While coming down Market street

Mr.. John Bell, of Castle Haven, mar
rowly escaped a very serious acct
dent. His horses, when they were
pulled into the alley between Sew

able to make the turn, with the re-
suit that they went directly into the
store of Mr.. Seward, knocking one
of the doors completely off its hinges.
One of Mr. Bells arms was slightly
injured, and his horses received a
number of bruises; otherwise, there
was no serious damage done, except
to the store.

Copyright. 1918. by T. W. Burgess,
Peter Rabbit Is Hospitable.

To be hospitable Is to make an
other feel at home in your home. You
know that. OF course you do. So does
Peter Rabbit. Peter loves to be hos
pitable, especially when it doesn't cost
him anything, which shows how very
like great many people Peter is. AS
soon as Peter discovered that it was
Jerry Muskrat who had given him
such a fright by suddenly appearing in
the dear Old Brier Patch he was so re-
Iieved that he hardly knew what to
do. You see he does not fear Jerry as
he does Billy Mink. He thumped once
on the edge of the Old Brier Patch,
know that all was we'll and that there
would be no need of leaving for the
Green Forest. Then he began to ask
Jerry questions as only Peter or some
one with curiosity equal to his can.
Jerry told all about how the rising
flood had covered and probably swept
away his house in the Smiling Pool. and
then had driven him from his castle in
the bank; how he had been carried
out on to the Big River; how Mrs.
Quack had saved him from the hunters
in the boat, and how finally he had
reached shore not far from the Old
Brier Patch.
81 didn't know it was your dear Old
Brier Patch" said Jerry. You see /
never was over here before. 1t just
looked like place to hide and so
crept in. 1 hope you don't mind, Peter. .
Mind" cried Peter. We'll, l guess
not! OF course don't mind. I'm tickled
to death to have you here. l tell you
what, Jerry, you certainly do know a
good place when you see it. You
couldn't have picked a safer place than
the dear Old Brier Patch. No harm can
reach you here"
Not even. these terrible hunters?
asked Jerry. anxiously.
Peter hesitated a bit and scratched
his head and stroked his whiskers

STREET FRoCK COMBINING NAVY
AND BEIGE TRICOTINE.

The dress shown in the sketch demon
strates what it is possible to do with
little fabric. The skirt, draped at one
side only and clinging to the figure, Is
made of navy or midnight blue tri-
cotine, while the moyen-age bodice. cut
longer on one side than on the other,
is Of beige -colored tricotine.
This is a charming street frock for
spring, and if accompanied by one OF
the graceful draped capes combining
the two fabrics, very worth-"hne
outfit will result.
Skirt and bodice of this costume may
be Joined, or it may be two-piece
kaffair. The. skirt drapery is not exag-
| 'gerated. and as will be noted, the sklrt
|.inches of the ground.
This frock. should be developed In
the material suggested or in some
other characterful wool fabric. Do
not attempt to make it of sheer silk
or satin. or the beauty of the design
will be lost.

PLANS FOR THIRD DEBATE.
George Washington Will Go to Lex.
ington. Va. April 21.

George Washington University will
take part in it's third debate of the sea-
son on the night of April 81, when the
team will go to Lexington, Va. for a
contest with Washington and Lee Uni
versity.
The first two debates of the season
were with Lafayette College. George
Washington losing one and winning
one. The team is confident that vic
tory will crown the third effort, in view
of the fact that the question is not
nearly SO difficult as the one debated
with Lafayette.
The personnel of the George Wash
ington team will be announced within
few days. 1t will probably be select
ed from among the following debaters
who took part in the first two contests:
Arthur Van Meter. Floyd B. Matthias,
Earl w. Wallick. Carlton NJ. Randall.
Herbert w. Carnell, Cleveland Cabler,
Harry Perlin and Ellis Manning.

YOUR KNITTING.

One of the things that makes knit
ting for the war a diversion as
well as duty is that the requirements
of the Red Cross and the other organi-
cations change from time to time.
Moreover, the demands from the men
at the front and in the camps change,
too. But one thing doesn't change
there is always need for as much knit
ting, of one sort or another, as we
can do.
This summer we can knit against the
coming of another cold winter. And by
autumn we ought to have a good sup
ward off discomfort and illness fof
somebody at the front or in next win
ter's camps.
Even if we knit without regard to the
various war organizations, and send
our own handiwork direct to the men
we know. we ought to keep to the re-
quirements that have been made be-
cause of the experience of the direc-
tors of the organizations. For on thing
we ought really to master the washing
of socks. For we all know that the
socks sent to men in action and train
ing must be thoroughly washed before
sending to remove injurious dyes.
1t is not difficult to wash socks, ii
we use soapy, lukewarm water, and
leave a little soapsuds-of a mild, gen
tie sort-in the rinsing water, and dry
the socks neither too rapidly nor toe
slowly. But to assist US in the drying
process, we can buy pair of wooden
sock driers for so cents. These con-
sist Of forms of wood cut the shape of a
sock, and of course a sock dried on one
of them dries in perfect shape, without
shrinking. Indeed. its original shape
may be somewhat improved upon
These driers come in different sizes.
The men at the front, you know, like
socks in which couple of bands of col
ored wool are knitted into the cuff OF
ribbed portion at the top. Don't trust te
getting out the impurities in this col
ored marking when you wash the sock
Instead, boil the wool in salted water
before knitting it into the sock, fol
not only may the dye be injurious. but
it may run and spoil the appearance o.
the sock If it is not boiled first.
The reason the men like these coloret
bands is that it makes their work o,
Identifying and mating their sock.
when they come back from the laundr.
much easier. Think of 1t, anyway. MeI

but even in finding pair of socks roll

FASHIONS


I For years it has been the custom for
American manufacturers to obtain
each season a large number. of Paris
garments and readapt them to the
needs of American. women. Paris has
always taken the lead in suggesting
possible styles. But the war has
brought American designs to the fore,
although it has by no means served to
discourage Paris artists. Now many
garments wholly American are being
shown. and the fact has been clearly
proved this country need never In fu-
ture play second fiddle.
The fact that fabrics and trimmings
are scarce. and that wool, especially,
