Now, under the circumstances, ‘wouldn’t you suppose that Whitefoot would have hoped that Terror woull catch Chatterer? It was Chatterer who had taken possession of White. foot's home. It was Chatterer who AT LAST HE WAS CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCE AND DARTED IN. hed been calling Whitefoot all sorts of bad names. It was Chatterer from whom Whitefoot had had to hide all those pine seeds. But when Terror the Goshawk appeared, and for a minute it looked as if he might catch Chatterer, a great fear took possession of Whitefoot—a fear that Terror would catch Chatterer. You'll find it i that way in the Great World. Peo. le will quarrel between themselves, Put when a common enemy appears they become united. So, when finally Chatterer whisked out of sight in the hollow stump and Terror the Goshawk flew away o search for a breakfast elsewhere Whitefoot sighed with ro lief. Yes, sir, he did so—he sighed with relief. “I¢ 1 know anything about it at all," sald Whitefoot to himeelf, “Chatterer is going to keep away from here Yes, sir, Chatterer is going to keep |almost as supple as georgette.

A gown of thic sort stands out in striking contrast to the glit tering gowns of lame or georgette and net frocks weighted dow1 with in- ricate designs of beals and sequins. en the shoemakers appreciate the smartness of moire and they find a decided demand among smart women for simple evening s'ippers made of mofre to match the frock with which they are worn. Slippers of this sort untrimmed or trimmed only with a very small rhinestone ornament are coming to the fore in Paris, where smart women a becoming weary of glittering slippers of gold and silver brocade. (Copyright, 10270 My Neighbor Says: When preparing prunes you may save time and gas by cook- ing two or three pounds at once and putting them away in pint jars until you wish to use them. Flannels and blankets will keep soft and white and will not shrink if washed with a table- spoon of ammonia in the first water. A hot cloth around the mold will help bring jelly or ices from it without sticking. Always keep a, small flashlight to look into dark wlaces like medicine chest etc. Saves many mistakes, also worry and labor. Instead of using twine or any kind of string for hanging up brooms, mops, brushes and all kinds of kitchen utensils, use ordinary picture wire. It wears inGefinitely and, being stiff, will catch on hooks more easily than string. To keep the coffee pot sweet and clean put a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda into it, fill it nearly full of water and let it boil for a little while. Then rinse very thoroughly with sev- eral lots of warm water. This should be done once a week. "BY THORNTON W. BURGESS away from here. He'll be afraid that Terror the Goshawk will come back looking for him. So I guess Terror has done me a good turn. I have an idea that I shall not be bothered by Chatterer, once he is away from here.” 80 Whitefoot possessed himself with patience and kept watch. It required a lot of patience, but nothing fs worth having that isn't worth waiting for. So when at last he saw Chatterer poke his head out and look hastily but carefully In all directions, and then scamper off just as fast as his legs could take him, Whitefoot promptly hurried over and into that big stump. “Now,” said he, “I will live in peace for a while anyway.” But first Whitefoot had to make his bed over. Chatterer had torn that bed all to pieces. “My, my,” said ‘Whitefoot, “what a temper that fel- low has! My, my, my, my! It's a dreadful thing to have a temper like that.” You know, Whitefoot himself has no temper at all to amount to anything. It all came out just as Whitefoot had thought it would. Chatterer. the Red Squirrel did not come back. There were other things to take his attention. Besides, he didn't want to be where there was any chance of Terror the Goshawk coming. Whitefoot himself kept watch and, though he saw Terror several times, Terror did not see him. No one else of whom Whitefoot was afraid came that way. So he lived in peace, with plenty of food in his storehouse down in the hollow root of the old stump and nothing much to worry about. The result was that Whitefoot began to grow fat. The surest way of get- ting fut is to have a peaceful mind. If_you want to grow thin, worry. Meanwhile, Chatterer had forgotten all about Whitefoot. He had other things to think about. In the first place, one of his storehouses had been | discovered by some one and broken into. It wasn't that he needed those nuts. le didn’t. He had plenty of nuts and acorns and seeds stored away to last him all Winter. But those nuts were his and he didn't like the idea that any one else should have them. So he started out to fAind out who had robbed his storehouse. He was sure that it was either his cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Saquirrel, oF Rusty the Fox Squirrel. So he was spending every spare minute wateh- ing these two. It wasn't a nice cousinly feeling at all that Chatterer had. (Copyright. 1927.) .

