One of the interesting books of the spring is Hugh Walpole's "Above the Dark Tumult." Again as in the "Portrait of a Man with Red Hair", Mr. Walpole has written a macabre story of accu- mulative fear and horror, It is told by a young man who, reduced to his last shilling, enters a barber shop in Piccadilly and becomes in- volved in a strange adventure that leads to a murder. "The Memoirs of Marshall Foch', the commander-in-chief of the allied armies, constitute one of the most significant contribu- tions to war literature. Their publication was hastened by recent controversies regarding the policies and conduct of the war, and the book is Foch's own vindication. Except for a brief biographical foreword, the memoire deal only with the years 1914-1918, Tn make the work comprehensible and readable for the layman, the trans- lator has avoided, as far as pos- sible, military technicalities, and has added explanatory comment.

The crocheting is so casy to do it is mere child's play. Yokes are done in filet stitch with a number twenty mercerized crochet or tatting thread, while the lace edgings for collar and cuff sets require a number fifty to seventy thread for the less sheer fab- rics, Lace edgings on collar and cuff sets are casier to crochet than the edgiggs used on wash cloths, because they 'are narrower and take less time, So, if you want to be up to the minute, get out the little old crochet hook, and go to it. For filet yokes andcollar and cuff sets you can match the color of your tub frock in boilfast colors, or you can have a contrast in white or ecru. There is nothing cooler for summer than these filet yokes, and nothing cooler and daintier looking than the crochet lace edged collar and cuff sets for suits and frocks. BLUE WITH CHERRY This is a new color combination that is launched in summer fashions and. its novelty lies in the fact that the blue is a soft gray blue tone which makes a most happy combina- tion when used with cherry color. It is particularly smart when the blue appears in the frock and the cherry color in the little short jacket.

So you will find that they are always ready to fight when they have any chance at all. "An- | Storm fs | Dragon | « An | would | He domi- | make | edited by J. C.

When he did so he sat up just the way a Kangaroo does, Longfoot did the same thing. Then they began to hop about in the funniest way. Farmer Brown's Boy had all he could do to keep from chuckling right out. Each was waiting for a chance to catch the other off guard. Sud- denly the other leaped and kicked. i Each was watching for a chance te catch the other off guard, His long hind feet landed with a thump on Longfoot and knocked him over. But in less time than it takes to tell it Longfoot was up and hopping about, watching for his chance. In a moment he got it and his kick sent the other roll- g over in the sand. They didn't ie their teeth. They fought with kicks instead of bites, and the man- in which they hopped about was very funny to see. It was the nniest fight Farmer Brown's Boy had ever seen. ner For a few minutes neither had the advantage. Then Lonzfoot managed to kick the other over being kicked himself. This was enough and ended the fight, The other Rat decided that he wasn't interested in that little heap of grain and he had business somewhere else any- Longfoot triumphantly turned back to fill his pockets with that grain. Guess how he felt discovered that while he had been fighting another Kanga- roo Rat had made the most of op- pertunity and was just leaving with his pockets full. 193, T. W.
