W’I lpmnnu in l.ové s Awakening The Ilnrl Story Sh.dl’ln Wo-u By Adele Garrison Chipping of the Ink- 3 un. Madge’s At- e o0 the Blackmail Mary's reom, ready to clean it, presented & ‘sudden obstacle in my investiga- :flem of the ink-stained blotter. 1 shot a furtive glance toward the waste basket. Yes it still contained ‘the crumpled pieces of the blotter, although it seemed to me that they were jammed lower down in it than 1'had seen them, and that the bas- Ret itself was not in exactly the samie place that it had been a few ‘miinutes before. But Katie easily “could ‘have beea responsible for beth these things in the ordinary voutine of *picking up” the room. 1 'did net wish her to suspect my interest in the wastebasket. On the othér hand I felt that 1 must make my investigation as soon as possible. “1 think that's a good idea of youra, Katie,” I said, “to clean these rooms this morning while the girls are gone. But I want you to make & special dessert for luncheon—Mr. Graham was asking for that pink pudding of yours and you know that takes some time, so I'll help you. You go over to Marion's room and clean that and I'll get this one started. 1 want to look over the clothes In Mary's closet anyway. Some of them I'm sure ought to go to the cleaner's and others I'm go- Ing to turn over to the sewing wo- mas when she comes to go over Marion’s things for school. Let me know when youre through in Marion's room.” It slways makes Katie cross when I offer ‘o help her with the cleaning—she seems to feel that I am impugning her ability to :c- complish her routine tasks. So I was not surprised to hear her grumbling to herself as she picked up her brushes and pail and started for Marion's room. But I wasted no time upon her, waited only until she was safely insile Marion's room before locking the door of Mary's. -~ Now for a newspaper— one of the evening before was lying on the reading table. I spread it care- fully over the bed which Mary had —lym“.nm‘lul Set not your heart on anything Lest 4t but- dissppointment bring. Cubby Bear had his mouth all made up for-a fat Wood Mouse. liobby Coom was going to show Pim where ft wes. Of course, that Wood Mouse was none other than Whitefoot. Babby had almost caught him and Whitefost had escaped by darting.through a knothole into an old leg. Bobby had tried to get him out and couldn’t. Then Bobby had: rolled the log over, so that the knothole was against the ground and Whitefoot was a prisoner. Now Bebby was going to show Cubby Bear that log. You see, Cubby Bear thought that with his stout claws he might be able to tear it open. : Bobby Coon led the way, shuf- fling ‘along up from the Laughing Breok. Cubby Bear shuffled along behind him. Both of them walked fiat-footed, which is something very few of the Httle people who wear fur can do. Most of them walk on toes. But Bears and Raccoons put their whole foot down, touch- ing the heel to the ground. - “Where is this Mouse?” grumbled Cubby Bear, as he noticed the di- rection, in which Bobby Coon was going. " *It's up near the veplied Bobby Coon. bby Bear said nothing, but he looked: a little uncasy. You see, the lept time he was up there he had beps Dbadly frightened by his fa- ther, great big Buster Bear. - Presently they reached the little clearing around the sugar-house. They stopped to make sure that the way was clear. Then Bobby Coon lcd the way to the little log in which he had left Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, It was a small log. Cubby Bear could pick it up easily. “I don’'t see any knothole,” said he. “It's ‘underneath,” explained Bob- by. rotled the log over.” “All cight, we'll roll it buck,” #uld Cubby Bear, and he did just that thing. ‘When the log was rolled over there ‘was the little knothole. Cubby Bear sniffed at it. There was the freah scent of Mouse. Yes, sir, ther: was the fresh scent of Mouse. There certainly had been a Mouse in there. Cubby Bear wasted no time “I'll sogn get that fellow out of there,” safd he. He hooked his stout claws in the edge of that knothole. The wood was old and somewhat decayed aroynd the knothole. Cubby Bear vulled. He pulled and he pulled. A splinter of wood gave way, making a crack. The scent of Mouse w stronger. You should have Cubby go to work then. He hooked his claw in that crack and tugged and pulled and ripped out another big splinter.

