Peter Rabbit made it rule to try
to call on Big Tom every day to in
quire If he had had any news of Mrs.
Gobbler You remember that Mrs.
Gobbler had disappeared in the most
mysterious way, leaving Big Tom very
lonesome and disconsolate 1t was
partly on this account that Peter tried
to call on Big Tom every day. He
hoped these visits would make Big
Tom less lonesome. And always Big
Tom seemed glad to have him come.
AS for what had become of Mrs.
Gobbler no one seemed to have the
least idea. Peter asked every one he
met, but none could tell him anything
about her and none besides himself
appeared to be interested You see.
most of Peters neighbors had so MANY
family cares just then that they had
no time to think of the affairs of
others. So Peter did a lot of looking
here and looking there without finding
any trace of Mrs. Gobbler. He strongly
suspected that Old Man Coyote could
tell something about that strange dis
appearance If he only would. but these
suspicious were swept away when bv
chance he overheard Old Man Coyote
asking Sammy Jay if he knew what
promising to find out if he could.
Then Peter suspected Reddy Fox.

I Given all these conditions. therefore,

to be worn on stout figures, without

BLOUSES OF WHITE WASH SATIN.

Special Correspondence of The Star.

D
y NEW YORK, September 1.-THE shirt
swaist is a symbol of the American wo-
man throughout all the lands in which
u Americans travel. One piece frocks
|, may come and go: Russian blouses may
i be held up as the first fashion; the
, Jacket and skirt sewed together may
, be heralded Frances newest combi-
\ nation in costumery, but the shirt
waist goes on forever. 1t takes rank
/ with underwear. with shoes and stock
|. ings, with bread and potatoes, with
windows and doors in houses. Moth
! ing dims it's usefulness. Nothing stales
its appeal. Women who should never
! allow the world even to imagine that
they have a waist line will mark it out
with emphasis by adding white
shirt waist to a skirt of another color
Or another fabric.
There may be reduction through diet
or exercise in order to make the figure
as slim as a shad. but after spending
a1ll this money and time to obliterate
the waist line n woman will thought
lessly cut her figure in two by wear
ing that symbol of American costum-
ery the separate shirt waist.
