FASHIONS

Variety in the blouses that go to
make up part of any woman's summer
wardrobe is limited only by the in
genuity of the designer. Waist length
and peplum models are both seen in
large numbers and. both are correct.
Sheer and heavy fabrics are used with
equal frequency. Tailored and dressy
models have their following.
In the development of the latest pep
lum blouses sashes play an important
part Cotton net has been added to the
this type. and dainty pepium blouse
of fine white cotton net recently noted
was finished about the bottom with
hand-run tucks, the upper part being
embroidered in a sketchy design with
heavy soft cotton thread. The blouse
was loosely caught in at the waist with
a sash of soft taffeta ribbon in color.
Still another model featured a double
sash. one section being drawn straight
around the waist and fastening with a
fiat single loop bow at the back, while
the other sash was caught in front at
the bust line, and was drawn loosely
over two straightforward panels on Ell
ther side of the blouse, fastening be-
low the waist line in the back with a
soft loop and end bow.
For this last blouse georgette and
net were combined.
However, the rou@d waist-iength
blouses are fully as popular, and. to the
majority of figures. vastly more becom-
ing. than the peplum models.
Two clever little blouses are shown
in the sketch.

Sammy Jay Brings Danny a
Message.

Peter Rabbit felt as IL Nanny Meadow
| Mouse was almost as good as found.
I've got a pair of the sharpest eyes
of which I know looking for her. and
back of those eyes are wits as sharp
and clever as any on all the Green
Meadows or in all the Green Forest. II
Sammy Jay can't find her, then some
thing surely has happened to her"
said Peter to himself, as he hoped this
way and that way from bush to bush
and bunch of grass to bunch Of grass.
looking for Nanny Meadow Mouse.
What Peter said about Sammy was
quite true. His eyes and his wits are
of the sharpest Furthermore, there is
nothing he SO enjoys as using them.
He dearly loves to try to find out the
secrets of others. 1t isn't SO much mis-
chief that leads him to go spying and
shopping around as it is the love of
testing his eyes and his wits against
those of his neighbors SO when Peter
Rabbit told him about Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse he made up his
mind. even before Peter suggested it,
that he would find Nanny. When he
Sammy few over to the Big Hickory
Tree to do little thinking.
Now, right there is one great differ
ence between Peter Rabbit and Sammy
y.
my thinks ahead. BY that I mean that
Peter does things as they pop into his
head, and then later looks back and
thinks how he might have done differ
emily and much better. This Is what is
called being im-pul-sive. Sammy Jay
doesn't do things this way. 1t is very,
very seldom that Sammy is i'm -pul-sive.
He does a lot of thinking before he
acts. He plans ahead. So while Peter
Rabbit is forever heedlessly poking his
Jay usually manages to avoid 1t.
Now, Peter started looking for Nam
ny Meadow Mouse without any real
plan at all. He got as far as the edge
of the cornfield. decided it was of no
use to look there, and turned back the
way he had come. just as Danny Mead
ow Mouse had done. Sammy Jay first
flew to the Big Hickory Tree and
quietly thought the whole thing over.
What would I have done If I had
been in Nanny's place." thought he Il
might have worried a little about
Danny. but I would have known that
he was quite able to take care of
himself. AS soon as I knew that he
couldn't be found l would start for my
old home. That would be the sensible
thing to do. That is just what Nanny
has done. That is where she and
Danny had started for, and she has
gone straight there. thinking that
Danny will have sense enough to do
the same thing"
Sammy spread his blue wings and
started for the place where Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse used to live on
the Green Meadows. He didn't waste
any time looking for Nanny on the
way. When he got there he flew very
low, so as to see better. Presently he
saw little movement of tangled dead
grass. Sammy's eyes danced.
Welcome back to the Green Mead
ows. Nanny Meadow Mouse" he cried.
There was no answer. nor did the
