Peter RABBIT was prisoner In
hollow between the stones OF the
old wall on the edge Of the OLD
Orchard Black Pussy had chased
him there, and now she was keeping
watch Just outside. Peter didn't
particularly mind staying there. lie
had room to turn around. and he
was fairly comfortable. except that
one leg smarted where the sharp
claws OF Black Pussy had torn
through his trousers just as he had
Owed 10 safety through the opening
between the stones OF the wall. He
wouldn't have particularly minded
being a prisoner there but for one
thing. He knew that sooner or lat
or Black Pussy would give up and
10 away and then he could make his
escape back To the dear Old Brier
Patch. Tho thing that worried him
was that he would have no way Of
knowing when Black Pussy did go.
He would have TO guess when the
way was clear. and II he should
guess wrong, well. II made him shiv.
or to think what might happen.
SO he wisely decided TO be pa
tient. AS long as he remained where
ne was he was safe, and that was
the most important thing. So Peter
tried to take q nap, and because
everything was so quiet he present
ly began TO nod. and In few min
utes was asleep. BY and by he be-
gan TO dream. II was = horrid bad
dream In which Black Pussy. FIVE
times rs Zig as she really Is. had
surprised him far from any place

dreadful things she was going 10 do

A Brief Investigation

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. April II. -
Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of
staff of the United States army, and
Major General Funston, in charge of
operations along the frontier and in
Mexico, personally discussed tonight
the problems that have grown out of
the punitive expedition in pursuit of
Francisco Villa. General Scott ar
rived from Washington tonight, and
was met by General Funston, the two
going Immediately to General Fun
ston's headquarters at Fort Sam Hous-
ton.
General Scott professed not to know
whether the American troops were to
be recalled without having captured
Villa. He was sent here by Secretary
of War. Baker to discuss the situation
in detail with General Funston and to
make to the secretary personal re-
port. General Scott does not intend
going to Ell Paso or Columbus Off
GERS here are convinced that General
Scott soon will admit the futility OF
continuing the pursuit of Villa under
the existing circumstances.
1t is believed at departmental head
quarters that the investigation Gen
eral Scott has been asked TO make VII

troops in Mexico, there were renewed
indications about the state department
today that a wholly different aspect
of the Mexico problem was causing
growing concern. That is the move
ment supposedly headed by Felix DiaZ,
nephew of the former Mexican dicta-
tor, FOR a new revolution against the
dc facto government. None of the in
formation upon which the uneasiness
rests has been disclosed. 1t is known,
however that several Mexicans in the
United States are being closely
watched, and it seems possible that
some of the anti American feeling in
Chihuahua state which has met the
troops pursuing Villa may be attrib-
uted to this movement
The DiaZ movement, it is said. has
the backing of various elements of
Mexicans, both in Mexico and this
country. As viewed by the state de-
partment the activity of these elements
are the more dangerous because they
are wealthy. while the de facto gov
ernmcnt is involved in a snarl of
financial complications which would be
hard to overcome even in times of
complete peace.
While nc definite information was
obtainable tonight. there were indi-
cations that some Washington officials
at least thought it possible that the
Diaz interests were seeking to under
mine General Carranza among his va
rous commanders. Should clear indi-
cations of this become apparent, the
attention OF General Carrarza prob
ably will be called to the situation.
1t was pointed out at the war de-
/ uartment today that the portion of
1 chihuahua where the pursuit of Villa
( has been in progress has been doubt

Stree no new revolution could be

as possible that the recent events were
the result, in part, at least, of de-

girls clothing, was found today half
a mile from the home of Alice Empey.
the seven-year-o child who disap-
peared from her home near here last
Sunday morning. The piece of cloth
corresponded to that of u dress worn

The finding of the cloth is taken to
indicate that the child struggled with
persons who are believed to have kid
mapped her.
All the country in this vicinity is
about thoroughly searched, but thus far
little trace of the missing child has
been found. Friends and neighbors
have dragged Sand creek in the posi-
bility that the child might have beer
drowned, though nothing has beer
found to indicate such u possibility.

and the steam heat turned entirely off. If ones head feels cold, silk cap will protect it in the cold, well aired room. Eight hours of sleep are inn perative. If one can sleep but six hours one night, the full measure should be made up the following night. One can retire at midnight and rise at eight, week in and week out without any very apparent bad effects; but ten o'clock to six; or even eleven to seven will give a better complexion and more steady nerves at the end of the season. There is great virtue in the beauty sleep" which comes before midnight--and no lazy hours in bed after the sun is well up can equal the before midnight snooze in beneficial effects.
 The woman who wants to keep a smooth, unwrinkled complexion sleeps on a low pillow. As the body sinks downward in sleep, the face slips down the high pillow and the skin is pushed into creases around the eyes. By and by these may result in tiny wrinkles. if one is a heavy sleeper and a quiet one who does not turn about much in sleep. A low pillow also keeps the back straighter and wards off round shoulders. The head and shoulders lying straighter, too, one is apt to

The thorough application of cold cream every night in removing makeup" is what helps to keep the actress complexion young, in spite of the cosmetics her art demands.

Furriers are always on the qut vive to catch new fashion ideas and one of the most pronounced of this season is the stiffened, stapd-up collar which adorns CD the ermine opera wrap pictured.

This wrap is made of pure white Siberian ermine pelts, matched so that the skins take an oblique dl- rection on the wrap, and run straight up and down on the long scarf-end5 that extend from the collar. Count less black ermine tails trim the wrap, collar and scarf-ends.
 Small capes or pelcrines or ermlne for theatre wear are extremely pop ular, and though these little wraps cost a considerable amount they are by no means as expensive as full length coat of ermine. An enchanting five pointed cape of ermine; two points at the front, one at the back, and one over each arm. has the white ermine skins running up and down at the top of the cape, and following a border pattern around the edge, black tails dropping in a close fringe from this border.

 Ermine And Skunk.
 Another wrap pictured has an ermine collar edged with skunk in deep cape effect. This wrap Is of broadtail and has the close line over shoulder and arms and spreading ef- feet in the skirt, now fashionable. Broadtail is enormously expensive and is usually selected by the older woman, although even the debutante may wear broadtail if she is dressing in mourning. Trimmed with black fox or lynx, broadtail is deep mourning: in half mourning, it may be trimmed with Australian chinchilla, ermine or opossum.

dor, Maine or Canada. Mink from Arizona and Ter southwestern To- 1 calities is coars1r and lighter in color and Is sometimes streaked with dye to initiate the more costly northern va riety. Chinchilla comes from the mountains of South America and the choicest skins have a dark blue cast, shading in the lighter tones to soft gray. The chinchilla is also a tiny animal and his pelt is becoming harder and harder to procure-and therefore more and more costly. Australian chinchilla, Q really beautiful and dis t4nguished fur, much used for trim ming on coats and wraps of moire, caracul or broadtaiI, is really another name for a species of opossum-the Australian 'possum being quite diff ferent from the American variety and having a coat shading to blue and gray tones which needs no aid from the dyer.
 Sable, which has stood for magnif- icence and luxury for generations, is now almost extinct, but the little sable has a rival in koiinsky, an animal of the Russian marten family. Kolinsky approaches closely to the beautiful texture and color of genuine sable. yet it's price is very much less.
