Buster Finally Learns His
Lesson.

When Buster Bears nose told him
that that delicious smell of sugar was
coming from that shiny tin pail hang
ing on the tree trunk he was the most
disappointed bear that ever was. You
see he was afraid of that pail. 1t was
from pail exactly like this that he had
got that terrible burning inside when
he had gulped down the sap in which
Farmer Browns boy had put red pep
per. He had blamed it on the pail. He
now suspected every pail as some kind
of a trap.
At a safe distance Buster sat for a
long time staring at that pail and sniff
fing to get the smell Of that delicious
sugar. And all the time his mouth kept
watering more and more. You see those
little pieces of sugar he had found on
the ground were not enough to satisfy
him. Goodness gracious. no! They
simply made him more anxious than
ever to get more.
Two or three times Buster tried to
go away and forget that sugar, but he
simply couldn't do it He would go off
a little distance and then come back.
Gradually he drew nearer and nearer
to that pail, but he took the greatest
care not to touch it. Finally he was
near enough to look down into it when
ne StOOQ up On MS nlIlu legs.
What he saw made his little eyes
snap with greediness. There lay a
great big cake of maple sugar Buster
didn't stop to wonder how that sugar
came to be in such a queer place. 1t
was there almost under his nose, and
| that was enough for him Still he was
suspicious of that pail and he hesitated
to put his nose in it.
All the time his nose was being tickled
with the smell of that delicious sugar.
Finally he brought his nose as close to
| the edge Of that pail as he could with
out touching it, and took a long, hard
sniff Something besides the smell OF
sugar went up his nose Buster jumped
back so suddenly that he tripped over
an old log and fell fiat on his back.
Then he began to sneeZe. "kerchew!
kerchew, kerchew!' sneezed Buster
Bear, and rubbed his paws over his
| face and eyes, for something made his
eyes smart. Then he scrambled to his
| feet and stood there sneezing as if he
would sneeZe his head off. To saye his
| life he couldn't have stopped sneezing

Since the newspapers of the coun-

tion that the federal board for vo-
cational education was prepared to
offer retraining to disabled soldiers,
sailors and marines, the response, has
been general Many men who had
gotten "out" in civil life, and were
endeavoring to carry on" often un-

that they may have their disa Utilities
nentralized by special training and
be comfortably supported while this
is being accomplished, with their de-
pendents adequately cared for during
| the period, and with a certainty Of
employment at the completion of the
course, if the training is for a wage
earning occupation.
Since the cooperation Of the daily
newspapers has been rendered the
federal board, 4.725 men, have made
application for the training, and in a
men attributed their contact with the
federal board to information they
had gained by reading newspapers
Other agencies in various communi-
ties of the country have been stimu-
lated into activity by the same
means. and 1,765 disabled men have
been brought in contact with the

directly to the influence OF the news

Revival of Thin Capes.

However, most of us have a strong
belief that if those thin. handsome.
brilliant capes of decade ago had
been kept on the shelf, it would be
possible to put them on today with
out alteration. The new ones and the
old ones are astonishingly alike. They
are not intended for protection, al
though they give sufficient amount
on mild day. They were originated
primar rly to give width to an over
slim silhouette, and enveloping soft
ness to severe outline.
The fiatest of one-piece frocks
gains in grace when a voluminous
cape made of colored chiffon arranged
in founces, and embroidered in gold
or touched with fur. is thrown over
it's bare outlines. These capes are
not somber, although there are black
ones trimmed with arabesques in gold
thread that are intended to shadow
and darken light frocks.
The majority chosen by American
women are as gay as window box
of flowers. They are Of mauve, rose
pink, scarlet. Chinese blue, jonquil
yellow Gold and silver are thrown
over them. as from a cornucopia
shaken by the hand of Midas Often
times they are lined with a contrast
ing color in chiffon, and nothing SO
heavy as satin or silk is used to pre-
vent them from being as evanescent
as an iridescent soap subble..

