Independents. The city IL a scattered
collection of huts OF mud and stone,
poorly laid out and far from impressive
until you remember that the dark
skinned crowds on the streets are not
governed from London or Paris or Ber-
lin. but are ruled by their own king
This king, or emperor, Menelik ii, is
the founder of Ads Ababa. He Is a
shrewd monarch. who knows the short
comings of his subjects and believes in
personal supervision of the details of
government. He keeps the keys to
most of the royal storehouses in his
own pockets. and a diplomatic confer
ence with the representatives of the
powers is likely to be interrupted by
some rreniai who enters with the in
formation that the royal carpenter has
lost his hammer and wishes to borrow
the key to the royal Toulouse.
Then the king will go TO the window
of the council chamber. pick up a tel
escope he keeps there for just such an
emergency. and satisfy himself that
mer and is not loafing on the job. Such
a procedure makes for efficiency in the
royal household. but it is hard on dip
lomatic tempers.
MeneiiI shows many progressive
tendencies. Recently when a daring
motorist penetrated to Ads Ababa in a
car the king insisted on going for
ride, in the face of fearful protests
from his ministers. He even devel-
oped into something of speed maniac
and gave the English chauffeur a lion
skin headdress as a decoration for
|,valor-an appreciation that many
chauffeurs may deserve, but few Of
them get.
There are no grade crossing accidents
when Menelik goes out for ride. He
announces his intention officially and
orders the entire population of Abyss
sinia. along his route to stay at homo

Little Sprle,
10 Bedtime
The White Hunter.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS,
Copyright, 1915. by j. G. Lloyd

About the time that Peter Rabbit
had reached the Green Forest that
night after the first snow, a. slim. trim
little fellow yawned, rubbed his eyes
yawned again, stretched, and then
abruptly made up his mind that he
was hungry, and that it was time to
do some hunting. He scrambled up to
the doorway of his home, which was
in snug hollow under the roots of an
old tree in the Green Forest, and thrust
his head out. The. ground was white:
the trees were white: everything was
white. He smiled as he sat there
looking out at the white world, and
his smile was crafty. cruel, hungry
smile. That white world just suited
him It couldn't have suited him bet
ter. If you had been there when he
made his first leap out into the snow
you would have understood right away
why he was so well pleased. His coat
was as white as the snow. He was all
white except the tip Of his tail, and
that was black. 1t was Shadow the
Weasel.
Now of all the hunters of the Green
Forest there IS none smarter. none
more eager, none more tirsless than
Old Man Coyote and Hooty the Owl
hunt to fill their stomach, and when
they have their stomachs full they
stop hunting. But Shadow hunts for the
pure joy of hunting. When he has
killed as much as he can eat he does
not stop. Oh, my. no. He keeps right
on hunting. He is like a great many
two-legged hunters. 1t is for this that
he is so feared and hated by the little
people Of the Green Forest.
Now as he bounded along in long
leaps there was fierce joy in his
heart. With everything white he could
be even holder than usual, for in his
pure white coat not even the wrathful
eyes of Hooty the Owl, the one enemy
he really feared, would be likely to see
him. 1t was very convenient, that
white coat. He ran swiftly with long
bounds, stopping only to investigate
the old logs and stumps and brush piles
that he came to. Each of th.ese he ex-
amined very carefully. There might be
Woodmouse hiding there, and Shadow
Is too good a hunter to be careless.
So presently he came to the tracks
of Peter Rabbit. For just second
Shadow smelled of the tracks with his
keen little nose. than which there is
none keener. His eyes frightened with
eagerness. "Ha!" said Shadow. He assed

higher even than the Gardeners. All Anne
las long cherished ideas were carried
out. for Aaron, having never spent money,
had no ideas of his own. and the carpen-
tiers consulted Amelia. For six weeks
Amelia lived in a turmoil. which was,
however. dear to her soul. When the last
shaving was swept up she drew a long
breath of joy and relief. Aaron and Mrs.
Dodds, who had run in, stood watching
her.
Your house is a good deal nicer than
the Gardners'," said Mrs Dodds. i've

NEW VELVET GOWNS FROM PARIS.
BY ANNE R1TTENHousE.
Special Correspondence of The star.

Special Correspondence Of The star.
NEW YORK. December 1.-THE inn
mense quantity of velvet that is worn
by women of fashion and others brings
to mind remark of Mr. Harry Lehr in
a private salon at the house of Worth.
Mrs. Lehr was ordering some new
gowns for Biarritz, and Mr.. Lehr was
playing his usual role of arbiter and
judge. a role most unusual for an
American and quite natural for
Frenchman.
Jacques Worth was in the salon and
was trying to persuade them to order
one of his usual splendid black velvet
gowns. Mr.. Lehr swept it aside with
the remark: Every time a woman goes
to dinner in black velvet gown it
makes it impossible for her to sit in a
cane-seated chair. Velvet for walking.
but never for sitting
Worth laughed and substituted satin
remembering that truism concerning
velvet, one wonders how many women
sit and how many stand in the thou
sands of velvet gowns that are worn
from 10 O'Clock in the morning until
midnight. 1t is a comforting fact that
the velvet coat suit was not accepted
as ardently as the French designers
wished it to be.
Cotton velveteen was offered s SOP
to those who did not have full purse
although the final price of a suit at any
one of the important houses seems to
have little to do with the amount or
the quality of material used The Gus
tom this season is TO make 4 fiat price,
minus fur: and the. buyer can choose
any material or design desired.
The choosing of cloth for street wear
shows sense and reason on the part OF
the American woman. II belongs to
the climate and to her activities. There
is q strong tendency toward plain.
mannish suiting in the costumes that
are being built for January and Febru-
AIRY. which indicates a revolt against
too much ornamentation.
The Tide Turns Against Fur.
During the three months in which
cold Their clothes were worn there
was such an epidemic of fur. cheap and
otherwise, allied to fanciful street
suits, that it was natural women should
revolt This condition was prophesied
early in September. Probably the fur
riers have run out of all the peltry
they had, and. therefore, are suggest
Ing suits without. Whatever the real
reason, however. the fact remains that
wherever one goes today suits are be-
ing ordered of mannish materials with
out fur.
No one has any objection to velvet
for the afternoon. The present weave
is 90 thin that it does not become I'M

fon as the fabric chosen for social af-
