2 - 23 . Jund valls mit_a rag tied by hroom.” The Disconcerting Problem to Which Madge Awakened Lilllan and I arrived home safely, but 1 was almost exhausted when I finally reached the shelter of the house, so terrific had been the strain of driving in the fog, one of the worst we had ever expericnced IAlllan made me drink some hot milk, and tucked me into bed with a peremptory admonition to sleep the clock round The next morning the sound of feminine voices in unmistakable tones of acrid altercation vutside my door brought me to a sitting posture with a jerk, and a realization, as I saw the sun streaming through my windows, that I had come disgracefully near to fulfilling her injunction literally, “I tell you that is 2 cobweb up there in the corner of the hall. I may be getting old, but T am still able to distinguish a cobweb when 1 see one. It's come to a pretty pass when I can find a thing like that in the house. Of course, I realize you haven't been able to do much this last day or two, but this thing must have been there a week.” I recognized the peculiar timbre of my mother-in-law’s voice. She was on one of her house-cleaning ram- pages, and 1 groaned as 1 recognized the symptoms. “I might have known,” I said to myself, remembering Dicky's oft re peated declaration that his mother let oft steam by inaugurating a general cleaning. “How Dare You—" “When she's aching for a row and ean’t get one, she takes it out on the broom and the scrubbing pail,” he had said, and the memory of his words {lluminated her present activity. Lillian mut have made her see the fmpossibility of her attitude toward the welcoming of poor wounded Tom Chester to our home, and she there- fore would not carry out her threat to leave the house. But she had not forgiven me, and every nook and cor- ner of the house would realize the fact before she finally exorcised the devil of temper which was driving her. 1 listened tensely for Katie's voice, for, of course, 1 knew that my mother-in-law's remarks were ad- dressed to my faithful little maid. And I knéw, with the sound of the first syllable that Katie was in the rebellj- ous mood, which if not checked preans an explosion. “J clean me dis hall two days ago,” the girl protested sullenly. ‘“Noting NEW BRITAIN DAILY SLeeEPY- TIME TAL(S FATTY COON MORE OF HIS ENTURES 1T BAILEY i FA'I’T\' COON AND BENJAH!‘!

You never knew where he was going to be, He simply couldn’t. keep still. And since he never appeared until dusk, it was al- most. impossible to see him. Because of all his zigzagging about, you would have had a geod deal of trouble keeping him in sight even in broad daylight. | Well, Fatty Coon explained that h-; expected to have corn for his supper. “There's nothing better than corn,” | he declared. “I've never tasted it,"” Benjamin Bat remarked from far over on Fatty's| right. “Then I'll invite you to come and enjoy a meal of corn with me,” said Fatty Coon. *Than you very much,” Benjamin replied from far over on Fatty's left. “I.accept with pleasure, T know where the cornfield is, so I'll lead the betfer to do than to contradiet your elders with a musty, worm-eaten, old story like that, it's time vou found something." With my gown half over my head 1 stopped aghast., Mother Graham must be on an unusual rampage to speak thus to Lillian's young daugh- ter, of whom sha is extremely fond I would hardly have been more sur- prised had she scolded Junior.

It 18 the last word of Junior's aver- sion to anyone, this phrase of "Go way."

I invited him to supper.” There seemed to be nothing for Fatty to do but to follow Benjamin, 4t leagt until he could overtaké him and explain that, as the guest of the evening, Benjamin ought to be the follower and not the leader.

Instead of héading for the corn- field, Fatty soon found himself facing Cedar Swamp. “My goodness!" he cried in dis- ers Abroad JACK AND EDNA IN FIRST TILT. Jack answered the question in Ed- na's eyes by handing her a telegram: “Herr Duryea,” it said, “Welcome to Berlin. You will find everything ready. Also congratulate me on big order just secured Berlin office. Feliel- tations to Frau Duryea.

If he Jets some of the business come to| us—business that is ours by rights— he can say the tide has turned and maybe the people at honfé will be- may. "I'll never reach the cornfield at this rate; and I'm growing hungrier every minute.” Then he tripped over a root and fell into a pool of water. “Hi, there!” he bawled to Benjamin Bat. "“Wait a bit! Keep still a mo- ment! T want to talk with you." “Here T am,” Benjamin Bat piped. And now his voice came from the di- rection of the pasture fence. “Come nearer! I can't hear you clearly.” Fatty Coon scrambled out of ‘the pool and ran as fast as he could to- ward the spot from which Benjamin Pat’s voice had just floated on the balmy night air. “Nbw, don't move until I give the word,” Fatty called. “You're my guest and you must do as I tell you.

