Jimmy Skunk that Jumper the Hare. who
is Peters cousin, is the greatest jumper

Forest and the Green Meadows, he spoke
without first stopping to think. He really
believed it was so, but he would have

Jimmy Skunk insisted that there were
better jumpers than Jumper the Hare.
But he stuck to it, and now he had got
to prove it by getting his cousin Jumper
to enter jumping match that very night.
For the life of him Peter couldn't think
of any who could jump farther than
Jumper, but still he felt uneasy as he
started out to- hunt for his cousin.
Meanwhile Jimmy Skunk was inviting
everybody to grand jumping match that
evening. 1t was to be held by the tall
pine on the edge of the Green Forest as
soon as jolly, round Mr.. Sun had gone to
bed behind the Purple Hills. Jimmy got
the Merry Little Breezes, the children of
Old Mother West Wind. to take his invi-
tations around for him, and he charged
them to overlook no one. Everybody
was to be invited. He himself had some
thing else to do He had got to get the
two jumpers he had in mind to promise
to be there and jump against Jumper the
Hare.
The Merry Little Breezes danced away
across the Green Meadows and through
the Old Orchard and the Green Forest

to be sure to be on hand by the tall pine

What Is Left of the Military.
That the high collar will be the
strongest symbol of the military tend

on many coats and on a vast variety
of waists. There is. however. a new
kind of high collar coming out on the

on the one-piece frocks in thin serge

No one could call these neckpieces

there is an undoubted application of
the uniform for soldiers in the new
gown which Jeanne Lanvin has sent
over-a gown which carries out the in
dividuality for which she is famed.
Lanvin's Successful Gown.
Last winter and spring the house of
Lanvin sent out suits that became the
beloved costumery of every young girl
in New York, and for that reason the
artist has made sketch of this new

trimmed with brass buttons and boasts
a military collar and belt. There are
semblances of pockets. outlined by a
