Madge As the voices of Dicky and Edith Fairfax in their astounding colloquy came to my ears, I felt the primitive impulse to dash into the adjoining room and demand an explanation of the gift which Edith was protesting, and which he had told her made Ber “look like a million dollars.” Jewels of course—that was indi- cated by Dicky's gibing reassur- rance—"It isn’t as if they were real, you know.” I wondered wearily how long it had been since Dicky had made me a gift of' the exquisitely fashioned “new” jewelry which he admires inordinately. “There! Look at yourself!™ I guessed that he had swung her around facing a mirror. “Aren’t you the spiffy looking dame, though? You haven't the heart to hand ‘em Vack after you've lamped yourself in 'em, have you?” It was an impossible situation, with Dicky and Edith ignorant of our presence, and with every word they uttered audible to us. Only Harry Underwood could have saved it, and with cbasacteristic audacity he sent out a youd ‘*‘Hello! there!” as he strode to the door hetween the two rooms and threw it open. “Aha! the jools,” he said pointing melodramatically at Edith who was looking at her hedecked reflection in the mirror. From her ear d: pended exquisitely shaped dark blue stones beautifully set, while around her meck was a chajn of the same stones. Her eyes met mine in the minvar. and for a quick instant 1 ®aw a hostile defiant glare in them. | ‘Then she turned ‘round with a cool little smile upon her li Harry Underwood continued giving neither her nor Dicky a chance for speech. “I've been telling Madge you were a second story worker in your odd hours,” he said, “but I had no idca you were having such rich hauls. Now my hucko hoy, you diviy with me, instead of lavishing the spoil upon your partner,—what's your lay in this, Ede? Does he put you through the pantry window so you can unlock the doer for him?" Dicky Is Unruffied I had turned my eyes from Edith's face to Dicky's, expecting to find some sign of confusion upon it. Harry Underwood’'s gibing was of course meant to give him time to think up some excuse which weuld “save face” Chinese fashion. But I do not think even Harry expected to see Dicky's face absolutely un- ruffied, even smiling, as if he were enjoying some secret joke with him- gelf. “Well’ this is some party!" he said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world for a man's wife to walk into his office and find him bestowing jewels, even imitation ones, upon another woman, ‘“Come on in, and sit down. What can we do for you today? Would you like to subscribe to our magazine?" Did he mean to ignore the incl- dent of the jewels altogether? It seemed s0 as he set chairs for us, and grinned impudently at Harry Underwood. But I noticed that his cyes did not once mect mine. “We have a magazine alrcady,” Mr. Underwood informed him. “We simply dropped in to sece if you cared to have a seat in our com- modious bus going home. You said to telephone you, but we decided to give you the light of our faces in- stead “That's so p\«m‘t of you,” Dicky returned with a grin. “Why yes, T guess 1 can go out with yo He hesitated ever so slightly, and then shot a quick furtive glance at me, T guessed what he wanted, and from somewhere pumped up the courage to turn to Edith with the words which I knew would save the situation most quickly. “Can’t you come out with too, Ede?" 1 asked cordially.

In other words, she dearly loves to hunt. It isn't that she needs them or wants them for food. It is for the pleasure of huntig.g them, Now, In winter, when the snow is on the ground, there is very little hunting for Black Pussy, excepting in Farmer Brown's barn. So she goes out to Farmer Brown's barn every day to hunt for mice ar young rats. She isn't so eager for full grown rats. Both rats and mice are almost always to be found in al- most any barn. That is because there is always food there in the ‘way of grain. and because there are s0 many hiding places. It was the day after the big storm that Black Pussy went over | to the barn. There was no other place to go. She entered the bagn through the little swinging door that had been provided for her. Once inside, she moved softly to- ward the grain hin. She had learned | that there was where she would | most likely see a mouse or a young rat. Sura enough, there, close to t grain bin, was a young rat, very | husy eating a little grain that had | heen spilled. Close by was a hole. | He was too near that hole for | Tlack Pussy to make a rush, \-m\ any chance of catching him. She! would have fo steal up on him. ’ 8o, crouching close to the floor, Black Pussy stole forward very, very slowly and very, very carefully. Only when the young rat’s head was turned the other way did' she nmu» and then only for a step. Her ,-.-nm. eyes glowed wiih cagerness. Little by little, little by little, she crept nearer and n .

