The Little Rabbit Finds a
Friend.
No gift that Fortune ever sends
Can equal true and faithful friends.
-pefer Rahhit


Peter Rabbit.
If ever there was a thoroughly mis-
cradle little Rabbit that one was the
crouched in his hiding place in the old
stone wall and gazed up at the sharp
face Of Chatterer. the Red Squirrel.
Chatterer had Just told him that that
Chipmunk and himself and had or
dered that little Rabbit to leave at
once.
Now, Of course, that little Rabbit
go and be safe. He had asked Chat
terer in the most polite way where he
could go.
Chatterer scowled and tried to look
very fierce; I don't know where ne you
you go. Go anywhere, but get away
from here as soon as you can. Now.
let me see what those long legs of
yours are good for"
The frightened little Rabbit pre-
pared to crawl out of his hiding place
and once more start out into the
Great World. There seemed to be
nothing else for him to do. Chat
terer wasn't as big as he, but there
and the little Rabbit dared not dis
obey Besides, there was Striped
Chipmunk, and that made two against
one Then, too this ;, old val wall ! be- =
no right there. So. with a big tear
starting from each eye the little
Rabbit prepared to go.
Then for the first time Striped
Chipmunk spoke: Don't you pay the
least attention to that Relocated
cousin of mine." said he. kindly. I'VE
don't own this stone wall. You have
just as much right here as we have.
Chatterer lives in the Green Forest
and really is only a visitor here. He
is simply trying to scare you. Don't
mind a word he says. I live in the
old stone wall; or. to be exact, in q
hole In the ground under it. So il
any one has right to claim this old
wall I have. But it doesn't really be-
long to me. 1t doesn't belong to any
body. There is plenty of room for
you. and l will be glad to have you
stay as long as you want to. Just
don't heed Chatterer at all. He is
and nothing else"
At once Chatterer began to scold
Striped Chipmunk and call him names !
His tongue fairly flew, and the faster
it flew the angrier he became. Finally |
he made rush at Striped Chipmunk
Striped Chipmunk lodged and then
raced away along the old stone wall. |
with Chatterer at his heels. In and
out among the stones OF the old
wall the two cousins raced and |
lodged. The little Rabbit watched !
them In round-eyed fear. This time |

Adjusting the Veil.

For some reason American women
have not been so eager to go back to
the habit Of wearing wells as have
French women. You know during the
war wells seemed to be one of the ac-
cessorfes that women seemed to think
they could dispense with. 1t might
have been predicted that the Anneri-
can woman who had always had the
reputation of wearing her veil rather
nicely would have gone back to the
veil habit with more enthusiasm. In
the meantime wells have been worn
with much enthusiasm in France and
there is good reason to believe that
as autumn weather returns we will
wear wells more generally.
There are always some women who
do not feel that they have adjusted a
veil right unless they have fastened
1t securely in place by means of in
visible hairpins at the back of the
nair. However. this is bit old fash
ioned' the present mode demanding a
freer arrangement
A favorfte way of ARRANGING the
lace veil is to place it over the top of
the hat with just q little of the edge
appearing over the edge of the brim
The veil is draped on the top of the
hat and then sometimes one end
III down the back while the other
IS Drawn around and draped across
the neck in front. This, of course,
needs a fairly large hat.
sometimes on small hat the veil
IS arranged loosely so that the edge
does not come quite to the tip of the
nose ana the ends are brought around
in front to veil the neck.
Again the large lace veil is some
times placed simply across the hat.
the ends hanging evenly down on
either side. falling loosely over the
shoulders and terminating about the
elbows
The keynote to the whole thing
seems to be that the veil should he
placed with seeming freeness, though
of course it should be well enough
secured to make sure that it does not
become disarranged.

Reverse Order
Giving s264,000
To Federal Club
Appellate Cour, Holds Play
ing Baseball Is Not Com
merce; Ba 'timore to Fight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. - The Dis
eriet Court Of Appeals to-day reversed
the recent judgment for s264,OOo,
granted by the District Supreme Cour,
against the major baseball leagues in
favor OF the Baltimore Federal League
club, which claimed violation of the
antitrust laws by the use of the re
serve clause" in the players contracts.
The Appellate Court held that play
ing baseball did not constitute COM
merce as defined by United States
Supreme Court decisions and that the
antitrust law did not apply.
The "rese,ve clause" imposed re-
strictions, the court held, which re-
lated directly to the conservation of
the personnel of the clubs and did not
affect the movements of the Federal
League clubs. Any ill-effect was mere
~ accidental, the court found.
Counsel for the Baltimore club an
nounced tonight that an attempt
would be made to carry the case to
che Supreme Court for review.
A verdict for $4,000 was awarded
by the jury when the former Federal
League clubs contention was upheld
in the lower court. AS provided by the
antitrust laws, the amount of the
Judgment was tripled and an attor-
news fee of $4,000 was added, bring
ing the total judgment up to s26+'p'o

The tackles are Bruno and Busch,
who we're largely responsible for
Stevcnss success in the season iust

football and are rangy and fast.
Anthony. another Stevens player, is
paired with Galloway, the husky negro
OF Columbia, for the guard positions.
Both of these fellows are strong for
