"But Ah am tired and Ah want to sleep," whined Unc' Billy In the spring Unc' Billy Pos- sum had had to seek a new home, It wasn't because he was not sat- isfied with the old home, No sir, itwasn't for any such reason as this, He was satisfied with it. He was entirely satisfied with it, It suited him better than any other home he ever had had. It was in a big hollow tree in the Green For- est near the Laughing Brook, and Unc' Billy dearly loves to be near water. The hollow was of good size, just the right size, in fact, and he and Ol' Mrs, Possum had spent a very comfortable winter in it, Then spring came and with it babies, a dozen of them, Unc' Billy returned at daybreak one morning to find OI' Mrs, Possum sitting in the doorway and to be the sides and shoulders are joined the circular sections are stitched to the dress.

At was rather high up for a LAWYERS INCREASE IN BRITISH HOUSE Fifty More Members of Legal Profession Than in Previous Parliament London, Nov. 20. -- Lawyers notoriously comprise a large pro- portion of the membership in any British House of Commons. In the new parliament, which re- cently assembled at Westminster, the percentage is higher than ever before. There are 135 law- yers, though not all of them prac- tice, an increase of nearly 50 over the number in the previous parliament. No fewer than 32 of them are King's Counsel. There are also 18 doctors and surgeons, of whom several are specialists. Major 'Walter Elliott, Conserva- tive financial secretary to the Treasury, belongs to both the leg- al and medical professions. More than 40 holders of mili- tary rank and 10 men of naval distinction have signed the roll of the House of Commons. There are seven generals and 20 colon- els, One of the three admirals, Rear Admiral Gordon Campbell, Conservative, who defeated Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, former foreign secretary, is a holder of the Victoria Cross. Wing-Com- mander A, W. H. Jones, Conser- vative member for Wellingbor- ough, Northampton, is practically alone as a representative of the Royal Air Force, although Lieut.- Commander R. T. Bower, Con- servative representing Cleveland Yorkshire, has passed through both the Royal Naval and Royal Air Force staff colleges. 0. E. Simmonds, an aeronautical engi- neer who is sitting as Conserva- tive membeg for Duddeston, Bir- mingham, was largely responsible for the design of the seaplane on which Flight-Lieut, Webster re- captured the Schneider Trophy from Italy in 1927. Literature has a fair represen- tation, led by John Buchan, the Conservative member for the Combined Scbttish Universities, novelist and writer of historical works. Among members of the new House are many prominent in the realm of sport. Viscount Kneb- worth, Conservative member for Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and eld- est son of the Earl of Lytton, is a well-known amateur boxer. So is "the Boxing Marquis", Lord Clydesdale, Conservative return- ed by Renfrew East, who is also Possum, "But Ah am tired and Ah want to sleep," whined Unc' Billy, "Then yo' will have to sleep somewhere else," retorted OI Mrs, Possum shortly. "Ah haven't any more room than Ah need right now, and when these chill- un get bigger Ah don't know what Ah'll do." to go," whined Uae' Billy, "Ah reckon there is room fo' me fo' a little while yet." Ol' Mrs. Possum was losing patience. "All right," sald she, '¥o' can come in here and Ah will go look for another home fo' mahself and troubles, twelve of them, can take care of them." "Oh, but Ah can't do that!" protested Unc' Billy in dismay at the very thought, "But yo' expect me to and don't think anything about it," snapped Mrs, Possum. 'Now one of us has got to take care of these chillun. It is to be me or will yo' do it?" Mrs. Possum turned her head to hide a grin, or she knew very well that Unc' Billy wouldn't and couldn't take care of those precious babies, nor would she have let him if he could, Unc' Billy looked up at her in dismay, 'Ah reckon yo' better take care of those chillun," said he. Then he glanced about un-4 certainly, "But Ah don't know where to go," he whined. "Go where yo' go when yo' stay away two or three days as yo' have done several times late- ly,' snapped Ol' Mrs, Possum. "Ah got worries enough without worryin' about where yo' gwine to sleep. Just yo' go along now and don' come botherin' me fo' a long time. Ah got mah hands full as it is." So Une' Billy, feeling much abused, wandered of rather aim- lessly and because his stomach was full and he was very sleepy he curled up in the first hollow log he came to and there spent the day sleeping. He awoke about the time the Black Shadows came creeping through the Green For- est and started out to look for his dinner. As he hunted he kept an eye out for a new house, He grumbled to himself, for he felt much abused, but down in his heart he knew that what OI Mrs. Possum had said was true and there wasn't room for him and that big family in the old home, ; He didn't find a place to sult him that night and spent the fol- lowing day and several moré in a hollow log, Then by chance he |: discovered a hole in a big tree some distance from his old home, He climbed up to investigate, Jt azy. fellow to climb, especially on a full stomach and when he was very sleepy, but otherwise it | suited him, "AR'll try it fo'! awhile and see how Ah like it, he decided. . !

Vitriolic verbal brick-bats bounce from criti- cal columns as those who sit in judgment upon the theatre defend or assail the Norman Bel Geddes production of "Hamlet." No play in recent years has creat- ed such a controve yg; as the reviv- al of this drama of the Mad Prince of Denmark. The purists among the critics, those who, like their Shakespeare straight and orthodox, have denounced the Bel Geddes production as taking too many lib- erties with a work they consider sacred literature. There is a rival school of critics who are just as ardent and enthusi- astic in lauding the show. They like the way Bel Geddes has "hu- manized" the play, taking some of the awkwardness from its action and making the dialogue more eas- ily understood. They like the per- formance of Hamlet by Raymond Massey, Toronto-born actor, point- ing out that his is not the postur- ing, declamatory Hamlet of John Barrymore or Richard Mansfield, Massey's is a young, angry, re- | Jean Ruth Cake Shoppe == ANNOUNCES THE -- Opening of their Cake Shoppe 8 SIMCOE STREET S.

For "Hamlet" is one of the two out- standing dramatic hits of the sea- son, the other being "Mounring Be- comes Electra." The feature of Bel Geddes' "Ham- let" really is his lighting and scene- ry. The latter is nothing more than adjustable blocks which may be moved in a second to become either a castle hall or the interminable expanse of a graveyard. A dozen batteries of multi-colored lights are so arranged that they can illuminate any corner of the stage, yet leave the remainder in pitch darkness.
