WOMAN'’S BEDTIME STORIES A Dreadful Night. ity the trapped: their fate is plain; 1hle R farnd fioxr_‘b'"g- SR Down the Laughing Brook below the Smiling Pool a dreadful thing had hap- ned, A young Muskrat, one of Jerry skrat’s children, heedless and hend- strong, had started to climb out of the water on an old log_that lay partly in the water. There had been a snap, something had grabbed him by one of his fore legs, hurting terribly, and now was holdicg him prisoner. He had stepped into a steel trap. t first he pulled with all his strength, pulled and pulled. It hurt ter- ribly, but how else could he get away? Time and again he plinged from that log into the water, but in vain. It was well for him that the water was very shallow there. The boy who had set that trap was not a good trapper. In fact, he never had set traps before. He #IT MUST BE ONE OF THOSE TRAPS 1 WAS WARNED ABOUT.” SOBBED THE YOUNG MUSKRAT. had set the trap too high on the log. Had he been an old trapper he would | have placed that trap so that when a Muskrat stepped in it and sprung it the iittle animal would at once plunge into deep water and there drown. But this trap was set where the water was not | deep enough for this purpose. All the young Muskrat could do was to flounder and splash about in it and finally crawl back up on the log to which the trap ‘was fastened by a chain. Bobbing under his breath, he gnawed at that clain and gnawed at the trap. He knew not what to make of it when | time. Pau BY THORNTON W. BURGESS he found that his teeth, strong an sharp as they were, made not the slight- est impression. frightened him all the more. Here was somel that try as he might he couldn't fight. The thing wouldn't fight back, but it did hold on. It held on as if it meant never to let go “It must be a_trap. It must be one of thoss traps 1 was warned about,” sobbed the young Muskrat. “I didn't suppose anything could hold on so. I didn't suppore that anything could hurt so. What shall I do? at shall I do? What shall I do?” ‘There being no one there to answer that quesiion. the young Muskrat was no wiser than before. His leg was swollen arcind those cruel jaws where they bit into the flesh. It ached as no hurt he ever had had before had ever ached. But even worse was the terrible fear that gripped him. What was to become of him? Would he have to stay there until he starved to death? What if an enemy should come along and find him held fast there? At this thought he hegan struggling again and kept it up until his strength failed and he_had w rest. 1t was a beautiful night. From high among the twinkling stars Mistress oon was flooding the Green Forest, the Qreen Meadows, the Laughing Brook and the Smiling Pool with soft silvery light It was such a night as Muskrats dearly love. But the young Muskrat held fast to thet log on the bank of the Laughing Brook saw no beauty in it. To him it was a dreadful night. 1t was more dreadful than he had supposed anything could possibly be. Every minute was a minute of suffering. Every minute was a minute of terribie feat. Finally, every minute wae a minute of hopelessness. Yes, sir, it was so. That young Muskrat had reached & stage where he no longer Had any hope. If he couldn’t make that horrible trap let go, he didn't be- lieve any onc else eould. He wished one of his brothers or sis- ters or his father or mother would come along. It wac awful to suffer all alone that way. Whenever he saw a shadow he crouched. fearful that it was Hooty the Owl. Whenever a leaf rustied he was sure that Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote was coming to kill and eat him. Pain and terror were with him all the Oh how he did wish then that he had heeded his father's advice and watched for trape! Had he been look- ing for it he would have seen this trap before ho got into it. That he was caught was his own fault and he knew it. But that didn't help him any that dreadful night.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND, It is really very modern and un- usually attractive, this sofa with the built-in chest of drawers at each end. Wouldn't this be highly appreciated by the dweller of a small apartment, where drawer space for linens, silver, cards and even writing materials is so scarce? Of course, the upper drawers are very small, but there are many uses to which they may be put. For instance, a thim- ble, needles, scissors and a collection of silks or cotton threads, which might come in handy at the last minute when there is just a little stitch to take in time to ward off those nine we hear so much about. A very good covering for a sofa of this type would be moire, when the ex- tra_ pillows, | each end, might be covered with ombre striped taffeta. The pillows could either match or be in contrasting shade. If the moire is green, the pillows might be in shades of mulberry, gold or lilac if the ombre effect in green is not desired.