OflntereSt TO Women
SEMI-TRANSPARENT CAPES RETURN.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Each season
brings out a wall from some women
over the thought that they once gave
away good clothes which had gone
out of style.
If we had sufficient closet room it
would be wise to pack away all our
fashioned garments that are at
tractive and handsome and wait for a
chance to resurrect them. But we
have not the closet room, nor have we
the patience or the faith to do this
thing. Perhaps it is just as well that
we omit it from our scheme OF .econo-
my and life. There is peculiar un-
worthiness about a garment that has
lain on shelf which is easily per-
ceived by even the most economical
woman. Why an old garment, the
style of which is absolutely good.
should look unlike it's new sisters is
one of the things about dress that no
one tries to explain; Suffice that 1t is
so.
Of course there are women who
spend their time retrieving clothes.
They go through the dark recesses of
their homes twice a year and bring
out all that was saved from the
wreckage of the season before. They
struggle with it, putting new wipe
into old bottles, AS it were, and usual
ly make a complete failure of the job.
1t is a difficult thing to convince the
mass of women that it takes more
money and vitality to make over an
old garment into something fashion
able than to buy new bit of ma
terial and fashion it into a simple
frock that is in the picture of the
hour

CAPE BY DRECOLL OF PARIS. IT
IS OF TAUPE CHIFFON TRIMMED

FLOUNCES WHICH MAKE UP THE
CAPE. 1T is TIED IN FRONT
WITH TWO LONG STREAMERS

in this contrast of silhouette that one
finds the distinguishing piquancy of
the costume. OF course, if the new
balloon skirt wins out, this cape will
not be effective. 1t had better be
worn while the present is secure.
The sketch shows a cape that has a
bit more somberness about 1t than one
expects. 1t is of taupe-colored chiffon
trimmed with bands of thin brown
fur. The cape is made in four
f1ounces, the last one irregular in
shape. There is a wide handkerchief
collar which ties in front, it's ends
made brilliant by immense gold
taSSe1s.
If one chooses taupe for a cape of
this kind there is more chance to
wear it than one in bright colors. 1t
does not lend the same brilliancy to
a costume, but it gives reliability,

All Items Show Decrease.


All items entering into the cost of
living showed a decrease of rs per
cent since November, 1918. Food de-
| creased A per cent, shelter de-
: creased 1t per cent, clothing de-
creased SO per cent and fuel. heat
and light decreased 1.3 per cent
since last November. For the entire
| period from July, 1919. to March. 1919,
, tho increase in cost of all items was
| 61.3 per cent, clothing showing the
! highest increased cost of 81 per cent,
, with an increase of Is per cent in the
price of food generally.
In estimating the change in the
| budget as a whole the constituent
items have been given the following
| relative Importance: Food, 43 per
| cent of the total; shelter, Is per cent;
| clothing, 13 per cent; fuel heat and
! light. so per cent; sundries. 20 per
! cent, These percentages are averages
! of the actual expenditures of several
| thousand families. based on the re-
| suits of Investigations by authorita-
| tive agencies.
| The board has relied mainly on in
| formation assembled by the United
| States bureau of labor statistics for
chanves in food prices. The average
price of twenty-five articles OF 1000
| was approximately IS per cent higher
! in March, 1919, than the average price
for the year 1913. which has been ac-
| cepted as a satisfactory pre-War
| standard. This is decrease OF about
! 4 per cent since November, 1918, when
| food prices were the highest ever
! recorded. and of per cent since jan
uary, 1919.
Rents Have Not Fallen.
| Replies to the boards rent ques-
! tionnaire received from nearly 25O
| agencies showed that rents had not
I fallen. and that in many communities
they were higher in March, 1919, than
! in November, 1918. Advances We're
especially noticeable in cities which
up to this time had experienced little
| or no increase in rents and were
most marked for the better class OF
! tenements and cottages and for new
! tenants. A few decreases were re-
ported. but there was no signlhcant
| tendency toward a downward move
ment In many cities no change had
! increase of % per cent since July

APPLE AND ALCOHOL

Numerous men, men who make it
their business to be posted on the fruit
business, have predicted that prohibi-
tion, to become national July II, 1919,
will be the greatest stimulus the fruit
business has ever had. One enthusiast
has gone so far as to predict that fruit
stands will take the place of bars on
many street corners. Indeed, it is a
fact that men who have been accus.
toned to imbbing their daily alchohol-
ic beverage, when that beverage is no
longer to be had, turn to fruit or
sweets. The effect of prohibition will
no doubt stimulate the consumption of
fruits, candies and those syrupy con.
coctions sold at the soda fountains.
But let US devoutly hope that the
prophet who sees Tony with his fruit
sland suppanting Mike, the barkeep,
is correct. Instead of Bronx or a
gin tizz the pedestrian who cannot re-
sist dropping in on the corner as he
wends his way homeward, will soon be
calling for Spitzenburg or a New.
town. Those drinkers who have been
specializing on such sweet, but dam
gerous, beverages as creme de COCO
will probably in the future go into rap
