REAL Simple Clothes ESTATE. for Little Girls - BY MARY MARSHALL. If the tendency to lengthen women'’s frocks progresses, then we may expect to see some slight lengthening in the skirts of little girls. For children's i, THIS CHILD'S FROCK OF PINK GEORGETTE_ HAS A CREAM T.AC "OLLAR AND PINK ROSE PLACED ON THE HEM OF THE SKIRT. clothes always follow more or less di- on the heels of those worn by as, however, taken some time to establish the very short-skirted fashions for little girls, and until we have accomplished that there is small chance that we shall turn back on our courses in favor of a longer skirt for v, very little girls wear those very short skirts, instead of the ankledength frocks that used to ham- per them so in taking their first un- certain steps. Frocks that hang from the shoul- ders or a shallow yoke and are virtu- ally all skirt, frocks with a really nor- mal waist line, with a skirt that is not much more than a ruffle, and long- waisted frocks with a skirt that is an even narrower ruffle are all included in the wardrobes of well dressed little girls’ clothes—taffetas and silk crepes and figured silks—are all employed for diminutive party frocks. The es- sential thing is that these rather grown-up materials should be used in a simple way with an avoldance of overelaboration. But though little girls’ clothes should be very simple they may be as pictur- esque as you like. The child psycholo- gists now concede that the occasional wearing of fine feathers is of advan- tage to any child—and the little girl who has no really, truly party dress is missing one of the harmless pleasan- tries of childhood. It you want to make a charming evening wrap at small cost, send for my diagram and directions for making the new bordered shawl. The sketch that goes with it shows just how this fashionable wrap should be worn. (Covyright. 1927.) Everyday Law Cases May Will Provide That Estate Cannot Be Attached by Creditors? Although Jack Batson was a reck- less spender, he was the favorite grandson of Harvey Garwood. Garwood desired to make a will leav- ing most of his money to Batson, but he feared that his grandson would dissipate his legacy. He consulted THE ' EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

After Garwood’s death, Batson not only spent his first $5,000 but ac- cumulated considerable debts. His creditors, hearing of the estate, at- tached it for their claims. The trustee of the estate resisted the attachment claiming that the es- tate was not liable for Batson's debts. The court upheld the trustee’s de- fense and dismissed the attachment, stating: “An owner has a right to dispose of his property by will as he may see fit, with such limitations as he may choose to impose. If a testator creates a spendthrift trust from which the beneficiary is given a c-rtain al- lo.-ance, the estate cannot be at- tached by the beneficiary’s creditors.

HERE was a crackling of snow as two figures pushed their way through the underbrush down to the edge of the lake and there paused to brush the still clinging masses of white from their leggings and to fasten their skates firmlv and securely to their heavy homemade boots. Then they shot out across the smooth, frozen surface almost as buoyantly as birds, and almost as naturally, the sharp click, click of their steel runners clear and musical in the crisp, still air. “This is better,” one of them called to his companion, with an inflection of satisfaction in his voice. “Twenty minutes more and we can be at home.” *“Yes, 10 miles this way is easier than 1 plowing through the woods,” rejoined the other cheerily. *But won't father be glad to know that everybody is coming?” Since early morning they had been scouring the surrounding country— up the lake and down, to this trapper and that, back into the interior to various farmers and squatters, to Stebbins, who, kept, the store at the crossroads; to Anson Perry, the fur trader, and even to the half-breed at the foot of the hills—bearing the mes- sage that a meeting would be held at their house on the following Sunday and that Dr. Bates himself of Duluth would be there to speak. And every one of them, not even omitting the half-breed, had promised to come. Side by side the boys sped on, the miles slipping away easily behind. Now and then a point of land rushed up and past, dim and shadowy in the white light of the mooW. and once or twice in the far distance they heard the sinister voice of some night- prowling animal. On and still on, and then through the crisp air came the sharp click of other skates, followed by the glimpse of a dim figure, which rapidly grew plainer as it approached. As it came near one of the boys said “Aunt Roxy” and the other added, “Going home to see her mother,” and then the figure shot past, waving its hand and_ smiling brightly, and they raised their fur caps and flew on, feeling a sudden glow of pleasure at the unexpected meeting. Everybody knew and loved Aunt Roxy, the neighborhood “aunt,” who went from house to house doing sewing or nursing, and who, in spite of her 50-0dd years, could still give the boys amd girls something to do when she went skating with them. Now she was on her way to spend the holidays with her mother at the foot of the lake. Everybody knew she was going and everybody felt glad and everybody wished he could be there “to see the meeting. One, two, five minutes passed, and the came a long, menacing howl which made the boys shiver involun- tarily and bend forward to their work. They knew that voice. Every Winter, when snows grew deep and food scarce, wild animals were accustomed to make predatory incursions from their northern fastenesses, and among them it was not uncommon to hear the howling of wolves. But this was not one wolf of an ordinary pack, but an outcast from its own kind, grown flercer and more cunning through its isolation. All the country round had Jearned to fear him and to hunt him, and to lay traps for him—but so far in vain. The boys’ faces grew tense #s they sped on, and they listened, almost with bated breath, for the swift following of footsteps behind. Ordinarily they would not have run from one wolf, but this was different, elmost as dangerous as an entire | pack. And, besides, they were un-| ermed. But suddenly one of them cried, “Aunt Roxy!” and then both sunk their skate heels deep into the ice and tame to an abrupt stop. A quick Jook into each other’s eyes and then they whirled and sped back over the course they had just come, That long. exultant howl had meant more than mere defiance; it proclaimed the dis- covery of prey. Aunt Roxy had gone in that direction and the wolf had scented her trail. 3 Scarce a minute had passed since the fierce howl of discovery, but only Massachusetts Ave. Park Open, Lighted Every Day 2818 36th Place—hall »q wouth of | Massachusetts Ave., one square east of Wis- consin Ave, DETACHED, CENTER HALL PLAN TEN ROOMS THREE BATHS T T, B heriatripped, awnings. screens,. two-car | Saruge, lot B0 feet front by 127 feet deep.

