Thump. thump. thump. Peter Rab-
bit had stamped three times with his
stout hind feet. Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse heard it and knew
what it meant. They knew that
Jimmy Skunk or one of his family
was very near their hiding place and
that it WASH. safe for them to move
So they snuggled close together in
their little home and didn't move so
much as a whisker.
Jimmy Skunk heard it and looked
up with a very cross face. Now,
what is that long cared nuisance
stamping for?" muttered Jimmy
He'll frighten every Mouse within
hearing. If he must thump. why
doesn't he go off where he won't in
terfere with other people? Goodness

Thump. thUmp. thump. thump!
This was more than Jimmy could
stand. He straightway lost his tenn
per. He whirled and started straight
for Peter Rabbit. and there was moth
ing slow in the way Jimmy moved
Never again would Peter be able to
say that Jimmy Skunk never hurries
Peter didn't wait for Jimmy. No in
deed. Peter didn't wait. Not much, :,
He promptly took to his heels and
away he went. lipperty -lipperty lip.
Now. though Jimmy Skunk was sur
prisingly nimble. he was. of course
no match for Peter. So he didn't
waste any time or bSeath chasing
Peter far He was quite satisfied to
chase him away from that particular
place where he had been hunting

I've known fellows who struggled
all their lives to pin up record in

I don't believe any of them ever got
the kick out of it that that man did

With that he gave an outfielder and
yanked out three inches of nerve and

Amt it true! The sorces Of pride
are Wondrous. We hustle and worry
and strain. We burn the midnight

who hasn't washed his teeth for

SHADES OF BROWN ARE POPULAR

Brown. for the first time in the his

The Mourning Hue.
For centuries brown was regarded
western Europe. The reason that
many of the monaStic costumes are
brown is because they date from a
| time when brown was the color of
| penitcnce and sorrow. just as black is
! today
| The fact that so many women wear
| their own brown tresses with consid-
! cradle more becomingness than they

! or blonde by chemicals perhaps gave
! the hint that brown was in general

| Then. too. women who wore brown
| furs-sable. mink and the rest
| learned the value of brown. though
| they might never have chosen 1t for
! a gown.
/ Brown had been worn often as a
| daytime color. recommended for its
| serviceability. but no other color was
! SO generally avoided as a possible
evening shade. And strangely enough
there are skins that look badly in
brown by daylight-certain sallow.
colorless skins-that with the soften
ing effect of artificial light and the
animation that usually comes to a
woman's face in the evening, appear
to great advantage in it.
1t came into fashion before the close
of the war as a color for the tea
hour and the evening. Perhaps it was
a direct outcome of the wartime
necs ssity to wear clothes that were |
durable 1t was Il pleasing alterna- |
tive of black. We thought it would |
go by the board when. as we thought. |
the coming of peace would initiate i
new demand for bright colors.
Strong in France.
But brown has persisted. 1t is
stronger among well dressed French
women than among Americans.
though there are several well dressed
women here who realize the effect
that may be produced by wearing a
frock of brown or black when other
women have rather outdone them
selves in colorS.

is TO ascertain whether or not tangi-

been pointed out that the present
method tends to create a lack OF

deficiency in line officers of the higher

Among the suggestions advanced in

it is proposed to again place officers
