But no member of her household ever Fas the temerity to take her at her | word, snd I knew that Katherine | and Mary would accept Mr. Under- wood's invitation with apparent cag- erness, and thus leave Lillian and me undisturbed for the interview that I saw my friend wished with]| me. She went straight to the point as ®soon as we were safely her room ‘with the deor locked. “Madge, you're all drlmflm: ahout this stunt of Dicky she said scathingly as she laid her gift and Marion’s on her dresser. ‘Here, lct me take these pesky things before you throw them out of the window.” ‘The Obtuse Male 1 handed them to her, and she gave a slow, soft whistle as she looked at them. “As T live, jade color,” she said. *] 4idn’t get a good chance to lamp them before.

He hasn’t the slightest idea whether you believe him or not. Of course he'd like to see you jealous but he knows that a stunt like that in the studio, if it weren't explained satisfactorily, would give him a little more the green-eved commodity than would he health- ful. Hence the camouflag: “And still you say.” wondcringly. “That you're all dripping about this stant,” she repeated. “Of course vou are.

For a while there was better hunting than there was outside. You see, there were many mice and many rats in Farmer Brown's barn, and rats and mice are the favorite food of the Owl family. So take it all in all, Bpooky was spending the most comfortable winter that he could Tecall. Spooky hadn’t lived in that barn & very great while before he knew all about it. He knew just where he was most likely to find a dinner when he was hungry. He knew that the grain bin was a continual temptation to the rats and mice. The big rats he let alone, but the small | and half-grown rats he caught ‘whenever he could. Once in a while, Farmer Brown or Farmer Brown's Boy would be careless and leave the 114 of the grain bin up. If it were left wp any length of time at all, & moeuse or a rat was pretty sure to @ot inside. Spooky had discovered this. 80 he used to perch up on a zafter in the roof, from which he sould look down into that grain bin. It happened one morning that Farmer Brown’s Boy was in a great hurry when he fed the horses and the cows. He fully intended to close the lid of the grain bin, but he didn’t do it. He forgot it. He went Oft and left it open, It wasn't a great while before a venturesome | young rat was inside that grain bin. | Spooky saw the young rat go in.| Bpooky shifted his position and leaned over, so that he could sec better. There was the young rat in| @ corner of the grain bin, stuffing himself. Spooky was tempted. Spooky was sorely temptcd. “I can drop right down in that | Place, pick that young rat right out | ot it, and get out myseclf without a | bit of trouble. I don't believe there | is any danger there at all,” though bt | 8pooky, Still he hesitated. You sce, he! was a little suspicious of that grain bin. He hud seen rats and mice go | in and out of it and nothing hap- | pened to them. But he had also seen | it opened and closed by Farmer | Brown and Farmer Brown's Boy. | And anything that could be opened and closed must be regarded with | suspicion. S0 now, two or threc| times Spooky leaned forward as if 1o | fly down, and then drew back. He Jusst didn't quite dare to do it. | By this time there was another young rat in the grain hin.

It scared Spooky almosts out of his wits and at the same time made him a prisoner, It was dark, of course. Spooky didn’t mind the darkness, but it did fright- en him to be a prisoner. When he tried to fly up, all he could do was to bump against the lid of that grain bin, Spooky had been frightened more than once in his life, but never had he had quite such a fright as this. He was so frightened that he actu- ally forgot the young rat he had caught. And when Spciky the Screech Owl has caught a rat or a mouse and forgets it, you may know indecd. He imagined all sorts of dreadfn! things. He wondered what Farmer Brown's Boy or Farmer Brown would do to him, for he knew that one of them would be sure to find him there. Altogether, it was a most forlorn little Screech Owl that cowered down in a corner of the big |grain bin. Copyright 1929 by T. W.

One of the most interesting developments of the snsemble idea is the way it has in- trigued women into purchasing sev- cral coats cach season, It used to be that a woman of |good taste knew she needed per- haps two daytime coats and an cve- ! ning one for winter, besides her suits, Now women know that they can create stunning ensembles by add- ing just the right type of coat to a frock they have and thercfore they feel the need of almost as many s as focks, his change greatly improves the smartness of women when they are | shopping, attending matinees, teaing or in all places where their outer garments show. Perhaps this one thing has done more than any oth- er to make our Fifth avenue and Park avenue fashion parades, spring Coats Afford Varicty The spring season is even more |interesting from a coat point of |view than winter. For often win- |ter coats are so lavishly fur trim- [ med that it is difficult for a woman to have as many as she would like. Spring coats, on the other han: are of thinner fabric and can be styled more like a fock. One feels she must have several to look her smartest, The first coat one buys for spring, however, should he of some smartly simple line, of a color that goes well with many things and of a cut of which one does mnot tire, Following these dictates, a wom- an can fecl perfectly groomed in- definitely while she shops with ex- cecding care for this coat or that 10 malke up some ensemble she wish Grey and heige shades I ad as the most satisfactory as the basic colors for one's first wspring coat. One's coloring will decide Detw the two. If you can wear grey, it is an admirable choice this spring, | for greens and bright blues are good | and they both go nicely with grey. Morcover, the grey ensemble When matched perfectly defies anything arth to be smarter. Tweed coats are excellent, cially when they incorporate into their fine patterns flecks of color that onc can use to match up hats, and other acccssories. One French tweed coat I would like to mention is a beige shade with a border of softly striped blue, orange and beige that is used for a narrow rolled collar and very narrow little cuffs, This coat ties shut and has some | fullness gathered into its belt across | the back. The belt starts al the| pocket on one side and yubs around | to where the front pane ties it shut | on the other. The one-sided effect of ties and pocket is excellent, It °s | a very chic coat, epecially for the! young, slim figure, And the Hat That Goes With It— Worn with this is a beige balli- buntl hat, with grosgrain pipings | and little bow of blue. Another coat that is a good first choice is one of mauve grey light- weight velour, with siot seaming, espe- astrakan collar of infinite grace and becomingness, This coat is cut slightly flared and has a diagonal closing. Its cufi lot scamed three times for a de, ation and the same scaming stripes the front and back of the waist por~ tion, cutting square corners to mark off a natural waistline. When the | astrakan collar is removed, a very | narrow rolling collar of the material is revealed. Appropriate for wear with this | feminine looking coat is a soft felt | hat of matching grey, lined with | | white straw and decorated with a| {littic grey ostrich curl right in font.
