Mr. Blacksnake Goes Hunting.
Mr. Blacksnake lay sunning- himself
en a grassy bank. He waa a hand
some fellow, -wan Mr, Blacksnake, and
he was quite well aware of It. In fact,
Hr.Blackana.ke waa quite fcrond of
himself. He waa proud not only of
his good looks, but alo of the fact that
few 'can. run faster than he, that he
can climb trees, and that, there .are
more who are afraid of him than that
he is afraid of. The fact that nobody
likes him didn't enter hla head, but if It
had it wouldn't have troubled him
The truth is, Mr. Blacksnake la a good
deal of a bully. , He dellghta In scaring
people. There ia nothing he likes bet""
ter than to see them afraid of him.
He ia the most impudent of all the
little people who live on the Green
Meadows or In the Green Forest. He
runs his tongue out at every n he
meets, even Farmer Brown'a boy. But
; really he la a great coward.
Just now, aa be took his aun bath,
Mr. Blacksnake waa trying to ydecfde
what he wanted for dinner. This waa
the time of year when ha could pick
and choose. Later in the season he
would have to take whatever he could
catch, but lust, now it waa an easy
matter to catch what he pleased.
"Let me see," said he. "I might
run over to the Smiling Pool and pick
up a few of those foolish young Frogs
' who are so conceited because they have
got rid of their tails: They would
taste very good,- Very good, Indeed.
But it 1? a long way oyer there. Young
Meadow Mice wouldn't be bad. I could
eat a couple without any trouble. If I
didn't feel so lasy I would go hunt for
some. The trouble is, Reddy. and
Granny Fox and Whitetall the-Marah-
hawk have been Mouse hunting all the
morning and probably have frightened
all the Mice so that I would -have to
hunt a long time, and I don't feel like
it. Z believe what I want la a nice,
tender, young bird; perhaps ' two or
three, if they, are not too big. They
are very good eating, and they are so
easy to get.' All I have to -do Is to
find a nest and then help myself. I
believe I'll go up to the Old Orchard
and see what X can find there."
Mr. Blacksnake yawned once, or
twice, and then lazily uncoiled . and
started for the Old Orchard. .There
was no need to hurry, so he took his
time. When he reached the old stone
wall on the edge of the Old Orchard he
curled up on a big, flat stone to Test a
bit and at the same time watch what
was going pn. He did not try to keep
out of sight. In fact, he chose
a stone where he would-be In
plain sight of any one who happened
that way. He wanted to be seen. Tee,
sir, he wanted to be seen. He t knew
that whoever law him first Would
' make a great fuss, and then every
body in the Old Orchard would hurry
over to scream at him and call him bad
names. Thos who had helpless babies
in their homes would be the most anx
ious and. frightened, and so he could
tell without the trouble of a -lot of
climbing which nests had young in
them and which -had not.
It was a very simple plan, and It
worked out Just as he had expected. He
had not been curled up on the flat
stone of the old wall five minutes be
fore Chatterer the Red Squirrel came
running along. If Chatterer had been
as heedless as Peter Rabbit often Is
Mr. Blacksnake would have had a
" squirrel dinner, but Chatterer's bright
eyes saw him In time and he stopped
just out of reach. Then how Chat-
n MADAME ISE'BELL'S
BEAUTY LESSON
Pretty soon there was - a crowd
' around him, all screaming at the
top of their lungs.
terers tongue did got -Robber f thief I"
h yelled, - and added every bad name
he could think of. Right away all the
birds In the Old Orchard harried over
to see what the trouble was, and as
soon as they saw Mr. Blacksnake they.
too, began to scream. Pretty soon
there was a crowd ' around him, all
screaming at the top of their lungs.
Mr. Blacksnake didn't move. He just
lay there, . watching them with eyes
that never blinked, for - you know he
has no eyelids', and now and then run
ning out bis tongue In the most Impu
dent way.
All the time he was laughing to him
self down Inside. He was laughing
to think hew easily he was finding out
what he . wanted to know. Those who
were simply angry he knew had no
babies to worry about. They took great
care not to come very near. Those
who were very reckless and kept dash
ing about within reach of him he knew
had helpless babies and were in great
fear. Among these was Drummer the
Woodpecker. As soon as he saw this
Mr. Blacksnake made up his mind. He
would haye young woodpeckers , tot
dinner.

moaned
philosophers that
the age of - great
personal : beauty is
past; that there are
today no unique ex
amples of loveliness
to . which the world
pays homage.
There is no rea
son to doubt the ex-
s istence - today of
, - , beauty, as compelling
' as ever adorned the
I pages of history;
and there Is every reason to believe
that the average woman Is far better
looking than naa ever before been the
case.
General Improvement In Look a.
There are several reasons for this.
Women now take more intelligent care
of their looks. Their minds are better
cultivated so that Intelligence of ex
pression adds to mere physical
charms. : Moreover, the modern fash-
ton of dressing With Its wide choice
far - more becoming to the average
woman than the mora flamboyant
modes of the past which were only
suited to very beautiful types.
In ' youth at least, every , woman
today has her share of attractiveness,
and the proportion of good - looking
women of middle age is growing larger
every year.
Influence of Dress.
While modern dress has not equaled
the picturesque quality of the Renals-
ance or the gorgeousness of the
courts of the French Louis', It has ex
pressed precisely ths modern woman
and toe condition under which, she
lives. Cut and workmanship have Im
proved; costumes for practical oc
casions have grown mora comfortable,
more utilitarian and, aa knowledge
of dress has become more widespread,
Individuality In gowning has become
more pronounced. While women, as a
whole, have declared in favor of dress
ing along certain prescribed lines
termed "the fashions," these lines have
been elastic and sufficiently -varied to
suit different types. The result has
been pleasing and generally becoming.
