The Worst Happens. Disaster comes when least cxpected And danger lurks where not suspecied —Mre. Grouse. While Thunderer the Grouse Mrs. Grouse slept comfortably and peacefully under the snow in the Green Forest things of which they inew nothing were happening. It kept on snowing for some time after they had plunged into that snow- and “IT 18 ALL MY PavLY, PERED THUNDERER bank. The falling snow very nearly filled the holes they had made when they plunged into that snowbank. That would have pleased Thunderer had he known it. But after a while the failing snow turned to rain. Of course Thunderer and Mrs. Grouse knew nothing about this. Had they known it they would have been worried. But not knowing ing it they slept peacefully and qujet- 1y. Toward morning the rain stopped. Then Jack Frost came, and he froze that wet snow. He froze it until it had formed a thick. hard crust all through the Green Forest and over the Green Meadows. When jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun began his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky hs looked down on a world of glistening white, Mrs. Grouse was the first to waken in the morning. For awhile she was ‘content to stay where she was. for it was very comfortable there. But pres- ently she began to want her break-| fast. Now, when Thunderer and Mrs. Grouse leave their beds under the snow they burst out suddenly and whirr up into the trees on those stout wings of theirs. They burst out sud- denly so that if by any chance Reddy FOX or any other enemy should hap- pen to be close by they will be taken by surprise. When Mrs. Grouse was ready to go in search of her breakfast she started with that same upward rush as usual. But she didn’t burst out of the snow and send it flying in all directio She came up against something hard that stopped her. Instantly she knew what had happened. Once, long, long before she had been caught under the crust. She beat frantically with her wings. 1t did no good. She struck at that crust with her stout bill, but that was equally useless. . Thunderer had heard her start and he had started at once. The same thing happened to him. By and by they had to give up trving to break WHIS- Work should never . mike me weary If I'm really mewnt te de it, L But it seon becomes exhausting g 1_1‘.3‘ greed thyt drives me to it. | N ! tions that wnmenl has been revived for Southern wear and for Spring Sometimés these frocks are of delicately tinted veils or batiste with the valenciennes lace dyed to match. Sometimes the note of color that seems so imporant at present iy introduced by way of the embroidery. The sketch shows a charming lit- tle frock of white cetton volle trim- med with white valenclennes lace, mbroidered in mauve and pink. The straight line is retained so far as the line of the frock is concerned but considerable actual fullness {# introduced by way of inverted pleata at each side. Almost every woman who spend: part of the Winter in balmier clim: this Winter packs in her trunk some little frocks of this deacription. To some extent they take the place of the silk crepe and georgette frocks of other sessons. 2 Filmy cotten frocks have aiways been dear to the hearts of American women. Tn Cuba and othéi resorts where Americans come :in..contact with a smart native population of Spanish origin, the American’ woman Is_always easy to spot, if fer. na other reason than because she in- variably dons summery froeks and hats. The native of Spanish origin clings to silk and velvet frocks so long &s the weather permits. She ars velvet hats while the Amer- ican woman anticipates Spring in & straw hat on which summer flowers blossom, This year the American woman is even more zummery than ever. (Copyright, 1825.)

Another reason why women nag is because they pin their faith to the moral taught by the parable of the persistent lady and the unjust judge in the Bible.
