But there was not the slightest use of dissembling wih tnese two old friends of ours, wno knew every fact of our lives, as we did theirs. Fdith's Role It was perhaps half an hour later that we emerged from the tunnel and were only a few minutes’ run from the offices of the art magazine which Dicky had taken over through a desire to protect the in- vestments of his friends. I (fully recognised and gave due credit to the remarkable work of Edith Fair- 1i who, developing an unsuspected strain of business acumen, had transformed the almost defunct periadical into & paying proposition. But the fact that she was a part- ner with my husband in this enter- prise and that their association nec- The H-rt Story Studfnt Wa-n By Adele Garrison ‘ essarily was a close and almost daily one, had made me wish fre- quently that Dicky had taken his less and never tried to put the mag- azine on a paying basis. Lillian spoke abruptly when we had threaded the busy traffic lanes lcading from the tunnel. “I'm terribly thirsty, Harry,” she said, “and I'm sure Madge is, too. Stop and get us a soda at the next | clean-looking place, that's a dear.” Camoufiage T opened my mouth to protest that T wished nothing, then closed it again, for 1 guessed suddenly |that the request was camou’lage. Lillian does not care for sodas or- dinarily, but T knew that Mr. Un- derwood in getting them would be absent from the car for several | minutes, thus giving her an oppor- ;mmiy to speak to me unheard by him. “Haul you out the whole foun- tain,” Harry sald, and when three blocks farther on he drew up the | car and went into a drug store Lil- |lian turned to me and asked | anxiously. “Sure you Want to do this, girl T knew what she meant, knew | her theory that T should not yield to Dicky in the unreasonable demands he often made. But in this partie- | ular instance my consclence was | troubling me. I really had been rather cavalier in the matter of this invitation, and I felt that T must make amends by seeing Edith per- sonally and urging her to come to | us. “I'm sure T must do it” T told her, smiling, but she evidently in- terpreted my tone aright, for she merely said, “That's that, then” |and spoke no more until we drew {up in front of the building in which the offices of the art magazine are | housed.

True bravery will ever try, And struggle on with courage high. —Old Mother Nature Spooky the Screech Owl was liv- ing in the Old Orchard. You know, he had lived in the Old Orchard for a long time. There was a cer- tuin apple tree with a nice com- tortable hollow in it, which 8pooky called his own. Farmer Brown's lloy knew all about Spooky and that hollow. Bo when the trees were being trimmed and holes filled, Farmer Brown's Boy would not touch that hollow. Of course, you know that Spooky, | like other members of his family, huntg at night. Sometimes, on a dark, gloomy day, he starts out hunting in the middle of the after- noon. This is especially true when food is scarce and it takes a great | deal of hunting in order to get enough to eat. This is what Spooky had done on the day when one of the worst storms of the winter started, He had had no luck and he had flown farther than usual in his search for a stray mouse, or an un- ‘wary small bird. 80 he was somec little distance from home when the storm started. At first he didn‘t mind the snow, but presently he discovered that Rough Brother North Wind was blowing so hard that it was difficult to fly and the snow was rather blinding. It was high time for him to be back home. He started. He had to fly right into | the wind and, presently, he real- ized that he was making very little progress. Rough Brother Nortn ‘Wind blew him off his course. In spite of all he could do he could not reach the Old Orchard. Yet he must reach it. At least, that is what he thought. You sce, he didn’t think of any other shelter where he could stay until the storm was over. The snow grew thicker and thick- “er. Presently, 8pooky couldn't tell where he was at all. All he could do was to guess as 1o his direction | and beat and beat with his wings, and hope that he was heading for the Old Orchard. Sometimes Rough .Brother North Wind would let up blowing for a few minutes Spooky would gain a little, Then Rough Brother North Wind would howl and roar and blow again, and poor Spooky would be blown off his | course. At last it seemed to Spooky that' he couldn’t fly another minute. “I'll just have to give up,” he said to himself, “I'll just nave to give up. T cannot face this storm any long- er. 1 guess thvu will be the end of poor little me." It was just then that he saw something hiz thremgh the blinding | «now. He c n't make out what it was, hut there wag some object just #head of him. Perhaps he could | find shelter behind it. Ro, with new courage. he beat his way toward it. It was Farmer Brown's barn. Yes, «ir, it was Farmer Brown's barn. Rough Brother North Wind was howling and twisting around that barn and it was all Spooky could do to keep from being dashed against it. At the time he didn't recognize it as Farmer DBrown's barn, “I'll try to get around on other side and perbaps T can find shelter there,” sald Spooky to him- and | | At first he didn’t mird the snow didn’t know where he was at first, but he didn't care. You see, he was where Kough Brother North Wind | could no longer reach him. He was out of the binding, driving snow. It was comparatively warm and comfortable in there. Spooky was inside Farmer Brown's barn. Once Farmer Brown's Boy had kept pigeons there and the hole by which Spooky had entered was one of the entrances which had been cut for the pigeons.

LAPPER FANNY: o~ By HENRI BENDEL For NEA Service New York, Jan. 21—If one doubls that fashions have entirely changed in line and feeling, & glance at any collection of party dresses will be most convincing. ‘Where ju the “simple little eve- ning frock” that was to be seen by the dozens even six months ago? By that I mean those frocks that were more or less perfectly plain, straight Uine, witheut adornment. - Such frocks are not to be found today. Every party dress contrib. utes something individual in its cut, trimming neckline, waist treatment or in some other way presents a change from the very simple. Studied simplicity there still l:i and always will be where wome: of taste are concerned. But sim- plicity in dress teday is really the most disarming kind of sophisti- cated planning. Distinctive T Among the characteristics that distinguish new party frocks from old are such things as much greater length, trains—especially on the side skirt fullnesd, distinctive necklines, girdles and sashes and new mater- {als that are royally gorgeous. Pompadour taffetas are armiong the most popular of new party gown fabrics. Faille taffetas are excellent also, finely printed chiffon, hrocades, chiffons in rich plain colors, nets, tulle, spangled point d'esprit, and lsce. Very new and charming for the very young matron or girl is a black faille taffeta, lightened by Chinese red. Tts bodice is tight, its girdle swathing to the hiflines and its bouftant skirt tralls to form a fan train in the back. This skirt has scalloped edg®s and, since it is lined with the Chinese red taffeta, is charming when its wearer dances, Two things contribute youth to this gown. There is a stunning bow Frocks Convince One of Change lnFabrn.CutdeanheyAnNew of Chinese red taffeta, with tlve' trailing reunded endf placed at the center back walstline. This bow has its ends spread like & fan and ap- pliqued right into the dvess, with u pattern of gold beads spreading from it inte the dress. The neck- line is its second new touch, a novelty V neck, with gold beaded shoulder straps. Prints For informal occasions prin chiffons are excellent this year. In a black and red printed little dress we have several new notes. The bodice is the popular surplice but the skirt has an organ pleated over- skirt that gives excessive fullness. It is posed en the bodice to give a swathed back hipline and nearly reaches the floor in the back. A side train gown' comes from Worth bringing individual touches to prove the supremacy of the new style over the old. Its fabric is a bright blue metal cloth embroidered in allver. It has a sweet little nar- row yoke of pearis and sapphires, lingérle shoulder straps also of pearls and sapphires and a hand- some ornament of pearls, sapphire. and tassels of matching silk catches the side train at the low left hip. line. This train flares, in circular manner to give a fan train of some width and two to threc feet on the floor.
