SOTTLED PICKLY NNEL Sudden Fashion Changes Unlikely MARY MARSHALL. 1 S | | 1 life? PICKLES THE BY ROBERT QUILLEN. Italian culture had such wide influ- ence. At the time of the French revo- lution there were fashion changes that took place almost over night. Therp was no transitional period in the styles followed by Marie An- tolnette and those we assoclate with the. women of the revolutionary period. For a century or more now our fashions have changed _gradually. This does not mean that the change will continue to be as gradual. It may De that Europeans will feel a sudden reaction against the pleasure-made rogram that has been in progress. taly already seems to have ex- perienced a temperamental conver- sion. Mussolint could not have met with success in his program of re. forming Italian women's clothes if this reaction had not already begun. The Italian women themselves were apparently rather tired of wearing “immodest” clothes. Paris, they say, is not taking Mus- solinf's dress reform ‘very seriously.

All was quiet in the motor boat which had brought Danny Meadow Mouse so far up the Big River. Danny was nowhe only one aboard. He had suspected this for gome time, but he hadn't' been sure. He had remained hidden fn a little cupboard under one of the seats, and had been very comfortable there because he ‘had a soft bed of cotton waste. He had even become so used to the put- ting of the motor t that he didn’t e had even gone of the motor. Thel there had been a great deal of tramp- ing about by the people in the motor boat, a-lot of talking and splashing and other noises which had sent little chills of fright playing tag all over Danny. But- after what had seemed to Danny a very long time all these He could hear the , sound of volces growing fainter and | fainter, and finally he couldn’t even | hear these. When at last Danny did venture to | peep out, all was still and the stars were beginning to come out. It didn't take Danny lonk to discover that he was all alone on that hoat. He examined it from one end to the other. He found some crumbs, which holped to stay his appetite, and then he began to think about continuing on his journey. But to do this he must’ set ashore. Danny climbed up on the edge of that boat and went all around it. | Nowhere was it near enough to shore for him to jump. One end, the bow, cemed to be fastened by a rope to something floating out in the river. From the other end, the stern, theie was & rope to the shore. Danny sat down on the storn and studied things. “It laoks to me,” sald he, “as if 1 rball have to swim if 1 went to get ashore. But I don't want to swim. Th#t water is moving too fast. I'm afraid it would carry me away before I could get to shore, The current was swift right there. It wae swift, and it made out toward the middle of the river, rather than toward the shore, so Danny was quite excusable. You could hardly blame him for not wanting to plunge into the water. For a long time! Danny and studied and studied. Yes, sir. said he, “T gu T'll have to make up STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C BEDTIME STORIE sat there | : OCTOBER " 15, FRIDAY. 1926.
