Peter Tries Signaling.

Be done In quite another way.

Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit was wishing a very
foolish wish. Yes. sir: he was wish
ing a very foolish wish. He was
! wishing that Old Mother Nature had
given him something which in her
| wisdom she had seen fit not to give
him.
"lf l only had voice, a loud voice" ="
| said Peter to himself. II could call,
| and perhaps then would get an an
swer. 1t may be that the one who
has been doing all this chirping here
| in the cedar swamp doesn't know |
am looking for him. II he did know
| he might wait for me instead of NOV
| Ing about SO much. But L haven't
! any voice, SO how can l let him
know"
Right then an idea came to Peter.
why didn't j think of il before
| I'll signal with my hind feet. Every
body knows my signal. II he hears
| really is my old friend, l am sure he
will come looking for me. If he is
! some joker. initiating the voice of
my friend, he won't come. A signal
| with my hind feet will be quite a.
good as a voice"

| he again heard that mysterious chirp.
| Then he thumped with his hind feet
with all his might. There was very
! little snow where Peter was sitting
| and that thump could be heard quite
distance. He thumped twice, then
listened eagerly.
Almost at once there was an an
| swerins chirp. Peter thumped again.
| He was answered at once. and this
! time the chirp was nearer ana IT
| seemed to him that there was eager
ness in the sound of it. Again he
| thumped and then hoped out into
| little open space that he might more
| easily be seen.
still Then he heard the fit of wings
and a bird alighted in the top of a
| small cedar tree very near him.
| For just second Peter couldn
| find his voice. Although he had halt
| expected to see just what he did see,
| it had all the time seemed SO impos-
! sible that it was now hard to believe
his eyes.

Just beneath the point was placed a

the two long ends which trailed from

The form of short train-ends of pea

The otner gown pictured was OF
loose blouse and skirt that hung
longer at the front and back than
on the sides. Tiny sparkling beads
of every imaginable color were ap-
pliuued in conventional design
around the bateau neck and the short
kimono sleevelets. and additional
beads appeared in a series OF tri-
angles around the waist and hem
OF the skirt. The triangles were
bridged together with semi-circles
of gold and silver brilliants. and the
effect against the background OF
black velvet was unusually lovely. A
slender girdle of twisted gold ribbon
circled the waist just below the bead
ed pattern to give an additional note
of richness, and the skirt lining.

baseball game between the teams of
the Rescues, and United States Mar
ines, of the Twilight League" to be
staged on the diamond of ST. Johns
College this afternoon beginning at 6
o'clock. These teams are regarded
as the strongest in the League They
are tied for first place, each having
won two games, and naturally much
rivalry has developed. Attendance is
expected to eclipse that of all pre-
vious games.
The Marines have a well organized
combination and have been playing
regularly since early summer. The
Rescue outfit, though composed of
players of several years experience,
was organized only two weeks ago,
and have had the advantage of only
few days of practice together, that
is, for the whole team. Still they are
showing good form, and are confident
of their ability to trail the colors of
the Marines. and thereby take the
leadership in the League.
Tomorrow afternoon the teams of
Moose and Odd Fellows will clash.

esting manner He is a deep student
