Burgess) Heed this advice, though it be trite: WHeéd meéeting strangers be polite: ' —OId Mother Nature. Cubby Bear was shuffling along through the Green Forest with noth- ing particular on his mind. He hadn’t anything in particular to do. 1 suspect he was just looking around for mfachief. Cubby had started up the: Lone Little Path. Halfway up the Rill there was a sharp turn in that little path. Cubby had just started around that turn when he camé face to face with a stranger. Cubby gave a little start of sur- prige., The stranger didn't say a word. ' 3 he didn’t make a sound. He grinned. If Cubby had known more about grins he would have known that that grin was not a hap- Py grin; It was a frightened grin. ‘That stranger was frightened. + But Cubby didn't notice this. He ‘Was 100 surprised to take note of much ‘of anything. He had never @pen . gnyone quite like this strang- or. -To begin with, this stranger ‘wasp't very big. He wasn't, for in- stance, as big as Bobby Coon. He had = long, sharp face. His coat was rather whitish and looked as if it never had been brushed. He had a long tail, but there was no hair on it The stranger had stopped as sbruptly as had Cubby Bear. Cubby Bear-sat up. He is very likely to sit up when he wants to look at things. He seems: to think he can see better sitting up, but of course he cannot. The stranger didn't sit up. He look- ed hastily- to each side of him as if leoking for a place to run. But he 4i4n’t run. He just grinned, and when. he grinned he showed a mouthful of sharp teeth. “Who are you?" demanded Cub- by: Bear most impolitely. “The stranger said nothing. He merely grinned a little more broadly than before. Cubby took a step for- ward. The stranger stood still, but he began to shake. “Huh!” thought Cubby Bear. “He’s afraid of me. Yes, sir, he's afraid:-of me. I wonder if he would make good eating?” 2 The moment Cubby felt that the | stranger was afraid he himself felt very bold, It is usually that way. Cubby growled and tried to look very fierce. The stranger looked more afraid than ever. Still Cubby hesitated to attack him. He would much rather jump on him from be- hind than to try for Lim in front Cubby stepped behind a little bush Perhaps the stranger would pass on down the Lone Little Path and he could follow him. In stepping be hind the litile bush Cubby turned his head for a roment. When he look- ed around from the other side of the bush the stranger had disappear- ed. . Cubby stepped right out into the Lone Little Path looked up the Lone Little Path and down the Lone Little Path. The stranger was no- where to be seen. Then Cubby was cross. He hastily looked all around. He put his nose to the ground where the stranger had been and the scent he found there was new to him. But it wasn't unpleasant. Cubby decided that that stranger would be very good eating. He followed the scent along the ground. It led off to one side to the foot of a small tree. It was too small a tree for Cubby to cifmb. The stranger was looking dewn at him and till grinning. Cabby walked up to the foot of the tree and hegan shaking it. The stranger didn't mind at all. Then Cubby discoyered that the stranger waa not holding on with his hands | apd feet alone, but also with his tail. | wrapped around though Cubby shook and shook with all his might, he could do no more | than make the stranger grin at him. | It was most provoking. of Steadfast Woman Garrison of the things.

I guessed, had dash- ed madly through her work with that incentive—that 1 would not be througn and would delay her clean- ing of Mary's room. This would have been a triumph indeed—she is about ten years old in her jealousy over her ability to turn out work. She stalked sullenly ahead of ine to my room, late face to me. “Vot time Meester Graham vant dot pink pudding?" she asked. I started—for I had forgotten the excuse 1 had made for sharing in the cleaning. “1 though it would bhe nice to have it for luncheon and he's going away either tonight or tomorrow,” I said. “1 didn’t mean that he ask- ed for it specially today. RBut he was speaking of it only a day eor two ago, and 1 meant to ask you to make it.” 1 felt better when 1 fi this was the literal truth. stood with her arms akimbo, considered for a minute. “Den I go down now and start heem,” she sail. “While she feex- ing. 1 coom oop und finish Mary's room.” 1 wondered a bit for this never had becn her procedure in prepar- ing the pink pudding, a dish which I always had understood required the constant watchfulness of the cook. But I made no comment, and Katie departed for the kitchen, zo- ing through the double doors which led to her own rooms in the kitchen wing. With an impulse I did not stop to analyze, I hurried out of my door, down the front stairs and back to the kitchen where I pretended to busy myself with the small electric iron and the folding ironing board which we keep for pressing. But it was over five minutes before Katie appeared, although her usual rate of progress from the second floor to the kitchen is measured by sec- onds, Copyright, Feature and 1928, Newspaper Service, Inc. “Zubby gave a little snort of surprise Yes, sir, that queer tail of his was a branch. 8o, (Copyright, 1928, by T.

