But Chatterer did | no-more than peck out. He didn't | take any-chances. Hé had had too | great.a fright for that. Yes. sir. he had had too great a fright for that. He didn’t even poke his nose out | any further:than he had to in order | o see, At first Chatterer didn't see any- | thing out of the usual, but a mo-| ment later a faint rustle of the leaves :caught his quick ecars. He leeked: in that direction. Then he almost swallowed his breath. Therc | was a kitten. There was no doubt | as to.what it was. But it was a Kit- | ten- with only the tiniest stump of a tail. Even as Chatterer noted this there was a rusth and another kit-| ten pounced on - this kitten. Then | over and over they rolled in the leayes. They pretended to hite, They cuffed cach 6ther. They kicked vith their hindfeet. Suddenly one of them got 10 his feet and scampere] off. In an instant the other after him. They were playing. Yes, sir, they’ were playing.

Chatterer was so interested in wAtching them that he poked his whole head ont. Who they were he couldn’t imagine But Chattere s didn’t have to wait 1008 10 find ont whose bahies these core. Out of the shadows stepped | Sre Yowler the Bobeat. You may be sure that Chatterer drew in his head. hastily.

Alrcady there were Mr. and Mrs. Yowler hunting nightly through the Green Forest, and with two more of these fierce hunters, life would be very hard, indeed, for the little people in the Green For- st. Suddenly Chatterer wanted to get away from, there. He wanted to | get home to his own part of the Green Forest, over near the Old Orchard, at Farmer Brown's.

We want to get back to that refined touch of mystery in the charm of womanhood. This has been 22, my inspiration in conceiving my new collection. I have made a very distinct effort towards a different line; The trend points t6 a much more feminine fashion and heralds the return to the grand tradition of French cou- ture—the tradition which made woman a creature of luxury, giv- ing her smartness and refinement, yet preserving that touch of mys- | tery. o he fashions of the past few vears deserve the repioaeh of hav- ing completely neglected the all- important factor of feminine charm.

I often have nottd with great interest how. little women in gen- eral know what suits them.
