BEDTIME STORIE Strangers in 01d Orchard. To strancers be polite: I pray, ere’s naught to_to lose and it may pay. - ~—Danny Meadow Mouse. , . Danny Meadow Mouse, poking his head out of a little round Kgle in the snow in the Old Orchavdr #ucdenly drew back. In a tree right over his head were two birds. Even in that hasty glimpse Danny had seen that they were strangers. It is always well to be suspiclous of strangers. To be sure, they were not b'y like members ot the Hawk family, bul Danny long ago learned that there are others to walch out for besides Hawks and Owls. He knew that Sammy Jay had more fl once enjoyed a dinner of Mouse. then there was Butcher the Shrike. He Was no bigger than Sammy Jay, yet he ¥Rs an enemy always to be watched fof, So Danny ducked down out of Plfmly. he very carefully peeped out. ‘The two strangers were still there.

Nuthing. ol g Too Many Hands | Oripes is & man of sterling worth, he's injured no one on this earth, he has a gentle mind; as through the weary world he wends he'd have all people for his friends, his heart is good and kind. He loves the whole blamed hu- man race and shows that feeling in his face, he loves men everywhere; and yet Go&hc his nature sweet men dodge him in the mart and street and on the public square. He is not asked to come along to haunts of gayety and song, to hear the flutes and pipes; if there’s a party in the town, among the delegates turned down is always Mr. Cripes. But for one weakness he would find a welcome from all humankind, for he has worth and charm; when facing you this good man stands, he’s always busy with his hands, he paws your breast or arm. Convers- ing with ‘another toff, he cannot keep his fingers off, he prods you in the waist; he picks a feather from your coat, cr strokes the necktie at your throat, so you depart in haste. If he comes up behind your back, he will bestow a friendly whack athwart your collarbone, or he will Illr you on the hat and knock that y organ flat, and bring from you groan. If he ‘would stand three feet away, we'd talk with him for half a day and think it quiet & treat, but we avold this man be- cause he does the talking with his pat which are as bad as feet. And thus a man of splendid gifts h this sad world an outcast drifts, nsolate, alone; no welcome anywhere awal he must think his fellow skates ve hearts of brass or stone. WALT MASON. .

These two strangers were just about the size of Rosebreast, too. “T'm not afraid of them,” said Danny to himself, and climbed right out on the snow where he could sit up and see them better. _Qmp_was rather handsome. He flew down on the snow only a little way from Danny. His body was quite largely yellow. His tail was black and it was forked. There was & big bar of white in each wing. The top of his head was black. His forehead and a streak over the eye were yellow. The sides of his head and neck were a sort of greenish- brown. Danny looked up at the other stranger, which he knew without being told was the mate of the one on the ground. “It is funny,” thought Danny, “how differently the birds of the same kind dress. Now Nanny and I dress alike. Yes, sir, Nanny Meadow Mouse and 1 But just look at this cou- So far as the way they are dressed goes, one would never know that they were related.” This was quite true.. The stranger up in the tree was dressed almost alto- gether in black and white. Wings and tail were black and white. The body was brownish gray with just a little yellowish color around the base of the neck and shoulders. There was a little tinge of yellow on the under parts. The head was all brownish gray. “Good morning!” squeaked Danny. The smnfir on the snow looked up. “Good morning,” said he. “I hope you are feeling fine,” sald Danny, politely. “Very fine,” replied the stranger. “I couldn’t feel finer. This seems to be a very nice ?llm here.” “It is,” replied Danny. take it you have never here before.” “No,” replied the stranger, “I have never been here before. What do you call this place?” “This,” replied Danny, “is the Old Orchard. Have you come far?” The stranger chuckled. He looked up at his mate in the tree. “He wants to know if we have come far,” said he. ‘The stranger in the tree looked down at Danny, and her eyes twinkled. suppose,” said she, “that some folks would. say that we have come quite a ., sir; some folks would Personally, 1 think we have come quite :r“e?gmh.

(Copyright, 1929.) Women Wixo Toil To Get Sunburn Pure white—or off white—which shail it be? There is really no question about the fashionable skin tint. Sunburned tones will be as popular on bare arms, necks, faces, shoulders and backs as ever. If you have one of those lily-white skins that just won't take on mellow tonss no matter how much you bask in the sun—and are prejudiced against any of the cosmetic preparations used to im- par the sunburned hue—then you will have to submit to being out of fashion, taking what satisfaction you can from the fact that in any age but the present your skin would have been the despair of those less fair, that poets would have sung your pi and wandering mu- sicians would have strummed their Ruitars in honor of ladies white skinned like yourself. That at least is settled—sunburned skin in various hues is to be as smart as ever and one of the first things that fashionable women do when they reach the Southern Winter resorts is to bask in the sun to counteract the bleaching proccss which may have taken place during their sojourn in more Northern climes. But with the sunburned skin—will you wear white or off white? Some women feel that pure white is not such cholce for the girl with tanned —and yet becauss pure white brings out the darkness of the skin tone per- haps it will be more popular than ever. Off-white tones—notably egg shell— vater blue and a light cream e often more becoming to the girl with sunburned arms and shoulders even though they may make her skin seem a tone or two lighter than it would in pure white, d [GooPy 1 THINK WERE GONG TO BE VERy HARY LIVING IN THIS LOveLy oD House!
