Peter remained where he was until
he was absolutely sure that it was
safe to come out. Then he hurried
pperty-lipperty-lip. up to the Oi6
Orchard. He knew he would feel quite
safe there because there were plenty
Of hiding places in the old stone wall
along the edge of it. Besides. he
wanted to see if any of his friends
had arrived from the far away Sunny
South.

Peter Rabbit BIesses Old Mr..
Chuck.

We never know. we must confess.
Who some day Well have cause to bless.
"As sure as you're alive now, Peter
Rabbit, some day 1 will catch YOU"
snarled Reddy Fox as he poked his
black nose into the hole between the
roots of the Big Hickory Tree which
grows close to the Smiling Pool. It's
lucky for you that you were not one
jump further away from this hole"
Peter Rabbit, safe inside that hole.
didn't have a word to say, or IL he
did he didn't have breath enough to
say it. 1t was quite true If he had
been one jump further from that hole
Reddy Fox would have caught him
AS it was. the hairs of Peters funny
short white tail had actually tickled
Reddy's black nose as Peter franti-
cally plunged through the rootbound
entrance to that hole.
1t was the narrowest escape Peter
had had for a long. long time You
see he had been so busy nibbling
sweet clover on the bank Of the Smil-
ing Pool, and enjoying it SO much. that
he had forgotten to watch out. So
Reddy Fox had been able to creep al
most up to him before Peter even sus-
pected that Reddy was anywhere
about. 1t had been a dreadful sur
prise. And it was lucky, very lucky
for Peter that that hole. dug long
long ago by Johnny Chuck's grand
father. was right where it was. Also
it was a lucky thing that old Mr..
Chuck had had the good sense tc
make the entrance between the roots
Of that tree in such a way that it
could not be dug any larger.
Reddy Fox was too shrewd to waste
any time trying to dig 1t larger. He
knew that he couldn't possibly squeeze
in between those roots and that Peter
was perfectly safe. So. after trying
to make Peter as uncomfortable as
possible and to scare him by telling
him what was bound to happen to
him some day. Reddy trotted off
across the Green Meadows.
But Peter didn't mind Reddy's
dreadful threats in the least He was
used to them. He couldn't remem-
Der a time when Reddy Fox hadn't
been watching for chance to catch
him. and he had heard those dread
full threats so often that now they
simply went in one long ear and out
the other. In fact. now that he was
safe. he rather enjoyed the excite
ment.

was as the French desired it, and. pos
sibly, it was the correct artistic ac-
ton. but American ideas got grip
on the public during the war, and. al
though 1t, the public. feels that France
is the source of inspiration, it likes to
build its clothes as 1t does its houses,
to coincide with American atmos-
phere and give the best results from
an American point Of view.
So, it has come about that the OBJ
servers find themselves confronted
with an interesting picture puzzle. one
that is living and animated. They
know the original French models and
they find themselves putting together
all the different pieces which are worn

The Ruined Skirt.
Probably the most striking example
of the way the American designers
work is in the adaptation Of the ruff
fed skirt to other types of bodices,
than the one to which it was original
Nv Joined. This model by Doucet Is
very we'll known by those who make
clothes, although the public may be
familiar with the style, but not the
source.
It was brought over by many Amer
fcan buyers. and it has been used as
Inspiration for evening. afternoon and
morning frocks. The skirt Of 1t. made
of georgette crepe. was a mass of
small irregular rufnes that reached
from low waistline to a short hem.
One Of the best copies OF this skirt
is in daffodil yellow silk not placed
over iris blue silk with low bodice
in Grecian form of the yellow over a
negligible girdle OF blue.
1t is also copied in black with a Cir
die bodice Of Nile green watered silk
over which is an extra low bodice of

of black net.

The inspiration for the long list Of
frocks that stretches between the
two extremes.
II has also arrived as an inspiration
for figured summer frocks to be worn

rufles covering it's straight slender
foundation and the long-waisted bod

I deep. clear baritone voice. This piecs
came a. q very clever climax to Q
complaint made by the singer when
he appeared before the audience, In
which he spoke OF his last concert
Monday night, marking the eighty
fourth OF the season, and how he had
drawn a long breath and said: Il
wont have to sing again for a whole
week."
Preliminary to this Mr.. seagle had
said when he mounted the platform:
New you know i didn't come to
sing. i did not expect to be here;
neither did 1 expect to sing tonight.

pect to do. II i was anywhere else

or grown old-even the children ]

lightfttl days both as q man and dur
ing my musical career were spent in
Chattanooga. / will sing"
The program given by two of Mr..
Seagle's pupils, who have been study
Ing with him In New York, was
opened by Miss Robbie Burns, who
sang n group OF difficult ngs in a
clear soprano voice. The first was
"Musetta's Valse Song from LA
Boheme." by Puccini, which was
Ifaultlessly rendered in a clear, sweet
voice. Noticeable in the group was
"ouve TIES Yeux Bleus," by Mas
senet. Miss Burns sang with a nat
ural grace and animation which,
aside from the strength and sweet
ness of her high soprano voice, added
a charm TO her singing.
Miss Dorothy Biese sang a group
of classical songs. comprising the
Jewel Song" from Faust" by Gou-
nod; 1.-THE Birding" by Soderberg;
Claimant Papillon." by Campra.
Her rendition of the Jewel Song"
was a, revelation to her audience
and a most commendable piece of
work for a student so young.
Miss .Biese also possesses a So
prano vt,ice of high quality, and her
audience would have liked to have
heard 1t again in the difficult though
smoothly rendered lines OF the "Jewel
Song"
The next on the program was
duet from Madame Butterfly" by
Puccini, given by Misses Biese and
Burns, whose voices blended we'll In
the difficult selection.
This was followed by the appear
ance OF Mr.. Seagle. which came as
delight to the audience. which had
only expected to hear his pupils.
Miss Burns second group, the
prelude" from "Cycle OF Life" by
Ronald. was saing with a natural ease
through all the parts. which won the
admiration of the audience. In Miss
Biese's second group, both calling
Me Home to You" and sheep and
Lambs" were sung with exquisite
taste and a familiarity Of the theme
that made 1t easy for the singer
