Jimmy Skunk Happens Along.

OF course, Peter Rabbit felt foolish
when he discovered that he had been
frightened by such a harmless per-
son as Slow Poke the Box Turtle.
You remember that the latter had
hissed quite like a member of the
Snake family, and it was this which
had made Peter jump and start to
run. At first ne was inclined to be
cross. but, remembering how he him
self had frightened Danny Meadow
Mouse only few minutes before.
Peter decided that 1t was best to
try to laugh at the joke on himself.
So he did his best to grin while Slow
Poke chuckled and chuckled and
chuckled. You know. it isn't often
that Slow Poke can scare anybody,
and so he made the most Of this.
"You certainly did fool me that
time" said Peter. Il expected as
much as could be to see Buffer the
Adder at least. 1 was afraid it might
be Buzztail the Rather. This was
the reason ! jumped so. I'm glad it
wasn't I'm glad it was only you.
And 1 don't mind being laughed at
when / have gained something"
Slow Poke looked at Peter Curl
ously.
'If you please. I'd like to know
what you've gained" said he. slowly.
You know everything he does he
does slowly
Knowledge" replied Peter prompt
ly I've learned something. Every
time learn something I gain knowl-
edge, and for the sake of a little
knowledge am willing to be laughed
at any time"
but I don'tEsee any knowledge"
replied Slow Poke, blinking his eyes.
Peter laughed right out this time.

It isn't to be seen;" said d ne; ,na+ Inc Inc
can hiss like a Snake, and that hiss
isn't always what it seems"
"Oh," said Slow Poke. disappoint-
edly. els that all? Why, I've known
that right along"
Peter laughed harder than ever.
He broke that laugh off right in the
middle with a startled squeal as
voice right behind him said: well.
well. well: what's going on here?"
Peter 5umped to Tbers one was side mS ana
Skunk Jimmy had a broad. grin.
'It is lucky for you, Peter" said he,
that Reddy Fox wasn't in my place.
Were you talking to yourself. Or
Just then Jimmy saw SLOW fOke.
At least, he saw Slow Poke's house
Of shell. Slow Poke himself wasn't
to be seen He had drawn in his
head and his legs and his tail and
closed the doors at the first sound
Of Jimmys voice. Out of pure mis-
chief Jimmy reached out a black
hand and turned Slow Poke over on
his back.
to Slow Poke This is the first time
I have seen him this year. I wonder
where he came from"
"Over in the Green Forest" re-
pied Peter. eagerly. II met him over
there and he came here to dine with
me-"
"How far in the Green Forest was
he when you first saw him." asked
Jimmy, with a far-away look in his
"Just up. the Lone Little Path a
short distance" replied Peter. but
it took him an everlasting long while
to get here"
Jimmy grinned again.
IT wonder you had the patience to
wait for him." said he.
1t was Peters turn to grin.
"I had a lunch and a nap while I
waited" he confessed.
Suddenly an eager look crept into
the eyes Of Jimmy Skunk. Did you
see Mrs. Slow Poke?" he asked.

Coat Worn With Separate Skirt.

The sketch shows one of these coats
made Of the prevailing weave of Ro-
dier jersey. 1t is blue and is worn
with a blue-and- -tan-striped skirt. This
coat is cut on straight lines and
has three scanty ruffles below the
waist, which is a novelty in itself.
But it is not content with just that
one novelty, for it carries waistcoat
of tan linen which fastens in the back.
There is narrow belt that does not
confine the waist; there are broad
pockets into which the hands are
thrust when one Is walking, and there
is high collar made of Lionceau.

New Weave of Jersey.

However, when Rodier. the master
weaver, makes up his mind TO assist
in a certain weave of material there
is no gainsaying him. American argu-
ment would be worse than useless,
His only answer would be that he will
provide novelties in the weave, but
the weave will go on.
And this is what happens: The
world goes on buying that weave.
He does put novelty into it: he is as
full Of caprices and flights as sum
mer swallow at the sunset hour.
Working on the same foundation. he
produces as many variations as Blind
Tom could on Home, Sweet Home"
At this moment he has produced
something that is extraordinarily good
to look at in the way of a new weave
in silk and one in wool The former
is more frequently seen in this coun-
try than the latter. This is probably
due to the fact that it would take a
cold climate for the wooden weave of
jersey which the French have adopted
it is said, will be exceedingly fashion,
able when the Deauville season opens
on the coast of Normandy, as it is ex-
pected to do on the 1st of August.
-France is brave, you know, in more
ways than on the battlefield, and she
has made up her mind that she will
attempt to create the same atmos
phere of success and cheerfulness in
her summer resorts as was found
there before 1914.
If the Deauville season opens on the
1st of August. as is now promised.
the observers in Paris insist that
these new weaves of silk and wooden
jersey by Rodier will dominate the
fashions. If enough of our buyers go
abroad to take advantage of this sea-
son, American trade will naturally
be given an impetus in it's adoption Of
that heavy woolen jersey which re-
sembIes thick homespun.
AS for the silk weave, it is with us.
We have coats of it more than frocks.

SILK JERSEY, IS A RIVAL OF SERGE

They realized that certain type of
closely woven silk jersey became an
expensive burden to bear. because it
did not last sufficiently long as first

price paid for French gowns made
of it.
This year there is a new silk weave
that commands admiration. ! know

this former silk jersey which We're

threads and sometimes touched with

of them. the fashion had dropped so
far down the scale that they sold for