Disinterest ‘l‘he& Seem Very Indi!fer- ent to Suffrage. BY MINOTT SAUNDERS Paris, Sept. 2¢4.—Having failed completely to get a hearing from any of the delegates who were in Paris for the signing of the Kellogg- Briand treaty, leaders of the inter- national feminist movement battling for an equal rights treaty for wom- en now plan to take their case to the French parliament. They hope in this way to arouse public feeling fn France and to interest a larger number of French women in the cause of suffrage. The difficulty is that the women of France are not very much in- terested in winning the right te vote. The Rambouillet {incident, wherein eight militant feminists— all foreign except one—were arrest- ed for disobeying police orders when they tried to present a petition to President Gaston Doumergue, was treated by the -press as a “light and comic” afflair. There has resulted no widespread demand on the part of French women for what their foreign sisters call “equal rights." Attention “It 1s obvious that any French government discussion of the Ram- bouillet incident, and of our failure to secure cooperation from the men in presenting our treaty, will help our cause greatly,” said Miss Doris Stevens of New York, chairman of the International committee and leader of the Rambouillet charge. international feminists is M. Louis Marin, minister of pensions and parliamentary leader of the Fem- inist bloc in the chamber of deputies He received Miss Stevens, but is un- derstood to have made no promises. The appeal to the French govern- ment on the part of the internation. al feminists before the signing of the ‘peace pact was ignored and all for- eign delegates who were approached by the women to aid them in their struggle for an equal rights treaty refused to consider the question. President Marla Verone of the French league for women's rights has protested vigorously against | what she terms the “highly dis- ! courteous conduct” of the French government for not giving the in- ternationalists a hearing. 8he has also been consulting with the for- eign feminine leaders to formulate a campaign for recognition. “Is it good, is it wise, is it pru. dent,” she asked, “that France make enemies of women who in their re- spective nations have a political in- fluence equal to that of men?" And then Miss Stevens added: “At least the world is acquainted with the fact that women as well as men are desirous of finter. national laws to safeguard their rights.” Favored %y Deputies But the feminist movement in France remains a decidedly minority issue. The chamber of deputies sev- eral times has shown itself favorable to ‘“votes for women,” but such a policy always has found stern oppo- sition in the upper house. During the | last session the senate refused, by a vote of 176 to 123, to consider a mo- tion offered by Benator Louis Mar- tin requiring immediate action on the question. Maurice de Waleffe, well known journalist and leader of fashion, sees a mystery in the unaccountable un- concern of French women about the vote. Writing in the Paris Midi under the heading, “The French woman does not wish to vote,” he declared, “8he Is content to sit back and let the man drive the automobile be- cause she knows that she can con- trol thé driver.” TOMATO SURPRISE A chilled tomato salad that is real- ly a surprise is one filled with very fresh cottage cheese and nuts.

Mrs. Julia Almira Kimball, sponsor of the Exposition of Wom- en's Arts and Industries, has con- tributed an initial fund of $25,000 for the exposition to start a founda- tion to aid middle-aged women who are able, but-unskilled, and there- fore finding difficulty. “One of the biggest problems to- day is unemployment of older wom- en. That is why our organization has started to tackle the subject,” Mrs. Oliver Harriman, chairman of the Exposition, stated. In Many Fieclds “Last spring we formed a Con- tact Group of 126 outstanding busi- ness, professional and home women to consider what should be done to solve the problem. The foundation is the result. “There are thousands of women right here in New York alone, who are capable but never have had any special training. There are mothers whose children are grown. widows and women who always have held menial jobs but feel ca- pable of doing better. “The Contact Group has studied out a course of action! Certain practical vocations have been list- ed that require only short courses of training. These include practi- cal nursing, salesmanship, merchan- dizing, candy-making, specialized housekeeping, tea-room work, ad- vertising selling, and millinery. “Fifteen women will be chosen during the first year from those who apply. College training is not a re. quirement. Applicants need never have worked before, or they have worked all their lives in men- lal positions. The scholarships are open to all women over 40. “These 15 women will be given a six months' practical course, tu- ition paid and expenses paid also, if necessar;, in whatever line of work they seem fitted for. After the® practical courses are complet- ed, the women will be “placed” by a special committee. “The foundation will be increased depending on the success of the first experiment. The contact group of the exposition expects to make a real contribution towards breaking down the prejudice against the hir- ing of older women.” Miss Elizabeth Ogilby, head ofi the Working Women's Protective Union is one of the contact group to take may | an active part in the foundatl plan, y “Maturity should be . an asset,’ she stated. “But the fact that huni dreds of middle-aged women com: to me asking for work proves isn't, Business Demands Youth “The older woman who has n profession or vocational trainin has only fear and lack of confidenc in her heart as she sees the prefer| ence the world has for youth. “If we can train a handful older women who succeed on job after a six months’ course, it wij be a strong entering wedge toward prying open other opportunities fe them. “We are starting in New Yorl but we hope eventually to have n tion-wide experiments.

The newest accessory for evening wear is the glittering diaphanous long coat that slips_over a satin or chiffon sown and is worn on the ballroom floor, after Mialdy has left her velvet wrap in the dressing room. This is the winter's version of the summer's preference— the shimmering short coat for dinner wear. The one shown here is of pale pink and rose paillettes on pink net. Its wide sleeves are very new. The little cap matches the rose shade of the coat. They are worn with a pale pink chiffon frock with uneven hem. Two pendants are better than one, suspended on a necklace of the string-cut crystals.
