could understand how Peter could think
1t fun to be chased by Bowser. He
was so big and had such a great mouth
and his voice sounded so dreadful that
she never felt wholly safe even in the
Old Brier Patch.
Now. Bowser's voice sounded as if he
were very much excited. She knew by

only few feet behind him was Bowser
the Hound. Peter was headed straight
for the Old Brier Patch. and that meant
that he had long open stretch to
cross, with no chance to hide or play
tricks. He had just got to run faster
than Bowser could or he never, never
would get there
And Peter wasn't running as he usu-

as if something We're the matter with
him. 1t seemed as If every jump would
be the last one.

Mrs. Peter just as if Peter could hear
her
But Peter couldn't hear her. and he
didn't run any faster. What could be
the matter with him? Bowser seemed
to be at his very heels. Little Mrs.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. December 1.-The IN
fuence of skating is over everything.
The fact that woman wears a skat-
ing costume is not taken to indicate
that she knows how to use rollers or
runners.
Skating happens to be the fashion
of the moment, therefore the name and
the idea is attached to everything that
has a full skirt, short enough to show
high boots. The recreation threatens
TO flood America with clothes that will
be worn by rich and poor. just as the
alleged fashion for the tango gave rise
TO a hundred garments and diversions
under this name. Neither of them bore
any relation to the actual dance. which
has been rarely indulged in out of

Possibly the one fashion that it will

from the shoulder to the hips with
out any suggestion of waist line.
The smartest looking skating cos
tunes have this terkin made of leather,
in dull green, bronze and Burgundy

pensive and supposed to be more
subtle. After all, woman wants to
look as graceful about the shoulders
and the waist when skating as she
does when dancing.

copied for street costumes as sub
stitute for coats and for house gowns

On the living room table p small

lamp in the center. 1t is best to remove
it, as the basket alone will be suf-
fcient ornament. All the candlesticks
in the house should be brought out for
the holidays and new bright red can
dies placed in them.
Stars and half moons, some made of
silver cardboard, others of red blotting
paper. may be suspended from doors
and windows, and little angel babies,
with wings of tissue paper. hung from
the ceiling, will be an added delight to
the children. A few final bright
touches can be added by placing red
pillows on the couch and a red rug
here and there. Red lamp shades, or
anything else of that color that has
been put away can be made use OF
again, and a small basket, filed with
greens and suspended from chan
delier or hook in the ceiling. makes
most charming decoration.

sand and placing a well formed branch
of pine in the very center of the pan,
the sand holding it firmly in place. On
this miniature tree may be suspended
tiny tinsel ornaments and bright deco
ratons. The sides and the top of the
pan may be covered with red crepe
paper.
A pretty Christmas tree is one hung
with silver paper icicles. Cut strips
of silver paper and roll them tightly.
Run a black thread through two icicles
and hang them over the branches. The
effect of these silver icicles. when the
tree is lighted, is very radiant. Orna-
ments for the tree may be made from
old fancy postcards by cutting out
bells. heads, figures, etc, and decorat-
ing them with tinsel glued on.
Those who object to kisses under the
mistletoe will favor the substitution of
candy ones for the real article. Wrap
molasses kisses separately. first in
tissue paper, an equal number of each
color. Tie with red ribbon in clusters
from a bunch or wreath of mistietoe.
They make a pretty decoration.

The Cologne Gazette has now re-

mean danger for lis if the Russians,
