fly the blouse with the skirt at the
hipline. There's a scarf of the velvet,
of course, for most of the velvet coats
are made that way this season. Styl-
lists point out the advantage of the
coat with the scarf neckline as it per-
mits the wearing of separate fur neck
piece. Since fur sets are the latest
thing, fur neckerchief with a match
ing muff would add still another note
of luxury to this flattering outfit.
BY substituting sleeveless blouse
made of the self-velvet of coat and
skirt this afternoon frock might read
lily be transformed into an evening
gown. Or one might indulge in
blouse of opulent metal brocade, thus
with an extra blouse or two the wear
ability of this exquisite velvet COM
pose would be increased many times
over.
The fact of bright colorful velvets
for street wear assures one of a style

gay costumes such as has not been
witnessed for years and years.

Pet belonged to a circus, and though
time of the year he was exercised
each day.
He had very nice comfortable stall
and plenty of hay.
Often he had a lump of sugar or q
red apple. There were other ponies
belonging to the circus and they had
their stalls near his. They would
neigh and chat with each other and
shake their names and talk of the
circus and the people who had seen
them act
They would talk of parades and
brass bands, of having their names
tied with beautiful, bright ribbons.
They would talk of the trips they
had made to different places and of
how much alike each place looked.
They couldn't imagine how a town
would look without people lining the
sidewalks, looking at the street.
Of course the ponies had always
walked through the streets when they
were part of the parade.
And who wouldn't look at circus
parade?
Well, Pet had had a fine rest, and
he had had enough exercise and he
was looking forward to the spring
time when the circus would commence
to travel again.
All the animals weren't so anxious
to have the rest over as was Pet.
They enjoyed the winter time. But
exercise and training weren't enough
for Pet.
He longed for something more ex-
citing. And now that he saw the snow
falling he thought how wonderful it
