WHITE-TAILED DEER.
"Well,” said Mrs. White-Tailed Deer
to Mr. White-Tailed Deer, who was In
the next little house In the zoo, “your
dangerous season has passed."
“What do you mean by that?” asked
Mr. White-Tailed Deer. “Are we not
animals of the dark forests, and do
we not see that there are plenty of
os left because we do not do foolish
and foolhardy things'? We do not put
ourselves in the way of danger.
“We stay off by ourselves and keep
where It is safe. We live near rivers
where few others live and where it is
wild, and because we don't try to be
too sociable there are still lots of us
living.
“It doesn't do to be too sociable, do
you think so?”
“No. I think we're wise.” said Mrs.
White-Tailed Deer. “But then we’re
in the zoo now. It isn’t the free, wild
life, hut at least it is safe. Here we
can be sociable and no one will harm
us.
“The zoo people will not let anyone
hurt us. They will only let people
come to admire our antlers and our
tiue bodies ami our great beauty.”
“That's true,” said Mr. White-Tailed
Deer, “but at the same time we do
gice things for them. We don't like
*ome animals, refuse to let our babies
be boru here. No, we let the babies
come and we show them we're grate
ful to them for their kindness to us
and for their protection.”
“You too have spoken the truth,"
said Mrs. White-Tailed Deer. “We are
rather nice, sensible, pleasant, good
looking animals.”
“What do you mean when you say
we are'rather'nice?” asked Mr. White
Tailed Deer. “We are very nice, aren't
we?”
“Of course,” Said Mrs. White-Tailed
Deer; “I only said we were rather
nice, meaning that we were very nice.”
“Then why didn’t you say what you
meant?” asked Mr. White-Tailed Deer.
“Still cross?” asked Mrs. White
Tailed Deer.
“No,” said Mr. White-Tailed Deer,
“only It seems sensible to say wliat
one means.”
“It does seem that way,” said Mrs.
White-Tailed Deer, “but I forget some
times and put in words I don’t mean
and leave out those 1 do. I didn't
«■ * 1 *1 ■ 1 . 1 ■ 1
"We Can Be Sociable.”
mean to use that word ‘rather’ at all.
It just crept in without being noticed."
“I noticed it.” said Mr. White-Tailed
Deer.
“I didn’t,” said Mrs. White-Tailed
Deer, "or I wight have been aide to
stop it in time."
"Oh, well, it is all straightened up
now," said Mr. White-Tailed Deer.
“Yes," said Mrs. White-Tailed Deer,
“and while I’m a deer and a dear at
the same time 1 can't have everything
my own way and he a speaker too!”
“Oil, gracious," said Mr. White
Tailed Deer, "the very idea of you
cracking that old, old joke about deer
anu dear. But you did say something
that Interested me. Y’ou asked me it
I were still dangerous, didn’t you?”
“No,” said Mrs.” White-Tailed-Deer,
“you have made a mistake too. I said
that your dangerous season had
passed.”
“Ob. well, we've each made a mis
take iu our talk so we’re even thut
way,” said Mr. White-Tailed Deer, “but
pray tell me what you mean when you
say my dangerous season has passed.”
“I mean.'’ said Mrs. White-Tailed
Deer, “that during September and Oc
tober and November you cannot be
trusted, for you are dangerous and are
apt to go at creatures with your thre<
strong, apeurlike antlers and your
great weight pushing you on.”
“Oh, yes, that is so,” said Mr. White
Tailed Deer, “but why speak of the
fact that my dangerous season has
passed so long after the time when it
has passed? It’s well on in the winter
now.”
“Oh, well,” said Mrs. White-Tailed
Deer, “I'm so perfectly sure it has
passed now, you see!”
Better Still.
The postmaster’s boy and the pro
lessors’ boy were playing together. A
question of precedence arose, and the
professor's boy exclaimed, “You ought
to let me go first! My father’s an

“Huh J” replied his companion
“That’s nothing. My father’s a P. M.’

A
LOVE FICTION
By OTILLIA F. PFEIFFER
(Copyright. V*2Q. Western Newnpaper L'nioH>
There was always a pleasant, inter
ested smile on the face of Drury l.nw
rence whenever his fellow clerks
chatted about home, wives, sweet
hearts or love.' He was a quiet, unas
suming young man, and Eric Da we*,
his one close friend, had often noticed
me sympathetic glow in his honest,
earnest eyes, and wondered why It
grew so intense, on the occasions
noted.
