There nre roido members of the
younger set who bnlk at the longer
skirt nnd, occntlonnlly, a willful mnld
puts her foot down considerably inoro
than six Inches below the hem of her
garment, which the arbiters of fashion
allow. We are forced to concede tlit
the shorter skirt Is more youthful and
a little more convenient than Its suc
cessor, which has got down to within
four Inches of the lloor. Accommodat
ing manufacturers of dresses leave
them with hems only basted In; thus
they throw the responsibility for the
bhort skirt upon the Individual.
Fashion does not lountennnce It.
In the Illustration herewith two after
noon frocks, In all but their length,
have accepted the dictates of the mode
In n graceful manner. The dress at
the left, of canton crepe, Is very hand
somely embroidered with small bends.
It Is open at the front from the low
neckline to the hem, revealing a satin
slip worn under It. An uneven hem
line Is trimmed Into points, making It
longer than the slip nt the side and
shorter at the front and bnck. The
neck Is embroidered by a bead em
broidery nnd the satin slip forms a
plain chemisette at the front where a
sequence of live buttons, tliut corre
spond with tho bend trimming, fasten
under the loops of crepe, Tho sleeves
nro long, with a slight, pointed flnro
nnd the girdle is mnde of tho crepo
slipped through handsome metal slides.
The model Is dignified and with a
longer skirt would bo well suited to
older women.

WASP AND MAHALIA
Muhalla was visiting at a farm and
what a good time she was having.
"I've Just seen
everything," she
said. "I've seen
the cows milked
and Vve seen the
chickens and hens
and roosters nnd
pigs fed.
"I've seen tho
ducks and the
gees e u n d the
pigeons fed too,
and I've seen the
horses fed nlso.
"I've seen tho
loveliest Minscts
and I've even
seen old Mr. Sun
arise on some of
thesu mornings1.
"The mornings
"Palls of
ries."
Ber-
I hmen't seen him arise It has been
my fault and not the fault of Mr.
Sun I
"I've seen all sorts of birds and I've
seen wild rabbits and tame ones.
"I've seen Held mice nnd squir
rels, elilpmiijiks and woodchucks and
skunks.
"It doesn't seem to me that there
Is anything I haven't seen. And oh,
I've seen the mill; so bubbling and
warm and pleaMint Just alter the
cows have given It.
"The country Is certainly a wonder
ful place In which to see n great,
great deal.
"And even though there aren't so
many people In the country there are
so many more animals and so many
Interesting things to watch which ono
can never see anywhere else.
"I've seen the corn grow and the
hay and I've seen them gather In the
hay and I've ridden on a great hay
wagon.
"I've seen the different crops of veg
etables and I've seen tlin homes of so
many creatures.
"Tho old beaver's home nearby I've
seen. In fact, It Is a beavers' colony,
but one old beaver seems to be the
grandpa of all."
Now Mahalla was talking all the
time of what she had seen and of
what she was going to see, and the
fun to be had on a I'nrin.
In fact, she talked of nothing else
but of the delights of farm life.
Especially, did she enjoy being
neighbors, as It Were, with so
many of the animals, getting to know
their ways and their habits and their
Ideas about marketing and work and
play.
She had never hud so good u tlino
In nil her life ns she had had on the
farm, and she found new and wouder
fill things to do all the tune.
Often she would go out with the
other children and they would gather
palls of berries. Soon now It would
be time for nuts for Mahalla had
been promised one nut-gathering party
beforo she had to go home.
Now a little wasp had been In a
very had temper of late. In fact, all
of his family were cross, and to belong
to a cross family Is anything but nice.
Mnhalla belonged to such a happy,
cheerful family that she couldn't have
understood n wasp finally nt all,
In Muhalla's family they believed In
laughing with each other and In hnv
Ing fun right In the family, and they
believed In praising each other, too.
Rut this little wasp was mad.
In the llrst place the whole family
boasted of how many people they had
fctung of late, and bow mean they hnd
been and they were very scornful of
the llttlo wasp who had felt menu, but
who had not been able to do much
stinging, for somehow people hnd cs
enped him.
He hnd been brushed nsldo nnd It
had made him mnd. His family had
been brushed
aside, nnd that
had mndo them
m n d, to o, b u t
they hnd Insisted
upon stinging tho
p e o p I o to pny
them back for
brushing the in
aside.
Thnt wns the
renl wnsp wny.
Tho more they
were shoved or
brushed nslde',
tho more they'd
como back and
sting, but the lit

heard Mahalla talking of all she hnd
seen, he said to himself In his menu
little wnsp wny:
"I'll keep her from seeing so well
for u time, and so she will know of
my Importance. I'm only little, but I'm
powerful and 1 can sting. I can mako
people run, too.
"People nro afraid of mo! I have
been lazy lately. That has been tho
trouble. Thnt Iiiih been why my fam
ily havo had so much more luck."

THE union of Nature, Science and the Farmer is a part
nership for life.
In the golden sheaves of living wheat, and in the wav
ing, shimmering fields of barley Nature stores the vital
elements of human power and energy which Science con
verts into Grape-Nuts the famous body-building food.
Grape-Nuts with milk or cream is a complete food, which
contains all the nutrition (including the mineral elements)
required for making rich, red blood, and for building sturdy
body tissue, sound bone structure and strong, healthy
nerve cells.
The 20-hour baking process makes Grape-Nuts easy to
digest und develops that delicious, sweet flavor and crisp
ness that has made this food a favorite the world over.
