Love's Awakening By Adele Garrison Madge and Lilian, Are Mary—But They Her Oandition. Mary's hysteria was rapidly ris- ing. I could tell that' from the sounds which came through the thin deor separating her closst from that of her grandmother. There was no time to lose in getting to her and Lillian and I noiselessly took down Mother Graham's gowns from the hooks and laid them carefully upon her bed. I impressed upon my trained memory—my most precious ntal possession—the exact order in which they were hung and hoped ihat my captious mother-in-law might not discover that they had heen disturbed, She attches so much value and dignity to her personal possessions, that I knew if she did suspect our presence she would at once demand the sealing up of the door so that no similar entrance or cxit might ever be attempted. When the door was finally bare. 1 signaled Lillian to stand close behind it, and turning the knob I pushed it open as far as it would go, some ob- ject which 1 gueased was a suitcase, barring its full opening.

She apparently had not heard my cntrance, and with a swift move- nient T plucked the blankets away and disclosed Mary's slender figure racked with great choking sobs, with lier face so flushed and distorted by her keeping it tightly under the bed clothing that it was hardly recog- nizable. Stop This At Once!” I wasted no time in questioning her, Instead, I stooped and taking her by the shoulders dragged her to a sitting position. “Mary, stop this at once,” I com- manded sternly. But the tactics which always sue- ceed with Katie's mild tantrums failed utterly. Mary's only answer was a vacant stare at me, followed by a burst of laughter so raucous that I was afraid it woyld be heard downstairs, although I knew that Katherine could be depended upen to Kkeep the doors of the library :losed. “He's so——funny——. gasped and went off paroxysm of laughter while body shook violently. “Come,” I called softly, and a= Lillian came into the room [ signaled to her to bring e the water carafe which I had seen was half sh> into another her a Steadfast Woman full My friend set it down within leuy reach of my hand, and stepping up to Mary placed her hands beside mine on the girl's shoulders. “You're a better pitcher than 1 am,” she said softly,. “and I have uothing on that will hurt.” The Water Treatment There was 50 much firmness in her voice that I knew there was nothing to do save yield to her dic- tum, so without further protest I let go Mary shoulders and step-! ping back | raised the carafe and dashed some of its contents directly into Mary's face.

Rough- lcg was in the habit of coming every year. He al s thought of the Green Meadows, down back of Farmer Brown's, as his winter home. Usually he fared very well down there. It was seldom that he could not find mice enough to keep him in good condition and very comfortable, But this winter there had be:n one storm after another, and the anow lay deep over the Green Mea- dows. They were very beautiful to look at, were the Green Mecadows, now that they were all pure white, That is, they would have been very beautiful for you or for me to look at, but Roughleg the Hawk could see no beauty to them. No, sir, he could sec no beauty in that snow. “Just as if it isn't hard enough to catch mice anyway,” grumbled Roughleg. as he sat in the top of a tall tree in the middle of the Green Meadows, where he could look in all directions. “Now comes all this snow and buries everything. How can I catch mice when I can't ses them? When there was no snow I could sometimes see then in the grass, and sometimes I could see th: grass move and that would tell me Just where they were. But now they can run abount underneath the snow and I don't know anything about them. Why, Danny Meadow Mouse could live for a week right underneath me here and I wouldn't know anything about jt. I'm so hungry now that it seems as if | am starved. Peter Rabbit is stick- ing te his dear Old Briar-patch ani there jen’t a4 chance in the world tor me to get him there. My, ) would like a Rabbi!

His sharp eyes were busy every second. 1+ hoped might sce a Wood Mouse. He even hoped that e might sce a Squirrel. He didn't forget that Jumper the Hare som. came to the edge of the Green Yorest.

First Great Dressmaker Wore Pants " CHARLES FREDERICK WORTH Parls. Feb. § (F—The first great smaker of the Rue de la Paix e pants, but there are two im- portant women dressmakers for cvery one distinguished masculine style maker today. Monsicur «Charles Frederick Worth, the granddaddy of fashion as it is understood today, would turn in his grave if he realized that |for every Worth, Redfern, Patou, | Docuillet, Paquin laying down the law to modern wortfen there are two Chanels, Lanvins, Jennys, Vionnes. Callots and Louisehoulangers who speak- authoritatively as woman to! woman, Women style makers have one great advantage over men and they are pushing it to the fullest. They | {know’ what their male competitiors | can only Wnagine. They own town houses. country \ houses, automobiles and jewels and {move in socicty. One of the most | famous dressmakers of them all is, said to be the granddaughter of u | shepherdess, | The war is another reason for the | swing of the pendulum toward fem- inine domination of the style b ness. Jteversal of fortunes in the fashionable world, rise of new-rich, youth, unconventionality of idea — al contribute to thelr success, ! There is no more esprit de corps | among the couturiers, than there | was among the couturiers. Love thy | neighbor us thyself is not one of the commandments of the dress- | making world. It is a gossipy one. tull of tittle-tattle and back-talk, When the Duke of Somethingor- others waits interminably day after day in madame's private office, only to be sent away finally because madame, hair in disorder, dress| stuck full of pins. Is 100 busy creat- ing styles to sce him, thousande of midinettes chatier about it. Madame | knows it, but it does her no harm |ana maybe some good. | On the other hand some of the | most successful women dressmakers lare also mothers and homemakern. me of them have grown families, children who have made influential and others have growing ors around them. Still others |are bachelor girls. No nurscries or! | family ties for them. | The highest prices are being | charged by a woman dressmaker. ! | Professional buyers call them “out- rageous” and pull all sorts of trickn | to gain entrance to her salons for la free peek. But she makes them pay for the look xooner or later. Other dressmakers envy her ability | to charge, but none dares equal her | | prices. Queens and their patronage are a {sore point among the fashion mak- ers. Allegiances, cven of royal cus- |tomers, are far from permanent. The queen of Spain, onme of the biggest drawing cards a dressmaker |can boast, recently transferred part |of her trade to a comparatively un- known house, opcrated by & woman. | The grand dames of Spain followed. From such an upset a new meteor may be born and go streaking across the style horizon. ! YOUR HEALTH BY DR.
