Established Styles in Skirts JTST now shop windows and show rooms are spring songs of cheerful nerchnndise. Lovely new cottons, in exquisite weaves, are on display and they include heavy as well as sheer fabrics ? the heavy weaves suggest ing separate skirts and suits, and the sheer ones enticing the seamstress to make summer frocks. Neighboring windows accommodatingly show ready made garments, helping to establish the styles, and If one thing is more ttrftdy fixed In our minds than another, it Is a vogue for plaited skirts. Eight ?>nt of ten models, at least, are plaited, mostly In box plaits, narrow or wide, single, double and triple. It Is the great number of striped and cross-bar patterns In materials that accounts for the diversity In plaits. Designers exercise their Inge iiulty in producing effects with them | wliU'lj change the looks of the pattern In (he skirt or feature certain colors In It, ho tluw material in which a tight and a dark stripe alternate may he .made up into a skirt that is all dark, hy plaiting the light stripe under? or the reverse. Even the plain-surfaced goods are plaited, however. One of the practical skirts for spring, as shown in the picture, lias a wide, barred stripe, narrowed hy plaiting, that alternates with a plain stripe. The helf is made of the barred stripe, with long tabs at each side, turned up and fastened with an odd flat button. There is nothing more trim than a well-fit lint; plaited skirt. amOHT Wt WTBH HIW*rt VMM It's an Uphill Pull for Polish Boys Bare feet and tattered clothes, little to eat and less to wear, such is the fate of thousands of children In central and eastern Europe.

Tluvuwliout till' legion a round 0MH I tor, s, l>ak., tli.'it day. the, telephone] lino* wore busier than thoy wore on ' tlu? day tho armistice was signed. r??r nine years this wolf had lived as an outlaw tin* crudest, the most , saga don*, the most successful animal1 outlaw that the rang? country had ever known. Ills cruelty was surpass ed only hy his cunning He killed With the refinement of animal fero city. Here to-nluht tomorrow night : he dovasted a range half a hundred j miles away. He loped through every kind of dan ger and spurmnl them all. He sniffed at the subtMfct, poison and passed it liy. The most adroitly concealed trap was as clear to hlui as a mirror in t lie sunshine. Old hunters, unerring shots drew the l*?ad on him and saw him glide a,wuy unha rifted. The price on his head was .$f>00. Bounty hunters sought him for profit. Sportsmen put forth every device to slay him for re putation's >ake. And still the old wolf went unscathed about his work of destruction. Credulous , people said he was a charmed thing,- Others attributed Ids immunity to a wisdom greater than Jieast ever In-fore j??ssessed. Still others said he escaiM'd by plain luck- ? the mysterious thing that adheres to some animals as to some men. Tn whatever way they explaliUMl his tin canny cluslveneNS. everybody feared him- ? perhaps not consciously, very i a rely openly, hut there was no man throughout that region who did not feel a shiver run down between his shoulder blades when, alone or in the dark, he thought of this grn.v devil of ? the desert. ' All kinds i if stories got abroad, j Tills tiling, they said. was not a wolf ? | not merely a wolf. They believed that nature had j>erpotratod a monst roslty. j lialf wolf and half mountain lion, pass- -j essing 'the craftiness of both and thoj cruelty of hell. In public opinion In*! had all the qualities of the Were wolf of Old World legends. No wonder that the telephones hum- \ med when the word . jweiiT ? ?u t that a ! hunter. sent hy the United States JJepart-ment of Agriculture* to protect the live-stock industry, had killed the criminal wolf. That word ended a nine years' reign of dread, during which the stockmen around Custer had paid tribute, to this wolf to tin4 extent of S2r>.<HK> worth of live stock. And mere money loss was not the whole | of the horrible toll he took. When lie! kilh^fl for food lie took only the choic- ! est animals. Invt sometimes he killed in atrocious ways for the. men* sake of killing. - often lie wounded cattle, breaking their legs. Idling off their tails, mutilating them in unspeakable ways. Four years ago his mate was killed lie never took another and many peo ple supposed t ha t he devoted himself to revenge for her death. Later on. he at taehed t < ? himself two Coyotes. not as equals, but as servants. lie* never per mitted them to conn* near him. and they could feed from Ids kills only after he himself had finished. They traveled far out on his flanks, giving him warning of ambush or approaching danger and adding to the atmosphere of mystery that surrounded him. After a bounty, reaching by stages from .$100 to $.">00, fnihid to bring in the old criminal's scalp; after private trupiM'i's and s|M>rtsmen hunters had given up the quest : after poisons and dogs had failed ? the stockmen tried a round-up. Having, as they thought located the wolf, a large number of riders smarted in a gri*at circle and closed up. This, like all the other de vices. was un.suocettsful. Some of the stockmen, in resignation, announced that they would have to hoard the wolf the rest of his life. Others decided to s? nd for a (Jovernment hunter.

"Wlien Williams first went into the country where the wolf ramrod, ho tried t? ? tind fresh track*. hut without j success. lie asked some of t)|o men | Who hml lost stock just whore the wolf mil do hi* headquarters in their soetlon They said the wolf may have had quarters uny where within a district ot *10 miles wide and Ofi miles long. They told him to 'wait tliciv a few days and the wolf would he sure to pay him a visit.. Contrary to their advice, Williams went into the hills west of Pringle and foiuul that t lie wolf was staying arotiml some eld dens in 1***1 Kiir Mountains. "Williams scouted up the soles of ids! shoes and started stringing out his traps.

Williams had his first ulimp.se of the wolf, hut was uitahlo to get a shot at him. The coyotes were acting as bodyguards, traveling from 100 to LMX) yeards on the flanks of their master. They would warn him of dan ger by taking -flight. For a while, Wil liams did not shoot the coyotes, hoping I that lie would get a chance at the wolf without having to give him warn ing by the shots tiiu Would be neces-l sury to dispatch his bodyguard. Fin ally, realizing, that there was no ehanoe of getting at the wolf tmless the coyotes were killed, Williams shot them, hoping that he then had :i clear field. In this In* was greatly mistaken The wolf played hide and seek with him. After making a kill, lie would go <ai some" distance, back trail for a few rods to a point, where he could keep under -cover and watch the hunter on his trail. Though this is a common habit of a bear, 1 have never before known a wolf to do it. It was on April 20 that Mr. Williams first found the* wolf doing this. At,/ other times the wolf 'took to fallen limber ami so could not l?e tracked. "Twice during May the wolf stepped on the jaws of traps, and on tho night of July lie rolled into or lay down <?n one and had a lot. of his hair -pulled out. This gave him such a scare that lie left the country for a while. Xo sign could be found of him near Custer until the night of August 1. when he made his presence known by killing several bead of cattle and wounding several more. Williams found some of these cattle, took the trail of the wolf and follow ed Mm all dav on a fresh track. This led up to the mouth of a canyon, and. knowing that the wolf would be taking 'a sleep after his big feed, Williams jtied his horse and started in. Just then two horsemen came up. riding at a breakneck speed and calling to Wil liams that they had found a yearling steer killed by the wolf. Williams motioned them to go back, but they did not understand when he meant and he was forced to return to meet them. Thus, he lost the best ehance be ever had of getting the wolf with a rifle. When he returned to the trail he found the place where the wolf had bedded jdown to sleep. The noise made by the I horsemen bad given him ?'the alarm ;in<! he had gone back down the canyon ! very close to the hunter and escaped.
