so Peter went back into the nest
with the other birds, and was CAD
enough to rest, for the Climb to the
edge of the nest had made him
weary" Dorothy continued.
OF course you remember, children,
the story she was telling to Mary
Elizabeth and the boys about
nestful of birds that were born
and grew until they were quite
covered with feathers, and just
aehed to try their wings.
The biggest bird was called Peter,
and it was Peter that first climbed
to the edge of the nest and peeped
over at the busy, big world below.
He saw so much that he was daz-
zled, and fastened TO tell it all
to the other birds that we're wait
ing in the nest. And then, when
nc wanted to fly. the mother bird
said no, that he must wait.
II saw green grass stretching
over the hills like a carpet, and l
saw a river, and trees and butter
flies and BIRDS boosted Peter, and
as soon as / learn huw to use my
wings I'm going to fly all over the
whole world and see everything

And now about the shoes: The

almost all the new shoes except those
for tramping and outdoor sports.
These are mannish and rather broad
in style and have spring heels. For
other shoes the half Louis, Cuban,
and kidney wood covered heels are
used. Black leather, such as gun
metal is not as modish as in the past,

Metallic leather, which is really

Shoes and hats-whoever would

Yet both are now so important In
their relation to the costume that it
seems quite right TO speak of them

cidedly new and pronounced lines for
spring; the hats take the up and
down lines that reach TO great height,
the shoes long graceful lines that
give the impression of greater length
than we have had in the past.
In describing the new hats the
materials come first. Soft hemp is
favored, though straw braid combined
with fabrics is especially well liked.
Hats for general wear are moderat eiy
small but with large head sizes. They
still fit way down on the head.
Height is given in the shape and
trimming. Brims turn way up on

The Brave Boy

Jack was left by his father and
mother to stay home and mind the
baby while they went for walk. He
sat down to read book.
Suddenly he heard a noise and,
looking up, saw a bear standing by
the baby's Grade. AS quick as he
could he seized the kettle of boiling
water from the stove and spilled the
water all over the bear. The tear
was scalded from head to foot. He
died very soon.
When Jacks father and mother
came home they saw what he had
done. After that they always called
him a brave boy for hav ng saved
the baby. ISSIE WEISSLITz.

Beautiful Buttons

One of the predominating features
of the spring suits. as being shown in
advanced models in Paris, is the but
tons.
Buttons seem to be made out of
every substance-some seem to be
n ade out of pebbles, some out OF
agate, and some out of amber.
They are larger than ever. and long
bar shapes and balls seem to be most
favored.
Co'ors are decidedly vivid.