Then, gradually, she | drew her hind feet under her and prepared to spring. Just as she w going to spring that rat disappeare Yes, slr, that young rat disappeared! He disanpeared right up in the dusk of the upper part of {he bharn. Tilack Pussy was so astonished that | for a moment or two she didn't move. She simply stared up, as if she couldn't helicve what she sa What she saw was the shadowy on line of a hird and, hanging helow it, was the young rat she had heen so sure of. Tt had been faken from right under her very nose. Then hird and rat disappearcd above the rafters. Of course, you have gucssed who had taken that young rat from al- most under the nose of Black Pussy the Cat. Tt was Spooky the Sercech Owl, who had been driven into the barn during the storm a fe vs Lefore and now was making himself at home there.

FLAP_EER FANNY SAY No matter [ heau arrives it's past young lers fied time, BY JEAN PATOU For NEA Service Paris, Jan. 23.—He who would ever attempt to change anything in the composition of what is known as winter sports clothes would be taking a very risky step. These are clothes that have survived many decades of variations in wom- en’s attire for the good reason that they are eminently suitable for the use made of them. Those people who at different times have at- tempted to ignore the recognized theme have found themselves cov- ered with ridicule. In the first place it is inadmis- sible that anyone should sce the need of placing any trimming on a costume that not only requires none but would prove to be con- siderablely hampered by it. The perfect skiing outfit in my opinion is that which allows a woman per- fect frecdom of movement and also enables her to cover or uncover herself at will. That is a reason why I prefer to the sweater fitting close to the neck with a roll collar that which can be worn open or closed. Any woman who knews anything about skiing in Europe will admit that one never suffers from cold. To bear this statement out, T would cite those youths who, at such altitudes as 10,000 feet, go skiing without feeling any the worse for it. The “Why” of Jackets A point to be remembered when contemplating winter sports clothes is that woolens such as a sweater retain the snow, therefore the mois- ture, and the ideal snow suit is consequently one made of closely woven and waterproof material. It is for this very reason that the jackbt figures as an integral part of the outfit it would be quite an un- necessary item in fine weather, its role being purcly a protective one. Originality or fantasy permitted in skiing ensembles are restricted to the designs on sweaters, cap and scarf, provided always that they are artistic and in good taste. Any color, however loud, passes muster on the snow, but beware of too indulgent a mixture of loud tones. Anyhow, why risk looking ridicu- lous by the use of too wide a range in three or four different shades gives such charmingly decorative results? A habit which T deplore in many women skiiers is that of removing Club Women Planning Anti-War Meetings Oshkosh, Wis., n. 23, (A—Be- lieving that any treaties made by governments will he easier kept if the women of different countries understand each other, the General Federation of Women's Clubs is Mrs. Ben Hooper. planning a serics of conferencés he- tween American club women and those of Central and South Amer- ica.

(#—A Chicago society woman has unlatched the door of musical fame for two Cali- fornia lads scarcely old enough to hold a violin in their arms. Ruggiero Riccl, the eight-year-old protege of Mrs. Frederick H. Bart- | lett, was acclaimed as another Heifitz by critics who heard his debut on a 8an Francisco concert platform. At six years of age Rug- glero's brothér, Giorgio, won a| scholarship — after he had studled the vioiin seven months. A letter from a relative told Mrs. Bartlett of the Riccl brothers. Louis Persinger, himself a violin teacher, said their parents were too poor to permit them to develop a precocious talent. Mrs. Bartlett determined to aid them. 8he rented a cottage in Berkeley, Cal. A housekeeper and governess were hired tp care for the hoys. Tutors and violin teachers were en- gaged. Twice before his concert debut Ruggicro won the Oscar Weir me- | morial scholarship for gifted and | talented students. His technique on a $35 violin brought a unani- mous vote of praise from Pacific coast critics. Giorgio won the Emporium Achievement club's -con- | test and a scholarship in his first | public appearance. French Women Fight To Play Pelote Game Paris, Jan. 23.