Children usually get all' the blame when their clothes wear out quickly. Often it is mother’s fault for not taking gnl.ns to prolong the life of clothes or or fallure to teach children how to take these precautions themselves. Two palrs of shoes, worn alternately, wear longer than two pairs of shoes worn in Succession. If children's feet are growing rapidly you may not care to adopt this plan. Teach children t0 slip adjustable shoe trees into their shoes when taking them off and to dry them thoroughly after they are damp or wet. Mud and dust should, of course, be removed as soon as possible. ; Undergarments should be re-enforced in the Whete they receive the hardest wear. Always re-enfcrce bute tons on ready-made garments. Sew buttons on several thicknesses of cotton cloth to prevent them from tearing out. A small button sewed on the back of large coat button keeps it from pulling off. Brush woolen ents frequently, with the nap. ey actually wear longer when kept free from dust and, of course, look much better. Never leetl l‘nmy sofled clothes in an unven« tilated closet, as they are likely to dis- color if this is done. Outside coats and hats are best kept in an airy closet apart from clean clothes or on & clothes tree. If they are put away at all damp they will do harm to the fresh clothes.

The downtown department stores were hives of industry just before Christmas. Young girls, older girls, matrons, even grandmothers, were being instructed in the intricacies of handwork of various kinds. ‘The table at which boxes were being covered was always crowded. The in- structor gave these rules: ‘“‘Choose & paper with an interesting pattern fitted to the size of the box, or with an in- teresting texture. Get paperhanger's paste, which comes dry and is easily mixed.” Line the sides of the box first. Cut | a plece of paper approximately as wide | as you will need—always allow. some- thing extra. You may cut it in one plece long enough to incircle the box or you may cut four pieces, one for each side. After the sides are on cut a piece to fit the bottom and paste that on. Follow _the same rule for outside of box. Smooth all the paper carefully as you put it in place and be sure you ki your hands dry and clean. A little carelessness will spoil an other- wise beautiful pilece of work. If you can find a “make-up box” already painted or enameled and trimmed with a picture which is atrocious purchase it anyway, because you can always re- place or cover the old picture with one more suitable. Give the new pic- ture a coat of colorless shellac when it has thoroughly dried after being pasted on. These make-up boxes have many uses, and are found in many of the shops. Everything about them is satisfactory but the picture, which can be so easily changed. ? inter- et SR Rifcy Ahed cars . inclosing a stamped. - iersed envelope, asking for her leafiet on Regucing.

Comfort Accented in Decoration BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It has been many generations since comfort was so accented in decoration as it is today, In the time before the term “interior decoration” was coined, when embellishment and beauty were secondary and necessity foremost, com- fort was in its supremacy. All house- hold furnishings were the outcome of necessity originally and this was :l]wflg coupled with comfort. It has not been so far back that many who are alive today can remember the | time when rooms must be decorative whether they were at the price of ease | or_not. | Much strict period decoration was | far from comfortable to live in, since the luxuries of the period they repre- sented could not include the modern conveniences and developments to make living easier. wgentheul.cmfluttbelp- pearance of a room was the criterion of its excellence in decoration many old-time comforts were set aside as not sufficiently ornamental to be cluded. The craze for supersanitation | eliminated many comfortable furnish- | ings. putting in thelr place severe and | hard fittings, but, strange as it may | seem, this very influence is partly re- sible for the return of some luxu- ous furnishings. For instance, car- pets were once banished and portable rugs that could be taken from rooms were the favorite floor coverings be- cause the dust raised when carpets x - 'was undoubted], Avighrigrrg e 15 Y Tobus Qiring e leane THIS ARRANGEMENT FEATURES COMFORT WITH GOOD DECORATION. ing, but it was breathed in also by the one who swept. With the modern vacuum cleaner oarpets, with their soft, luxurious tread, are again in style. They make floors warmer and deaden sound all over a floor and ease the feet of the occupants. They do not slip as rugs on bare floors do. Plain carpets save the life of rugs laid on them and bring out their beauty if the carpet color is neutral and soft. The return of ottomans or footstools to favor makes life more comfortable. Now that long dresses are coming into vogue, women find them graceful to use as foot rests and just as easy for tired feet as do men. Low footstools also make for comfort.

