Peters Admiration Is Un-
bounded.

1t was several days before Peter Rab-
bit again got over for a call on Paddy
the Beaver. You see. Peter couldn't
be everywhere at once. Certainly not.
No one can be everywhere at once.
And there was SO much going on these
busy fall days that Peter almost ran
A great many times he wondered what
Paddy would do next now that he had
| made his pond as big as he could and
still those aspen trees were too far from
the water to be cut and hauled in
safety.
At last he found a chance to run
over to see what Paddy had been do
ing. 1t was early evening. and quite
dark in the depths of the Green Forest.
AS he drew near Paddys pond he heard
a sound that for a moment startled him.
It was the crash of q falling tree.
There was no wind. and SO that tree
could not have been blown over. Then
Peter remembered.
"Of course said he to himself. Pad
dy has begun cutting those aspen trees.
No one but Paddy or a man can cut
man in the woods at this time of day.
Besides I would have heard him chop
ping. That tree was cut down by
PADDY"
Then Peter ran faster than ever. lip

through the Green Forest and at last
came out on the shore OF the pond OF
Paddy the Beaver. No one was in sight.
He could see the roof of Paddy's house
standing out in the water. but there
was no sign Of Paddy.
Hes over among those young aspen
trees" thought Peter. and hurried on.
He ran across the top Ct Paddys dam
and around the shore on the other side
until he was nearly opposite the little
grove of young aspen trees he knew
Paddy had set his heart on having for
food during the winter. Suddenly right
in front Of him he saw little ditch
Of water. It was very nicely made
little ditch. The earth was piled neat
ly along one side. Peter knew what
it was. 1t was a canal. new canal
dug by Paddy the Beaver
Peter turned and followed that canal,
hopping along the bank. 1t led straight
toward those aspen trees. When he
reached the end he was right at the
edge of that little grove. and there.
Just as he expected. was q newly fallen
tree. and Paddy hard at work cutting
off the branches. Peter looked at Pad
dy, then at the aspen trees. and finally
at the little canal at his feet. In his
eyes unbounded admiration grew anu
grew. He understood now what Pad
dy's plan was to get the water near
enough to those trees after his pond

The skirt Is of black satin and the
top part is OF the new white Jersey
silk. which is impossible to describe
without making a woman think it is
commonplace. 1t is not woven in this
country. and France made a hit with
our buyers this season by offering 1t
as a novelty.
Paquin. Royant and all the big people
employ 1t for formal gowns. and 1t has
already been used by the most fash
ionable women in this country. who
saw that it was a novelty and jumped
at it, 1t has a soft, broche surface
and it clings to the figure like Chinese
crepe.
Well. the bodice to this black satin
skirt is made of that kind of Jersey,
and there is a square Of 1t embroid-
cred with jet which is placed like a
plaster above the waist and two tri-
angles of it that hold down the full
ness at the side. The decoIletage, as
you see. is in straight line across
the shoulders. and the back is caught
over on the front with bits of the
Jet embroidery. The sleeves are placed
in the lining and fit the arm to the
wrist, where they flare over the hand
in the now fashionable manner.

The Accepted Decolletage.

Tradition is one thing and present
fact is another. and it is evident that
the majority of American women will
accept the decolletage that is cut
about three inches below the bend of
the neck and runs away to the end
OF the shoulder
1t is seen on many of the French
gowns and the best American orig
for informal dinner frocks, and it
prevails on the one-piece frock of
serge. worsted or satin that has come
dangerously near usurping the place
Of the tailored coat suit this fall
There are ways of making this kind
OF neck outline becoming. and 1t is
vel that woman should learn them.
for she will have difficulty in persuad
ing the dressmakers to give her an
other Kind of outline at the shoulders
and she will find that the majority OF
ready-to-wear frocks and waists have
adopted the decolletage that has been
taboo in this country for SO long.
If one brings the material about two
inches higher in the back than in the
front. and if there is a slight curve
upward a the shoulder line. trans
formation for the better will be in.
Simultaneous. 1t is just this bit of
practical work that the back of this
kind of gown shall be three inches
lower than the front. and few of the
extra artistic French designers have
aided and abetted her in this sartorial
weakness.
1t seems to be quite certain that as
the winter progresses evening gowns
will be less and less decollete. and
that the Italian outline will be ac-
cepted as compromise between the
cache-nez collar and the girdle bodice.
As France Does It.
The gown which is sketched today
and which has been sent direct from
an ateiier in Paris is the best ex-
ample of this kind of frock, which is
now accented for thaaters, restaurant
dinners and afternoon occasions of
gayety and hrilliancy. and it is well
that woman should. look upon 1t
with interest and desire to initiate.
Each feature of it brings out an ac-

In France all-black evening gowns
with sleeves and trimming of net or
shadow lace of the same hue are much
in vogue. They have the advantage of
being generally becoming and of being

Des Moines Editor Suggests
Such a Plan, but Some
Grand Forks Men do Not
think it Practicable-Ot 9th
ers Think Scheme is Very
Good-Commercial Club
Busy on Other Plans.

Attention today was called to a
news dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa,
saying hat E. Meredith, the editor of
a farm journal in hat city, is sponsor
for a movement to make all men
throughout the country devote their
vacation periods to some kind of work
in the interests Of the nation, and he
especially pointed out that vacation
lists be very useful doing farm work
or %eXertinG their efforts in behalf of
the food conservation movement or
gathering of clothing for some charit-
able purpose.
1t was said that Frank Rorke, Of
the North Dakota branch Of the New
York Life Insurance company, for
carry out plans along these lines, so
that, at best, the Iowa editor is not
the originator Of the idea.
When seen today Mr.. Rorke said
that while it was true he had been
interested in such a plan, he had been
given to understand that the CONNER
cial club had taken the matter up.
Upon receiving this information Mr.
Rorke decided that an organization
like the Commercial club had far bet
ter facilities for carrying out the
work than any individual and he
therefore let the matter drop as far as
he personally was concerned.
- L
Says Plan is Impracticable.
G. w. Graves, secretary Of the
Commercial club, said today that his
organization was not working specific
ally along the lines suggested.
The fact of the matter isl said Mr..
Graves. that just now we are con-
centrating all our efforts upon plans
which will benefit and help the nation
and u government. All the
cial clubs throughout the country are
erecting a war organization which
will work out a practical and syste-
matte policy under the supervision,
more or less direct, of the authorities
at Washington.
A far as this particular vacation
work plan is concerned, I don't take
much stock in it. In the first place. I
am inclined to believe, on the face of
the information, that the good editor
IN Des Moines is trying to secure a
little gratis advertising, and, in the
second place, everyone will easily see
that the plan is impracticable because
persons who come from factories and
offices and spend a couple Of weeks
doing farm work may not, be just the
kind of workers the farmers want.
There are a number of movements
cropping up just now, and the public
should beware lest it be misled, for it
must be remembered that we are liy-
