and wasted neither time nor breath

into his funny little head that what
ever he found out about Mrs. SLOW

Slow Poke seemed to be looking for
something. She didn't go in straight
line, but turned first this way ana
then that way. Every once IN
while she would stop and dig a little.
She never made much OF hole: IN
fact Peter probably never would have
noticed them but for the fact that
he saw her make them.
Now what is she doing that forT'
Peter wondered.
But he didn't ask, because by this
time he had learned that 1t was quite
useless to ask questions OF Mrs. Slow
Poke.
It was no trouble to watch her. All
Peter had to do was to sit still She
was SO slow that 1t would take her
quite a while a get out of sight. Then
in a few jumps Peter would have her
in sight again. and once more would
sit still. Mrs. Slow Poke took no no.
tice of him. If she knew that he was
spying on her she didn't show 1t. She
just went right on about her own
business as If she were quite by her
self.
Now sitting still on warm day is
apt to make one sleepy. 1t worked
Just that way with Peter. His stom-
ach was full, 1t was warm and very

Mrs. Slow Poke the Box Turtle isn't
that kind Of a person. No indeed.
Peter Rabbit soon found this out. OF
course as soon as he discovered who
she was he was fairly bursting with
desire to ask questions. There was
a lot he wanted to know. He wanted
to know where she had come from.
where she was going. If she had laid
her eggs yet. and, II SO. where, and
lots of other things.
But it was clear even to Peter that
Mrs. Slow Poke had something on her
mind and didn't propose to stop and
gossip. After answering his greet
ings she paid no attention to HIM.
She simply kept right on her way as
IL he were nowhere about. She was

TAFFETA UTILIZED IN PLEASING WAYS

1t is produced in America in great
quantities and in good colorings. Now
tnat we have achieved so much in
the way of dyeing; now that we have
really learned how to put color into
fabric so that it will not fade or wash
out, we should join hands with the
British in standing upright on our
1eet in this department of commerce.
1t is alleged that we will never need
any more German dyes. If the war
teaches US nothing else but the utili-
| cation of our resources, it will do
much, and the ability to make good
dye. to produce good fabrics and to
rely on ourselves for vast amount

are not only we'll produced in Amer
lea. but some Of them have been.
shipped to Paris in large quantities
to supply the foundation stone Of new
French clothes.
Extreme novelty in fabric still lies
in the power of the French looms. but
the workers there are wanting and
the raw materials are lacking, and
America has been sending over silks
in large quantities to supply this
need. Maybe we will continue to do
SO. Perhaps we will arrange for a
big business in fabrics with the rest
of the world. Australia and South
America have already placed their
orders here. Japan and China are
asking for much of our material.
England can use it. and there is a
vision among the commercialists that
we will be the distributing center
for the greater part Of the materials
of the world.
We produce tafreta; therefore, we
are going to use it this summer. The
dressmakers have Joined with the
manufacturers in a resolve to make
alluring frocks Of it, and women know
that it is cooler than serge and more
reliable than gingham, linen or or

The Combination Of Blue and Beige
There are braided, black taffeta
cuirass blouses to wear with separate.
pleated beige skirts of dark blue
serge. There are Joffre blue taffeta
blouses also made on the straight,
slim line from shoulder to hip. which
are braided with white and worn with
white homespun and serge skirts.
There are gowns Of black taffeta
loosely girdled at the waist with
hercules braid, and there are even
ing gowns of taffeta trimmed with
bead roses, with a high decolletage
formd by caps of colord tull.

SIGNIFICANT NOTES
OF THE FASHIONS

A writer from Paris says that the
first opening Of the two Paris salons
since the war, at which were many
art students, brought back the beret
into fashion. Some admirable exam
pies of it in straw and velvet have
already been sent to this country.
France is such an inspired country
that she needs only a touch in her
social or military history to create
new fashion and overturn an old one.
Any one over here who has been in
the camps and has seen the beret of
the French instructors. who are ap-
pointed by the French high mission.
realizes that we don't have to look to
the Latin quarter alone or to the
salons of France for our inspiration.
The milliners have brought out COL
stitute for straw. They are in bril-
liant and neutral tones. and are heap
ed with gorgeous flowers 1t is the
advent Of the trimmed hat which all
milliners have ardently desired.
There is an effort to bring in long
sleeves on all gowns. Gloves are leap
and distance of kangaroo. Soon
they will be most difficult to get. We
must either return to the Victorian
lace mitts or insist upon long sleeves
The latter is what we want The de-
signers know this and are putting
them into the new gowns. regardless
of the French fashion that calls for
short sleeves in afternoon clothes and
none in the evening clothes.
Women are also insisting upon the
oriental sleeve Of tulle, which drops
to the knuckles and floats away into
a cape effect at the back. After all,
evening gloves are a piece of most
prudish Victoranism and should have
been abandoned years ago. They de-
stroy the appearance of an evening
costume.
