Peter Has to Laugh at Him

| If ever in all his life Peter Rabbit
was sure Of a thing he was sure that
that dark gray form he had seen van
| ish under an old log not far of was a
Mole. 1t wasn't big enough to be
Miner himself. but it, might be one Of
his children. and Peter was certain,
absolutely certain it was. That is why
he had SO fatty and impolitely contra
dieted Happy Jack Squirrel when the
latter had said that it was Short Tail
: the Shrew. Not even when sharp
squeaky voice from under the log ask
ed what Happy Jack and Striped Chip
'nunk were laughing at, and Happy
Jack replied that they were laughing
at Peters long time mistake, did Peter
believe he. was wrong.
"They are laughing because I said
that you are a member of Miner the
Mole's family cried Peter. Come
on out and show yourself and then
Well laugh at them"
At that Happy Jack and Striped.
Chipmunk laughed harder than ever
and from under the log log came
sounds which were suspiciously like
high squeaky laughter.
Yes, do come out" cried Happy
Jack DO come out just for. fun and
see who will do the laughing

asked the sharp squeaky voice.
IF it wasn't do you suppose would
be sitting out here in the open?" de-
mapded Striped Chipmunk. =,
1T is pretty bright out there. You
know I don't like the sun. I don't
like it at ALL" complained the sharp
squeaky voice.

about him I've seen him so often

You're nothing but a Mole anyway"

form Peter had seen vanish under the

Peter and Chartered angrily. Abruptly
Peter sat up and his mouth dropped

Use the Apple Crop.

No ful1-blooded true American has
to be asked twice to help use up the
apple CROP because the fact that the
crop is abundant will doubtless keep
the price comparatively reasonable,
and any fruit so good as apples that
is not high in price will naturally
appeal to US.
Anyway, it is estimated that there
are to be in the United States almost
five million more barrels of apples
Any one with a mind for statistis
might find out just how many more
apples each one of us could have be-
cause of this great bounty of nature.
Now, don't imagine that apples al
raw. Of course, they don't and you
can serve apples several ways SO
that they take the place Of a. vege-
table in winter. Fried apples are de-
lioious and go very nicely with bacon
sweetened apple sauce can be served
with any kind of pork. as well as
with duck and other birds. Even ap-
pies that are not designated as
sweet" apples contain considerable
sert raw or for the first dish for
breakfast we are really satisfying
our systems demand for sugar just
as much as If we were actually hav
ing white cane sugar.
There are several ways of making
apple desserts in which nearly all the
sweetening can be of corn strip. APP
pie dump1ings can be made by put
ting peeled. cored apples covered
with pie crust in pan and then
pouring over each a little corn strip.
In the pan you should uid put ut, a LITTLE, little
haste them from time to time as you
bake them.
Plain baked apples also can be
sweetened with corn strip in part or
entirely. To be sure, the flavor isn't
exactly like that of white sugar, but
it Is one that you soon get accue-
toned to. A delicious apple pudding
is made with bread crumbs, chopped
apples raisins, suet milk and corn
strip without any sugar whatever.
Most interesting of all ways of maxi
ing use of apples as matter Of war
thrift is in apple eauce cake which
has the advantage of being very mex.
pensiye and being kept fresh for a
week, because of the moisture of the
apples.

FASHIONS

The sketch shows one of the very
smart suits developed for fall. AS will
be noted. the back of this coat is rather
long, the center reaching below the
knees. The sides slope gradually up, so
that the skirt of the coat is approx
nately thirty-eight inches long at either
side front, and a vest in contrasting
fabric and color gives a real style touch
to the garment. This suit would be very
smart made OF navy velour or broad
cloth, with vest of white cloth braided
in black. Or the suit might be attrac-
lively developed in a dark red with vest
Of white braided in black or with braid
matching the color of the suit proper.
The use of vests makes it possible to
remodel a last season suit attractively
and at little expense, and certainly with
the present high prices of apparel plus
a luxury tax it is decidedly the part Of
wisdom to utilize to the best possible

stranger to Peter, and yet he knew
that he had seen Short Tail often.
That is, he had had many just such
glimpses as when Short Tail had
darted under the old log. The truth is
he never had looked sharply enough
to see that it wasn't member of the
Mole family.
For a long minute Peter stared.

