GRAYTAIL'S VOYAGE
i
RAYTAIL was one of a large fam-
fly of mice that lived in the walls |
of the pantry of the Dig House. It was
lucky for them that the cook was care-
less and left plenty of erumbs around. |
for Father Mouse could never have fed |
them all, even ufter a hard day's work |
bringing home ull the scraps he could |
find,
So when Graytail was quite young he |
had muny times ventured as far as the |
door to the kitchen by himself and
learned to be quick at dodging Black
Cat, which though too fat and sleek
to bother much ubout such a small |
mouse as Graytail, sometimes did chase |
one just for fun.
But Graytall was eager for adven-
ture and one day when the door was |

Graytail. “It Is spinning so I could

seeing another open door, he ran out
into what proved to be the hallway.
Against the wall stood an open trunk, |

it was a trunk. He only knew it was
something new for him to play in, so

laces and silks when suddenly, as he

find a hole through which to escape,

There was no hole, and before he

With his eyes closed tightly Gray-

and he wondered If he would ever see
it again. But when after

Shoes and Stockings
That unusually large feet or exced-
tionally broad feet should be shod In
shoes of one color, and of an inconsple-
uous style, uoes not entirely dispose of
the matter. There are too many en
chanting models to tempt the woman
who has not made the proper study of
her foot and its needs And so It Is
necessary to go into _reate- detail. A
shoe should be chosen not only be
cause it pleases the fancy, but aiso
bechuse It pleases the intelligence with
its suitability to the foot.
Consider the two-color shoe, which
ia one shade through the back and
which Is aaother color across the
front and toes. The main objection
this style for a short, broad foot ia
that it breaks the foot In two and so
makes It seem shorter and broader. If
the foot Is very broad, then the shoe
with n black front will detract in a
measure from the breadth, although
it cannot be counted upon to make the
Jont seem any longer than It actu.
ally Is.
The two-tone shoe, however, Is quite
definitely kindly In its effect on the
too-long foot, breaking it up as it does
into two distinct parts and so detract.

Stockings should match the shoe

they always should be as dark as pos-
sible when the ankie Is too thick. The
lighter the stocking the thicker the
