blouse that shows the influence of the

fabric for waists, and it is outlined
with white soutache braid. The shawl

when Sammy Jay started off to hunt
for Peter Rabbit in the Green Forest
he didn't expect the least troupie IN
finding Peter. You see, he has known
Peter so long that he knows an Of

straight to a certain bramble tangle
on the edge of the Green Forest. but
there was no Peter there Ihen ne
flew to the nearest tangle OF youhe

rests. No Peter there.
The result was the same everywhere

all of Peters familiar places and FOUND
no trace of him Sammy stopped 70

The scientists persuade us that every
thing comes in cycles. Nothing is new,
Except to the generation that sees it
This planet has set the example for a
continuous performance of contrasts.
and human nature follows the action
OF the planet.
Everything is repeated. Fashions
follow one another as do the seasons.
Twenty thousand years may be put be-
tween two glacial periods, but the
world keeps covering itself with ice
and then proceeds to thaw out.
Whatever is has been. This is an
oriental motto which it is well for
every man to make a part of his creed.
1t saves him much anxiety and gives
him hope As fashions are a part of
human nature. and as human nature
is a part OF the planet and the solar
system. there is no especial reason to
make a sharp difference between them.
1t all leads up to the fact that we may
begin to wear the hoopskirts which did
not shock our ancestors, and the i'm
mense busties which were once con-
sidered lovely and which provoked the
fnelegant attitude known as the Gre
clan bend And we may again dress
our heads in the revolving way that
was considered the height of elegance
when an Austrian was Queen of France.
These coiffures, the historians tell US,
were not opened up more than once a
month. and the result may be well i'm
agined. but il is best not to think
Of it.

The Separate shirtwaist.

Once upon a time. when this genera
zion was young, women wore long. tight
slxirts with separate shirt waists in
gorgeous cofors. in satin and silk, or
nately and profusely trimmed. When
these were abandoned. the simple sep
arate shirt waist came into existence.
For long time it was worn in public
places without a coat, then artistic
taste stepped in and made this a sar-
torial cffense.
The separate shirt waist has now
been relegated to the realm of sport or
rs a foundation for a coat suit. Under

The coat itself is perfectly plain. and

ployed for the lining of the cape. 1t

required except to "fnish' the gar

be sufficiently heavy
To make this cape seven and a half
yards of satin or other fabric thirty