For the line of color buy some felt o the desired shade. An eighth of a yard will be all you can use to trim many dresses. Cut the felt into even half-inch strips and at the edge where you want the line of color to appear baste a strip of the felt, tak- ing care that it Is perfectly even with the materia). Stitch the felt and dress material together on the wrong side, then turn the material and trim the felt off evenly so that an even line appears extending beyond the dress material. You can do this to get & line of color at the edge of collar, cuffs, belt and pockets or to outline a panel of mate- rial. This is a simple, practical way introducing a little color on children’s cloth Winter dresses. ‘There is a persistent rumor of the return of the short-sleeved suit jacket, reminiscent of the fashions of the first decade of the century, One or two of MARSHALL. the French dressmakers have actually shown them and the increasing vogue | for long glcves would certainly help the | fashion onr its way.

Dear Mrs, Allen: Will you please explain in your helpful column why money is so cheap in New York, and yet my husband and I were unable to get any reduetion in interest on the mortgage on our place, which came due the first of June. One day we saw by the paper that “call money” was down below 2 per cent in New York. Yet we | are paying 8 per cent, with the very best security, as now over half of the ;rlslnal mortgage is all paid off.—Mrs. A great many people have been won- dering, just as you have, how it happens hat money could 80 “cheap” this Summer on the New York market and yet have the interest rates hold up so nearly normal all over the rest of the country. Money is “cheap,” like anything else, when there is more of it than is needed—when the supply PUFFY “I heard a little joke about a lazy Gull,” says Puff, is greater than the demand, as the economists say. ©One thing about our present cheap money is that it is cheap only for short- time borrowings. And while that doesn't help much in renewing your mortgage, it is a very optimistie sign. ‘There is a plentiful supply of money in the country now, because business is rather quiet, so the normal amount of money is not demanded for use in buy- ing end selling. Ordinarily as much “slack” as there is at present between the demand and the supply of money | would indicate hard times, with prob- ably a great deal of unemployment and suffering. Money ‘would be available all over the country at low rates. But it just isn't behaving that way. Call money, as you notived in the paper, is .cheap.. Buf call money is money which may be borrowed subject to “call,” or repayment, at any time on one day's motice. The fact that it is cheap means that there is plenty of money today, but the fact that all loans for a longer perjod are bearing interest much nearer normal means that money lenders are expeeting better times very soon. They are willing, as one banker says, to lend their money at low rates for a few days or weeks, but won't tie any of it up beyond six months, because they expect the demand to be much keener before Spring. Of course, the difference between the 2 per cent for call money and the 8 per cent which you pay on the mort- gage seems pretty large, even under the circumstances. There is not ordinarily more than 3 or 4 per cent between call money rates and real estate loans. In fact, the rate which banks pay for sav- ing deposits is generally about-the same as call money. It is in the rate at which banks get their money and the difference’ between that and the loans they make that they get their profit. One reason why you have to pay so much on a small mortgage is just be- cause it is small. The Bookkeeping costs of making & small loan are just as great Just that that makes you & good execu- tive. ¥ou never do anything any one else can do just as well.” o He is right. In those two simple remarks you have the basic character- istics of the good executive. Take over work from your superiors without being asked to do so—that's the first rule. Let your subordinates do everything they can do in your place—that's the second. Of course, & little common sense i8 necessary. No gifl is going to get along if she tries this with a man who is jealous of his job. She has to be sure that he is big enough to want her to“ have a chance. But not every girl wants to be an executive. Many girls—and many men—prefer to take orders rather than to give them. The girl who lies awake at night worrylng about responsibility :|should not try to do executive work. She should take o:ders and let some one else do the worrying. But if she likes responsibility, 1f it does not worry her, then she might follow the recipe of Mrs. Blake. (Copyright. 1930.) JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in Etiquette, BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.
