So IL was that Peter had gone wan
dering. 1t was nearly week since he
had been home, a very unusual length
OF time for Peter to stay away.
III stay just one more day." said
Peter, as he sat near the doorway of
an old house OF Johnny Chuck's in a
far corner of the Old Orchard. Its
too late TO 60 home safely now, any
way. In this Peter was right. AL
ready jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun
was well up In the Blue, Blue Sky.
1t wouldn't be safe to try to get home
now. "I'll hide in the Old Stone Wall, Z"
though Peter. ut will be a good
place to spend the day"
just then he noticed the doorway to
Johnny Chuck's old home. He had
been down in that home before, but
not for long, long time. In fact, 1t
was q year or two since he had looked
inside that home Of Johnny Chuck's
It occurred to him now that this would
be perfectly good place to spend the
day.
"Ill 20 down in there" thought he.
"Ill go down in there and have a
good aleep. No one Will think to look
for me In there. Besides, / want to
see II that old house Is az good as I
remember It to be-"
So Peter went down inside 1t. It
struck him as he went down the long
hall that for an old house It was in
particularly good condition.
II should think somebody had been
using It," muttered Peter, and he wob-
bled his wobbly little nose as only
Peter can wobble 1t. There was a IA
miliar odor. Peter shifted. Jimmy
Skunk has been in here" said ne.
THAT is why this hall is in such good
condition. He must have been using
It recently. presume he comes in
here once in while for a nap. 1 hope
he isn't in here now. don't believe
he is, or / would know it. would
smell him"
So Peter kept on down to the bed
room, and there he found everything
very comfortable and nice. His nose
| told him that Jimmy Skunk had used
1t quite recently. but Jimmy wasn't
there then. and Peter felt quite sure
that he wasn't likely TO come. In the
first place, it was broad daylight -
this time. In the second place. while
Jimmy does some roaming about in

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, February 10.

Tomorrow is one of the days that
are extraordinary because OF many
evil aspects, according to astrology.
1t is we'll to delay in all sorts of in
itiative and to cont1ne efforts to
strictly necessary business under this
sway, the seers admonish.
Business men may be ANXIOUS
over international complications that
threaten trade, but assurance is given
that this country is to prosper enor-
mously.
Labor is likely to be FESTIVE and dis
contented under this direction of the
stars. Strikes and lockouts, however,
are things of the past, the seers de-
clare, except in isolated instances.
Women should defer public matters
of Importance and should be very
cautious about all their business af-
fairs while this configuration prevails
Irritability and unreasonableness
may be apparent in an unusual degree
tomorrow, and it is well to cultivate a
happy point of view
The stationary position of Mercury
is likely to bring many political mat
tiers to a head and to cause sensa-
tional events in Europe.
Scandals in municipal government
probably will be uncovered in more
than one American city this year.
Women are to be severely criticized
for their lack of influence in political
matters and to be held responsible
for many public Ills, it is foretold.
This is not lucky day for love af-
fairs, and yet there will be great
temptation toward romantic adven-
lures.
Persons whose birth date it is have
a promising augury for real estate
speculation, but may be easily cheated.
Children born on that day probably
will be unselfish and generous. They
may have a tendency to carry other
peoDle's burdens.

three small coils at the nape of the
neck.
Couture 2. For high forehead and
long face. Part the hair low on the
left. Brush it across the forehead
smoothly and curl ends up at the
right temple. Brush the side hair
back, exposing ears and arrange in a
french twist behind.
Couture 3. For a long, oval face.
Part the hair In the middle. Have a
thin, curled-under bang in the center.
continue the part down the back and
arrange the hair in two coils. one
over each ear.
Couture 4. For low forehead and
broad face. Brush hair straight back
from the face. Put in few fiat
waves. Tie the hair at the nape OF
the neck and roll 1t upward in a fan
shaped bun. If the back hair is too
short for this treatment, curl 1t up
ward in a long roll across the nape of
the neck.

Ruth now outshines most people

She knows she's good-she knows
other people admire her. Why
shouldn't she enjoy basking in their
admiration?
Why shouldn't she take the great
est pains to display her prowess at
sports -to exhibit her skill at the

What, she asks, is the use of learn
ing to do things better than any one
else If YOU don't show others quite

My dear Ruth no one ever said

possess it, No one ever said it wasn't
perfectly natural that the talented
young lady should want to impress
others with her genius But I've al

desire to outshine every one else
simply ruins her own effect.
Now, it's perfectly possible to show
off your skill and daring without
seeming to do so.

ANY one with the slightest grain OF
intelligence was able to see that she
outswam every boy and girl present,
but her quiet. casual way of going
about it saved her from being known
as a Show-off.
Whereas Muriel, whose skill In
aquatic sports was as great as Pats,
but whose methods were much less
subtle, turned every one against her
and reused sneers instead OF admlra-
ton.
She waited till the rest of the bunch
had made their feeble attempts on the
springboard. Then, very deliberately,
she advanced to the board, posed eff
feotively, and did perfect dive, cal
culated to make others gasp with
envy. After which she tore down to
the end of the pool, back and forth
some 10 times, just to show her speed
and endurance.
Long after the others had retired
to the raft to rest, she was going
strong. doing Trudy de Ederle, as
hard as she could, hoping that the
onlookers were approaching her stuff.
Well, she got a razz from everybody.
Pat was just as much of show-or.
She knew she was good, too, but no
body ever razzed her. hSe didn't give
them the chance.
BY all means, Ruth, do your stun.
Let everybody see how good you are.
But don't let them see that you're
anxious for them to realize how good
you are.

nine world will be ready for a change
of some sort. 1t seems quite likely
that the new vogue will be a COM
promise between long and short hair
and will avoid the disadvantages Of
both.
Time was when a girl would boast
of having hair long enough to sit on
and every woman who made any pre-
tensions to beauty had tresses that
reached at least to her waist line.
Long, thick hair is beautiful when
hanging loosely, but 1t is difficult to
build into a simple and becoming
couture. The bob was a revolt against
the tyranny of heavy coils of hair
and innumerable hairpins. Extreme
simplicity took the place Of elaborate
hairdressing. Yet there Is a certain
monotony about bobbed heads and the
problem of the bristly necks seems
unsolvable. A compromise has recently
been suggested by a group of hair
dressers. A woman looks her best,
they say, when her hair is about Is
inches long and is arranged in a
simple, close-fitting couture that ex-
hibits the graceful contour of her
head. Hair of this length is not too
short to wave prettily and yet not
long enough to be burdensome. 1t