CoLlecTorR CALLS FoR Tha FIRST INSTALLMENT On THE FURNITURE SUB ROSA BY MIMI Wisdom. Helen was wise in the wi She’d had dozens of boy friends, and being, a clever girl, she'd doped out a lot of things about them. She knew all about their various little tricks—their pet vanities. She could often fathom thelr motives for doing things, where a less cagy girl would have wondered. Yes, she was wise to men, but she wasn't wise enough to keep qulet about her knowledge. She let the boys know definitely ust how well she understood them— and in doing that she made them afraid of her, scarced them off with her calm, superior knowledge of the inner workings of their minds. John met Helen at a dinner party and fell for her. But he was a shy sort of kid and dreaded having his secret_found out. So he made elaborate excuses the next day about why he did not want to play golf—and his unsuspecting host and hostess went, leaving him alone with Helen. When they had gone the fair lady looked @t her Kknight errant and laughed' softly. “You fraud,” she giggled. “Don't you think I know why you didn’t went to play golf?” It made John uncomfortable—real- izing that this girl was fully aware of the hit she’d made with him. He didn’t mind her knowing, so much, but somehow he resented her talk ing about it so openly. It sort of spoiled t 5. She would have been wiser to keep quiet about it. Sounds eilly, doesn’t it? But just that bit of wisdom on Helen's part rather queered the budding romance which started out so beautifully. Then there was Lester, who loved Helen, and who, realizing that her birthday was approaching, began to hesitate and fumble and ask questions, Did she like evening bags? Or were ostrich fans more in her line? Helen admitted that she adored evening bags —and fans. Thereafter Lester was increasingly mysterious—especially when they passed a shop displaying evening bags. A few days before her birthday he told Helen that he was sorry, but he hadn't been able to think of a thing to get her—would she mind just a few candies and flowers? Helen said she wouldn’t mind. And then on the birthday evening the heavy suitor strode in bearing a gor- geous rhinestone evening bag and a scarlet feather fan that fairly shrieked of money. He simply beamed. with pleasure. 17 Helen had had a grain of real wis- dom she would have registered utter amazement. But she was intent on displaying her canny knowledge of the stronger sex, so she laughed tolerant- Iy and remarked playfully: “You dear, silly thing! Don't you suppose I knew perfectly well you were going to give me these things? 1 could read your mind just like a book!” You can see how this remark took away half of Lester's pleasure. You can see how the type of girl who's overanxious to show how wise she is will take away half of the joy of lov- ing her. HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. A wall light fixture, carefully chosen to express the exact spirit of & room, will often do a great deal toward bringing the architectual treatment into complete harmony with the in- tended furnishing scheme. The shops now offer a fascinating variety of lighting fixtures for Ameri- can homes of different types. A is a crystal sconce for the very elegant and dainty Colonial room. It suggests satin damask draperfes and fine old mahogany furniture, and would be particularly pleasing against colorful wallpaper. B, the small brass wall light fixture surmounted by the brass eagle, might be chosen for the simple and severe early American room. C, a spiderback candle sconce of pewter, is for the Colonial room fur- nished with simple pme or maple. D, of antlque brass, would be at home in the comfortable early Amerl- can room which is neither too stately nor too humble, st st Sweet Potato Dressing.

