenty-five years ago. In this connection it is inter- esting to note that while there are more_than 2,000 woman physicians in the United States, practically no state hospitals have granted admission to women as in nd only the least s have been given women in these state institutions. There are, however, many other po- sitions where competent medical knowledge is much needed and there is not the traditional barrier to be overcome.

T I8 very interesting to note that most of the girls who act as directors on_the school play- grounds of the District are college or normal school students, who do { this work either to gain additional valuable experience in dealing with chil- dren or to earn funds which will enable them to continue their school careers. This year there are girls from the Sargent School for Physical Training and Columbla University, as well as George Washington students doing this work. Similarly, all the bovs acting as life-guards are college boys. Last year 100 girls took the play- ground training course and many were disappointed in seeking posi- tions, because of the fact that there are only twenty-five school grounds and twenty-three municipal play- grounds in the District. However, many of those who have taken these training courses ‘have secured posi- tions paying splendid salaries where they can do this work in other ecities. BORN AT CHATEAU-THIERRY.
