Sticky-Toes the Tree Toad Plans a Joke
(By Thornton W Burgess.)
(Copyright, 1914. bv J. <*. Llovd.)
Some people call Sticky-toes the Tree
Toad a croaker. They say he croaks for
rain. But some folks don't know Sticky-
toes as well as they might. Re is anything
out a croaker. You know a croaker is one
who is always seeing the dark side of
things and always saying that something
baa is goin* to happen, a croaker 1s
nerer known to laugh, and as for playing
a joke, why, who ever heard of a real
croaker doing anything like that?
If you could have seen Sticky toes ns he
»at in the tree where Cresty the Flycatcher
had made his home you won Id never have
suspected him of being a croaker. No, in-
deed! He was laughing until there was
danger of splitting his sides.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho, ho. ho!"
laughed Sticky-toes, and put both hands
to his sides because they ached from laugh-
ing^ so long and so hard.
You see, it just happened that he was
sitting in that particular tree when Cresty
and Mrs. Cresty brought home the old suit
of Mr. Blacksnake which he had thrown
away when h« got his now one. Stickv-
toes had watched Cresty and Mrs. Cresty
tear the old suit to pieces and take it into
the hole where they were building their
nest. He had noticed that Mrs. Cresty had
left the tail of that old coat hanging out-
side the door, and it gave Sticky-toes an
uncomfortable feeling every time he looked
at it. for when it moved in the wind it
seemed us if there was some one alive
inside of it. Tn fact, it reminded Sticky-
toes so strongly of Mr. Blacksnake him-
self, of whom lie is very, very much afraid,
that he was tempted to run away. But he
didn't, and day after day he watched that
tail of Mr. Blacksnake's old cont fluttering
in the wind and just couldn't keep his
eyes off it.
He was watching it when Chatterer the
Red Squirrel came climbing up the tree in-
tent on a dinner of the eggs he felt sure
he would find in Cresty'a home. He
knew nothing about that old suit of Mr.
blacksnake, and so when he suddenly
found the tail of it wriggling almost in
his face he thought Mr. Blacksnake him-
self was there and was so frightened that
he Just let go his hold on the tree and
dropped to the ground. Then without
once looking behind him he scampered
away as fast as ever he could go. It was
this that tickled Sticky-toes the Tree Toad
so. To think that shrewd, sharp-eyed Chat-
terer, the mischief maker, should hav*
been so fooled and frightened by an old
suit! Was there ever such a Joke be-
fore ?
All the rest of the day he chuckled to
himself as he thought about it. He awoke
in the night to laugh about it. Early the
next morning as he was getting readj* to
occupy bis old seat where he could watch
that fascinating old coat tail he heard the
voice of Snminy Jay. Right nwny an idea
came to him. He would plav aii joke on
Sammy Jay. Yes. sir, that is what he
would do. Sammy is just as fond of egc*
as is Chatterer. Sticky-toes knew this.
So ut the first opportunity he called Sam-
my Jay over to him.
One of the pleasant affairs of the week
was the swimming and dancing party last
evening at the Travis Club enjoyed by
a number of the Post and town people.
In the party were Captain and Mrs.
Myers, Lieutenant and Mrs. Lee, Lieu-
tenant and Mrs. Parrott, Mr. and Mrs.

