Buster Bear Is Hungary.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

There's nothing worse of which I know
Than hunger with no food to eat:
So do not blame poor Buster Bear.
Because his temper was not sweet.
At the beginning of winter Buster
Bear had been fat with good living all
through the fall, when there was plenty
of food. Then he had gone to sleep in
his secret den and there he had re-
manned asleep all winter. You see
therewas none of the food Buster eats
to be found in winter. You see
Mother Nature had put him to sleep
just as she did Johnny Chuck and Old
Mr.. Toad and some others. With the
first hint of the coming of sweet Mis-
tress Spring Buster awoke. and the first
thing he thought of was his stomach.
1t was so empty that 1t made him feel
hollow all over. He was thin, very
thin, indeed. l guess any of us would
be thin if we went all winter without
eating, don't you?
So soon as he could get the kinks
out of his legs Buster Bear started
out to find something to eat. But
for a while there was little to find.
Where the frost had come out OF the
ground along the edge of the Laugh
ing Brook he dug out few roots. He
even gnawed a little bark. of which
he is not at all fond What he did find
was just enough to make him feel still
more hungry, and this dreadful feeling
hunger all the time soured Busters
usually sunny temper so that he was
as cross as two sticks and everybody
who saw him kept out of his way. He
did a lot of wandering about. The
more he wandered the more likely he
was to find something to eat. And his
wits were sharp. They usually are
sharp, but now they were sharper than

ming
The double strap belt extends
straight around the back. and the
wide tabs on either side OF the waist
in front conceal pockets. Pockets are
featured on nearly all tailored spring
and summer dresses, suits and coats.
AS will be noted. this garment
shows a rather straight Silhouette
that is. while waist line is indi-
Gated, the skirt follows the natural
lines of the figure, and no exaggerated
barrel flare is evident.
The barrel skirt was largely a scare
head style feature devised early to
stimulate a somewhat tagging demand
for ready-to-wear garments. Few who
thought seriously of style development
paid much attention to 1t. Women still
cling to the straight-line garments. and
something very much more attractive
than the barrel skirt must make its
appearance before their popularity
waneS.
To make the coat frock sketched
five and a half yards of material thirty
six inches wide will be required, with
one yard Of contrasting color for collar,
cuffs. belt, etc.

The coat dress, or robe manteau, still
promises to be one of the most popu-

signers say that never has so useful
a garment been devised. 1t is both a
coat and a dress. and may also take
the place of a spring suit.

THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON
OVER THERE" MUTTERED BUSTER
ever. for you know there is nothing
like hunger to sharpen wits.
So 1t happened that the instant he
heard the voices of Blacky the Crow
and his relatives making great
racket in a distant part of the Green
Forest he sat up to listen and look
of great cunning crept into his face.
There's something going on over
there" muttered Buster. .'Blacky and
his friends have discovered something.
1t may not be anything to eat and then
again it may be. / can tell by their
and If there is no danger I better look
into the matter. Blacky has found more
than one meal for me before this Any
way I'm going to take a chance. I've
got nothing to lose and it might be that
1 will have something to gain. Good
ness knows. I hope so. That last root l
dug up is rolling around in my stomach
SO lonesome that l almost wish hadn't
eaten it. / wonder what it would seem
like to sit down to a good square meal
and really fill my stomach once more.
Gr-r-r-r! I'm hungry enough to eat
stones"
Buster dropped to all tours and head
ed toward the place where Blacky the
Crow and his friends were making such
a noise He hurried. but in spite of his
hurry and his great size Buster moved
as silently as a great DlacR STadOW. n o
one can move more quietly than great
big Buster Bear when he wants to.
Every few steps he would pause to
listen, then hurry forward again. Be
fore he got in sight of the place where
/, Blacky and his friends were the noise
ceased. This was suspicious. Buster
stopped and listened. with his head first
on one side and then the other.
Presently he heard the voices growing
fainter in different directions and he
knew that Blacky and his friends had
left the place where he had first heard
them. The excitement was all over.
Buster was undecided what to do
Finally he made up his mind to keep
| on. Perhaps he would find something
or some one to tell him what all that
| fuss was about.

oring appeals othe Americans who
get ready in May to prepare for hot

The Parisienne does not wear the

French woman is cropping in the dark

usually she is as ignorant of America
as of the interior of Africa What she

Ugly Fabric Designs.

