thought he saw, just the least bit of
movement He looked at it suspi-
c1ously, not stopping running, because
that would'n have done at all. There
was no movement at the top of that
old stump now. 1t was gray, the
gray of old wood, all but the top.
The top was white. Peter noticed it..
That's queer" said Peter to him
self. That certainly is queer. Why
should the top of that tree be white
and the rest of it gray? 1 think III
keep away from there. That doesn't
look just right to me. The top Of that
tree has no business to be white.
wonder fl
But Peter never did say just what
he wondered. The white top of that
old stump suddenly spread a pair of
great wings and came floating out.
Perhaps floating" isn't just the right
word, for there was speed in those
great wings. Hat exclaimed Peter,
and lodged under some low-growing
hemlocks. Perhaps you have guessed
who it was that was after Peter.
Peter knew. He knew the very sec
ond that the top of that stump came
to life. 1t was Whitley the Snowy Owl,
who had came down from the Far
North, as he so often does in the Win
ter. Peter hadnC known that he was
anywhere about. He hadn't heard
even a rumor that Whitley had come
down. But he had suspected who it
might be the moment he discovered
that the top of that old stump was
white instead of gray. Now am in
for it," thought Peter. What with
Reddy Fox and Whitley both after me,
what chance has a poor little rabbit
got? just knew something was going
TO happen. Yes, sir, / knew it.
/ felt it in my bones. I'll have to keep
under these hemlocks as much as
can Oh, dear! Reddy can get me
under the hemlocks, and Whitley can
get me IT, come out. 1 wish I had
stayed at home in the dear Old Briar-
patch"
All the time Peter was running.
You see, Reddy Fox was still after
him. So Peter was running and dane
ing underneath those uncovered
hemlocks. And when he ran from
one such hiding place to another his
heart was in his mouth, or seemed to
be. You see, then it was that Whitley
the Snowy Owl had a chance to swoop
at him.

A reader has asked how the word
etiquette may be applied to other
than those with at least moderate
means-that is to say, to those Of
us who must painstakingly and con-
stantly watch the pennies that the
dollars may go a long way. The
real question that this reader wishes
to ask, and at length admitted, was:
How may this thing etiquette be
applied to other than the more or
less wealthy classes. If, indeed. 1t may
be applied at ALP" AS this reader
felt that the question was decidedly
open to argument. with not little
against the idea of sO-called etiquette
for other than the well-to-do, and as
others may have experienced the same
thought, we shall look at the ques-
ton again, and very carefully, today.
Etiquette, we have said, Is nice
choice between the good, bad and
personal and impersOnal, and q choice
personal and impersonal, and choice,
that must, from habit, become an in
stinctive one. In particular it is
discriminating choice-in everything.
Wealth and family position are
purely matters of chance, as far as
we as individuals are concerned.
Good breeding is not a matter of
chance, but of personal choice, and
good breeding requires only a desire
on the part of the individual and the
effort to carry out that desire.
That, then, is where etiquette ap-
plies to those of us who are not
possessed of wealth.
All and any OF us who attempt
this nice choice OF things attain the
measure Of our desire, for good breed
ing is a simple virtue based en-
tirely on effort and sincerity. And
we accomplish. when we attain good
breeding, far more than the fine
manners" that are sometimes thought
exclusively to be etiquette. We be-
come considerate of our fellow be-
ings. unselfish. self-controlled and
amiable. We are a decided pleasure
in our associations with people and
we. are known for our dependability
and charm. Need 1t matter, whether
or not we have wealth or high po-
sition, that these things may be
known and said of us? / think not.
We have said that etiquette is a
nice choice, and that good breed
ing is consideration, self-control, ct
cetera. But our good breeding is
marked other than in our bearing.
1t is exemplified by our personal APP
pearance and by our surroundings
as we'll as by our character. AS good
breeding covers up any show of
great wealth of money when one pos
sesses this wealth. so does 1t cover
any embarrassing lack of money and
the hardships attendant upon this
lack.
Things that are in good taste may
be purchased with the little bit that

Grouse had just done Peter good
turn by rising suddenly in front of
Reddy Fox and throwing snow in his
face. This had given Peter a chance
to gain a little. But now Reddy was
hard after him again, and Peter was
wondering what would happen next.
In Peters life something is always
happening He says his life is one
happening after another. The appear
ance of Mr.. Grouse just at the right
minute had been most unexpected. AS
Peter would have expressed it. Mr..
Grouse just happened to be there at
the right minute. So perhaps it is no
wonder that Peter was so sure that
something more would happen. He
didn't have to wonder long. No, sir,
he didn't have to wonder long. AS
he raced lipperty -lipperty- lipperty-lip
over the snow he was watching all the
time in all directions as best as he
could. Reddy Fox was behind him,
but there was no knowing who might
H,a in front of him. 1t was well that
Peter was keeping his eyes wide open.
Yes, sir, it was well that he was keep
ing his eyes wide open. Otherwise
this would be the last story about
him.

times dye red fox in way that makes
it closely resemble real silver fox.
But since other sorts of fox have
come into favor in France this de-
ception is really not necessary. A
good blue fox comes next to silver
fox in price and some women consider
1t more youthful. White fox, which
was very popular some years ago, is
seldom seen save when dyed to some
soft gray ore beige tone, and Is usually
sold by the better sort of furriers as
dyed white fox
A single fox pelt Is enough TO make
a substantial sort Of scarf, but in
Paris at present many women are
wearing the twosllin scarfs, which
are long enough to be draped grace
fully around the body.
The very fact that fox scarfs have
not been so generally worn in this
country as abroad gives the fashion
much distinction. There is little de-
mand for the cheap sort--the fox
scarfs made of rabbits and wolves
and other commoner skins.

perfect silver fox scarfs--that is, two

One was presented TO her in Canada
and the other by the directors of a

and sable may once have been con-
Sidered the regal furs. but those who
know and appreciate furs nowadays
seem to feel that there is no pelt
more queenly than a perfect silver
fox.
Oddly enough, in this country,
where some of the finest of fox pelts
are obtained, the fox scarf is not so
