Here was a grief she could not hope to comfort. She didn't understand it. She was mute in the presence of:it. Softly she stole out of the laundry and sought refuge in the roadster awaiting at the curb. “Please—Ilet's start back right away,” she said to James Latham. “You need some lunch first,” was the reply. And then, as Latham looked more closely at her face: “What is it, little girl? Something has happened ?" “T can't talk about it just now,” quietly. And James Latham let the matter rest there wuntil after they,K had lunched and were well on their way out of the city. “Lady Fair, don't you feel that you can tell me now?” he said. ‘“‘Some- times two can think things out bet- ter than one—and I'd like to feel that WOMAN S0 ILL COULDNOTSTAND Say; Lydia E.Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound Made Her Well and Strong Glens Falls, N.

Mr. Rabbit had just come home and found his wife in a flutter of ex- citement. “We shall have to move at once,” she told him “Move!" exclaimed Mr. Rabbit. “In the middle of winter? I never heard of doing such a thing.” “We shall have to move today,” Mrs. Rabbit insisted. “Why " asked Mr. Rabbit. “On account of the neighbors,” said Mrs. Rabbit. And she went on with her packing. “What's wrong bors?” imquired Mr. Rabbit. "1 thought we liked them. I thought we had found them alil very pleasant.” “You're thinking of the old neigh- bors,” his wife replied, keeping right on with her packing. “And I'm think- ing of the new on “The wew ones!" cried her hus- band. “What new ones?

I know well enough that they are Weasels all dresced up in their white winter said Mr. Rabbit when he learned that. “Ah, ha! We certainly must move just as soon as we can. Why, it wouldn't be safe to let our little Jimmy go out to play in the dooryard, with a family of Weasels living so near us.” “I'm not afraid of them,” Jimmy Rabbit piped up stoutly “You don't know how savage Weasels are, my son,” his father re- marked. “They're as quick as light- And their teeth are as sharp as re only little people,” Jimmy ‘I'm sure they couldn't “Ah, ha!™ “They declared. hurt me.” “They're little-—ye: retorted his father. “But they're fierce fighters. I shouldn’t want one to catch me, big as T am.” Welil, if that was the way his fath- er felt, Jimmy Rabbit thought that Weasels, after all, must be fearsome creatures. He had had a notion that he would slip out of doors to play, when his parents were not looking. | overcome DAILY FASHION BERVIOR, Tubular Frocks Simple Jersey's a standard fabrie, but until lately dressmakers have found it hard to use, It's knit on tubes, generally 64 inches around, and ravels and stretehes if eut, Designs were needed for gowns that didn't require slicing up the sides for seams.

Gossip’s Corner Of White Muslin, An unusual evening frock from Paris is developed in white muslin, trimmed with rows and rows of tiny roses of sllver brocade, with a huge bow of silver cloth at the side. Millinery From Paris comes the report that large bows are the most popular trimming for spring hats, and that they. are increasing in size with alayrm- ing rapidity, % —_— Shoes for Spring Unusually chie white kid pumps are adorned with a wide strap of patent leather over the instep and a large cut steel buckle in an oblong shape. Ruffles Again A wide ruffie finishes one of the new frocks of printed silk, and makes an unusual, flaring line about the feet. Good Manners The hostess at an “informal after- noon tea,"” needless to say, is well dressed. A clinging silk gown, for in- stance, is quite appropriate. Yet the tactful hostess does not overdo mat- ters, for her guests will come simply attired and it would hardly be hos- pitable for her to be much more elaborately Qad than they. arrfage A La Mode The Norwegian bride always wears a wreath of white flowers. After the ceremony she is blindfolded, and, with her bridesmaids in a circle about her, dances a folk dance alone. Then she gives the wreath to one of the malds and the recipient, according to an old legend, will be the next one to wed. This goes on until the wreath has been handed to each of the brides- maids in turn, the order in which, supposedly, they will be married be- ing determined thus. PUFF PASTE BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University For patty shells, to be filled with creamed meat, fish or vegetables, for the top of a meat pie or for small pastries, puff paste is needed. Following is a good recipe: % pound (lcup) butter % pound (2 cups) flour 1, teaspoon salt Yolk 1 egg 1 tablespoon lemon juice Jce water to moisten Work the butter under the water until wax-like but not soft enough to be hard to handle. Work a small piece into flour and salt. Add lemon juice and slightly beaten egg yvolk to flour, making a little hole in center, and into this pour a small amount of water. ‘Then, with a knife, gradually make a ball of dough. As needed, add water until all the, flour has been moistened and the large dough ball can be lifted from the bowl. On a well-floured cloth, marble or board, knead until smooth, cover and let stand two minutes, With a well- floured rolling pin pat and roll to 1-8 inch thick. In center, place the but- ter, fold paste's sides and ends until butter is enclosed, pat until quite a bit thinner, being careful butter does not come through the dough or the dough atick to the board; roll to 1-8 inch thick and fold in three folds. Chill and repeat this process seven times. It is then ready to use. SMUGGLED CAT: London.—Among entries at a cat show were several fat Siamese cats which had to be smuggled out of Siam where cats are considered sacred. TRY SULPHUR ON AN EGZEEA SKIN Costs Little and Overcomes Trouble Almost Over Night. Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching ecczema, can be quickly hy applying Mentho-Sul- phur, declares a noted skin specialist. Beecause of its germ destroying prop- erties, this sulphur preparation in- stantly brings ease from skin firrita- tion, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the tor- ment without delay. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold eream. “Lights of New York” But Pretty and Cheap VOICES IN THE AIR j Tucsday, January 10, 1923, KDKA (Westinghouse—East Pittsburgh) 7:00 p. m.—News, Fashions and Fads for Women prepared by Joseph Horne Co., Pittshurgh, Pa. 7:30 p. m.—Bedtime giory for the children. 7:45 p. m.—Report of New York Stock exchange. 8:00 p. m.—Addresses by prominent business men and women. 8:30 p. m.—Piano and cello recital by Professor Viadimir Karapetoff of Cornell University, Margaret Schotte, soprano and Miss Hazel Harnish, composer and, accompanist, o | wiz | (Westinghouse—Newark). | 7:00 p. m.—Adventure stories or]‘ Travel for Young and Old.