Side by side, with heads forward and elbows ~close pressed to their sides, their skates clicking sharply and regularly, they flew on, having no further thought of themselves, but only of the woman on her way home to spend the holi- days. She was a woman with little knowledge of wild animals, while they were strong young fellows accustomed to hunting. If any plan of action flashed through their minds it was tq draw the attack of the wolf, and then to lead it away to some other part of the lake. They were accounted the swiftest skaters in all the country around, and on a fair field of ice, with no obstacles, felt that they would stand a fair chance with even the “Lone Wolf,” as he was called. Perhaps they might outdis- tance him and then circle back and escape. Of course, if a skate strap should break or any one of a possible dozen accidents happen—but they would not think of that. Almost as the thoughts flashed through their minds they saw him ahead, his nose in the air and his ears forward. Evidently he had heard the sharp ringing of their skates and was waiting to see what it might portend. As they sped straight at him, swiftly, unswervingly, another wolf would have turned and fled. This one moved toward them slowly, his head up, showing his teeth. But as they rushed on to within 20 yards, 10 yards, 5 yards, implacable, silent, save .for the clicking of their skates, even the Lone Wolf’s front be- gan to waver. What did it mean? He ‘was accustomed to see people turn and fly, or at least hide behind trees or rocks and shoot at him. But these did neither; they were rushing down on him as though perfectly sure of the result—as, of course, they were, other- wise they would not do it. And apparently with this conclusion Lone Wolf's last vestige of bravado gave way, for he turned and fled in- continently down the lake. The boys gave one ringing shout ‘and followed. But as they flew on they wondered how the thing would end. It was more inspiring to chase than be chased; but they knew enough of wolf nature to feel assured that the moment they stopped the wolf would stop also, and the moment they turned back he would follow. And as the animal seemed to have no trouble in keeping ahead of them now, they wondered a little un- easily how it would be in case they were the pursued. However, there was small danger of that so long as they passed him closely. He was running now with nose to the ice and ears flat, the very embodiment of frantic haste and fear. A mile was passed in this way—two; nd then Lone Wolf swerved in to- rd a long, narrow cove, beyond which lay the denser forest and his stronghold. 7 On and still on, and now the boys WHY 19 Sold BECAUSE—, They are the Greatest Values Best Designed Lowest Priced // ; = o «fi%ru\m" I AN €S '.z««guu&"".'g;;_,g |” b THE EXCURSIOM and pr .

By this time Aunt Roxy was too far away to be in danger; besides, if the animal had not already forgotten her scent, it would take time to recover it. Once or twice they slackened their speed, slightly thinking to let him increase the di: tance up the lake. But the second their speed decreased his décreased also, and they could see him turn back his head inquiringly. Then they sped forward again, more impetuously than ever.

It rushed toward them rapidly, like the headlight of a locomotive, but the wolf, with his head turned back, fearful and yet Suspicious of his pursuers, did not see it until too late to turn aside. As he reached the circle of light and swerved sharply at right angles to his course, there came a flash and report, and with one con- vulsive bound he rose into the air and then fell back upon the ice motionless. A moment later the boys came to a stop beside him. *Too late, pardners, the camp fire called gruffly pelt now. I shot him.” came forward: “Hello.” Ed and Alf Green! You here? What, you doing hunting a critter like Lone Wolf in the night? Where's your guns?” ‘“‘Haven’t agy,” Ed answered, color- ing a little; “and for that matter, not even a jackknife.” Then he told of their meeting with Aunt Roxy and the subsequent chasing of the wolf. The man listened increduously at first, then derisively, then with something else coming into his deep-set eyes, “It's the craziest, most idiotic, fool- ishest——" He stopped suddenly and placed a hand upon each of the boys’ shoulders, “bravest thing I've come across.