guenity artistic invention to abolish
| this hideous tracery and bring us
something new. Such a pattern was a
part of the mid-Victorian ugliness
which spread itself over the continent
and held us in its grasp for decades.
All that was beautiful in the French
and Latin races rested where it was. 1t
did not venture to cross the ocean, and
we had no soul ventureSome enough to
go and bring ii over. We accepted what
the Anglo-SaXonS placed upon us in
lambrequins. red plush chair, wax flow
erS under a glass tube and what notS.
There We're several bits of Victorian
ism that were not ugly, such as Bristol
glass, Chinese cages with immense, col
ored parrots to give them more color,
and embroidered fire screens on which
rested bright plumaged birds. But these
beautiful features were quickly hidden
in the mass of ugly things that in
quilted us. They have been brought out
now to the attention of those who are
In search of lovely things, and proba /
bly, we realize for the first time how
desirable they were.
In another season of foulard, after
the vine and fig tree grew tiresome,
the polka dot was inaugurated. Then
foulard lapsed and was buried deep I'M
der the dust of decades.
Now it is revived, and in the polka
dot pattern. The rival to this latter
design is a cashmere shawl tracery in
the brilliant red. yellow and black Of
the oriental work.
There is multiplicity of foulard
gowns in the market today. Lanvin,
Cheruit, Paquin and Jenny are among
the masters of designing who have sent
to this country quite alluring models
that are being copied at the high
priced places and turned by the manu-
facturers into the ready-made. low
priced garments.

NEWEST MILLINERY.
Some Distinctive Points
About Spring Hats.

Following the lead established dur
ing the winter, many of the new
shapes are repetitions or adaptations
Of models built on Turkish lines in fez
effect or on the contour Of the Russian
turban. Then there are hats that for
want Of a better name are termed
Egyptian. Usually they have veil
accessory, which forms the chief trim
ming. Stsi &.'&.
The large hats maintain sailor lines.
Some Of them have rolled brim.
which may turn backward from the
face or from one side. There are those,
too, which are turned up at the back
somewhat after the manner OF the
poke. The so called Breton sailor
shows the brim OF irregular width,
somewhat narrower in front and back
than at the sides, and the brtm may be
slightly bent up almost anywhere it
proves becoming or suits the fancy OF
the pOssessor.
One must not forget mention Of the
dressy hats which are named for Marie
AntOinette. For the last four or five
years it has become the custom Of for
eign modistes to bring out II hat fiat in
shape and mounted on a bandeau which
tits the hat itself forward on the face
and presents most Of the trimming un-
der the brim at the back.
Sometimes this type Of hat has the
appellation ''shepherdess." or it may
be termed sixteenth century" or
Vatican" No matter what the off,
cial title, the hat In Its modern repre-
sentation IL suited only to the few, and
those few must take heed to wear 1t
only on special occasions with the lin
gerie frock or the dainty gown OF chit
fon or summer silk. -t.....5
Other than the Japanese and Chinese
motifs there are trimmings OF wooden
beads colored in Indian effects and laid
on in rows about the crown Of the hat.
1t Ia very likely that a lot Of the Indian
beads will reproduce the colors and de-
signs Of tho Aztec tribes. Indeed, not
few Of the patterns suggest the to-
tenn poles Of the American aborigines.
All this adds to the gayety of millinery
models as well as q historic interest If
one Is inclined that way
The mushroom shape varies the mo-
notony Of the straight brim sailor 1t
Is bit smarter and less tailored in its
suggestion. 1t Is to be had III coloretl
leghorn, sometimes combined with
georgette Grape, satin or taifeta. There
are also mushroom hats entirely Of sat
in,, with the exception Of the band,
which Is generally OF straw.

Oriental Influence.

) A toll has been levied on things Chi
nese. They are unusual and not a little
becoming. Among the Chinese novel
ties are tasseled hatpins, which are de-
lightful. For those who prefer stones
there are all sorts In jade, amber and
other substances. Vivid flowers such
as nature never produced-really bril-
liant ones-are another feature of dress
today. The substance composing them
Is left to The discretion OF the MILL
ner. but scraps Of felt, odd bits of
leather, woods and even the homely
red flannel are all employed. outlined,
it may be, with an edging of wool or
silk lii a contrasting shade worked in
blanket stitch. Another idea OF hat
decoration Is wool work in cross stitch
motifs. with Il few glass beads to give
an additional decorative touch, and the
latest notion is luminous hatpins and
medallions. f.,
