never. never do for him to show him
self outside, for right away Reddy Fox
and Jimmy Skunk would both suspect
that he had had something to do with
that wild ride of Jimmy's in the barrel
AS 1T was. Jimmy didn't know anything
about Reddys chase of Peter and nat
urally thought that Reddy had rolled
that barrel down hill purposely, and
Reddy hadn't suspected that Peter
might have planned to make him run
into that barrel to get him into trouble.
So it wouldn't do to show himself now.
No, indeed.
All he could do was to kick and
squirm and twist his head around to
see what was happening. 1t didn't
take long to find out. Even as he
looked he felt another sharp pain, which
brought another Ouch" from him and
made him kick harder than ever. Two
very angry little insects were just get
ting ready to sting him again and more
were coming. They were yellow-jack
cts, which. you know, belong to the
hornet family and carry very sharp
little 1ances in their tails. The fact
is this old house of Johnny Chuck's
had been deserted so long that the yell
low Jackets had decided that as no one
else was using IL they would. and they
had begun to build their home just in
side the hall.
Poor Peter, What could he do? He
didn't dare go out and he simply could
mt stay where ne was Whatever he
to him as If a regular army Of yellow
Jackets was coming and those little
lances they carried were about the
most painful things he knew Of By
this time he had lost all interest in
what was going on outside There was
quite enough going on inside; too much,
in fact, and more coming. He remem-
bered that Johnny Chuck digs his house
deep down in the ground. He looked
down the long hall. 1t was dark down
there. Perhaps if he went down there
these angry little warriors wouldn't
follow him. 1t was worth trying any
way.
So Peter scrambled to his feet and
scurried down the long hall and as he
ran he cried. ouch. Ouch, Oh, Oh-oo"
Those sharp little lances were very
busy and there was no way of fighting
] back. At the end of the long hall was
a snug little room, very dark, but cool
hoped. The yellow-jackets did not fol-

right near the entrance. and they were

| What dreadful fix. He ached and
snarted all over. My goodness, how
| he did smart, And to get out he would
have TO go right past the yellow-jacket
| home again. Was ever any one in a
worse fix? Then, too, he hadn't seen
what happened to Reddy Fox. He could

Peter Rabbit Doesn't Enjoy
His Joke.

All the time that Jimmy Skunk was
furnishing Reddy Fox for rolling him
down hill in barrel and that Reddy
was sneaking away to the Green For
est to get out of sight, Peter Rabbit
was lying low in the old house Of
Johnny Chuck right near the place
where Jimmy Skunks wild ride had
come to an end. 1t had been great
relief to Peter when he had seen Jimmy
Skunk get to his feet and he knew
that Jimmy hadn't been hurt in that
wild ride. Lying fiat in the doorway
of Johnny Chuck's old house Peter
could see all that went on without be-
ing seen himself, and he could hear all
that was said.
He chuckled as he saw Reddy Fox
come up and his eyes were popping
right out with excitement as he waited
for what would happen next He felt

GEORGETTE CREPE REPLACES CHIFFON
BY ANNE RIrTENHoUsE.
rial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 23.-The mills have
succeeded beyond their expectations In
the perfecting of the fabric known as
georgette crepe. 1t is now inclusively,
instead of exclusively. accepted. The
public has been wary of any thin fabric
under the name of crepe because of its
recent experiences with weaves that
lend themselves to that name. There
were seasons in which these fabrics,
highly priced, were readily bought up,
but after Aaving been weighed and
found wanting, not in the balance, but
in the laundry, women turned from
them with irritation.
The shops admitted that they were
heavy losers through the failure of
these weaves. because so many gar
ments were returned by good custom
ers and afterward considered as vast
age. Their buyers thereafter accepted
these new weaves singerly and with
out enthusiasm.
Georgette crepe. even with all Its
loveliness of texture and service, 1ell
under suspicion. 1t came out two sea
sons ago for blouses, al a time when
the transparent waist that gave the
appearance of merely a film of cloth
drawn over the body was at the height
of fashion. Chiffon cloth and net were
idea of wisp of a blouse. but georg-
cite crepe offered more durability, and
when it was found that its servlcea bill
ity measured up to its novelty, 1t was
eagerly received by the women who
were always looking for new things.

For Ailing Plants,

AS an antidote for fungus diseases as

be used frequently and when the soil is
rather dry.

Brilliancy in Girdles.

The manner in which the clever
dressmakers are introducing brilliancy
through girdles is significant The idea
should be excessively helpful to women
who are quite willing to wear thin
frocks in white or pastel shades, but
whose faces and coloring demand a
vivid note somewhere in the gown to
lift it into positiveness.
| do not believe the average woman
realizes the Importance of this new
fashion and the artistry that goes into
it. Even on a gown of simple coloring
and demure modelling there can be a
splashing belt of gorgeous Indian en-
broidery with two ends in front from
which dangle rings of green, scarlet or
yellow crystals. or Chinese tassels in
varicolored silks, strung with beads

Reached Upward to Frocks.

After the fabric gave two seasons of
service in the way of blouses it reached
upward as a rival to chiffon for after
noon frocks. Several admirable gowns
have been recently worn that prove
that this weave of crepe had right to
remain among the smart fabrics.
There is still immense amount of
chiffon-or chiffon cloth as it really is
used for morning and afternoon
frocks. but women feel that georgette
crepe presents a newer net Now and
then it is combined with crepe de chine.
which has been revived to meet the
demand for excessively thin materials
that will lend themselves to the pleats
and furbelows and ruff1es of the hour.
Again, there are gowns in which the
combination of georgette crepe and
satin is used, but several smartly
dressed women are discarding the 9TH
er materials and making whole frock

wedding.
of bands, and these are methodlcally
touched up at the side with large ro-
settes of ribbon. The bodice is mounted
over flesh-colored satin and the lower
part of IT is entirely of silver lace.
The crepe itself is formed like a small
Zouave jacket and the armholes of this
extend a little over the long, small
sleeves of crepe which fare over the
hand to the knuckles and are slashed
at each side and lined with silver lace
