Fur-Decorated Evening Clothes
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE,

The opening, night .of the Metro.

significant event. 1t has more than
musical interest. There are as many.

fashions of these brilliant and costly
evening entertainments as concrete
evidence of what the winter scheme
of costumery Is to be. That part of
the continent that lies east Of New
York is filled with people who may
not have the opportunity or the de-
sire to dress after the fashion of the
millionaires in their opera boxes, but
nevertheless. they want to know
what was worn there, what was con-
spicuous by It's absence. and whether
or not New York followed Paris.
The fact that long white gloves
were generously worn by women in
boxes as well as in the orchestra
seats was a fact that rippled over
the continent. for instance.
sumner are interested in the revival
of hand coverings. there was general
rejoicing. The benighted dowagers
who have protested against the
familiar habit Of bare hands in public
places feel that their views have
been reinstated In good society.
The absence of jewels in the hair
and the substitution of oriental and
Venetian caps and heavy silver fore
head bands was another fashion of
exceeding Importance. Those who
have fur to sell and those who have
fur to wear may not have paid suf-
ficient attention. however. to another
fashion that will spread itself farther
! than Venetian caps and twenty-but
ton gloves.
This is the use of peltry as a dec
oration for costly and formal even
ing gowns. Fox. chinchilla, kolinsky
and ermine were the furs chosen to
edge sleeves and the deep, square

gave the signal for fur decoration in
August. and now 1t is rioting

are decorated with it. as witness the
coat of black velours de laine

the last word In smart fashion in
Paris makes it desirable. Beaver is
the fur used. There is a band of 1t

Bungalows.

Quite often you hear Of some one
who starts out planning to build a
bungalow, and often these bungalow
enthusiasts end by building a two
Of newly married folk are full of
bungalows-but most of these bunga-
lows do not materialize.
Take the Browns, for instance. They
had lived in a city apartment, all on
one floor. and Mrs. Brown was sure
that she did not want to keep house
with a flight Of stairs dividing her
house in two. Mr.. Brown. too. was a
bungalow enthusiast For some rea-
SON he seemed to think that a bunga-
low would be less expensive than a
regular house. So they saved plans
amateurish way and made a new set
of plans combining what they
thought the best features of all the
plans they had seen. Then they took
their plans to q builder.
The builder said something about
the cost OF excavation and the cost
Of roofing and the Browns went home
to revamp their plans on two-foor
plan.
If you do not have to consider the
element Of additional cost you can
approach the question for or against
favor of the plan first comes the alb
sence Of stsirs-a decided advantage
when one must do ones work. when
there are children who need constant
supervision at play outdoors and when
there are old folk to whom stairs
present a trial. Then the bungalow
type of house has a way Of looking
more spacious. There are advantages
when entertaining. too. in having all
available rooms adjacent.
But there are disadvantages. Six
or seven rooms placed together will

number in two layers. You can have
fewer rooms with two-way ventila-
ton. Some persons too. dislike to
sleep 80 near the ground. And GER
tainly bars at the windows are not
cheerful. Then there is a sense Of
less privacy in sleeping quarters in
q bungalow. and there are housewives
who Insist that it is more difficult to
keep rooms in order when they are
all on one floor.

THANKSGIVING CHEER.

THE girls OF the two chapters of
i the Merrill Girls Club OF Eastern
High School are to be congratulated
on the splendid contributions they
made Thanksgiving day toward pro-
viding a really enjoyable day for
some families which otherwise would
have had little or no cheer on that
strictly American holiday.
The members of the alumnae chap
ter Of the club furnished a bountiful
dinner to poor family. consisting of
eight children and their parents. and
the larger school chapter. numbering
about eighty-five girls in membership.
supplied full baskets for four large
families which were in need Of help.
The work was SO successful that the
girls are already planning their well
fare work for Christmas. which will
be on a larger scale than ever before
attempted by the members of this
club.
The girls of the alumnae chapter are
also planning a big New Year eve
dance, the details Of which will be
determined later. Miss Edna Burrows,
president of this chapter of the club.
is also busy coaching the members of
the school chapter in their numbers
for vaudeville show which they are
planning to give very shortly.

You see, he had known exactly what

ways well enough to be sure that

just that thing. 1t was a terrible
screech to hear. 1t was the kind of
a screech to make all who heard it
shiver with fear. 1t was a screech
of rage.
Then Yowler bounded on to Paddy's
dam and across 1t. He was after
Peter Rabbit. 1t was not SO much
that he wanted Peter for a dinner as
1t was his desire to get even with
Peter
him. There was a sharp report like
the report of a rifle. At once there
was another sharp report from the
upper end of the new pond. The first
report had been made by Paddy's
broad tail striking the water. It was
The second report had been made by
Mrs. Paddy's broad tail striking the
water. It was a signal to Paddy that
she understood.
Those two sharp reports made
Yowler angrier than ever. If possible.
and more determined than ever to
catch Peter Rabbit. II Peter hadn't
taken to his heels as soon as he had
thumped he would have had small
chance.
But Peter had taken to his heels.
The moment or two during which
Yowler had remained quiet to find
out if Paddy had been alarmed had
given Peter chance to use those
long legs OF his to the best advantage
And he had. Oh. yes. indeed. he had.
Never had he run faster. He wanted
nothing SO much as to put as great
a distance as possible between him
self. and Yowler. There was a GER
tain hole between the roots Of an old
stump in which he would be safe,
and he headed straight for that.
, Yowler's keen ears heard the rustic
of leaves as Peter ran and he bound
ed after him. But he was too late.
When he reached that hole into
which Peter had darted only a mo-
ment before he screeched again and
tore up the ground with his claws.
1t was dreadful exhibition of
temper. He had lost his temper and
missed a dinner and was so angry
that he hardly knew what he was
doing.

method of preventing hurt feelings
cause of misunderstanding of direc-
tionC.
There was one little girl last week
whose feelings were very much hurt
because she heard the arrangements
planned the first time for perform
ance two weeks from that date and
did not learn of the changes to be
made later. She was given a small
part in a play which it was hoped
ground.
When she came on the day ap-
pointed for giving the play, not hav-
ing been present at any of the meet
ings between the two dates. she found
that the director Of the ground had
discovered that it would be impossi-
t.le to give this play and had changed
the affair into a masquerade party
The little girl arrived early enough
to receive the suggestion that she go
home and get on a costume which she
possessed and return to the ground
in time for the party to start. She
went home, but took SO long to get
ready that when she returned the
party was almost over.
This was a real tragedy to the
little girl herself. yet she could not
realize that her own careleSsness and
lack of interest in the interval be-
tween receiving her first orders and
the date Of the party were RESPONSE
BILE for her disappointment. Her
mother, likewise. was rather upset
over the affair and could not under
stand the point of view of the play
ground director. She did not realize
that this director has to deal with
hundreds of children every day and
only those who come to the ground
regularly can keep up with changes
necessitated by emergencies.
There are many little girls and
big ones. too. who enjoy the privi-
leges Of these Fairgrounds. If they
wish to do their bit toward making
the parties given on the Fairgrounds
a success they must dosteam work.
This means they must keep in touch
with the grounds almost daily and
know what is going on. It is just the
