Peter Rabbit just couldn't leave
Scrapper the Kingbird alone. At every
opportunity Peter was over in the Old
Orchard looking for Scrapper. You see,
he wanted to know lot OF Things.
His curiosity had been aroused and you
know how very curious Peter can be.
He felt that he just had TO know more
about that far-away land where there
is no Winter and the people who live
there. Scrapper goes there every
Winter and Peter had discovered that
Scrapper could tell him many strange
things
Now that you've told me about my
cousin who lives down there where 1t
is Summer all the time, l want to know
II any one else up here has any rela-
tives down there" said Peter.
Scrapper's eyes twinkled. "A lot OF
people up here have relatives down
there" said he. Why, / have cousins
down there myself. A good many of
the feathered folk have cousins down
there Bobby Coon, Prickly Porky the
Porcupine and Unc' Billy Possum have
relatives down there. So has Light
foot the Deer and so has Yowler the
Bobsat and so has Shadow the Weasel,
and the Rat family is very well repre-
sented there. Grandfather Frog and
Old Mr.. Toad have lot Of funny rela-
tives down there
BY this time Peters eyes were very
wide open and his ears were pointing
right straight up to the sky. Did /
understand you to say that Bobby Coon
has cousins down there?" he demanded
II guess there wasn't anything
wrong with your hearing" replied
Scrapper
Does he know it?" cried Peter.
who is he?" asked Scrapper, pre-
| tending not to understand.
Bobby Coon, of course" retorted
| Peter Does Bobby know that he has
| cousins down there?"
Il don't know whether he does or
not" replied Scrapper. I've never
| asked him"
| do these cousins look like Bobby
asked Peter eagerly.
| Some do and some don't" replied
| Scrapper. "Nosey doesn't and Kinty
| doesn't. but still they belong to the
same family that Bobby belong to. So
| l suppose in a way they are cousins.
BY this time Peter Rabbits eyes
were fairly popping out of his head

Border M0de.
As a variation of the all-over prints,
many women this Spring are choosing
designs which are concentrated at the
border of the material.
Both floral and geometric figures are
we'll liked and the material may be
made into the simplest of one of two
piece dresses without the addition OF
any trimming-except perhaps banding
OF solid color. Silks, woolens and cot

SEEK DIAM ONDS
in SLOW SEARCH
OF HOTEL RUIN

Two or three workmen and one
or two watchers have been care
fully moving debris front the base
ment in the ruins of the Gadsden
hotel during the last two days. The
point of operation was at the cor
ner formerly occupied by the Cham
Der of Commerce but it was not to
look for anything that had been lost
from the chambers rooms that the
search started. The ARTICLES being
sourit are OF a nature that made
it desirable to have the workmen
lift the bricks and pieces OF bricks
one at time and when they had
gotten down to the cinders and
ashes these were handled with as
much care as the bricks. They
were combed through the fingers
and scattered so that there was no
chance of any of the lost items
escaping observatios if they hap
pened to be in the handful
The search is being directed to
recover, If possible certain items
of jewelry owned by Mrs. f. o.
Mackey, who managed the prop
erty and who occupied a room over
the place being searched j. Fl.
Paul is directing the work with
Mrs. Mackey present at times. The
workers had moved the debris down
to the bottom of the basement at
one point yesterday and it was
found that the basement is several

BRODY RETURNS.
FROM EASTERN.
TRIP

Bernard Brody, of the Mems Shop,
has Just returned from an extended
buying trip to New York City and
other eastern points. En- route Mr..
Brody storped off for few days in
San Antonio, to visit his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Alber' Gordon, going from there
to st. Louis, where he purchased his
spring stock in shoes According to
Mr.. Brody, it is to be gay and bril-
liant season for the feet of fashion
this spring-what with all the lovely
new models to select from And models
of the very newest are arriving daily
at his store.
Brody says shoe fashions for spring
trip their way to fame and fortune as
blithely and calmly as the first spring
breezes watt themselves upon the
waiting world of fashion. Light col
ored suedes, antelope and reindeer
leathers trimmed with vivid or har-
monizing kids or reptiles are some Of
the most favored models for spring
wear, with black patent pumps still
very popular
In Chicago Brody purchased large
portion of the new spring stock for
men, which he says this spring, will be |
lively in color. The single breasted
type of coat seems to lead in popular |
lty, while in colors, light tans, sand
shades and new blue gray mixtures
seem to have the call.
In Philadelphia, Mr.. Brody visited
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Louis Brody,
and from there went on to New York
City where he spent majority of
his time, attending all the newest
shoes, interspersed with style reviews.
At the largest wholesale establish
nents that were visited by Brody they
we're showing numerous versions Of
.he ensemble, in heavy materials as
we'll as sheer georgette, and in one
piece frocks prints are very popular,
while several of the models are in
