Peter Is in Despair.

Never had Peter Rabbit felt greater
despair in his heart than when he
found who was following his tracks
through the Green Forest He didn't
know where to go or what to do. If
only 1t were any one but Shadow the
Weasel! From Reddy Fox or Old Man
Coyote or Hooty the Owl he could find
safety in a bramble tangle or a hol-
low log. But there was nowhere that
he could go that Shadow the Weasel
could not follow. When the ground
was not frozen he had fooled Shadow
by running in wet places where the
ground was swampy and the water

BRIGHT PINK FOR EVENING GOWNS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.



Special Correspondence Of The Star
NEW YORK, December 15.-When all
the colors for evening were presented
to the American women In October the
large majority of them must have
chosen brilliant shades of pink, to
Judge by the showing of it made
through the opera and the other social
functions which now follow each other
like automobiles in race on the speed
way.
Some of the debutantes adopt a pas
tel shade Of pink when there are roses
and white tulle to be added, but 1t
looks insignificant against the tropical
background of flaming pinks that other
women have chosen. To glance over
the Metropolitan Opera House between
the acts is to be reminded of the Island
of Madeira and those glowing rooftop
gardens that line the toboggan slide
over logs for thousand feet to the
burning. white town of Funchal.
1t seems as though all the pink in
the dye watts of the world had been
used up for this seasons ciothes A
thing so humble as homemade sweat
er ,and SO splendid as velvet gown
trimmed with bullion lace both flame
alike. like the kind of sunset that
makes people stop their work to look.
There are long. straight, Egyptian
looking gowns of rose velvet that seem
to have been made in some prlmltlNe
invented, when widths Of material were
flung across the figure and held in
place by barbaric ornaments Ihere
are other deep pink velvet gowns that
tai trousers which are heaped with
Arabian embroidery in gnttering
threads, and above such skirts drop
straight bodices of glowing pink tulle
which are incrusted with metal en-
broidery and have armholes outlined
with ermine.
On gowns of black velvet and tulle
there are huge. pink roses of satin and
velvet, and gowns of jet are draped
with butterfly wings of coral pink tulle
that rise and fall with the motion of
the arms and trail to the hem OF the
panel train.
After the Bourbon.
There are other gowns of flaming
pink that are not SO exotic; they rep
resent the pre-revolutionary days more
than they do the bazaars of Bagdad.
They are more fragile in construction;
they are built up of deep pink bro
caded taffeta, in which the flowers are
outlined with threads of silver. They
are heaped with silver lace and orna- |
mented with white tulle and caught
in their draperies with a |
splendid rose. |
The sketch shows such a gown that |
was worn on one of the brilliant |
Caruso nights at the Metropolitan. The |
skirt was quite wide and short, and the |
drapery at the back is compromise |
between a train and a Watteau over
skirt. We have become familiar with |
this seemingly inartistic conjunction |

present at a conference of the Missis-

Mr.. Tolle stated that the work of
this organization was progressing nice
ly and that steps were now under way
which would result in the still greater
achievement of good by this organiza-
tion. Mr. Tolle's official connection
with this board is most important
one as practically all of the executive
work of this body falls upon him and
he has been filling the office he holds

1876 PER CENT OF THE
COTTON CROP PICKED
MISSISSIPPI PLANTERS, FAVORED
BY GOOD WEATHER, ARE
CLEANING UP.

Not exceeding five per cent of Mis-
sissippi's cotton crop remains unpick-
ed, according to estimates from the
various counties.
The heaviest unpicked area is in the
delta section, where the work of pick.
ing is always behind, but even in the
delta the fields are almost clean, and
very little of the staple remains to be
harvested.
Weather conditions during the past
week were ideal for picking, and was
fully taken advantage of by the farm.
ers. AS the top crop this year is ex-
ceedingly small, the arrival of kill
ing frost is of no concern to the farm.
ers. UP to this time there has been
only one light frost.
The spell Of warm weather has been
of much benefit to autumn gardens,
although rain is badly needed in some
sections. The high temperature, in
fact has been bringing out new
blooms on cotton plants. but there is
little possibility that they will develop

SOCIAL SURGERY ON THE
BOWERY

In the reclamation of man from a
life of sin, and in the building up of a
character, the one most essential thing,
next to the grace of God itself, is self
respect And how can a man be self
respecting when he has not the means
of earning a living, but is dependent
upon others?
A Bowery mission convert is there
fore very quickly introduced to the
Free Labor Bureau, where every ef-
fort is made to secure him a position.
Since the bureau was organized eight
years ago, 27,493 such positions have
been found for men. In the mean
time temporary work is provided in
the Mission Industries, and in the La
Dor Settlement, now at Tuckahoe,
N. Y.
The men will be expected to work
steadily, but there will be no unduly
long hours. They will have good
food, healthy living conditions, ade-
quate social advantages, and at all
times an atmosphere OF Christian fell
lowship.
The Bowery Mission is now one of
the most complete converting and re-
generating institutions in the world
its activities being all welded together
in one complete chain; it's Gospel
meetings, it's brotherhood, it's Labor
Bureau, it's Mission Industries, it's La
Dor Settlement, and its farm.-The
Christian Herald.
