The tangible point" said Or. Ham
mann. was that Germany declared her
readiness 10 communicate her peace
conditions in conference with her ad :
Nersaries. Tho entente has declined
this proposal To me 1t seems evident
that tho entente. when doing this. felt
seriously concerned and greatly de-
pressed on account of tho impression
this refusal Of the German peace offer
must make on the neutral world.
This is clearly indicated by the tone
Of tho entente note.

Ribbons on Hats.

Ribbons are in high favor for hat
trimmings. A very smart sport or
street hat that any woman could du-
plicate is trimmed with landings of
the bright checkered and striped rib
bon usually used and originally de-
signed for watch ribbons. A green and
black design was chosen to trim a black
hat. The ribbon was cut in six pieces
long enough to go once around the
crown, and there to turn in a fat bow
with one loose end of two or three
inches.
Three of the pieces of ribbon were
applied with their greenest side out
and the other three with the side hav-
arranged up the side of the crown with
spaces of quarter Of an inch between,
leaving the hat showing. The ends of
the ribbon all neatly turned and left
hanging at the left side Of the hat
made a simple but effective fantasy.
An effective new hat is made entirely
of narrow ribbon mounted on buck
ram frame. 1t is of white, and has as a
sole ornament a big and colorful bit of
straw and bead work. plastered fiat
against the front of the crown. The
ribbon is fastened on the frame in one
long strip and each ring of it slightly
is much used on the new hats and a
good way to give an effective finish
to a walking hat is to superimpose a
narrow band of ribbon on wider one
of contrasting color about the crown
of the hat.

FASHIONS

The sketch shown illustrates num-
Der of worthwhile southern resort or
summer style suggestions. The hat and
bag are made of a soft braid. Wen
chow is admirable, and inasmuch as 1t
is popular in the development of sport
hats it is recommended. The bag Is
really another hat, but draped and held
together with ribbon drawstrings, so
that very roomy and certainly very
fetching bag for holding knitting, fancy
work, etc, is the result. Both hat and
bag are faced with silk or satin in a
color contrasting with the braid. and
black velvet ribbon serves excellently
as a decoration, and to hold both hat
and bag in place.
The smart little sport blouse is a slip
-the-head model, developed in
linen. with collar, cuffs and pocket
facing of pique. To make this blouse
two and a half yards of material thirty
six inches wide will be required.

it to his hearts content. So the very
day after Peter tried to visit Paddy
what did Farmer Browns boy do but
decide that he. too, would pay Paddy
visit. At least he would visit the pond
and the dam and the house. He didn't
really expect to visit Paddy himself,
because he knew that Paddy probably
would be where he couldn't be seen.
So Farmer Browns boy fastened
small ak to his belt, whistled to Bow
ser the Hound and together they start
ed off through the Green Forest for the
pond Of Paddy the Beaver. Passing
through the Old Orchard they were
erected by the CHEEKY voice of Tommy
Tit the Chickadee and Farmer Browns
boy stopped to whistle to him as he
always does. He saw Yank Yank the

a glimpse of Chatterer the Red SPUR

Forest he didn't see living thing save

The skirt shows the barrel silhouette
in modified form. The widths are cut
quite straight. and the hip flare is ar
rived at by light boning, several rows
of stitching further accentuating the
flare.
Whether or not one admires the bar
rel silhouette or plans to adopt it,
there is no escaping the fact that it has
arrived, and 1t must be considered. Sep
arate skirts are offered by designers,
showing exaggerated interpretations of
the barrel silhouette. Some are so mar
row at the hem that walking is difficult
while the hips bulge horribly. Inasmuch
as separate skirts, however, find their
greatest demand among athletically in
clined women. it is not likely that this
new silhouette will be as popular in
separate skirts as it will be in dresses,
II it is popular in anything, which is
still an unsettled question.
To make the skirt shown, two and a
half yards of material thirty-six inches
wide will be required. 1t measures two
yards wide at the hem.