Mark Burton returns from abroad because _of a letter received from Maude Maynard, the aunt of his ward, Jessica Bartlett. Jessica fs about to inherit the principal of her father's estate, and Maude is afraid that a for- tune-hunter named Raymond Town- ley is preying on her affections. Al- though he is interested in another woman, Mark drops his own affairs to attend to Jessica’s. He makes in- quiries and discovers that Townley is a thorough cad. But Jessica is self- willed. She announces her engage- ment and seems determined to marry him. Mark tries to reason with her and they quarrel. It is then that Aunt Maude steps to the fore and suggests that he carry Jessica off. At first he ridicules the idea, and thenm, much against his own personal wishes, he decides to accept it. He makes an attempt to win back her confidence by telling her of his own love affair, and is successful. Meanwhile he makes plans to take her to his hunting shack in the Shawangunk Mountains. An older woman is to play chaperon and act as housckeeper. CHAPTER XXIIL In the Mountains. ARK planned to start early, be- fore Jessica was up. He loaded the things Mrs. Morse had purchased for her into the back of the small sedan and he picked up Mrs. Morse herself at the railroad station. ‘With good luck, he figured, they would be in New Paltz about 1 o'clock. It was not a long run, But from New Platz on they would have to follow & moun- tain road. As he thought—of it the blood began to sing in hig vins. He was excited at going' Back. He had always loved his place in the mountains. And the Shawangunk range had a strange fascination for him. There was nothing green or verdant about them. They stretched out stark and primitive and silent and mysterious. He was glad to be going back. Mrs. Morse was not a ' talkative woman, which made it easy for him to make time. They reached New Paltz before 1 and stopped before the one small hardware store that the vil- lage possessed. With perfect equanimity Mrs. Morse accepted the bills Mark handed her and vanished into the store. Within a very short time she emerged, fol- lowed by two clerks bearing kitchen ware, mops, a large pail and a broom. These were piled into the back of the car. They drove to the Rrocery store next and purchased a supply of canned things, flour, coffee and a side of bacon. Then with that excitement stlll tin- gling in his veins, Mark drove out of the village and into the mountains. The shack was apparently just as he had left it. It was bullt of logs and was et within a radius of four tall pine trees, There was 2 mountain | stream not far from the house, and while Mrs. Morse went inside to in- vestigate, he strolled down to the water. He could see fish darting about in the crystal depths of the fcy water and he longed to have a rod in his hands. Perhaps this experiment wouldn’t be so bad after all. Strange that his travels had made him forget how much he loved this kind of thing. . After a time he returned to the house and found that Mrs. Morse had already taken charge. Inside the cabin there was one large room, with three small bedrooms at the back. The kitchen was a lean-to affalr, an Mrs. Morse was busy there cleaning out old debris. She looked up and “Codfish Gems’ made by Mrs. Reed 1 Can Ready+to-Fry Cod Fish Cakes 1 Egg per person. ecan and shape the con- ents into cakes.

I'll have the rooms spick and span in a day or 80.” “You're sure you won't be afraid to stay here for a few days. I'll be back just as soon as I can.” She shook her head, still smiling. “Afraid in the country like this? And what harm could come to me, anyway, Mr. Burton? I don’t believe there's a soul within miles of this place. No, I'll go to bed with a clear conscience and sleep safer than any one ever does in the city.” Mark started for home about 4 o'clock. He* hated to leave. The shadows were beginning to fall and there was a tang in the air that made him long to be sleeping, with the smell of the pines filling his nostrils. Mrs. Morse bade him a cheery good-by. She had already brought a certain order to the place. The kitchen was clean and fresh and the supplies were piled in place. She had cleaned the ofl stove, and, mar- velous to say, had succeeded in mak- ing the wicks burn brightly, a feat that Mark in the old days had never accomplished. She was really a wonder. As he drove down the steep moun- tain road, with its treacherous curves and drops, he was happy as he hadn't been in a long time. He wondered what Jesica would think of the place. Would she enjoy it at all? Of course she would be furiously angry at first. She would probably storm and rage at him, and he would have to keep an eye on her to see that she didn't escape. But perhaps when she got used to it she would love it as he did. Well, he was in for it, anyway. He was going to try Maude's experiment. (Copyright. 1027.) (Continued In tomorrow’s Star.) e s Cake.
