art In the case OF the one last mentioned

To modernize the tight skirts OF last year
they can be slit from the hem TO the
knees in four panels over an underpetti-
coat Of heavy silk, velvet or plush.
These materials will be greatly in evil

and pointed shoulder capes. with high col

with furs. They are smart little things
these capes, cut and worn to give square,
high-shouldered effect, instead Of the
dropping shoulders peculiar to the little
dresses OF the Louis XVI gowns so COM
monty worn during the last year This
squareness of shoulder is also shown in the
coats Of some OF the new tailored cos
tunes, and a return is noted Of the high

black Brussels net. Pointed back and

the latter. The pile OF the velvet catches
the soft net. the fringe weights it. so that
il clings closer with every movement of the
figure. Under the black net of the cNsage
one glimpses gold and silver metal min
gled with a little pale pink. and there is
belt Of pale pink silk passing wonderfully
under gold and silver motifs.
Thin beaded fabrics are quite derode

The latest hats show the smallest amount

Dining al a smart restaurant recently

pEACEMAkER JOHN.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
One summer, while travelling out West,
nv party and I passed one night al an
Indian village. Having always pictured
the Indians as rather uncivilized, l was
surprised TO see their up-to-date roads,
hotels and other modern improvements.
The next day, being informed that my
party would not start until after lunch,
started out for a stroll in the nearby
woods While walking, I noticed an In
dian man and two Indian boys walking
in my direction 7 afterward learned that
the man was Old John. the peacemaker Of
the village. Whenever there was fight
or quarrel John was always sure 10 Re
asked TO settle It. Now, the two boys
with him had been fighting about FISH
They had been out fishing and one boy,
Deerfoot. had caught the FISH Strong

titled 10 a half share Of the fish. as ne
had been with Deerfoot when he had
caught IT. AS they were quarreling, John
came up and asked the reason.

when told the cause of the trouble. II will

vited, / sat down with them and listened
10 the following story:
There was once a tribe OF Indians who
lived peacefully on the plains. They had
all the food they wanted. What more
could an Indian OF those days wish for :?
But at last came q time when game was
very scarce. Many Of the Indians died OF
hunger. One day two OF the young men
OF this tribe went out into the forest TO
look for food. After wandering a while
they came upon the tracks OF a buffalo in
the soft, white snow. Following the
tracks. they came upon the animal and
shot IL dead One Of the braves said that
he shot IL and the other said that he shot
IT, but that did not settle II. When they got
home part OF the tribe took one mans side
and the rest of the tribe sided with the
other. The quarrel grew more bitter every
day At last the two parties separated
and two tribes were formed. Some years
later another large tribe OF Indians came
and fought with one OF the tribes and de-
featsd IT. Then II fought with the other
