FRANCE GIVES YOU HER IDEAS

FOR MEN

THE most sinister sartorial adjective ever applied

to the French is dapper.

There was a time when cliche-ridden novels were full of dapper little Frenchmen; and the notion still remains that one of President de Gaulle's countrymen in a suit looks like a brush salesman.

This image has sa frightened well-dressed Frenchmen that for years they have bought their clothes i London, t

French have leisura shirts, many of them in navy, which seems to be a popular colour this year, and one in a new meterial colled rhodinyl, a rayon-rylon mixture which makes it unfadeable, unshrink- able and indefrossable, which I would have thought meant un- thrilling.

Asked the Postman

The first person whom Knarf and Hamid asked was the Post- man who delivered letters to everyone on the street.

Some mornings Knori, the Shadow Boy with the Turned- About Nome, would be at the window, wailing to say gend morning to Chirpie. And some mornings Hanid. The Shadow Girl. would be there instead of livered letters to him.

"Chirple Sparrow?" the Post- man asked, pushing back his hat and scratching his head as he looked Up thoughtfully. "Seems to me I've never de-

Anart,

Chirple always there

But whether Knarl was there or Hanid was there, one thing was always certain Chipie Sparrow was always there!

And then suddenly, the begin- ning of Spring when the sun shone and the plants began growing and all the trees had fresh green leaves — when, in other words, everyone who was anyone

"Now I wonder." Hunid was saying to her brother Knart "Do you think Churple is sick or something?“

"I think we ought to go and look," said Knart.

Look whore?

"Look?" asked Hand. "Where should we look?"

"In his nest," answered Knart. "Birds like Chicple always live in nesis.

"But where is als

nest?" sked Hanid. "He never told us."

Kaari was sure that everyone the neighbourhood would know the address of Chirpic's nest,

"I'm sorry I can't help you." the Postman added.

The next person they asked was the Grocery Boy,

"He's just a Sparrow," Knart explained to the Grocery Boy,

"Sorry. I can't help you," said the Grocery Boy as he pedaled away on his bicycle.

Knart and Hanid nisa asked the Policeman, the Bus Driver, The Milkman, the Plumber and the Newspaper Boy.

None of them knew where Chirple Sparrow had his nest. But finally, just as they were returning home. Kari and Hond heard a familiar voice. It was calling to them from the tep of the tree which stood next to the lamp-post in the middle of the block.
