at is hard to believe" said Peter
Rabbit to Spooky the Screech Owl,
that those seven grown children of
Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk are still living
at home with them. What is the mat
ter with them? Can't they take care
of themselves?"
Nothing is the matter with them, -
replied Spooky. "They are as fine a
lot of young Skunks as ever 1 have
seen. 1 suspect that the members of
Jimmys family are so fond of one an
other that they cannot bear to sepa-
rate until they have to. But the time
| is near when they will. Early in the
| spring. they'll go looking for homes
of their own. They must keep each
other nice and warm down there
sleeping together that way"
Il should say So" exclaimed Peter.

possibly be cold. was down in john
ny Chuck's house and he was all alone
in one bedroom and Polly Chuck was
all alone in another. They were SO
still and cold 1 couldn't be sure
whether they were just asleep or dead.
l couldn't wake them up. But those
Skunks down there were not like

Johnny and Polly Chuck"
Don't worry about them." replied
Spooky. 'They are asleep. not dead.
I don't know of any one but Nimble-
heels the Jumping Mouse who sleeps
as soundly as they do in winter. The
Skunks sleep for several weeks. but
not so soundly. A warm spell in the
middle of winter will sometimes bring
them out. ] guess perhaps the reason
they are easier awakened is because
they are so warm. Perhaps If john
ny Chucks children remained with
him all winter and they all slept to-
gether and kept each other warm
they wouldn't be such sound s1eepers."
Did you say Nimbleheels the Jump
ing Mouse sleeps like Johnny Chuck?
didn't know any member of the
mouse family slept all winter. Now
you mention him. / am reminded that
I haven't seen Nimbleheels since the
middle of last autumn"
"Of course. you haven't and you are
not likely to see him until warmer
weather" replied Spooky. "Nimble-
heels is the only member of the mo use
family know who does sleep-through
the cold weather, and l flatter myself
I know considerable about the mouse
family" Spooky snapped his bill in a
way that would have been rather un-
pleasant for any mo Is" to hear.
"You ought to if any one does" re-
piled Peter. You hunt for mice
enough to have learned something
about them. Are you sure that MINI
bleheels sleeps right through from
fall to spring. as Johnny Chuck does?"
We'll, I won't say that" replied

Chin Strapping.

Within the last couple Of weeks
have received quite a few letters
from readers who wish to know about
various appliances for reducing a dou-
cles of the face. A few weeks ago
I gave a short talk on strappinG the
chin at night to preserve its youth
full line. No woman under thirty
five should have to make use of such
1 treatment
The chin-in fact. the whole face
can be strapped or bound at night to
hold up sagEing muscles. One of the
easiest methods is to use strips of
Sauze or white cheese cloth. These
cost very little, if the material is
bought and torn into strips at home.

FINERY FOR THE LITTLE GIRL.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Many American mothers of little
girls have worked themselves into an
invulnerable prejudice against silks
and satin. laces and ruftles, finery in
general, for little girls clothes. The
simple frocks of pique or handker-
chief linen, with untrimmcd hats of
straw or felt and coats of serge and
tweed, seem like a bulwark of their
social position. To dress their little
girls in silks and velvets and laces
and frills and furbelows would be
to jeopardize themselves. That
seems to be the attitude of some OF
these mothers. Whatever their orig
inal taste in the matter. whatever
the cravings of the little girl herself.
the mother of this type passes by
the shop windows made gay with
little girls finery, with an Il am bet
ter than thou" tinge in her egotism.
She continues to feel that way. Her
prejudice is undaunted until some
fine day when she sees the daughter
of the woman whose taste and posi-
tion she regards as perfect launch

Juvenile tea party clad in silks and
laces, puffs and ruffies.
The English Way.
It's something we caught from the
French, and We are forgetting our
preJu0lce IN 1aVo" or the nursery
bred English child when we succumb
French mothers have always been
more willing to dress their little girls
in finery. They are rather amused
at the plainly clad English girls and
feel convinced that one reason why
English women always do wear finery
rather badly is because they have
never learned how in childhood.
There are mothers, of course, who
will continue to look at nothing
more ornate than embroidered hand
kerchief linen and lawn for their lit
tie girls party clothes. But the fact
remains that the shops that special
lie in children's clothes are turning
over quantities of these other things
-frockS of velvet and satin. silks
and even chiffons, and they are not
bought entirely by parvenueS either.
However, the woman of good taste
and sound sense keeps strong key
on the clothespress where this silk
and satin .finery is kept. 1t is worn
only for occasions-for a few brief
hours on some festive occasion.
The Ban on Lace.
The lines must be simple and the
details must be meager, however.
Otherwise the little girl who wears
the fnery is grotesQue. Moreover.
though the styles of childhood and
maturity have been running a pretty
close parallel of late years, there
must. be something distinctively
childish in the design of the frock.
1t must never be a miniature replica
of the finery of the debutante or the
matron.