Then I dumped the contents of the basket upon the paper and rapidly tingered them over. They were few in number — the strips of freshly cut new blotter which 1 had seen before, a spoiled dress pattern, some picture postal- cards from her young brothers, and two advertisements of business schools. Quicksy I put these back in the basket, trying to make it look just as it had before, and then spread the crumpled pieces of the blotter out upon the paper. They had been torn repeatedly, and as I tried *o fit them together into the original form, I felt like the conventional sleuth in a third- rate cinema recl. But I persisted and finally had them all fitted to- gether — around a cleanly cut cir- cular hole in the center! T looked over the pieces on the bed, every one was accounted for. And there had been no pieces of the old blotter in the wastebasket — I checked its contents again to make sure. Somcone—of course Mary — had cut that circle, no doubt to take out the ink-soalied portion of which she had spoken when she asked for the new blotter from me. But if that hypothesis were the true one, where was that inky section? 1 looked carafully over the edges of the circular hole. No trace of ink there. Nor could I find any on the sides of the wastcbasket. Either the girl had been equivocating when € e spoke of epilling the ink on the blotter, or she had wadded the ink- soaked portion of the blotter in a paper and carried it outside her room for disposal. But one thing more remained for me to do. With meticulous care I cyed the fitted pleces of blotter spread out on the bed before : e. There were traces of blotted ink lines upon it, but so few and faint that there was nothing to be de- ciphered from them. Copyright, 1928, Newspaper Feature Service, Inc. Cubby Bear shuffled along behind him don’t know,” said he. “I left him there. He was a prisoner. You saw for yourself that that log was ly- ing with that opening against the ground. That Mouse was in there when I left.” “Then why isn't he here demanded Cubby. But that was something Bobby Coon couldn't answer. wished he could. Just then Cubby Bear happened to look down at the ground. Right where that old log had been there was a little shallow hole in the ground. Cubby sniffed at it. There was the Mouse scent again. He followed it along the ground with his nose. It led straight away to- ward the little sugar-house. “Huh!" exclaimed Cubby in dis- gust. “All he had to do was dig out. He just dug right out while you were down there fishing at the Laughing Brook. If you were not so old and tough I'd take you in place of that Mouse.” Bobby Coon backed away riedly.

