Rabbit, you are not listening to me at
all. / might as we'll be talking to a
stick or q stone. What is it you see
now"
Peter was sitting up very straight
looking of across the Green Meadows
and his long ears were beginning to
witch with excitement. Just then little
Mrs. Peter noticed a humming sound
that grew into a steady drone. She
hoped over beside Peter and also sat
UP that she might see better across the
Green Meadows. Way of. high above
the Green Meadows, she saw what
looked like q great bird. She knew
what It was. 1t was an airplane.
man-bird, as the little people of the
Green Meadows, the Old orchard, the
Green Forest and the Old Pasture called
1t. She had seen airplanes passing over
often.
"Pooh!" she exclaimed. That's moth

think you had never seen one by the
way you act"
TT Is coming down. Fuzzy. my dear!'
| peter always called Mrs. Peter Fuzzy
las truly as my name is Peter Rabbit,
it is coming right down on the Green
| Meadows
1t was true. The droning sound had
stopped and the great birdlike machine
was gliding down. 1t circled the Green
Meadows and then swept past the dear
old Briar- patch, causing Peter to duck
and timid little Mrs. Peter to run under
! the thickest bramblebush, all for no
reason at all. When the latter did
venture to go back, she found Peter
kicking up his heels, dancing about and
otherwise cutting a caper in the most
absurd fashion. For a long minute she
stared at him. Then she found her
tongue.
Have you suddenly gone crazy, Peter
Rabbit" she demanded.
IT told you I felt as If something
was going to happen" cried Peter,
kicking up his heels again. He has
come back! He just got out Of that
man bird. And here is Flip. l never
did like that pesky little Dog, but de-
clare, I'm glad to see him. Hear him
bark! 1 wish I could bark, but all
can do is to kick up my heels"
| For goodness sake. Peter, do have a
! little sense" retorted little Mrs. Peter
testify Who has come back?"
Farmer Browns Boy" cried Peter
| happily. Farmer Browns Boy and
Flip the Terrier. If didn't know that
dog would chase me, / would go right
over there to meet them"
You'll stay right where you are!"
declared Mrs. Peter with decision. And

Fall Coifures.

Every couture has its day and at
present the sleek mode OF a few years
ago is no longer seen. For who could
wear an Empress Eugene hat on q
straight sleek bob, for instance-the
bob which was so smart two years ago?
Even the fiat. wide waves of a year
ago won't quite do with these new
hats. No, the hair can't Just lie fiat
and close to the head. It must be
fiuffed out in adorable little feminine
curlS and puffs which peep out from
under these creations. For milady who
has been going in for feminine modes
for the last two or three years finds
that she must be still more feminine,
particularly in her couture, during the
coming season.
Does that mean that bobbed hair
must absolutely go? many of my read
ers ask anxiously. No. If bobbed hair
is becoming to you. keep it bobbed
But it cannot be a short bob It must
be- long enough to arrange In fluffy
curls and the ends must be turned up
in CurlS.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have the least sign of natural wave
are particularly blessed today. Such
hair can usually be made very fluffy
by running a wet comb through 1t OF
by steaming the hair lightly. TIC
steam the hair, first comb and brush
it until perfectly smooth and then

AUTUMN
By d. C. PEATTIE.

Every year at just this time the
hornets decide that my attic was put
there by an an-wise Providence for
hornets (for whom, plainly. the whole
o. creation was intended) TO spend the
Winter in. That cold, windy house of
theirs under the north caves is their
exile Egypt. My attic is their Canaan,
their promised land.

Up to the present the hornets have
never built more than a few cells Of
nest, owing to the fact that wage war
on them. But suppose some Autumn
they succeed! Who knows conven-

Just try and think Of few practical
suggestions.
l still remember my thrill of fear
when I went, as a child, on hornet
wars. So numerous in the orchards in

Then. with torches and dogs, by night

the tree and pour down kerosene upon
the nest. Then torch was thrust
aloft, the frail paperlng gray nest burst
into flames, and away we ned from the
wrath TO come.
Cruel-I grant you. But cruel were
the stingS that We endured, and there
Is no moral suasion with hornets. Then

the glare, and perhaps an animal would
start of In the underbrush, turning the

Sometimes there were opoSSum hunts
sometimes rattlesnakeS got bad, and the
bolder spirits set out in parties to root
them out of tangled underbrush. But

were the most dangerous; and II we
would only recognize the fact insec'S

Not Enough Individuals

A biographer usually has hard time Of it in this country. says Dr Rollo Walter Brown. speaking of his own field. We're too much alike to furnish good material. The first thing the biographer must do is pick out the individuality of his subject. It is sad but true that most people don't have enough individuality to be worth writing about. There are no sharp edges in their lives The world is full of perfectly decent people. perfectly sound and respectable peo- pie, but they are not interesting
 Not that Dr. Brown wants us to turn in- decent and unrespeetable. just to make bet ter stuff for biographies. But we are get ting pitifully standardized in this modern. initiative, machine-mad world. especially in America. We do the same things and have the same kind of homes. furniture and clothes, and think the same thoughts. We try mostly to be just like other people. Yet what life is for. if it has definite purpose. is probably to make us unlike other people, developing whatever unique qualities we were born with until we become genuine in- dividuals.
