Burgess and when you| speak, [ But keep your tongue within your | cheek. | —Impy the Chipmunk. Impy, the black chipmunk, was happy. Impy was working and that | was why he was happy. Nothing makes for greater happiness than work. I know that some of you will have hard work to believe this. You think that play makes for happi- | ness. Play does maks for happiness, but not the kind of happiness that you get from work well done. Ask | Striped Chipmunk if this isn't so. | Ask Impy. Impy had never done -any work before. He had nothing but play. You see, while he was growing up | there was nothing for him to do| but to eat, sleep and play. But, | now that he wanted a home of his | own, he must work to get it, and h was working. | “I want to get a good bedroom,” | said Impy, as he dug and pushed the sand out in a shining heap. Most of that sand had to go out on the surface, you know. He did find | some places where he could pack | sand in around some stones, and | “Yes," sir"” any one else to talk to, “I want a good, comfortable bedroom, and I T want it deep enough in the ground e FIFLENISRALTETTIRONL - 2 he climbed up on a fence post he | e - - & » Y w this black coat and there is nothing | it right away.

Of course, I | have never known a winter yet, but from all I've beentold it is well to | be far enaugh down in the ground to be warm. I may as well bulld it | now as by and by. Besides, I want | it to sleep in. | So when Impy reached the right point, or what he thought was the right point, he began digging a bed- room. It was oval in shape and big enough to accommodate more than | being comfortable. He intended to make a good bed in there and have | plenty of room to turn around, as | the saying is. Once in a while he | would stop outside to rest, for dig- ging is hard work. He would climb | up on the pile of stones or, some- | times up on a fence post. Once as discovered Blacky the Crow sitting | on'the next fence post “Well, well!” exclaimed Blacky. | “Who told you you could wear| black? Black belongs to my family. Where is your striped coat? “I haven't any striped coat,” re- plied Impy. “Black may belong to but it belongs to me, . Old Mother Nature gave me Blacky modded.- “That's right,} said he. “We all have to do WwHat you come Impy nodded and answered the “Btriped Chip- old from the the Crow said he, “Df} The eyes of Blacky the Great Impy's eyves twinkled this time. | ‘That, too, is my business,” said he. | “And I suppose that little pile of | sand over back of those stones is | your business, too,” said Blacky. “However, I won't tell anybody 1about it. No. sir, I won't tell any- body about it. Impy couldn't find a word to say, and stones, | while Blacky the Crow chuckled continued: " STRIPED CHIPMUNK GIVES ADVICE Experience gives sound advice You could not buy at any price —O0ld Mother Nature. Impy, the black Chipmunk, was just completing his bedroom when he was startled by the sound of some one in his long hall. He stopped to n. “Somie one is coming,” thougl Impy. “‘Oh dcar, who can it be? I hope it isn't an enemy. For, if 1t 1 ar. caught. There is no way for me to escape Oh dear, oh dear, I wish 1 had a back door!” And then Impy experienced great relief. His nose brought him that relief. You see, his nose picked up the scent of the one who was com- ing down that long hall. Impy knew it was his father, Striped Chip- munk. Sure enough, a second later| Striped Chipmunk appeared in !hci little bedroom. “So,”. said Striped ‘vou have seen all of the Great World you want to see and are set- | ling down.” | “Yes, replied Impy. “But how | did you find me?” “Oh,” replied Striped Chipmunk, “I had an idea you wouldn't go very far, and so this morning as I had nothing else in particular to do I thought I would look you up. You came farther than I thought vou would, and I might not' have Chipmunk, | the pile of stones outside. You see, 1 have been over here before. When I found the pile of stones it didn't take me long to find the entrance to your home. If Shadow the Weas- el should come along, you wouldn't have a chance in the world. He would find that entrance right away and follow you in here. If you will take my advice you will have a carefully hidden entrance with no telltale sand around it. “That's what I am planning.” said Impy. “If you'll come outside, I'll show you where my entrance is to be.” So they went outside and Impy took Striped Chipmunk over to a hollow log in which was a knothole on the lower side. ‘There,” said Impy, with some pride, “is’ where my entrance is going to be. What do you think of that?" Striped Chipmunk shook his head. | “Don’t Reglstorsq U, 8. Patent Office vou dare flatter me, Mr. Turps.” By C. D. Batchelor “It won't do.” said he. | “Why won't it dd?” demanded | Impy, looking very much surprised. | “Because it would be found right | away,” replied Striped Chipmunk. “Who would find it right away, I'd like to know!” cried Impy. ! “What I mean is” explained Striped Chipmunk, “that, it a cer- tain one of your enemies should come looking for you he would find may not come around this way, but, i he does, | one of the first places he will go | will be inside this hollow log. 1 talking about Shadow the | Weasel. It you should have vyour] entrance here, and Shadow should | come to examine this old log. he naturally would find that opening | right away. It was very clever of you, Impy, to think of this thing, | but it won't do. You must look around for some other place.” “Where would you make it'if you were in my place?” inquired Impy. “That's a question I'm not going to answer,” replied Striped Chip- | ou must find a place for | of advice. Don't leave so much as a telltale grain of sand around it, and see that it is where no.one is likely to look for it. One of the safest doorways I. ever had was| right out in the open where any one | could see it, but no one did see it, because no one thought of looking for it there. One more thing.

