Ballet Dancer
Faye Evelyn Williams daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. S. Williams and dance
pupil of Miss Grace Abbott, gave
several solo ballet numbers at
dinner of the Business and Profes
sional Women's division of tic Chem*
her of < 'ommerce recently. Jler
dance frock was of bright red tulle
trimmed in ostrich feathers of the
same
French Benuly Compared to
American.
According to Alma Rubens, fea
tured with Lionel Barrymore in Cos
mopolitan's picturization of Vicente
Blasco Ibanez's story. “Enemies of
Women,” the American woman is far
more beautiful of face, form and
even feet than the French woman.
But the French woman is more
beautiful from neck to hips than her
American rival.
According to Miss Rubens. the
French women are gorgeously smart
and possessed of wonderful bodies
from the shoulders to the hips The
body lines suipuss the snipe lines In
our native femininity, and right here
Miss Rubens cites the* reason Our
girls have a modest little habit of
binding in their torsos, fastening,
pulling, pinning—until tluir figures
attain that straight up and down look
of boys’. It is a fashion suited to
the popular sport clothes of the flap
per It is a figure that furnished
a flat, non skid surface for the drap
ping of the sprightly sport scarf.
But — with maturity, it is also re
sponsible for the womanhood too fro
quently larking the most beautiful
curves of the feminine figur- It is
this particular difference between
American and French figures that is
the rub when an American steps into
a French frock, according to Miss
Rubens. It is like encasing the vig
orous boy of the hou*e in ais’s new
georgette gown—wraihy w . inkles
where there should he purring pleats
—'pT^-try on oaf meal.
Many veil trimmed hats ar* shown
by the best French modistes. Medi
um large shapes in brown shades
are draped with black Chantilly lace
veils. The drapery is much elongated
at the sides. Lace veils «re sewed to
round turbans and small cloche shapes,
the veils forming the entire trimming.

Boxer See* the Triplets Again.
By THORNTON \\. B1 BGFSS.
Hay by tin;* learn somethin* new;
Tb'ua v ill wisdom enm<» to you
—Old Moiliei Naim*.
People of the Green Forest and
i he Green Meadow's soon forget
| troubles that are past. Boxer, the
young Bear who had started out into
the Great World for himself, wisely
heeded the warning of Mother Bent
to Keep away from that part of the
Green Forest where her home was,
and not seeing or hearing anything
more of the three little cubs, which,
as you know, were Boxer's little
brother and two little sinters, h*’ soon
forgot all about them.
There was plenty to do, ami as
tho weather grew warmer there were
new and interesting discoveries to
he made every day. Boxer was en
joying life. Now and then he met
his father, great, big Busier Bear.
1 Boxer had the greatest respect for him
end always took care never to offend
him. Altogether, they were on very
good terms.
Boxer was continually finding new
I things to eat. It was great fun to
explore tiie Green Forest. All the
lime ho was growing bigger and
stronger and more and more inde
pendent. And all the timo he was
growing wiser. He sometimes did
foolish things, but when he had mice
learned a lesson ho never forgot it.
Now all this time Mother Beat's
■triplets had been growing and learn
ing. Though still very small, they
were big enough now to follow her
about while sne hunted for food.
Usually they kept close to her heels.
When she wanted to get rid of tliPtn
lor a while she would send them up
a tree and tell them to stay there.
They didn't miss this. t There was
nothing they liked better than climb
ing about in a tree. They used to
have great times together, playing
with each other among the branches.
One day Mother Bear had led them
further from their old home than
usual. She had sent them up ill a
big hemlock tree and then had gone
off a short distance to pull over
okl stumps in search of ants. You
know Mother Bear, like Bears, t*
very fond of ants. The triplets wet*
feeling very full of life that morn
ing and were as lively as only three
little cubs can be. They chased each
other about in the branches of that
Hf*„
l!o\er sat down and watelied them,
and as he nafrhed some of his
old angrr and jealousy re
turned.
I>ig hemlock tree, and did their best
to knock each other off.
Non-, it happened that Boxer ratne
along that nay shortly after the
■ ubs had been sent up In that I re#.
I In had nothing in particular on hie
mind. He was just roaming about.
Ha was atari led by a noise off at
' u» side Instantly he stopped to
listen There nas a great thrashing
about among the branches of a cer
tain log tree. Now and then there
was the snapping of broken twigs,
and dead branches.
Boxer haeouie curious. Very care
fully and silently he stole forward
until he could see up in that tree
learly. Three funny lit I le black
forms were crambling about tip in that
tree. They were having no end of
tun. Boxer recogniz'd them at once.
They were three little cubs whom he
had almost forgotten. Boxer sat down
nd watched them, and as he watched
and watched some of his old anger
and Jealousy returned.