GENERAL MENTION
(By Lillian E. Young.)
PARIS, Aug. 8.—What a trying task is
the living molcd's! Although, judging from
her omnipresent mude-to-order smile, she
herself does not seem to think so. But
fancy parading endlessly through the sa-
lons and showrooms of a great establish-
ment on the warmest midsummer days
clad in wintry costumes and bundled up in
furs!
It is at this time that winter things are
shown, as iu cold weather the next sum-
mer's display is made, and the poor living
model spends here life climbing in and
out of uncomfortably unseasonable wraps,
suits and gowus.
In one or the most important salons in
the Place Vendome, on quite the hottest
sort, of a day, we sat and watched a parade
of wintry-looking models, but the things
they wore were so lovely and so beautifully
fashioner! that their lot did not seem such
a one after all.
The one here shown Interested me in
particular and elicited from the other on-
lookers subdued murmurs of admiration.
S j silhouette is the important thing
with designers we may doubtless ascribe
to it the increasing popularity of black
and white effects, for with no other combi-
nation can such distinctly silhouettes be
Drought about. We all know that the new
silhouette is narrow at the shoulders and
flares at the feet and the costume sketched
was no exception to the rule.
It was in white and black with just a
touch of brilliant green woven into the fig-
ured sash. The bodice of the dress was of
white chiffon very simply made by a ki-
mono-sleeved pattern and the sleeve ends
were bordered with white fur, as was also
the long, full tunic of white chiffon veiling
a plain underskirt of black satin, which
was mounted at the hips to a white satin
top. The bodice and skirt were joined
under a swathed bayadere sash of black
and white and green brocade.
To go with this costume there was a
charming short., coat and an odd barrel
muff of untipped ermine, though a less ex-
pensive model was carried out in white ve-
lour and was equally effective.
Chiffon as a material for street costumes
is promised unusual favor, especially for
the long tunics, and aside from the appar-
ent inconsistency of them they are re-
sponsible in a large sense for the success
of the new calling costumes.
A handsome cold weather costume In blacfc
and white.
TAKING CHANCES
Miss Fanita McMillan writes interest-
"Do you want some nice fresh eirtfs?" ing accounts of gay times in Birmingham,
whispered Sticky-toes in Sammy's ear. ' ' * '
Sammy looked at him suspiciously. "Of
course I do; ,vou know that without HKk-
iiiK," said he.
Then Sticky-toes, still whispering told
hitn iihout the home of Cresty the Fly-
catcher and that he way quite sure that
there must tie eggs there. But be didn't
say a word about the old suit of Mr Black-
snake Oh, my, no! Indeed, no! You

We were watching the dancing at the

More harmony with the music. More natu-

The most appalling calamity conceivable
would be an earthquake in New York
City.
Such an event would be more terrible in
the American metropolis than in any
other, as London, Paris, Berlin or Vienna,
because of the skyscrapers.
If any romancer is looking for a theme
from which to weave a story that would
five full scope for his imaginative powers,
recommend that he read the address re-
cently delivered by Franklin M. Went-
worth of Boston, before the National Asso-
ciation of Building Managers and Owners
ac Duluth. He said:
"No disaster more horrifying could bo
imaginable than that which would occur
if New York City should have .an earth-
quake. Just enough of a shock to break
water and gas mains and to snap electric
leads—the loss of life would be appalling.
"Imagine the nanic if such a disaster
should come duriug the rush hours when
100,000 persons would be in the subway a
or when panic-stricken occupants of great
buildings were attempting to make their
way down to the ground.
"The skyscrapers nave made the subway v M£'niv
a necessity. A great conflagration, such
as is possible in New* York, would bring
the same disastrous results as an earth-
quake and choke the subways."
An earthquake in New York is n«J an
impossibility. What happened to San
Francisco ought to be u lesson.
Americans take chance**. They take
more chances with their lives than with
theif money.
On July 15 the Court of Appeals upheld
the conviction of Charles Kaye, who had
been convicted in the lower courts for re-
fusing to install a sprinkler system in
hii loft building.
In its decision the court used these
words:
"There are approximately 5,000 factory
buildings in the city, having an aggregate
daily occupancy of over oOO.OOO people.
Two-thirds of these toilers are women,
who. as a rule, are employed In factories
the fire conditions of which are extra
hazardous. Indeed, women predominate in
nearly every industry where great num- J noon today
bers of people are working upon highly
inflammable materials in great, open lofts,
ai in the Kayo building.'
In the fire of March 25, 1911. in the Ascb
Building, practically a counterpart of the
Kaye and many other structures, 14;> lives
were lost.

rudence, and for horror to give us wia-
