ticularly important.
Skirts of the non-sports sort may
conveniently be grouped into one of
two classes-the dripping sort and the
sort that tend to hustle. And be-
tween these two skirts wide gulf Is
fixed. There is no possible sort of COM
promise, and the silhouettes which they
sponsor are as far apart as red is from
yellow, Uneven, apparently informal
irapery and an uneven, apparently ir-
regular hem line characterize the former
sort. More precise, more regular out
lines are to be found in the latter sort.
With a tendency 10 raise the drapery up

sometimes punching Of material, or

With the former fashion soft silks,
gcorgette and chiffon are the more ap-
propriate materials-with the latter,
sitter satins, taffetas. organdies and
other crisp fabrics. There is down.
ward dipping toward the back with the
first. an upward lifting toward the
back with latter. A decolletage deeper
at the back than the front characterizes
evening frocks of the first persuasion,
while in the latter sort we may see re-

the front
It is only fair to say that the dipping,
dripping. uneven. skirt and silhouette
have the floor at present and American
dreSSmakerS are in no hurry to see this
fashion superseded by the crisper. more
formal mode that is suggestive Of 1880.
The most attractive nightgown have
seen in the new collections of lingerie is
also the easiest TO make. Even If you
are no sort of dreSSmaker and have no
sort Of knack for cutting things out
you cannot fail to find this easy. So II
you are in need of new lingerie-wheth-
er you had planned to buy II ready made
or to make it yourself--I urge you to
send for the little pattern diagram that
shows you how TO make these new night
gowns. There is a sketch of the original
nightgown and suggestion for making

ways So please send your stamped,

Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit was eager to know more
about his tropical cousin who lives
away down in the Sunny Southland
called Panama, which is visited every
Fall by Scrapper the Kingbird on his
way TO lands even farther South. Pc
ter hadn't known that he had a cousin
down there until Scrapper mentioned
It, Then Peter was fun of questions, as
he always is.
Are you quite sure about that tan?"
Peter asked.
What tailp" replied Scrapper, pre-
tending that he didn't know.
Why. the tail OF that cousin OF
mine way down there You said 1t

about it?"

bits cannot follow their mothers tail. as
my babies can. / think l prefer a
white tail"
But" pointed out Scrapper. when
they run they don't show a white tail
to their enemies as you do. Not having
white tail that cousin OF yours can
disappear more quickly than you can"
Does he live in a dear Old Briar-
patch?" asked Peter eagerly.
Scrapper shook his head. NO" said
he. he lives In the jungle, and
jungle is really what you call the Green
Forest"
Then he's like Jumper the Hare,
isn't he2" said Peter. Il mean. he's
like him In choosing a place for his
home"
Somewhat" replied Scrapper. "He
likes the deep jungle. but l think he
likes even better the edge OF the jungle,
where the plants grow thicker. He is
like you in that respect. He doesn't
move about much In daytime. so /
haven't seen much OF him. He likes
the night best"
Peter nodded approvingly. That Is
where ne shows sense" said he. Where
does he spend the day?"

When you are approached by friend

thing" Of business nature, what are
your first reactions? Most Of us have

that people are motivated for the most

II we are let in, somebody may be let
out.
Not few Of us have gotten in on

there was quite a crowd in the base
ment or cellar.
In the first place. II any one at any
time promises you abundant profits you
may assume at once, without even
making inquiry, that you are also being
asked to assume abundant risks. The
two are inseparable.
Secondly, few business men with
really good" things are anxious to
make them public property. Frequently
the public is asked to assume the risk
and furnish the capital, and the COM
pany Is so organized that any unusual
profits will go to people other than
the initial investors who took the
chance"

Fourthly, investigate the directorate
