BROWNIES’ SLEIGHRIDE.
“We must have a sleighride party,’’
said the Brownies.
“Oh. yes," agreed the Gnomes. “We
haven't had one this winter, and it j
will he such fun."
“Let’s have it tonight.” said the
Brownies. “It will he nicer to have it in
the evening when Mr. Moon can follow
us along.”
“That’s right,” said the Gnomes.
“And the little Stars can look down at
us and smile. Their smiles are the
loveliest in the world, we think.”
“Yes.” said the Brownies. “Their
smiles are wonderful. They are so
bright.”
“If you get up the sleighride.” said
the Gnomes, “why can’t we arrange j
the supper?”
“All right.” said the Brownies, “that j
will he splendid, and it’s awfully good j
of you to think of it. To he sure,
after a sleighride we will he ever so
hungry and we’ll enjoy a good supper.”
“How do you know it will he good?"
asked the Gnomes. “We said we’d get
a supper ready. We didn't say a good
supper, you know.” And the Gnomes
laughed.
“But” said the Brownies, “if you get
it up it's sure to be good.”
“You’re very kind.” said the Gnomes.
“Well, we hope it will he good!”
And so as soon as the Moon was
up. the Brownies, dressed in warm
winter woolen clothes, and the Gnomes
in little fur suits, started off.
As they went along the smooth road,
and the hells on their horses jingled
and merrily sang, the Brownies and
Gnomes told stories and laughed and
joked.
They rode ever and ever so far. and
all along the trip Mr. Moon went with
them.
Tntil late they rode, and the horses
seemed to go faster and faster all the
time.
“It’s almost time for supper,” said
the Gnomes.
“Where shall we drive for supper?”
asked the Brownies.
“Ah.” said the Gnomes, “we can have
supper anywhere.”
“What?” asked the Brownies in sur
prise.
“Certainly.” said the Gnomes. “Hid
den under these seats are baskets, and
they are filled with all the goodies we
could think of. There are hot soups,
and hot chocolate to drink in bottles
which always keep warm, and there
are sandwiches and everything you
can think of. We tried to bring a
Mr. Moon Went With Them.
good supper, when you were so kind i
ns to tell us you were sure it would j
he good.”
“Well,” said the Brownies. “To
think that our supper was with us all j
the time and we didn't know it.”
“But you didn’t want it before, did
you?” asked the Gnomes.
“Oh, no,” said the Brownies. “We
are just good and hungry now.”
“Well, let’s start right in.”
So they all sat on the long sleigh ’
where they had been all the evening. '
and they curled up their feet under
them as they sat.
The supper was certainly marvelous. I
and the Brownies said they had known i
the Gnomes could not have anything \
hut a fine one. The Gnomes were so j
pleased with the Brownies’ praise.
The horses turned their heads around |
when the Gnomes and Brownies were
eating, and the Gnomes hopped off the '
sleigh and gave the horses some nice |
hay and lumps of sugar they had ;
brought along. For of course when the !
horses had given them such a wonder- j
ful ride they could not be forgotten '
in the supper.
And Mr. Moon was still overhead in
the sky and watched all the fun. “I
sha'n’t leave,” he said, “until you do.
Miss such fun as this? Never in the
wide, wide world.”
And the little stars kept smiling and
twinkling and said:
“t’p in the sky
“We are so high.
“But down below.
“Over the snow.
“We've watched the ride,
“And have helped as light and ijuide.”
So the sleighing party was a great
success, and before it was over the
Brownies promised they would give
another very soon.

Girl's Companion.
Among the wonderfully varied show

wear, there Is to be discovered this
spring, a line of plain <ilk dresses oi
very simple design. They are of taf
feta or satin or crepe, as unpretentiom
as to trimming as n cotton house dress
Mostly neat effects appear in sucl
adornment as is allowed them, a;
tucks or folds in the goods and plain
hemstitched collars of organdie oj
crepe georgette. They are made it
gray, sand color. Joffre and othei

this siii<. like that of crepe de chine,
is as soft and velvety as a rose petal,
and added to this is its sheerness.
Even pumpkin and orange color are
delicate in it. with sulphur yellow and
the most brilliant rose shades at their
loveliest.

latest arrivals in waists, with orna

ous checks and stripes.
These dresses are just the sort that
the everyday average woman likes to
own, to slip on for dinner at home and
to wear tor all sorts of informal dress.
A very quiet model is t.own in the
picture of gray taffeta, with sleeves of
georgette crepe and hemstitched col
lar of white georgette. The sleeves
have deep cuffs of the taffeta and
when siitin or the softer silks are used,
the entire sleeve is made of the same
material as the dress. The bodice is
plain with diagonal opening at tite
embroidered and bended with silk In
i Joft're blue. The same model, shown
in sand color, is brightened with em
broidery in coral pink. The tiny but
tons used are usually satin covered
and of tile same color as the embroid
ery.
Sleeves continue long; collars open
at the throat and have more or less
of a cape at the back. Some of them
are convertible and there are model9
specially designed for thin women
with satin vest fronts extended into a
narrow panel at the front of a stand

edges and draped about the waist. It
fastens at one side.
The skirt is an excellent pattern for
a slender figure, and all the elabora

found in it. It has a plaited front ;
panel set on to a yoke. The panel
overlaps the fall side pieces that are
tucked near the top and shirred to the
yoke. There is a plaited panel at the ,
back also and the skirt fastens at the ■
left side jf the front panel with snap j
fasteners set under the group of three
buttons.
Nothing quite rivals georgette crepe
for blouses of all kinds. The texture
of tlie material is so exquisite and re

Hemstitching. long sleeves nntl collars
similar to that shown in the picture
are common to till sorts of blouses,
whether tailored or dressy, or made
for all-round wear.
For the most vivid colors, very little
embroidery is used, but little buttons
covered with black satin are used by
the dozens on them.
Guimpes.
Appealing to feminine fancy are
dainty guimpes of plaited silk chif
fon. These come in lovely panel
shades and are trimmed with tiny self
colored or pearl buttons and finished
with hemstitching.