For among the numerous factors | that determine whether the head shall be crowned with hair, or with a glossy sheen, heredity stands | toremost. Baldness, or Alopecia, as it is technically known, is but one con- dition, and yet it has a variety of | causes. Skin specialists recognize differ- ent types of baldness and name them accordingly. The most com- mon type is the so-called Alopecia | ‘Premalura, or premature baldness. | A certain amount of baldness is ‘natura]ly associated with advanc- | ing age. Premature baldness, how- | ever, commences in 80 per cent of |the cases before 30. Persons not | nearly bald at 50, are likely to have 'an effgctive hair covering until | they reach old age.

There were not so many attending the Montauk Horse Show as might have been hoped for, but a few of those present made the sight worth while. I noticed that Jane Alcott had a hint of autumn in the draped turban that she wore, off the fore- head with just a bit of hair shoWwing over one ear. Mrs. John V. Bouvier 3rd, whose “Show Me" took a sec- ond, looked every inch the correct horsewoman in a white stock and derby. At the Monmouth County Horse Show at Rumsen, N. J., Country Club, there was no end of smart looking costumes. Mrs. George La Branche, Jr. there with little Sara Jane and Ggorge the Third, wore a white linen frock trimmed with pointed zigzag ‘appliques of colorful striped linen. It had the most novel high V shaped neckline and little caps over the top of the arm. Mary Louise Burke had a stunning black and white printed frock on, with an unusual one-sided neck yoke of sheer fabric. One or two strands of pearls are better than thtee these days. I noticed Mrs. Edwin Stewart 3d, and Mrs. Edward A. Hurd, both in colorful = printed outfits, the former wearing a double strand of medium sized pearls, the latter a single string of graduated ones. Mrs. Guernsey Curran, Jr., al- ways charmingly gowned and an unusually dignified figure for one 87 young, wore the cutest blouse with her jersey suit, a white crepe one with a pointed yoKe ef- fect which extended over the sleeves, giving a drop yoke effect, in five stripes of color in gradu- ated width. White~ jackets and white coats are having a final fling topping sheer frocks these days. Eileen Burden packed two white wosl tardigans and one long polo coat in her Newport trunks. Katherine Tod, whose marriage to Bradley Martin," Jr., is scheduled to take place on Sept. 13, likes white flan- nel coats for her linen and crepe frocks, too. \ Mrs. George Mesta, who had a lively summer Newport and # Saratoga, looked stunning the night she gave a big dinner at her Newport place, The Rocks. for Vice-president Curtis, who was house guest at her home last week-end.
