Meadows. 30 it is quite natural that
he should enjoy jumping. He Jumped
and he Jumped and he jumped for
Peter Rabbits beneflt. Peter stole
out from the dear Old Brier Patch
and sat up in the moonlight that he
might watch Nimble Heels better.
Such jumping Peter never had seen
before. and both no and Nimble Heels
became SO interested that they quite
forgot that 1t is never aafe to play on
the Green Meadows unless a sharp
watch is kept for danger.
Suddenly shadow swept over
Peter. There wasn't sound. Keen
as are Peters long ears he heard
nothing. Luckily for him he was sit
ting absolutely still at the time. Had
he moved the least tiny bit the end of
Peter would have been right then and
there. for that shadow was Hooty
the Owl.
Nimble Heels was so intent on his
jumping that he didn't see that shad-
ow at all until he shot up into air
under Hooty. 1t Is a question which
was the most surprised. Nimble Heels
or Hooty. Swiftly, but without a
sound. Hooty turned in the air and

grew sensitive to climate. One often
feels that they should have a counsel
for defense each season. and designers
and artists, who study the question,
share a mystical feeling that clothes
do share some of the events of the
world. 1t is hard to believe that they
are puppets. They often pull the
strings instead Of having their strings
pulled.
But this is philosophy and reflection.
and not the direct news OF fashions
The preamble was brought about by
the stark fact that the outside blouse,
which was designed for woman's COM
fort, was turned down cold and fiat
by Americans two years ago and is
now taking on an air Of triumph.
Reasons for Outside Blouses.
It does not seem to be in the least
inspired by its humiliation. 1t rises
to the modern battle for supremacy
with a triumphant air of never having
failed.
1 It has at last appealed to the aver
age woman as a sensible substitute
for the white wash shirt waist She
has always insisted that she cannot
wear the outside blouse with coat
suit, but her arguments have fallen
fiat this summer.
The modern waistcoat, which Is
adapted from older days, is a sleeve
less outside blouse in itself. and Paris
has made coats sufficiently long to
accommodate it, which is a turnover
from the regular routine of things.
Another reason for the comfort Of
the outside blouse is that separate
skirts are as popular as though they
had just been invented. 1t is true that
in other days we wore the shirt waist,
with it's marked waistline. with a
separate skirt, but today the popular
disapproval of that fashion Is too
widespread for any woman to attempt
1t again.

have worn these shortened tunics or

The midsummer season has brought
in a new material for them in the
way of broad plaids on chiffon. There
are also blouses Of checked taneta
and soft silk which are worn with q
skirt that harmonizes. but has no
other reason for being attached to
the blouse.
The sketch shows one of the newest
short tunics. which is worn on the
street as well az. in the house. It Is
of delft blue and white plaid in q
chiffon weave that really stands the
wear and tear Of midsummer weather.
The scarf collar. which drops loosely
over the bust. and the deep. tight
cuffs. which hold up the. leg-o'-mut-
ton sleeves. are of white chiffon trim
med with narrow lace. There Is a
black velvet ribbon belt tied in front.
The skirt usually worn with this
blouse is Of delft blue Jersey. but 1t
is also associated with a white Jersey
skirt or one Of dark blue satin.

Germany AT Last Lets People Know
Strength of u. S. Armies In France

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 24.--At last the German press
has given up struggling against the truth In short
tice which appeared in virtually all the papers, the iden
tica nature of which suggests official inspiration the
luctant admission made that Secretary Bakers figures
regarding the strength of the American forces in France
about correct
One of two papers add the lame explanation that their
former figures based the position prior to May
and that the really big shipments of men from America
began since then.
The papers comfort themselves with the thought
that of the 100000 Americans only 100000
actually in battle array with 100000 behind the front and
that the remaining 100000 etappen troops engineers
railway and general workers).
The Berlin Taeglsche Rundschau adds its own in
formation that than 10000 Americans have up
to the present been noticed on the west front.
The anxiety of the German correspondents is very
apparent nowadays to impress the home readers that the
elastc" defense in nowise mpairs German discipline
fighting spirit Thus the correspondent of the Cologne
Gazette tells of stiff fight August 16 and II west of
Roye in which the Hessans let the enemy close
quarters when under cover of machine gun fire, they
eaped out an drepused the attack in standing up fight
with volleys of rifle fire, and that likewise East Prussan
infantry beat off tank attack August II southwest
of Roye He adds that las disabled tanks counted
in front Of the lines held by Hutiers army between
August and IL.
The Cologne Volkszetungs correspondent pays an in
voluntary tribute to the efficacy of the entente pamphlet
propaganda carried by airpanes, saying that these
pamphlets "are so seductvey worded that any one who
is not we'll informed may almost if not entirely be per-
suaded."
He therefore, calls for vigorous counter propaganda
to "enlighten' doubling spirits in the army.
