HE^N'T’addy the.Beaver slapped
the water with his broad tail,
making a noise like a pistol shot,
Lightfoot -the l>et*r understood that
tills was meant as a warning of dan
ger. He was on ids feet instantly
witli eyes, ears and noses seeking the
cause of Baddy's warning. After- a
moment or two Lightfoot stole softly
up to the top of a little ridge some dis
tance. back from Baddy’s pond, but
from the top of which he could see the
whole of the pond. There he hid
among some close growing young hem
lock trees. It wasn't long before he
saw a hunter witluaJerrible gun come
down to the shore of the pond.
Now the hunter had heard Paddy
slap the water with his broad tail. Of
course, there would have been some
thing very wrong with Ids ears had lie
failed to hear it. “Confound that beav
er,” muttered the hunter crossly. “If

there was a deer anywhere around this
pond he probably is on his way now.
I’ll have a look around and see if there
are any signs.”
!Sn the hunter kept on to the edge
of Baddy's pond and then began to
walk around it, studying the ground
as he walked. Bresently he found the
footprints of Lightfoot in the mud
where Lightfoot had gone down to the
pond to drink.
“I thought as much,” muttered the
hunter. “Those tracks were made last
night. That deer probably was lying
down somewhere near here, and ^1
might have got a shot but for .tmit
pesky beaver. I'll just look the land
over and then I think I’ll wait here
a while. \f that deer isn't too badly
scared he may come back."
So the hunter went all around the
pond, looking into all likely hiding
places. He found where Lightfoot had
been lying, and he knew that in all
probability Lightfoot "had been there
when Baddy gave the danger signal.
“It's no use for me to try to follow
him,” thought the hunter. “It Is too

dry for me to track him. He may not
be so badly scared after all. I’ll just
find a good place and wait."
So tbe hunter found an old log be
hind some small hemlock trees and
there sat down. He could see all
around Baddy's pond. He sat per
fectly still.' He was a clever hunter,
and he knew that so long as he did
not move he was not likely to be no
ticed by any sharp eyes that might
come that way. What he didn’t know
was that Lightfoot had been watching'
him all the time, and was even then
standing where he could se.e him. And
another thing he didn’t know was that
Baddy the Beaver had come out of his
house and, swimming under water, had
reached a hiding place on the opposite
shore, from which he too had seen the
hunter sit down on the log.
So the hunter watched for Lightfoot
and Lightfoot and Baddy' watched the

THROUGH A
W>maris Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
ONE PATH TO CHARM THAT IS
EASY TO ACHIEVE
( HAVE been reading an article about
how dancing improves posture and
carriage.
It is advised that we start in early
childhood the training that brings
about good posture and a graceful car
riage. We are told of the rhythms
which many schools are now teaching
in the kindergarten, how pnqter
breathing helps,’ t^ie importance of
good physical condition and always
that paramount matter of example—
letting the children see good posture
and graceful walking so that they will
imitate it *
As I read this It came to me that
not enough has been iaid about the
carriage of our women. We hear a
good deal about our bad voices, how
unfavorably they compare with the
voices of women of other countries,
how important is a good speaking voice
in a woman. But of a woman’s walk,
which is no less important than her
voice in the impression she creates, in
any hope she may cherish for that
elusive quality of charm—it seems that
far too jittle notice is taken, or ex
pressed,” -
If we observe the walk of the aver
age woman from the viewpoint of
grace and charm,-we must be struck
with horror; so few women except
those who are in some way athletic
walk in a'way which is satisfying to
the eye. So few women have that
stride from the hip. that means free
dom and poise in walking; so few
have animation In their walk, so few,
so very few, have rhythm.
No woman can have poise with a
mincing little hop of a walk. No

Dear ^lr. Wynn:
I am president of a debating soci
ety, and on next Saturday we are to
debate the following subject, “Who Do
the Silliest Things, Men or Women?”
It would help us considerably If you
would tell me tbe silliest thing you
ever saw a man do. Will you tell me?
Yours truly,
OBHELTA SORESBOT.
Answer: The silliest thing I ever
saw a man do was one dnylo H 16 P 08 *
office. I saw this man wjalfaround for
two hours and tbe minute he saw 'the
postal clerk turn his back, he pushed
four letters Into the box, without
stamps, thinking he was saving the
postage.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
A friend of mine was Invited to a
party at a young lady’s apartment,
and he went. During the evening he
told the young lady, quite frankly, that
he did not like her apartment. The
young lady had my friend arrested and
he was charged with assault. How did
the judge figure out an assault charge?
Yours truly,
Y. SHOODHE.
Answer: The judge probably figured
as long as your friend had said nasty
things about the young lady’s apart
ment he was guilty of “knocking her
flat™
Dear Mr. Wynn :
I go with a crowd of boys and girls
and once a week we meet and those
who can sing do so, while others Just
tell Jokes and stories. I tell Jokes.
There Is one girl in the crowd who
doesn’t like me and every time I tell a
joke* she always says: “That Joke Is
40' years old.” How can I cure her?
Truly yours,
j6e KING.
Answer: The next time you tejl a
joke .and she says: ‘ That Joke Is forty
years old,” you say to her: “And you
remember It all this time?” That’ll
cure her.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I am forty-four years of age and a
single woman. Met a man last night
who asked to call on me. He Is com
ing to see me next Saturday. I have
never had a man call on me before. In
case he wants to kiss me shall 1 call
for help?
Sincerely,
’ MAY DIN.
Answer: By no means call to:- help.
If yOu are forty-four years old and
have never been married and a man
tries to kiss you don’t call for help.
Call for witnesses.

woman can have charm who waddles
from side to side, no women can have
beauty who seems to be dragging one
foot after another.
And ibis is one thing, this matter
of a woman’s walk, which anyone can
learn without a teacher, which lias no
mysterious technique, and requires ab
solutely no expense. Any woman can
walk well by just thinking about It!
You can see the difference between a
fine beautiful walk and a bad walk
And any child has sufficient imitative
faculty to reproduce the good one.
Some of the paths toward charm afe
straight and narrow and difficult of at
tainment. But there is one path to
charm which is accessible to all ofbs
who have normal physical build. The
attainment of good carriage, of a
graceful walk, is comparatively easy—
.and cheap. You need only think, when
you are standing or walking, of how
you are standing’-or walking, think
about It until the carriage improved
by your own sensitiveness has become
natural!

Ship Ice to Iceland
Carrying coals to Newcastle has
often been cited as the most uneco
nomic of all practices. But carrying
Ice to Iceland was, until recently, re
garded as even more foolish. How
ever, last summer was abnormally
hot In Iceland, and the excessive
heat melted all the glaciers and Ice
bergs which usually supply Reyk
javik, the leading -seaport, with Its
quota of ice. For the first time In
the memory of the oldest inhabitant,
Iceland actually suffered because of
a shortage of Ice.—Taylor-Tycos,
