Then- you see that your leaves are filled with tiny holes, they seem to have been un- der_considerable gun-fire. Then before your eyes, the flap of a wee pistol is raised. A tiny brown head peeps out. Is this fellow one of the culprits? The pistols are all standing barrel end down and at right angles. The fight must be over and a truce declared. Not a bit of it. You find that every pistol is loaded with a little enemy of yours. He hides in his pistol | and has located it so close to the green of trees and bushes and such dried | berries as were still clinging to bushes. | And they learned, too. what a ble those snow shoes’ were, for they could walk with easc wherc those without snow shoes could not walk at all Then with the first deep snow Mrs. Loy “WHEN SNOW COMES YOU WILL FIND OUT QUICKLY ENOUGH ‘ WHAT THOSE LITTLE POINTS BETWEEN YOUR TOES ARE FOR,” SAID MRS. GROUSE. Grouse taught them how to go to bed in it by plunging down into it and then working their way a short distance from where they entered. It seemed | queer the first time, but after they were used to it they liked it. It sur- prised them to find how snug and warm they were. Above them a storm might | howl and-rage without disturbing them lin the least or causing them the least | discomfor ~ Yes, sir, they liked their white blanket at’night. “Don’t think that because you are | out of sight you are out of danger,” | warned Mrs. Grouse. “Reddy Fox and | Mrs. Reddy, Old Man Coyote and | Yowler the Bobcat know all about this | trick of ours, so you must never enter | the snow when you have reason to sus- | pect that one of them is about. It is | wisest to wait until dusk before plung- |ing in, for then you cannot be seen | from g distance. And when you come |out in the morning it is best to burst | out flying, for an enemy might be close at hand and you not know it.” Now one of the young Grouse was headstrong_and inclined to do as he pleased. The wonder is that he had | lived as long as he had. He took pride in the strength of his wings and in his own smartness. So, although he heard | what Mrs. Grouse said, he paid no heed | for, as he said to himself, “I guess she | can't tell me what to do and what not |to do. I wasn't born yesterday. I have| |been out in the Great World long enough to know a thing or two and if |I can't take care of myself without | being told how to do it it is time I was | caught.” | S0 it happened that on the afternoon |of the day when Reddy Fox had been | teased by Jumper the Hare this head- strong young Grouse took it into his | foolish head not to wait for the others ng | leaf nearby that all he has to do when hungry is to lift up the flap of the butt end of the pistol case and stretch his | body over to the leaf. He hangs to the case with his feet, using it as a step ladder. When his hunger is appeased, he steps back in his citadel and takes a nap. The pistol case is made of tough, brownish-gray silk, the end curling over to permit him to go out for his meals. The owner can move his house about at will to new pastures. About June 1, mottied gray moths, with smooth heads, wiGe narrow wings and sweeping antennae, step from the pistol cases. From the encampment moths are to be seen leaving the cases. ‘They flit about over the trees and soon mate. We lose sight of the father moth, we are so interested in watching the mother, who is seeking a broad, fine | leaf, under which to secure her eggs. | In Midsummer the little gun-toters | will hatch.

Realizing no doubt that to openly take another’s | property is dangerous business, they construct their pistol cases. In this home they live until Septem- ber.

ERE is the new wool mesh scarf that you can very easily make yourself with the aid of a sim- ple crochet hook and wool | yarn in three colors. If you have never crocheted this| mesh ‘or fish net stitch you have no iden how easy it is—once you have| learned how. In order to make sure| what dimensions to use in your work it is best to do a little experimenting to begin with. Start with a chain of 15 or 20 stitches, then put your yarn over the needle twice and put the needle through the fifth stitch back, draw the yarn through two loops, then put yarn over needle and draw through again in a regular double crochet stitch This forms the first cross line in your mesh. Now crochet three stitches and make a_similar double crochet stitch three stitches back from the first dou- ble crochet stitch | All of this may sound a little com- plicated—but if you know anything about crocheting you will easily be able to get the desired effect. There are va- rious ways of arranging the mesh | stitches in your scarf, but the best ef- fect is obtained by working diagonally as indicated in the sketch. using stripes | of three different colors, such as black, blue and white, Spanish tile, brown and beige or red, black and white. | (Copyright, 1931.)

CuarLes CHAPLIN, UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME, ENTERED A CONTEST WHICH OFFERED A SCREEN TEST TO HIS BEST IMITATOR. HE WON THIROD PLACE,” LEEDS, problem (which often happens) I have to let the one answer apply to ail, and I write a beauty talk on that particu- lar subject. Now for your beauty prob- lem. Your hair will continually grow in at the scalp its natural shade, no mat- ter how often you bleach the hair that has grown. Which means that you will have to keep on bleaching it at the roots at regular intervals. This constant bleaching and overlapping gives the hair a streaky appearance, and in time the overbleached hair becomes dull, dry and lifeless. While there are a great num- ber of girls who use peroxide to bleach ashen biond and light brown hair blond, it can always be distinguished from the true blond type, and if the practice is continued it gives a hard, unnatural appearance. Then, too, some types of hair cannot stand the drastic bleaching and so they soon lose their sheen and live appearance. It is, in my opinion, far better to remain true to one’s own type and coloring no matter whether one likes the shade or not. Beautiful hair is healthy hair, no matter what its shade, and a well groomed head of light brown hair or medium brown is just as attractive as blond hair (espscially if it is an artificially bleached blond). If you are determined to continue to imitate a blond you should have an experienced hairdresser bleach your hair at regular intervals and give yourself special ofl treatments together with scalp massage and thorough brushing every night, Personally, I would advise you to avoid the use of undiluted peroxide and use a mild blond rinse or camomile rinse to bring out the hidden lights in your type of hair. You may use two tablespoon- fuls peroxide, one tablespoonful am- monia, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice mixed with one quart of tepid water as a final rinse. Give your scalp a warm- oil treatment hefore the shampoo. Beat the whites of two eggs with a mild liquid soap and apply it evenly over the scalp. Massage with the tips of the fingers for several minutes, then rinse in tepid water. Use a mild liquid soap to wash your hair and rinse thorough- ly. Dry between warm towels.
