look. "As I live. it is Bowser the
Hound" he exclaimed. Now. what is
that fellow coming over here for? Well,
there's one thing about it, he can't get
into the dear Old Briar Patch"
NO" retorted little Mrs. Peter, but
he can stay on the outside while that
other dog is inside. Then what are we
going to do?"
Peter scratched long ear with long
hind foot He was already beginning to
wish that he had kept still in the first
place. Perhaps" said he hopefully,
"BoWSer won't come way over here"
But Bowser did. He had heard the
barking of Flip and he had come over
to investigate. Now, Bowser dearly de-
lights to hunt Peter Rabbit, but Bowser
is wise. He knows very we'll that he
cannot get into the dear Old Briar
Patch and not get his long ears torn by
brambles and his face scratched. He
knows, too, that inside the Briar Patch
he cannot move around freely. So never
has he bothered Peter Rabbit when
Peter was safely at home. But this was
different. Flip was inside the Briar
Patch and Flip was small. Bowser was
quick to see that two of them might
do what one couldn't do alone.
Bow, wow! You drive Peter Rabbit
out and I'll catch him!" barked Bowser
He is Quit" barked Flip in return
There's another rabbit with him.
That must be Mrs. Peter" replied
Bowser. Where are they?"
Just run around the Briar Patch and
you'll find them" replied Flip. III
wait for them in here"
So BowSer started around the dear
Old Briar Patch and in a moment or
two his wonderful nose had found the
fresh scent of Peter and little Mrs.
Peter. Bow, WOW, wow!" roared Bowser,
as he took up their trail Peter and
little Mrs. Peter ran around to the other
side of the dear Old Briar Patch but
Just then Flip poked his head out in
front of them. They turned to run
back, but there was Bowser coming
around the end of the dear Old Briar
Patch. Flip scrambled out. Peter and
Mrs. Peter were now between Flip and
BoWser How Peter did wish then that
he hadn't been tempted to tease Flip!
How he did wish that he had kept per-
fectly still when Flip had first ap-
peared!

Clothes Freedom at Cannes.

With sun bathing on the crest of its
wave of popularity at French bathing
beaches this year, the amount of license
in the matter of clothes is particu-
larly marked at Cannes. Bathing dress
is permissible practically everywhere
At one evening event at the Casino a
very pretty girl was much admired in
well fitting white satin trousers, with
a very original red and white embroid-
cred silk jumper. Side by side with
her were girls in the latest evening
gowns, while men in evening dress chat

grey flannel trousers and sleeveless
sweaters. Fred Scovell, society leader
n Cannes, won several matches in q
tennis tournament dressed in dark blue

ation speakera While . student in the school he made up his mind to continue his education in higher in- stitutionA but to gain admittance to such there was need of money. There was . large family for the father to support out of his earnings and it was practically impossible for him to finance his sons education. Stanley however. foreaw this ob- stacle. and bent on going through the 'mill'. he worked in spare time while in tho high school to save as much n possible. In- sufficient funds however forced him to give up the idea of continuing his education, and for . year fol- lowing his graduation from high school. he worked in a local factory.
 In the fall of 1912 he had suffi- ciant funds to finance at least a year of his education. and entered Yale college. from which he graduated with . degree Of Bachelor Of Arts in 1916. The four years spent there were not only given up to studies. but work as well. He had to work in spare time and during vacation to enable him to continue his studies as we'll as in the Yale Law school. from which he was graduated two years later. He had to work his way through and accomplished it by taking any job that offered itself from scrubbing hathtubs to working in the college bookstore. and tutor ing during vacation periodA While in college he was honored by the Phi Beta Kappa national society. Of which he was made a member.
 He found time for other activities and for two years was associate editor Of the Yale Law Journal and was prominent in the activities of the Book and Gavel society and the Phi Alpha Delta fraternity, Upon his graduation he enlisted in the service of the U 6. Army and for the remainder of the year 1918 was found in the headquarters at Camp Devens MasA and Camp Upton, Long Island.
 In January. 1919. he became a member of the law firm of Klett & filling. with which he remained un- til 1925. when he took over the practice of Attorney Henry Nowicki. who had died that year. Soon after beginning the practice of law, he be- came affiliated in the political move- ments about the city and became prominent in republican circles. He was rewarded for his zeal and the interest he took in the affairs con- corning the welfare of the city in 1927, when he was appointed as- sistant clerk of the state senate, which office he held for two years. When the present session opened. he became assistant clerk of the house or representatives. He is known for his efficiency and reliability in performing the duties entrusted to

 Forty-two years ago there came 10 this city 2 young man and his wire. who were destined to be the proud parents of the first Polish judge in this vast and picturesque New Eng land. They have lived to see the day when their boy. Stanley. waa nominated and unanimously ap- pointed judge of the city and police courts of this city. Oddly enough. the honor came to the son on the heels of his parents' 18th wedding anniversary. which they celebrated quietly last Saturday.
 Judge Stanley J. Traceski. known to his colleagues and members or the state legislature and senate as "stanley". at the age of Sb has at- tained the distinct honor of holding two responsible public offices. that of court judge and assistant clerk Of the senate-the only Polish-Ameri- can ever to hold these offices jointly in America. and the first to sit on the bench of a city and police court in New England.
 Judge Traceski, native of this city, was born in 1893. the son or MT. and Mrs. John and Gabriella Traceski, who came to this country from Poland in 1885 and after g years residence in Philadelphia, made their permanent home in the Hardware Center of the World. The father. a carpenter by trade was the second man of Polish birth to settle here and his wife was the first woman of her nationality to re- side in this city. Seven years after their arrival here Stanley was born
 There were 10 children in the family. eight of whom are living and it was no easy matter for g man of moderate income in the years when labor was cheap. tc bring up family of such propor. tions and give each child a liberal education. |.