not so sure about that. Your eyes and
your ears may not tell you if anybody
is about, but just you trust to my nose.
l really expect it to find somebody be-
fore we get back"
Now, as a matter of fact, they were
not so much alone as Farmer Browns
boy thought. Sammy Jay had seen
them enter the Green Forest and in
that sly, silent way of his he was fol-
lowing them, taking great care that
they should not see him. He wanted to
know where they were going and what
they were up to. AS they passed lit
tie hemlock tree whose branches were
very close to the ground Jumper the
Hare peeped out at them and didn't
move. although Farmer Browns boy
looked straight at him and miStook him
for little heap of snow. for Jumper
was wearing his coat of pure white.
Bowser would have discovered him
right away had he happened to sniff
under that particular little tree, but he
didn't and so Jumper sat perfectly still
and when they had passed he chuck
led to himself.
There's nothing quite like sitting tight
For one who would keep out of sight,
said he to himself.
Farmer Browns boy and Bowser the
Hound reached the pond Of Paddy the
Beaver without having seen anybody
and without Bowser having smelled
anybody. They went right straight
across the ice to Paddy's house. Bow
ser just shifted around it and then went
over to the shore. He wasn't interest
ed in houses. But Farmer Browns boy
spent great deal of time studying that
house and the way in which it was
built. and the more he studied it the
greater grew his respect and admira-
ton for Paddy the Beaver.
Il suppose the little rascal is in there
now" thought Farmer Browns boy. st
wish I could see the inside of it. I'd
like to chop it open, but that wouldn't
do at ALL 1t would be mean and cruel
thing to do. ! wonder what he does. if
he sleeps most of the time or if he is
awake enough to know what is going
on. I wonder if there should be a hole
in his dam and the water should run
out how long it would be before he
would find it out and what he would
do about it. I've half mind to find
out"
Farmer Browns boy walked over to
Paddy's dam and stood looking down at
it, thoughtfully.

OF Interest TO Women
NEW CAPE COAT COMES FROM PARIS
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The star
NEW YORK, February 10.-Women
who are looking forward to spring
clothes must keep two things well IN
mind: That the separate skirt, as well
as the one-piece frock, will again be
brought into street usage, and that the
three quarter topcoat Will be the sub
stitute of long fur coats.
To many minds this way of dressing
is more appealing than the traditional
coat suit with its wash blouse. The
experts doubt that the effect of the
former will always be as good as the
latter for so much liberty of choice is
allowed in costume that is made up,
haphazard, of three garments, the
coat, the skirt and the blouse, that
women appear to be carelessly put to-
gether.
Gift for Choosing Clothes.
The smart woman. she who has an
innate genius for choosing the right
cut of garment, the right composition,
the correct assembling of colors. can
take up any phase of costumery and
make herself look extraordinarily well
in it; but this type of woman is mile
stone among hundreds of others. The
gift of dressing right is given to
woman as the gift of painting, sing
ing or writing. OF course. after mucn
labor. vast expense and the advice OF
a jury of her peers, woman may sue
coed in looking well dressed. but that
is far different matter from possess
ing that intuitive faculty which helps
one, without effort. TO avoid al the
things that are contrary to ones nsure
and personality. and instinctively to
reach out for what one can wear and
show off at it's best.
This is a high order of gift. 1t solves
many veXatiouS problems for the wom-
an who possesses it: it keeps her from
much of the effort and tangle and COM
plexity of costumery and therefore
of life.
The strictly mann>-l suit which has
been dubbed the American uniform,
was not invented to keep women from
looking like patchwork quilts. but it
was accepted as performing this duty
and it is possibly to this acceptance
that we owe its continuity as a
fashion.
The topcoat and the separate skirt.
however, have made serious inroads on
the coat and skirt of plain material 1t
was thought by the experts that the
spring might see a return to plain one
piece frocks and a lessening of the
popularity of the topcoat, but evident
ly, this is not to be t~,e case. The sep
arate skirt has come into being
through the fashion of the topcoat. 1t
promises to share places with the one
piece frock. The shops along all the
main thoroughfares are filled with
these two garments. the new, short
topcoat and the new, narrow separate
skirt
France, however. is putting emphasis
upon the cape this season. Nine. Pa
quin insisted upon it as early as last

by wearing this garment herself.

Sits made for the arms. These open
ings are ornamented with bands of
stitchery, and the same method of
trimming is used around the cape to
outline the hips. The collar is one
that will grow in fa>HTon as the warm
weather comes. 1t 70 a difficult one to
cut, but it shares in distinction with
the Charles the First collar made in
white satin. but minus the Van Dyck
points at the edge. The skirt worn with
this jersey coat is of dark blue satin.
This fabric is no longer kept for the
occasions of life. Blu, has come into
high fashion for sports, for separate
walking skirts and even for petticoats.
