Peter Decides That Things
Are Wonderful.

When Welcome Robin told Peter
Rabbit that many Of his feathered
friends travel ut night on their way
to the sunny southland Peter remem-
bered that no had been told some
thing of that kind before. But he
couldn't remember Just why it was
that these little travellers chose the
night for their long journey. So right
away he was full Of questions. 1t was
fortunate for him that Welcome Rob-
in was feeling very good natured.
"You see" explained Welcome, "a
great many Of the little feathered
people go . very. very great dis

Peters eyes popped out, and his

Peter nodded. o." he began.

Again Peter nodded. my. but

waiting for a reply. he added, But
why do the feathered folk travel at

ever so much easier to travel by day.

, Now wasn't that just like Peter Rab-
bit to be thinking of what he could
see? I'm afraid If Peter was to try
to spend the winter in the sunny
southland he never would get there.

often to see things.

FASHIONS

There are two distinctly different
types Of blouse, the suit blouse and
the costume model. This fact should
be borne in mind by the woman who
is selecting or making her blouseS for
the season. The best selection in a
suit blouse is one that is wais. length
only, and that is developed in a color
to match or blend with the suit it is
to accompany. Sleeves are usually
close reefed, so that the suit coat may
be slipped on comfortably over them,
and the collar may bee high or open,
according to choice.
The oval neck finished with the soft,
slightly rolling collar christened the
horse" collar is one of the favorises,
due no doubt to the fact that it is
almost uniformly becoming.

OfLnfereSf TO Women
THE JAPANESE KIMONO GOWN

taken as an inspiration fof our winter
| clothes, it does not meau the klminc
as 1t was used last spring even BY the
best designers. It means the bias line
across the chest. it is true; the wide
sleeves, faring at the hem; the tight,
| draped line around the ankles which
produces short steps, and the zex-
quisite and complicated form OF dra-
perry at the hips. 80: =
Materials Widen at Hips.
It is this genuine Japanese cos
! tune that inspires this new WIDEN
ing of drapery at the hips to accen-
tuate the narrowness at the ankles.
The ultra designers get at it through
different means. and none Of them
| really copies the original Japanese idea,
except In some few extreme gowns
that are worn by very slender women.
They achieve the Japanese idea by
pulling the drapery out In a kind OF
pocket just below the hips around the
part of some thin. ornamental mate
rial that enables them to get a de-
cided fabric contrast at the hip line.
! in order to draw the attention OF the
observer to the new silhouette.
There are black velvet gowns that
| which have black lace tops over sill
yer cloth or black chiffon. and they
disappear under this skirt drapery
of black chiffon or satin which stands
out like immense pockets below the
hips.
Usually the designers keep the
Japanese kimono in view by tapping
| the skirt in front SO that one side of
| 1t flaps as the wearer walks. None of
| them uses the Japanese girdle with the
immense bow, but they dos use the
japanese collar. which stands by and
| back of the neck: or they suggest it
by surplice bands Of brilliant orna-
mentatiOn.
They Embroider in Jet.
AS far as these gowns, have gone
| there is no attempt to give to them
any Japanese coloration- Superb en-
broideries, crests, armorial bearings
and landscapes are not worked out in
floss or metal. The gowns are more
| subdued than anything Japan has
| even seen. When there is embroidery
it is usually of jet.
This type of handiwork has grown
powerfully since it was introduced
last year. It is now used on serge and
satin frocks for street wear in a way
/ that causes little attention, and yet
| you may remember that when the
! first serge frocks came out embroid-
cred with jet we thought the world of
| apparel had gone topsy-turvy. 1t is
so easy to adjust ones self to any
| change!
/ The gown which Is sketched today
is. taken from japanese costume and
! is made up in such sober fabrics that
it would not appeal to any japanese
woman, unless she thought she was
wearing something French. The lower
skirt is Of black satin Tapped over in
| outstanding pockets on the hips and
reaching with this drapery to the
middle of the belt in front, which is
a strong Japanese movement of fab
ric. The upper part of the garment is
of black net embroidered in jet roses
| and it is mounted over black chiffon
! and banded with surplice strips of Jet
which disappear under a slight girdle
! of black satin that has pink rose at
j the side.

BIG PHILIPPINE SUGAR CROP
Modern Machinery, supplantlne Hand
Labor. Results In Planting Of
Immense Acreage.

The Philippines are like most Of the
sugar cane growing regions In that .he
available labor supply ls comparatively
limited. To over =. me this. the tractor
and modern power machinery Is being
introduced. As this does not pay on
the small plantations. the custom IL
for one organization TO operate sew
eral hundred or thousand acres, and a
weIi-orgHnlzed system Is involved
throughout the year. L~dbor-saving de-
Vices ARE employed wherever possible.
The first process In harvesting sugar
cane Is stripping the leaves from the
stalks, an operation requiring much
time and labor, ns this must be done
by hand. A cnne knife or bolo Is used
by the native lnborer. who passes the
knife down each side OF the cane,
knocking of and throwing them into
the middle of the row, where other Ia.
borers pick them up and load them
to be hauled TO the mill.
Sugar zane milling under modern
methods may be divided into four es-
sentlal processes, namely. the extrnc-
ton OF the Juice from the cane, the
Qualification Of the juice by boiling, the
evaporation Of the Juice so Ms to re-
duce the sugar to the crystalline form,
and the freeing Of the sugar from
Impurities. The most modern ma
chlnery for all operations Is fast being
Installed throughout the Philippine Is
lands, and American consumers may
look forward 10 securing the bulk Of
their sugar from these distant dots
on the Pacific, which owe their de-
velopment 10 American capital and
American leadership.
