ITTLE CTORIES lfificmr: The dulok Wit of Mrs. Grouse -Only’ those ‘are 2 Who at'all thmes ave quich of wit. —Mrs. G Nover had Mrs. Grouse been in & tighter place. Right in the midale of a little open place, with nothing to hide her, she was squatting as flat to the ground as she could get, while only a few fect away stood a hunter Wwith a terrible gun. There were just two things in favor of Mrs. Grouse. One was that she was so near the color of the demd leaves and grass around her that she was difficult to see. The other was that it hadn’t entered that hunter's head that a Grouse would be in an open place like that. . 80 the hunter stood there f{dly looking about. - Once Or twice .he looked straight at Mrs. Grouse. She knew. by the expression of his eyes that he did not see her. On her part Mrs. Grouse kept perfectly still. Was she frightened? Of course, she was frightened. She was terribly fright- ened. She was so frightened that it seemed to her that her heart almost stopped beating. It seemed to her that sooner or later that hunter would be bound to see her. She knew that if he should take it into his head to walk over where she was there would be nothing for it but for her to take to her stout wings, Mrs. Grouse kept her bright eyes fixed on that hunter. Not once did she take them from him. If there should be a chande .for escape she The Shakespeare Soclety will meet |didn't intend to misa 1t.

The hunter she was watching shouted back and turned his head to look down the hill. The very second he turned his head Mrs. Grouse shot into the air. Such a roar as her wings made! She made all the noisc she could with them, hoping to startle that hunter. But that hunter had hunted often to be starled in any such manner. He was surprised, very much surprised, but not startied. The second he heard the roar of those wings he whirled around and brought his terrible gun to his shoulder ready to shoot. jut he didn’t shoot. No. sir, he didn't shoot. You see Mrs. Grouse didn’'t give him a chance. Instead of flying away from him, Mrs. Grouse flew straight toward him. It had taken a second for him to turn around. By the time he had got around Mrs. Grouse was passing over his head and flying like the wind. That meant that he had to turn around again in order to shoct at her. He did turn. Of course. He turned as quickly as he could. and that was very quick Inderd. But by the time he was around Mrs. Grouse was beyond that open place and pitching sharply down behind a tree. He caught only a gillmpse of her. There was no opportunity to shoot. too Mrs. Grouse had saved her life by . her quick wit. Had she flown in any other direction that hunter would have had a chance to shoot. As soon as she had pitched down behind that tree Mre.. Grouse few low, darting in and out among the trees and circling far around in the opposite direction from which had come the voice of that second hunter. When _she finally alighted on the ground she ran swiftly for some lit- tle distance. Then she flew up in a hemiock tree whose branches were very thick. When she did this she made no nolse with her wings. She felt gafe there for the time belng, anyway. “My. that Was a Darrow escapi said she to herself as she looked and listened for those hunters. And so it was. (Copyright, 1022, by T. W. Surgess.) FOUR MORE TEMPLES ON MYSTIC SHRINE ROLL 116 Now Listed for Imperial Council Session to Be Held in Washington'Next June.

J..Meeks, a new member, elcomed into .the- chapter, HE members of the bn-h},n- glirle’ clybs affillated with the Y. W.

Too many igirls, since the great avalanche of women Into the business world dur- ing the paf few years, have ‘shown questionable taste in their manner of dressing for their working hcurs., There has, of course, been a com- plexity of motives causing many girls o dress as though they were going to elaborate teas or evening affairs when .they were going to shops or business offices at 8:30 or 9 o'clock |in the morning. Many lived so far from the center of town that it was tmpossible for them to go home to dress, especiaily for a concert, dance {or the theater. after work. Some be- came rather intoxicated by the pds- sessfon of respectablNarge ralaries awhich they had never earned before, and therefore, dress belng the nat- ural extravagance of the feminine sex, they bought expensive, fancy clothes. They could, of course, have spent just as much money getting simple, well tallored clothes, but many of the women who had these funds were not yet “educated up to” the possibilities of a good suit and dafaty blouses. The shops, of coursé, were largely to blame by not having attractive yet sensible clothes to supply the need of these women. But the whole situation is now revolving itself quite satiss tactorily for all concerned. The girls themselves, in clubs such as the busi- ness girls' clubs and other women's ;nrganl:n!lons. are overcoming this { handicap in the most practical method possible. Thursday night the business girls' clubs had the last of four spe- cial mectings, with talks by a special- ist on women's clothing and textiles and demonstrations of clothing that showed good lines and the proper raa- terlals(for use on all occasions The girls themselves wero the models and the suits and dresses wére furnished through the courtesy of a local de- D.
