There may be nothing very subtle about the appeal of crystal beads and - Fhinestones; if not. then we are meither subtle nor artistic. For we all—the best of us and the | worst of us—follow suit in wearing crystal beads and rhinestones on our evening gowns if we can afford them There is no longer any question whether the b d evening gown will return or inue. It has re- turned ana it continuing and Adoubtless: will continue throughout the winter. Nothing has been de- vised that appeals to smart women 80_strongly ¢ Usually, of course. the heavily beaded gown means a straight scant own.

From the beginning to the end All must the school of life attend “-01d Motlier Nature. ‘There isn't nook or crevice in the old stone wall that Striped Chip- munk does know.

All his life he has known v and Polly Chuck, so he knew Just what kind of a place would | Probably suit the young Chuck, who REDDY FOX WAS JUST TROTTING PAST. wanted to make his home in the old stone wall for a while. The young Chuck was delighted,” fof Striped “hipmunk led him stralght to a hole that had_been dug under the old ytone wall, with an entrance between wo big stones.” It was an entrance just the right size for the young Thuck to pass through easily. He was very : grateful to Striped Chipmunk and_he told him so. i “Don’t mention it.” replied Striped | Chipmunk, his bright eves twinkling. “Don’t mention it. I hope youll en- joy it here. T'll be glad to have al neighbor. Then without another Sord he scampered away. The young Chuck soon made him- self at home. Within just a few feet 5 the bushes along the old stone wall was plenty of grass and tender, sweet clover. There was almost no risk at all in getting all he wanted eat. Truly it was a delightful ce. He no loager thought of go- & back home. He was satisfied right ere he was. S. he spent his time ing and sleeping and growing and ning lessons. He didn’'t know he was learning lessons,. but he: was. One of the first taings he learned was that Bowser { the Hound was quite harmless to him unless he should be careless enough to be surprised too far from the old | stone wall. He learned that Black Pussy the Cat was no longer to be feared by him, but that she was a constant danger to Striped Chipmunk. So whenever he saw her he would give the alarm. He learned to know the feathered folk who lived in the Old Orchard, and to understand their warnings of dan- ger. It didn't tdke him long to find out that thelr eyes were much sharp- er than his, and that when he heard them shrieking in a certain way it was best to get close to the en- trance to his home. Early one morn- ing he heard Sammy Jay shrieking “Thief! Thief! Thief!" Very cau- tiously he poked his head out to see what Sammy was making such a fuss about. He pulled it in again in a hurry. Reddy Fox was just trotting past. After that whenever he heard Sammy Jay calling “thief” in just that way he knew that Reddy Fox or Mrs. Reddy was somewhere near. He made the acquaintance of Chat- terer the Red Squirrel, and soon found out that all Chatterers impudence and boastful threats were harmless and that Chatterer was always one lof the first to give warning when danger was near. He came out very early one morning just at break of day, and was just in time to see Hooty the Owl swoop down for a young Meadow Mouse. So he learmed that it wasn't safe to go out too early in the morning. He learned in the! same way that it wasn't safe to stay out after the first of the Black Shad- ows came creeping out from the Pur-- ple Hills. Every day he learned something and tucked it away in his head where he would never forget it.

Ministers ought to be trained to preach sermons to children. 1 don't believe they have been, or more of jthem would preach better ones to children than they do. The minister ought to preach to the children so that they*learn that he epeaks for the church and speaks { with the voice of authority. The chil- dren cannot get his authority at all because he speaks a tongue they do not understand. It isn't any good to make children fill spaces in pews while the man in the pulpit talks to the most intel- Jectual of his audience. My experi- ence tells me that is what he does. { Being a highly trained intellect him- self he is likely to assume the same of his listehers and soar away. Many of the adults are bored stiff and the children feel as though they {were bombarded with hard words. They feel aggrieved that they are be- !ing held prisoners—tied to: the stake, |as it were—while these missiles are { hurled at their helpless heads. {"Yet_the children should have their { weekly sermon. 1 remember one that a wise old man preached to his chil- {dren.
