Of course he thanked Striped Chipmunk over and over again. Striped Chipmunk said that it was nothing, just nothing at all, and that he was very glad, indeed, to help. We folks who live out in the Great World have to help one another, said Striped Chipmunk, because we never know when we may need help ourselves. Now, you take my advice, Grandfather Frog, and go back to the Smiling Pool as fast as you can. The Great World is no place for an old fellow like you, because you dont know how to take care of yourself. Now when he said that Striped Chipmunk made a great mistake.

No one knew that better than Striped Chipmunk. But he has a great deal of respect for Grandfather Frog and he knew, too, that Grandfather Frog was feeling very much out of sorts and very much mortified to think that he had been caught in such a scrape, so he put a hand over his mouth to hide a smile as he said: Of course he isnt going to catch you again. I know how wise and smart you are, but you look to me very tired and, there are so many dangers out here in the Great World that it seems to me that the very best thing you can do is to go back to the Smiling Pool." But Grandfather Frog is stubborn, you know. He had started out to see the Great World and he didnt want the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest to think that he was afraid. The truth is Grandfather Frog was more afraid of being laughed at than he was of the dangers around him, which shows just how foolish wise So he people can be sometimes. shook his head. said he, I am goChugarum! ing to see the Great World first and then I am going back to the Smiling Pool. Do you happen to know where there is any water? I am very thirsty. Now over on the other side of the Long Lane was a spring where Farmer Browns boy filled his jug with clear cold water to take with him to the cornfield when he had to work there. Striped Chipmunk knew all about that spring, for he had been there for a drink many times. So he told Grandfather Frog just where the spring was and how to get to it. Watch out. Grandfather Frog, and dont fall in, because you might not be able to get out again, warned Striped Chipmunk. Grandfather Frog looked up sharply to see' if Striped Chipmunk was making fun of him. The very idea of anyone thinking that he, who had lived in the water all his life, couldnt get out when he pleased! But Striped Chipmunk looked really in earnest, so Grandfather Frog swallowed the quick retort on the tip of his tongue, thanked Striped Chipmunk, and hurried away to look for the spring, for he was very, very thirsty.

To this problem all who are carrying on in the fashion field agree that the suit, or the jacket dress that looks like a suit, is the perfect answer. There is no doubt that a tremendous suit season is at hand for spring and the coming summer. As an antidote for low spirits, style creators believe in color. Suits may be ever so simply styled, but theyll be an increasing enthusiasm among women to make their own. Whether your taste runs to spun rayons, gabardines, jersey or tweedish cottons that look like wool, many of the most desirable materials are so inexpensively priced that they act as another incentive to do your own sewing. If you take advantage of the magic of modern sewing machine attachments, youll find you can actually be a fashion standout in the Costume you make. Nowadays experienced seamstresses as well as beginners are surprised to find how easy ruffling, pleating, shirring and other distinctly couturier finishes are if you use modem machine attachments. The three suits pictured in the illustration above are of the simple type the average woman can make at home. For your first spring costume, why not break into a gay colored print?

The skirt is cut on the bias. The jacket of monotone spun rayon picks up the leading color in the plaid. Shoulder insets of the plaid unify the jacket and dress. Spring elegance and tailored simplicity are combined in the sleek g gabardine suit to the right in the above illustration. All roads lead to gabardine this spring. It is used for suits, for slacks costumes and for uniforms as well. The new gabardines come in all the smartest colors. The importance of common-sens- e shoes built for comfort is particularly stressed this season.

There will undoubtedly be a return to popularity of the jersey suit made famous in the last war by Chanel. Some commentators say that womens clothes will become more and more subdued as they begin to spend more time in uniform or in work clothes. They wont want to stand out too much. Another style reminiscent of the First World war is the straight skirt sometimes gathered up at the side, sometimes slit to the knee, and always just a little more extreme than you expected it to be. p: |