TORTOISE BUTTONS A sports dress of fancy beige, Lrown and yellow flecked novelty fabric has its skirt button in points onto the crew-necked waist with Autumn Season Comes Into Its Own Richness of Color, Fascinating Individuality Mark a Mode That Is Distinctly Mrs. Hunt T. Dickinson BY BETSY SCHUYLER 1 New York, 8ept. 22.—The autumn snap in the air is rivalled only by the snap in clothes one sees on the Avenue, at the Ritz, at theater op- enings or dancing at the Ambassa- dor. This fall season, which used to be called the ‘“little season” out of kindness because it was simply a betwixt-and-between time, has taken on character. Whether it's a tweed suit that steps jauntily off the Ile de France or a sumptuous wrep :id tenderly across the theater seat, there's ricnness in color this au- tumn, there's fascinating individ- uality in cut and trim, and there's fullness everywhere, In skirts' widths, in loose sleeves, in tiers and other whatnots. Dignity in Sperts Attire Teaing at S8herry's, Mrs. Gil- bert Keech sponsored a ruddy- brown satin frock with circular skirt and a corresponding circular scarf that gave a bertha effect. A red fox scarf gave the final touch of chic. Sports clothes grow a trifle for. mal and less nonchalant under the influence of so much dignity in dressy things. Witness a dark ! green ensemble Mrs. H. Dahlgren wore at the Belmont races. Its leng coat was slightly moulded in line with lighter green turned back cuffs of jersey and the light green jersey frock under it was one-piece, with circular skirt and a fitted feeling throughout. Grace Vall returned to the States from a summer in Paris smartly turned out in a navy blue one-plece redingote cut with euch a flaring hem, Her cute small black hat of fox felt was all but brimless, with a flaring dip on the right side that touched her shoul- der. Woolens are calling “check” on chie right now. Anne Caldwell | stepped off the Aquitania in a checked ensemble that used the black-white fabric diagonally in its circular skirt and up and down it its three-quarters raglan coat. The smartest little novelty checked suit to yet appear this fall did so when Mrs. George B. 8t. George went to the Belmont races last week. A soft grey background was broken by a novelty check in very dark grey. The coat was rath- er plainly tailored and the skirt box pleated all the way round. With it she wore something new in hats, too, a grey tweed with a short back-line and a decided flare in front. Lace is having its day at open- ings. It is satin for dancing right now, but lace for “first nights. There must have been half a hun- dred charming versions, black, white and colored, at the opening of “The Great Power.” Peggy Hoyt wore a most stunning wrap, a voluminous two-toned apricot velvet, the lighter tone fashioning charming high collar and deep cuffs. A Youthful Mode Minna Gombel, the leading wo- man, showed a preference for youthful frock«. Charming and individual they were too. One is called ‘“Patou,” “king” or “royal” blue. The bost unusual shade was raisin, with a jabot, white- lined, on both skirt and blouse. Jabots, fancy lapels and a bow here and there can be most effect- ive this season, particularly if used restrainedly. Certainly noth- ing could be more chic than the beige revers, or uneven cut, that adorn a black ensemble Mrs. Hunt T. Dickinson wore on Park ave- nue. Her little black hat had a perky bow of beige velvet front- ing it and tucking up the narrow brim to show her eyebrows. BOB LOSES HUBRY London, Sept, 21 Mrs. Mabel Annie Marton, of Hillcroft, logt her husband when she bobbed her hair. A suit for separate maintenance at Canterbury alleges that Marton dis- appeared the morning after Mrs. Marton had her hair bobbed con- trary to his wishes.

Mrs, Gilbert Keech Prize Beauty Will Star In Opera EA New York Bureau After Hope Hampton won first prize in a beauty contest in Houston, Tex., she easlly gained a place in the cinema world. But the movies held little fascination for her, so she studied voice culture and now has signed a contract with the Philadel- phia Grand Opera Comipany for a debut this season. Pupils Can’t Love Teacher Any More Newcomerstown, 0. Sept. 21— The business of falling in love with teacher was taboo here when school started this fall. The board of education had voted to prohbit “dating” between teach: ers and puplls. The penalty, in case of marriage, is dismissal, even though the second party to the ceremony is not within jurisdiction of the schools. The resolution in part: “Any pupil or teacher of the New- comerstown school district marry- ing within the school year auto- matically withdraws from the school. “Any teacher of the schools ‘dat- ‘ng' with a pupil of her school, au- tomatically resigns her position.” Genoa, Italy, Sept. wp)— While Miss Edda Mussolini, daughter of the premier, was traveling by train from Spezia to Borgotaro, she performed a gracious action towards an artillery officer badly wounded in the war, and his family. Miss Mussolini was in a reserved compartment of the train, and no- ticed that owing to the crowded state of the coaches, the officer and his family were unable to find seats and ran the risk of being left behind The Duce’s daughter.sent the con- ductor to ask the officer and his family to accept the hospitality of her reserved compartment.

At other times, however. particularly when one may not look one’s best, they prove the most becoming of all hats to wear. Felt hats, cut at the shop to suit the lines of the face, assure grat- er becomingness. In selecting these, it one has economy in mind, it is well to rernember that beige is admirable with anything.

But many & fair wearer is not sorry between scasons to exchange a fur coat of any kind for one of lightweight cloth without a bit of fur trime ming on it. A fur neckpiece may be added to a lightweight coat as a smart touch. I do not think that women will allow their hair to grow, at least for a long time. Postiches are row worn with tight clasping tar- rettes, and, in my opinion, this will be followed by wigs, white, laven- der, and other colors, as in the days of Louis XIV and XV.
