1t was all very interesting to Peter

over that tail. or rather over the use
Bowser made of it. If Bowser hap

Farmer Browns boy passed he thumped
the ground with it. If he happened
to be standing he wagged it from side

Peter never could make out what it

Bowser's tail humping the ground he

Peter Grows Curious About
Sooty.

Now, up to the time that Johnny
Chuck had informed Peter Rabbit that
Sooty the Swift was not Swallow at
all Peter had not been the least Curl
Gus about Sooty. But the minute he
found that he didn't know as much as
he supposed he did about one of his
neighbors whom he saw every day in
his life in summer, he just bubbled over
with curiosity. He asked questions so
fast that Johnny Chuck suddenly de-
cided that 1t was time to go to bed. He
dived down his long hall. leaving Peter
sitting alone on his doorstep, and the
last thing he heard as he curled up in
his snug bedroom, way down in the
ground. was Peters voice asking wist-
fully, please, Johnny Chuck, where does
Sooty ive?"
But that was a question that John
ny left unanswered. and after little
Peter made up his mind that there was
no use in staying there. So he left

belt with bright buckle or clasp. Two
yards of any material thirty-six inches
wide would be sufficient for this little
blouse.
The lower. sketch illustrates a blouse
of satin. the sleeve frills and overlay
collar being Of georgette crepe. 1t may
be noted that many yoke effects are seen
on the seasons smartest blouses. and the
low shoulder yoke in the sketch is
especially smart. The blouse buttons SIM
ply and frankly in front.
To make this blouse two yards OF satin
thirty-siX inches wide and half yard
of georgette will be required.
Broad striped taffeta is correctly used
this season for some of the smartest
sport blouses seen. In selecting a blouse
of this type. or the material for such
blouse, the wise woman will see to it that
the predominating color in the stripes
blends with or matches the suit with
which she intends to wear the blouse.
One of the prettiest and most popular
waist trimmings at present is embroidery
carried out in glass. porcelain or wooden
beads. This type of decoration is par
ticularly effective on georgette.

Fashion Paragraphs.

In spite of the fact that fashion seems
to consider only the young girl in de-
signing the frocks she offers to the
world nowadays-that is the plant
against fashion, you know-it is, never
theless, true that never before were
ready-made clothes offered in special
sizes and designs for women of differ
ent ages and sizes. There are, for in
stance. special clothes for stout wom-
en- and special frocks for small women.
too. in some shops. And now some of
the French designers even design spe-
cial models for the small woman.
Blouses in basque style are shown to
wear with coat suits.
The cape. a dominant influence Of fashion
at the moment has entered the realm of
negliges and many charming combina-
tions of tulle and lace and satin in cape
like models are seen.
Some Of them are trimmed with narrow
lace on collars and cuffs and sometimes
buttons Of crochet are used.
Black and white. in the form Of checks
and in other combinations. are used in
autumn models.