But inter- national fasMions have done mdre, They have made it the smart starting point for drapery, over-panneling and pleats, And in order to draw still further attention to this hip style there {s the cabochon. It may be of beads. Or embroidery. It may be a buckle-—but it serves to emphasize the folds, pleats and tucks that are used in the new sidewise style which give a smart flat effect fronf and back. You might net think that this long- waisted style would influence a hem. But it does. from the regular straight hemline and does all sorts of delightful Bohemian things. Sometimes it extends to the ground, or when a panel is used it ends in points, other times it flares. ‘Whatever course it takes.it remains true to smartness. . about on the edge of Cffiar Swamp. You'll have to follow me. Luckily at that moment, Benjamin Bat happened to skim close to Fat- ty's head. So he heard what Fatty was saying. J % “I can't follow anybody that moves in a straight line, slowly,” Benjamin Bat cried. . “I have tried to travel that way: and it always makes me so dizzy that 1 have to stop to hang by my heels .from a branch, upside down, until my head clears. “My goodness! I'm dizzy from try- ing to tollow your zigzagging,” Fatty Coon eéxclaimed. “Then you ought to climb a tree and hang by your heels for a while. That's a sure cure” Beénjamin Bat told him. v ‘A"l try it,” said Fatty. “If T don’t feel.better T shan't be able to eat any supper.”’ So he promptly climbed the near- est tree and hung head downward, while Benjamin Bat cireled about and asked him now and then how he felt. “Worse!" Fatty told him each time with a groan. § “I'm afraid you'll have to hang there all night,” Benjamin Bat'an- nounced at last. “I'll sup with you tomorrow evening. Good-bye!" At last, Fatty Coon gave a howl of despair. At the same moment he lost his grip upon the branch where he had been cunging and fell with a thump upon the ground. He lay there for a few moments. And when he stood up he feit well again. He was dlzzy no longer. “Now for a good supper of corn,” he muttered, as he turned about and started across the pasture.

The fur used is mole. Decided Contrasts Colors grow more brilliant season advances, and contrasts more violent.

Embroidered Velvet. Not only is the velvet gown of this eeason beaded and braided, but fre- quently it is entirely. covered with em- broidery, usually of self color. Ho ever, peasant embroidery, in gay colors, is also used. Dancing Frocks. The most vouthful dancing frocks have gashes, tied in large bows at the hips. Taffeta and velvet frocks are most frequently treated this way. Sports Coat. A smart sport coat is of black and white checks, the checks being about four inches square, with a large collar of gray Russian wolf. A deep orange lining is another striking feature. i If You Are Well Bred You do not typetwrite social notes, in- vitations or notes of regret or ae- ceptanve, You do not send letters that misrepresent you, such as those| with blots, written on eoiled or highly colored stationery, or with note paper and envelopes not matching, You do not write with a pencil unless ink is positively unobtainable. \hmue A La Mode Frequently the Chinese suitor does not see the woman to whom he has proposed marriage until she is borne to his home, on the wedding day, in a locked sedan, followed by her rela- tives and friends, Her nearest male relative givés the key to the sedan to the groom.

ATTACKS DEMOCRATS Tax Commissioner Blodgett Criticizes ,Attitude of Jeffersonians on Eight- eenth Amendment at Rally, Here. Tax Commissioner Willlam _H. Blodgett spoke at a rally and dance held by the Young People's Repub- lican club last night at the Elks' club. In his address the tax commission- er assajled the democratic party in this state. He made special mention of the stand of the democrats on the eighteenth amendment, The speaker in part said, "I was not in favor of ‘the eighteenth amend- ment because T believe the™federal government has not the right to legis- late what the people of .this country shall eat, drink and wear.” He said that this is a‘matter for tha individual states t# gettie but inasmuch as the amendmegt 18 at- tached to the Constitution it should be respected and enforced. The speaker said that it madq him happy when he came to New Britain last evening to notice that all factory windows were lighted which meant that the people were employed. He contrasted this condition with that of two years ago when, he said, over 5,000,000 men were walking the streets in all parts of the country dur- ing the period referred to by Samuel Gompers as “the worst depression in the history of the country.” Si;ple ;Vay to .
