The Result of Peters Watching

The result of Peter Rabbits fool
search Tor the nest Of or Mistah Buz-
card was a stiff and aching neck from
tipping his head back so long in order
to look up in the trees. The next day
however. the ache was gone. but his
curiosity was not. 1t was greater than
ever. So Peter scampered. lipperty-

Green Forest to try his new plan OF
watching or Mistah Buzzard
1T can't fail" thought Peter. No,
sir it can't fail. All l have to do is to
be patient. OF Mistah Buzzard is
bound to visit his nest. and if watch
him, why, of course, I'll find out where
that nest is. Anyway. III find the To-
cality, and then it will be easy enough
to find the nest, because such a great,
big fellow as or Mistah Buzzard must
have a great. big nest. and a great. big
nest cannot very we'll be hidden
So Peter made himself comfortable
in a little tangle of briars on the edge
of the Green Forest. where he could
look up in tho blue, blue sky and
watch or Mistah BuZzard sailing round
and round. Now, as everybody knows,
or Mistah Ruzzard spends much Of his
time doing this very thing. He will
sail about for hours. because. for him. it
is just about as easy as sitting still.

ute or two at time. Then they would
fly open, and he would look up hastily
to find or Mistah Buzzard still a speck
high up in the blue. blue sky. More
and more often Peters eyes closed for
tiny maps, and. though he didn't know
1t. those maps grew longer and longer.
At last his eyes flew open to see moth

fieecy white clouds. OF or Mistah Buz-

round high up in the blue, blue sky.
He had come down while Peter was
taking nap. Peter almost cried with
blame but himself. He knew that If
he had kept his eyes open he would
have seen or Mistah Buzzard some
down. But he hadn't, and SO he was no
wiser than before.
Peter called himself names Yes,
sir, he did just that very thing. He
was so provoked with himself that he

longer" he concluded. "Tll have to try
again later in the day or tomorrow"
So Peter started for home in the
dear old Brier Patch Half way there
he glanced up in the blue. blue sky
he glanced up from force of habit. Up
in the blue. blue sky some one was
swinging round and round in great
circles. Peter stopped short and stared.
Then he grinned. 1t was OF Mrs. Buzz
zard this time. She must have come
out Of the Green Forest while Peter
was on his way home. If he had sat
still little longer he would have seen
her rise into the air and would have
known just where she had come from.
Peter turned and scurried back To his
hiding place.
This time l won't go to sleepw he
declared. 'I'll keep my eyes on or
Mrs. Buzzard If I have to stick bram-
bles into me to keep awake. I have an
idea that she won't stay up as long as

OF Interest TO Women
FOULARD IN NEW COMBINATIONS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Paris dreSsmakers introduced that soft
and alluring quality of silk known as
foulard. it was often stated in this
country that the fashion would not
gain success.
The French retorted with the argu-
ment that dotted and figured foulards
were the mainstay of American cos
tumery in other days: that it was from
this country that one expected the most
enthusiasm for that special weave OF
silk, and that as a race. we had always
shown a strong liking for the polkadot.
Then America asserted that it was
tired of foulard. 1t argued that the
silk had taken to itself. in recent
years, much of the overpopularity of
taffeta, and that if the buyers intro
duced it here this spring 1t would not
be eagerly received by those who
wanted to dress we'll. So much for the
talk. Now for the facts.

New Colors in Fou1ard.

The first foulards were in blue and
white, the usual combination. The coin
dot was larger than we were accus-
toned to seeing and the absence of the
famous little figured design was met
with approval. A decade ago. when the
manufacturers did not get very good
dyes in foulard and tradition still held
their looms to working out the printed
flower and vine. people wore the silk,
but did not consider it especially at
tractive.
Today both manufacturers and dyers
have done their best, and the only OBJ
lection that one has to a foulard frock
is the fact that it is repeated on one
out of every dozen persons one meets.
The first evidence that the large coin
dot was not especially attractive to
dressmakers was when gowns of this
material from the French houses were
draped with organdy. Then newer
ones were draped with wolfe and chiffon.
After a while foulards began to come
into the markets which We're more eX-
pensive than the ordinary weave with
the white coin dot. AS a substitute
for the vine and fig leaf of other de-
cades there was the large floral pat
tern taken from sumptuous brocades
and new. Powered chiffons.

latter three and allow the coat to swing

Yelled With Wolfe.


PRODUCING the combination of white
organdy and blue and white foulard.
This model did not meet with as much
success in March as 1T did in June.
Those who did not accept 1t in It's
entirety. built up an adapted gown
a knife pleated skirt of blue foulard,
with loose. Russian blouse Of white
organdy, belted. collared and cuffed
with the foulard. This is still con-
sidered one of the attractive frocks of
the season.
The majority of women. however.
prefer yelling foulard frock with
dark blue wolfe. This deadens the de-
sign and renders the staring white dot
vague and mist-like. The combination
of wolfe and foulard is kept for in
formal hours, but the dressma kerS now
see a way in which foulard can be
made to serve for the afternoon. This
with cream chiffon, using a weave Of
silk that is dyed in unusual colors.
The sketch shows such a frock The
foulard is in broad stripes of cream
and old rose. The skirt is made of a
separate piece of the. material. with a
coin dot border, and the selvage is al
lowed to drop at each side in order to
show a panel of the cream chiffon
skirt. There are loose sleeves of the
chiffon. q panel of the foulard at the
back and the front of the bodice, and
deep collar of the ch-sought-after
Van Dyke lace.
This idea of using a long, straight
piece of material for the skirt has met
with approval. 1t is especially liked by
amateurs. 1t is adopted for capes as
well as skirts, and some of the people
who like Lanvin's things are making
bodices from straight pieces of mate