Drury was closing his desk late one
afternoon and he and Eric were the
only occupants of the room. A lu ight
hearled young fellow, a new clerk, had
.fust left after showing an engagement
ring to Drury he intended presenting
to his fiancee. Drury listened to his
eulogies of its Intended recipient with
pleased attention.
“You must he a happy man in your
own love affairs to be so ready to ap
preciate that of others." suggested
Erie.
A peculiar expression crossed the
face of Drury. It was serious, yet
tender and expressive. A dreamy, far
away look came into bis eyes as he
said:
I "There has been only one so-called
1 love affair In my life, Eric, and there
will never he another. Do you know
who that Is?” and he produced a pho
tograph from a drawer in the desk.
“Why. it is Miss Lna Vernon ex
1 claimed Eric In unmitigated surprise.
| "You don't mean to say that you are
j interested in that direction?”
“Eminently so.” replied Drury, and
I his tones were fairly reverential. “I
have loved her devotedly for over two
! years. You are my only confidant, so
respect my secret. See!" and he pro
! dueed a packet of letters tied with a
bit of ribbon. “Each month I have
written to her, unfolding my heart, he
j ginning with ‘Dear Miss Vernon’ and
now addressing her as ‘My Soul’s
Treasure.'"
Eric was fairly astounded. This
quiet, unpretentious friend had out
stripped them all ! Miss lna Vernon,
the daughter of the wealthy manufac
turer! In correspondence with her
for two years—she. the proud beauty
of a leading family! The "soul's only
treasure” of a plain, humble office
clerk.
“Then—then you are engaged?" In
sinuated Erie.
"In ray letters.” replied Drury In
puzzling accents of sadness; "in let
ters never sent. I have carried on a
love fiction for tny own hopeless con
solation only. Miss Vernon unknow
ingly took possession of tny heart. I
realized rev yearnings were as those
of a rushlight craving for tlic star. I
was content to love her In secret. I
have never spoken to her. She has
j never read a line of ray letters."
"And you are never going to tell
her,” spoke Eric, with genuine feel
ing; “you. a man worthy of the consid
eration of any woman!”
“If would tie presumptuous. I have
no right to asplrp, to hope," replied
Drury sorrowfully. "Let my dream
ing suffice. She Is of another world
than mine."
Drury recited how. when Miss Vpt
non had lost a pet spaniel, he had re
stored it through the home servants,
refusing to accept the reward ten
dered or to disclose his Identity.
Again, it was he who had been near
at hand when Mr. Vernon, at variance
with some of his mill employees, was
assailed by a mob. Drury saved the
magnate from a shower of dangerous
missiles and then vanished.
Then, too, in seeking an office friend
who was off on a spell of dissipation,
In shielding lilm from a group of gam
blers. Drury bad as well run across
Manfred Vernon, the brother of Ina.
Ills efforts and warnings had signally
turned the footsteps of both the young
men from the downward path.
It wns about two months aftPr the
disclosure to Eric that the latter was
startled by reading In the morning
paper that a young man named Drury
Lawrence, passing the mansion of
John Vernon, had sprung npon n lurk
ing intruder about to place a lighted
bomb within the vestibule, bad flung It
away from the house, but Its explosion
had reached him, lacerating and half
blinding him. lie had been removed
to a hospital, and the article commend
ed his heroism and spoke of the grati
tude of the Vernon family over this
great act of self-sacrifice.
Eric hastened to thp hospital to find
Drury suffering but radiant. He had
! saved Ina and her family! It was
enough! The surgeon said he would
recover both sight and strength In
j time. Eric left the hospital with a
firm resolution In his mind. That
afternoon he called upon Miss Ina
Vernon. True-souled friend that he
j was, he told her all and placed In her
hands the beautiful love letters Drury
I had written. Eric, too, told her of
| his hidden acts of devotion In behalf
j of her father and brother.
He had only to watch the lovely
face of Ina Vernon to know that the
revelation Influenced every sentiment
of girlish sympathy and Interest.
From that time forward eveyy day Ina
visited Drury at the hospital. One
afternoon she came up to Eric as she
left the cot»where Drury lay. She
took b!s hand In a tremulous grasp.
‘ Mi Dawes.” she whispered, blush
Ing, but earnest, “will you take a mes
sage to our brave friend for me?
Tell him.” and her sweet voice bore
he thrill of the dullest emotion, “tel*
hiui to get we.l—fc.' uiy sake!”
LINES SUIT FACE
Late French Hats Are Modeled
to Adorn the Wearer.
Feather*, Velvet and Ribbon* Ar«
Deftly Arranged to Afford Moat
Becoming Headgear.
