- . Avenues of Fashion For the G APT. ANTHONY EDEN, along with his other accomplish- | ments, has proven that top | hats and diplomacy need not | be synonymous. In fact, his choice, | at least for formal day wear, has been | the black or midnight blue Homburg. | Our artist has shown this hat on a | young man surrounded by the last work in swank, i. e. a dowager, a town car, and a chauffeur. Our guess is that he's illustrating one ot Emily Post’s rules of etiquette. But, what | ever the object of the surroundings, | there’s no doubting the smartness of | his peaked lapel fly front topcoat. | or the over-squared twill pattern of his suit. The walking stick is op- | tional. | ook Sk i JPERHAPS the popularity of double- breasted jackets has something to do with it. However, peaked lapels on single-breasted suits are in perfect | fashion. The model we have shown here has these features—two buttons, piped pockets, and the new London | effect that provides a maximum of | ease immediately below the arm hole P HE derby hat lends a crisp smart- | ness to an outfit that has been chosen with care. It may well be the choice of those who usually have a | Rard time getting a hat to become | | | | them Proportions, however, must be right.

Gannet (Moris Bassana). N THE seacoasts in various parts of the world, the gan« nets, who are related to the cormorants and pelicans, make their living by diving for fish. They are handsome birds, built on powerful lines, for they are graceful divers. no outside nostrils. When flying over water where fish are leaping, you should see quickly the gannet prepares for a nose dive. The wings are folded wedge-shape, the head is pointed straight down, and when the large bird strikes the water, there is a spray 10 feet high. During the time of migration, these birds may be seen well off the coast of Virginia, enjoying themselves. In places where they have been treated kindly, they show little sense of fear. But they have been unmercifully hunted in some places, and their number has grown shamefully small By April, most gannets have left their Winter grounds for their homes where they meet their mates and raise their children. They have for | many years been seen at Bird Rock. Bonaventure and Anticcsti Isles in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and some of | them go to the southeastern part of Newfoundland, others to the islets off the British Isles and Iceland. Here on the ledges, overlocking great expanses of water, they build their seaweed nurseries. In the cradle will be laid a single egg. a bluish-white one, with a chalky shell, that looks | stained and weather-beaten Through the brooding time, the mothers are so close together that they look frcm a distance like banks of snow. With much gossip and con- versation, the din is much like that under a circus tent. They call to each other in a harsh gor-r-rroh, above the roar of the waves. However, these mothers feel fairly | safe from feces, and most conveniently situated for bathing and fishing pur- poses. All they have to do is tumble off the ledge, and a bath and a meal may be had on the same trip. After the downy coat has been shed by the young gannet, he dons a dark brown suit with grayish tints. Each feather has a tiny wedge-shaped spot The breast and under parts are white | edged with grayish brown.

LIGHTFOOT the Deer and Slimlegs were deep in the woods near the M foot of the Great Mountain. | They had been tempted over there by | the report of beechnuts and they had found that the report was true. They had feasted until now few of the sweet little three-sided nuts were left. They | | were far from their home in the Green | Forest on Farmer Brown's land. | Mrs. Lightfoot was growing uneasy. | Yes, sir, Mrs. Lightfoot was growing | uneasy. You see, it was getting late in the season. Most of the leaves had dropped from all the trees, excepting those that are green all Winter. Jack Frost came nightly. The air was clear and sharp. Mrs. Lightfoot knew that | soon the hunters with terrible guns would be looking for Deer. So she was uneasy. She wanted to go back to| their home in the Green Forest, where no hunters were allowed. But Lightfoot was in no hurry to return. “Time enough,” said he, “to worry when the hunters appear. There may not be any hunters. Don't borrow trouble, my dear.” Slimlegs had no idea what hufiters | with terrible guns were like. You see, this was his first Autumn. He had already learned nfuch about those | hunters who wore fur, such as Bus- ter Bear and Yowler the Bobcat, and | | he had been taught how to be con- | | tinually on the watch for them and | how to avoid them, but of hunters | with terrible guns he knew nothing. | When his mother said that even Lightfoot was afraid of them he couldn't and didn't believe it. He couldn't believe that his father could be afraid of anybody or anything Had he not seen him do no more than step aside when great big Bus- ter Bear came along? And Buster had simply appeared not to notice him at all. Had he not once seen Lightfoot plunge at Yowler the Bob- cat and Yowler leap away and climb { AT LAST THEY STOPPED IN A CLOSELY GROWN THICKET. | a tree, snarling with rage? No. he couldn't believe that Lightfoot would be afraid of any one. ‘Then one morning as the three of them topped a ridge, Lightfoot in the lead, as usual, a Merry Little Breeze came dancing to meet them. In- stantly Lightfoot threw up his head and stood motionless. Mrs. Lightfoot did the same thing. Because they did it Slimlegs did it, too. but that was the only reason he did it. Presently he became aware that there was strange smell brought by that Merry | Little Breeze. He got it only faintly, very faintly, and it didn't disturb him, | for it was new and had no meaning. | Lightfoot turned and swiftly led them back the way they had come. He made no sound. nor did Mrs. Lightfoot, who followed close. They | took the greatest care to avoid step- ping on sticks that might snap. Of course, Slimlegs did as they did and all the time he was wondering what it meant, for it was clear to him that they were running away from something. He had seen fear in Light- foot’s eyes, something he never had seen there before. He could tell by | every movement Lightfoot made that | he was afraid. It was a shock. It was unbelievable. but it was so! His father was afraid and was running away! And because his father and mother were afraid Slimlegs was afraid, but of what he knew not At last they stopped in a closely grown thicket. “What is it?>” whis- If a Cold Threatens.

Did you not smell them?” T don’t know,” replied Slimlegs. “I caught a strange scent when We stopped back there on the ridge, but | I do not know what it was.” “It was the man scent,” replied | | Mrs. Lightfoot. “The one scent we most dread at this time of year.

'HE heaviest man that ever lived weighed 739 pounds; the lightest, 17 pounds (Tom Thumb). John Ausen of California holds the record for | height. He measures 8 feet 8 inches. Tom Thumb, who held the opposite record, was 21.6 inches tall. Brain weights vary less than any other anatomical part. That is, there | are fewer exceptional cases in the | general population. The brain of the | average male weighs 1400 grams. That of the average female weighs {1300 grams. It is said that Crom- | well's brain weighed 2,231 grams. That is the heaviest brain weight on record. The other extreme was that of a female Italian, whose brain weighed 289 grams. Brain weight for some reason at- tracts more attention than other anatomical measurements. The popu- lar notion is that a large brain means a correspondingly great intelligence. If it were possible to ‘obtain a suffi- ciently large number of measuremens, | the popular notion might possible be found to be true. But here again | the exceptions are puzzling. Rather | frequently men of great ability have | been known to have less than average brain weight. The brain of Gambetta, the great French statesman, weighed only’ 1294 grams. Walt Whitman's weighed 1,182 grams. On the other hand, Byron's brain weighed 2,200 grams. 1 ‘The usual explanation of the brain- intelligence problem is something like | this: There is a certain as yet un- | known minimum brain weight below which intelligence is deficient. Addi- tional brain weight is no guarantee of exceptional mental ability. Tramp Gets Free Air Ride. Durban, South Africa, recently el | tertained the first aviation, hitch- hiker.

Buchand, | a pilot and lonesome, stopped for gas and asked Blacker to ride to Durban |as company. “Can’t possibly,” said | Blacker, “but T have a tramp at my | house who wants to get to Durban Would you take him? He can't pay anything.” At Durban a crowd gath- ered to greet the first tramp to get a “lift” by air. How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. Bricks Without Straw.