EARLY FALL COUNTRY SUITS
By ANNE. R1rTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondents Of The Star.
| NEW YORK. August 31.-Before the
war began, before the flags became
the immediate symbols of death and
duty. broad combinations of red.
white and blue crept into the fashions.
| They were as much beloved for in
| terror decoration as for costumery.
The extremists brought back the red
| and white striped or checked table,
cloths for breakfast. and luncheon
| Red. white and blue bell cords. sofa
| cushions and chair coverings were
found wherever houses had a new
note in decoration.
There are critics who think that
| these blazing colors are better in a
house than on a woman's. figure; that
they are too decorative to be elegant
| when applied to flesh and blood.
There are others who think other
| wise. They do not approve of great
| splashes of red, white and blue. but
they find that bits of embroidery.
| buttons. cords. tassels and hat trim
| mings in this combination give an
enlivenins note to any costume.
killiners Tried Out Combination.
The woman who first wore a jockey
cap of broadly striped red and white
satin with a dark blue satin visor
was excessively daring, but a delight
to the milliner who created the hat;
but few women followed in her foot
steps, for it takes extraordinary
bravado and skill to carry off an ex-
treme fashion. especially one that
smacks of the chorus, rather than the
drawing room.
However, the combination led MILL
ners to take up other methods Of en-
ploying the colors. Red, white and
blue cords were twisted around the
crowns of hats; Indian motifs in
these colors were embroidered and
applied to straw or satin.
When the war broke out, the colors
burst .ort in jewelry, and today women
wear red. white and blue service pins.
enameled hat pins. ruby, diamond and
sapphire bracelets and rings.
However. it was left to the sporty
people really to introduce the colors
into costumery in an effective manner.
In the open, women can wear splash
ing colors- and not offend the land
Scape. Red, white and blue can be
thrown together in. sports costume
with as much daring as though the
work were being done for interior
decoration. and it does not require an
exceptional woman to: carry off such
costume when she is sitting on the
porch of country club, or watching
sports from the bleachers, or trailing
round through summer resorts.

urgent necessity to secure volunteers
for foreign service in the American
Red Cross, as follows:
"Situation now such that every
fairly intelligent American man or
woman, with right spirit and un-
questioned loyalty, can be utilized;
put extreme pressure upon locating
and sending all who have been asked
for and more; you cannot send too
many and there is work for all who
come; in fact, this matter is sc vital
that YOU may think it necessary to

will devote their entire attention to

timentality" Of all rules of war die
tated by chivalry, honor and gener-
osity to the enemy, and they contrast
it with the war manuals of Great Bri-
tan, France and United States, which
are declared to be "the very opposite
Of the German in the law which their
governments have laid down for their
armies to observe in their dealing with
the enemy"
The German war manual was pre-.
pared by the German general staff and
was first issued in 1902. ut would
seem," say Professors Scott and Gar:
ner, "from the way in which most OF
the Hague provisions are denounced,
ridiculed and sneered at, that the real
reason for issuing revised instructions
was to counterfeit any influence which
these provisions might have been ex'
pected to have upon German military
officers, through Germany's having
ratified the Hague treaties" The Ger
man war manual is shown to be the
text book Of that philosophy which
has expressed itself in the form Of
"frightfulness" in Belgium, Poland
Servia, Armenia and wherever Ger
man officers have held sway" This
booklet shows that the brutality
ruthlessness, terrorism and violence
of the German forces have been cold
bloodedly planned for years by tn
German military authorities. 1t show!
that it was the wholesale violation by
Germany of the most sacred stand
