like doing anything at all. But in this
Peter was mistaken. To try to comfort
and cheer those in trouble is to do one
of the very best things in all the world.
AS Peter drew near the edge of the
deep pit in the corner of the garden he
paused. Somehow he couldn't bear to
look down in there. He knew that Old
Mr.. Toad cannot bear the hot sun, and
there he had been in the bottom of that
pit all the long, hot day without a thing
he could crawl under.
HE must have suffered a great deal"
thought Peter. "Why didn't 1 think to
cut some big cabbage leaves and drop
them down there for him to get under ?
How stupid l am. I'll do 1t tonight, so
that he may have them tomorrow They
will keep the sun of. My afterthoughts
are a great deal better thankmy before
thoughts"
In this Peter is not unlike great
many people. Afterthoughts are very
often a great deal better than before
thoughts. But the real trouble with
Peters thinking was that he didn't
think enough, although he tried hard
enough. If with his thinking he had
remembered things which he had found
out it would have saved him some
worry regarding Old Mr.. Toad. But he
didn't think back, and so he quite for
got that Old Mr.. Toad could dig him
self right down quite out of sight in
the sand at the bottom of the pit and
so get out of the sun.
Carefully Peter crept to the edge of

the pit and looked down In. It was
still quite light. for jolly. round. red
Mr.. Sun had not long disappeared be-
hind the Purple Hills, back of which he
goes to bed every night. Peter gave
funny little gasp and then he swallow
ed hard once or twice. He could see
all over the bottom of that pit and no.
where was Old Mr.. Toad to be seen!
No, sir. there wasn't a. sign Of Old Mr.
Toad. Peter rubbed his eyes and stared
very hard. What did it mean? What
had become of Old Mr.. Toad? Where
had he gone to? Had some enemy found
him a helpless prisoner there and
caught him? That didn't seem possible
for Peter couldn't think of any one who
would dare go down in that hole or who
could get out again If they did go down.
Could it be that Farmer Browns Boy
had been over there and had taken Mr..
Toad out? Hastily Peter looked to see
if there were any fresh tracks of Farm
er Browns Boy. but he couldn't find a
single fresh track. Back to the edge of
the pit went Peter and sat staring into
it, as if he thought that by staring hard
enough he could see Old Mr.. Toad. 1t
was a great mystery-a very great
mystery. Old Mr.. Toad certainly
couldn't have climbed out himself. No
one could. The sides were too straight
and too crumbly for any one to climb
them. Peter didn't know what to think.
The more he tried to think the more
puzzled he became. Where was Old
MIR. Toad? What had become Of him?

Another pretty blouse model is of

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. October THE Amer
lean people who are ii the current
down which French fashions sweep
have always watched for the Cheruit
gowns. Naturally. in this vast conti-
nent, there are colossal segments of
people who do not know the name OF
Cheruit or the personality of the wom-
an behind the name. but, nevertheless,
they accept the fashions which she has
created.
All French clothes are duplicated In
this country in a slowly descending
scale of price and workmanship. Our
sewing machines are rapid firing guns
and they shoot forth stream of ex-
act copies of every garment brought
to this country from Paris.
So, If you happen TO be reading this
slight resume of what Cheruit has done
this autumn and say to yourself that
1t is subject of no interest to you,
will wager that the gown you choose
next week or the one you wear next
spring may be a copy of something
that came from this house on the Place
Eendome.
The French gowns are like stones
thrown into the lake of style, in the
fact that the rippleS reach the farther
most shores of civilized communities.

Cheruit Without Cheruit.

Nine. Louise Cheruit is one of the
beautiful women of Paris. and it was
her beauty and exceeding smartness
that made her power among the Pa
risiennes. She is typically French: she
bortows nothing from any other coun-
try. .Sut there is no longer a Cheruit
at Che head of this famous house.
Eadame has shown little interest. since
the war began, In the establishment
which she created and has finally sold
her interest in the place for vast sum
of money. so rumor goes. and is even
richer than she was, which is saying
much.
She retired from business once be-
fore, without selling her interests, and
she and her husband went to live in
their country house. the domestic ar
rangement of which was described thus
by a delightful Frenchman: Three
floors belong to Louis XIV and Louise
Cheruit and they are full of gold and
porphyry and purple and fine linen, and
the attic belongs to NJ. Cheruit"
During this retirement the house
did not succeed in retaining its pres
tige, so the American buyers thought,
and the beautiful Louise, as she is
called in Paris, came back to lend her
talent and personality to the re-estab-
lishment of this silver mine. Now, it
Is said. she has definitely retired. to in
dulge herself in all the pleasures that
her money Will allow when this war is
over. Boulanger and Wormser are now
at the head of the firm.
The gowns that have come from
there and are being shown this
month to the women who are search
ing for new ideas in autumn clothes
are different from one another that
1T is difficult to say whether or not the
new management has made good.
Commonplace gowns stand side by
side with gowns de luxe. Clever ideas
are ranked with old ones that have
been frequently used, and, yet, the OBJ

Peter Rabbit Doesn't Know
What to Think.

AS Peter Rabbit crawled through the
hole in the fence into the garden Of
Farmer Brown he was doing his best to
think of something to say to keep up
the spirits of his friend, Old Mr.. Toad.
You remember that Old Mr.. Toad had
fallen into a great pit in a corner of
the garden, and that all>that day Peter
had tried to think of some way to help
Old Mr.. Toad out. He had almost run
his legs off trying to find Sammy Jay
At least, that is the way his legs felt
Sammy was the only one Peter could
think of who could get Farmer Browns
Boy over to that pit, and Farmer
Browns Boy was the only one he could
think Of who could get Old Mr.. Toad
out.
