The students of our race claim that

which are far more vital than q change

Peter had watched sharply, but had
seen nothing. when suddenly Hooty
swooped down right in front of where

age American figure are now sought
by American buyers abroad. What
we once called the boulevard hgure
has become the 5th avenue figure; but
1t is not yet in control, and there
are far too many women of the other
type (women who suggest Engl1sh
and Scandinavian origin) for the mil
liners to be able to conf1ne their de-
signs to one style of headgear.
The Art of Posing Hat.
AS race we are well on the road
toward the perfect posing of hat,
and we have gone far in the last dec
ade Even now, however. the. women
who know it's importance and strug-
gle with it's problems are not those
who gained their knowledge in this
country; they belong to that large
class that took it's lessons in Paris. a
class which has completely fallen
apart since the war began. but which
has not gone backward in its art of
dressing.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
thousands of American women feel
themselves able to put on their hats
without the aid of a mirror, or with
only hasty glance in one. They
leave it as the last thing to do when
dressing; they regard it as a means
of covering for the head. sop to the
convention that demands that women
shall go with their heads covered in
the street. AS the leading part of
their costume, as the thing which is
apt to make or mar the appearance
Of the face. they do not regard it.
Even those women who choose their
hats with infinite care are not al
ways apt to give themselves sufficient
time in posing. They do not fully
realize that they cannot put a hat on
over any coiffure. and that it cannot
be jammed down on the head. or
pitched lightly. like leaf on a lawn,
regardless of whether the hair is done
high or low.
Really. there should be small rooms
in every place where millinery is
shown to teach women the art of put
ting on a. hat. So necessary is this
teaching sn America that the woman
who ventures in a business expert
ment where lessons are given in this
art, as they are now given in dancing.
might find herself able to put butter
and jam ON her bread.

Hooty the Owl Proves a Friend.
Oh honor a friend when friend you need,

Oh honor a friend when friend you need,
For then is a friend friend indeed.
Sometimes people act the part of
| friends without knowing it. 1t was
that way with Hooty the Owl. He
proved friend to Peter Rabbit when
Peter most needed friend, but he
doesn't know it to this day. However,
Peter doesn't forget. and he has a
kindlier feeling for Hooty than ever
he used to have. 1t is queer how things
sometimes happen in this world. Hooty
did for Peter the greatest thing that
any one can do for another; he saved
Peters life. Yes. sir. that is just what
Hooty did. And this is the queer thing
about 1t; he didn't try to do it. More
than this. he didn't know that he did do
it, He doesn't know it yet. But Peter
knows it. and little Mrs. Peter knows
it, for Peter told her all about it. and
one other knows it-shadow the
Weasel
You see it was this way: Peter had
run until he felt IL he couldn't run
another step. His feet felt too heavy
to lift He was so short Of breath that
he had a pain in his side, the same sort
of pain that You sometimes have when

NEW YORK. December 1.-THE
high-crowned hat is by no means hav-
ing its own way in fashion. 1t suffers
from overpopularity. Another rea-
son for Its partial defeat is the fact
that it is not suitable to the majority
of faces. It accentuates the length of
the nose and jawbone.
In certain forms, such as the built
up turban which spreads across the
head in some manner through an ar
rangement of folds, it suits large

better than does hat with an insig-
nifcant crown.

Nearly every woman has been con
fronted this season with the problem OF
making over dresses that had gone out
of style because of the return to full
skirts and tight bodices. 1t is not so
difficult to make over the blouses and

The Hat With the Neckpiece.

One of the forehanded milliners saw
in the fashion for skating a chance
for a modified Dutch skating cap,
shown in the sketch 1t Is of black
velvet, made over a slender skeleton
form which has broad, low crown
that permits the hat to cover the top
part of the head.
There is no suggestion of the mon
key cap about 1t. The brim IS indi-
Gated and the hat is given width by a
wide band of white fur, which leaves
the hat at the back, widens into a
neckscarf goes once and a halt
around, and is finished with a heavy
SNOWFALL of fur that is fastened to
the front of the coat.
Skating has already brought back
all kinds of brilliantly colored muf-
flers for street wear, and many women
are substituting them for furs.

well rounded out. The end of such II
life and character is one of peace.

The Answer.

Life, Death and Love once stood be-
side field,
Where man had fought with sword,
and gun and shield,
And as they stood Life spoke with
bated breath,
And said: "I wonder when the foes
will yield?"
Then death with hollow eyes looked
at the men
Who gasping lay about his feet, and
then
81 think" he said, "when all the
world is drenched
In blood, the strife will fnish-only
thenw
But love looked far away with tear
full eyes,
"My friends" he said, beyond the
sun there lies
A land where the flowers bloom with
perfume sweet,
Where no one suffers pain and no one
dies.
"And in this country at the rainbow's
end
There lives a king who is helper
Friend
Who pardons sins and washes guilt
away,
And when man knows His love, the
war will end"