The late French hats for winter are
practically a collection of lines—Hues
elusive and obscure, lines impossible
und strange, lines pure anil girlish, but
alwuys the lines that suit the face they
are built to accompany.
This may sound easy, but it isn’t.
It takes an artist to construct a hat
of the proper lines which will look
smart and trim. But the French, when
it comes to huts, are the leaders of
the world. A French milliner takes a
small piece of velvet, and lo! before
your very eyes she has produced a
hat which is the joy of all beholders.
The prettiest French hats one can
take Into her hand and crush into a
round ball. There seems to he no
frame ami no foundation, and yet they
are perfect frames for the faces they
adorn. Ostrich feathers of all sorts
have a fascinating way of curling over
the ears and necks of their wearers.
The hats are black or of very dark
colors and the feathers are bright.
Many variations of the Tam o' Shan
ter are shown by th« French modistes.
They are large or small, trimmed or
untrimmed, for sport or for dress, but
at any rate the Tam o’ Shunter in one
form or another seems to he an India
pensable part of the hat equipment of
1920. They are made of velvet or of
hatter's plush or of tiny ribbons
1 shirred and sewed round and round,
and they are In solid colors when they
| are smartest.
Feather and coque turbans are dis
tinctly good and these come in many
daring colors, worn usually with no
trimming but with an exquisite lace
veil. The veil Is more an ornament
for the hat than a protection for the
face. »
Picture hats, wide and spreading
for wear with the old-fashioned
French costumes unit with those that
follow the Spanish Influence. These
are made of hatter’s plush or of vel
vet, beautifully sewn: and their rather
high crowns arc* niHile soft enough to
fit over the head. Sometimes there Is
a suggestion of trimming about them,
hilt more often they have on incon
spicuous band of ribbon.
There Is a popular turban of ma
line made over a sparkling inetal bro
caded hand. It Is Simply a puff of the
tulle with the color of the band show
lng through around the headsir.e. and
then a puff of the tulle droops over
the right ear.
WORK SYSTEMS TO BLAME|
Manufacturers Feel That Increased
Cost Is Due to the Week
Work Scheme.
There Ik now a feeling among worn ,
en's garment manufacturers that the
factor of increased cost, due to the es
tablishment of the week-work In place
of the piece-work system, may play
a more Important part In high prices
than It was realized. This point has
occurred to some of the leaders In the
trade who have not been entirely sat
isfied that the cost of raw material
and other Items was alone at the ba
sis of values. Accustomed to piece
work prices, which enabled them to
know with the best accuracy just what
} production cost them, some of the
manufacturers. It is explained, may
have added unconsciously to their prof
its when dealing with the new sys
tem that does not show rosts so easily
and correctly.
CRETONNE HAT FOR SPRING
I
A facing of turquoiee blue silk and
field flowers encircle the crown of this
charming broad brimmed cretonne hat
designed for spring wear.
Gems Liven Black Gowns.
Emeralds are used as a foil for a
black lace gown when emerald silk
lines the folded bow ends on flip soft
crushed girdle Hnd sash, and for one
notable costume an emerald facing
Is used on the black lace hat. Col
ored gems are favored for use with
the all-black costumes generally, but
Jewels of pearl and diamond-set plati
num make a most effective accom
paniment for a black tulle gown, hav
ing an underdress of creamy white.
With such a costume a long diamond
chain finished with pearl-mounted pen
dant and used with pearl earrings car
ries out the long, graceful lines of
one of the new soft hanging tunics.
Dignity Is added to an all-black cos
tume by the use of a diamond and
onyx collarette.
The New Coat.
The newest French coats are cut on
the simplest jmssible lines, without
belts, and hanging straight, the sil
houette narrowing slightly at the bot
tom.

| CHINESE CHILDREN
BARRED FROM WHITE
SCHOOLS IN MISSISSIPPI
(By Associated Negro PresB.)
Jackson. Miss.—Attorney General
Prank Robertsjn of this state has
ruled that Chinese children in Missi
ssippi cannot attend school with
white children. If they desire to at
tend public school they will be com
pelled to atteml schools established
for colored children. This puts a
new curve in the well-kown color
line and is getting considerable com
ment throughout the state as well as
other sections of the south.
There are a number of white who
have great fears throughout the
country of such ruling because of the
effect it will have on the “colored"
peoples, throughout the world, par
ticularly, during the recent years of
preaching democracy, justice and hu
man rights. The Japanese, Mexicans,
Philippines, and inhabitants of India
and other sections of the world are
concerned in the effect of this phase
of autocracy.
