new about them. And there y
always something new to be found.
We notice the crepes, all dull and
messy, have bright taffeta gath
cred into wide perky rufdes around
the neck, or else they have very
clever collars of organdy or pique.
The interest at the moment seems
to be at the neck rather than at
the shoulders, although sleeves
have many variations. Black and
white checked tafieta makes the
big neck ruffle on Q black frock.
with accents Of bright green but
tons. The stiffness Of the taf1eta
allows 1t to be worn rolled up at
the back, or any becoming way.
Broadly striped taffeta Is also used
for trimming, as shown In com.
bination of bl-ck, gray, red and
lavender used on the diagonal
gathered around the neck and
continuing down the front IN two
fat bands This appears on o
bla * crepe frock and is particu-
larly good for immediate wear.
THERE are loads Of black frocks,
L each with a different kind OF
neck treatment, and would could be
better for that extra dress that serves
so many purposes? A black bolero
frock Is very smartly trimmed with
3-inch bands OF printed crepe IN
red, white, yellow and blue. A dou-
ble-width band, finely pleated, forms
the collar, and there is strip OF It
from collar to belt. The fan-pleated
sleeves are shirred fatty into the
armholes and increase In width
toward the wrist. They have pointed
insets Of the figured silk.
A very attractive Sunday night
frock has black faille skirt and q
white crepe blouse. To trim the
bodice there are two bows Of white
striped in black soutache braid and
edged with metal bands to keep them
fiat, and the sleeves that are full
above the elbows are banded In SOU
tache at the lower part of the puffs,
Just above the long, tight-cuf1 Sec
tions.
Another Sunday night frock In
black chiffon Is simplicity itself, with
its high neck and long full sleeves
accented by deep collar and cuffs OF
striped organdy after Queen Chris
tina.
A mossy beige crepe in cross
stripe weave makes a very ehec-
tive and new-looking Spring frock
with q splashy bow Of dotted
brown taffeta ribbon at the front
and deep haring cuffs. also of rib
bon. The skirt has the new front
fullness introduced by means Of
narrow cores that widen toward
the hem.
THE flower prints are lovely and
the color combinations very ap-
pealing. For instance. those rich
raspberry reds with dark blue, and q
little mixture Of yellow, white and
beige to tighten 1t up, is the material
Of a fascinating Sunday night dress,
with cowl neck and long sleeves, and
its only trimming long double sash

YOHNNY CHUCK sat on the old
stone wall looking down at Peter
Rabbit. On Johnny's face was
~ such o funny look. Peter Rab-
bit had Just begged him to sit
up and look for his own shadow.
"ITl not do anything of the sort, /"
replied Johnny gruffiy. MY shadow
doesn't interest me in the least. II
1t interests you, look at 1t all you
please while you have the chance.
You won't have 1t long, for I'm going
back to bed"
what do you want him to look for
his shadow for?" asked Striped Chip
munk, looking quite as puzzled as did
Johnny Chuck. II can see mine," he
added.
"Of course you can," retorted
Peter. "You can see 1t just the same
as I can see mine and as Johnny
Chuck can see his If he will only sit
up. Anyway, it doesn't really matter
If he doesn't see 1t as long as we
know he Is out and can see it."

anyway" demanded Striped Chip
munk.

IF I did would I be asking?" re-
piled Striped Chipmunk.
Don't tell me that you don't know
that II Johnny Chuck comes out on q
certain day (February %, he can tell
by his shadow how much longer Win
ter will last" cried Peter.
"How can he do that?" demanded
Striped Chipmunk. What has his
shadow got to do with it,"
why, If he can see his shadow he
will 60 back and sleep for six weeks
longer, but If he cannot see his shadow
he will know that Mistress Spring
will get here early and so will not
sleep so long. Anyway, that Is what
they say" explained Peter.
"And who are they?" demanded
Johnny Chuck, sitting up very straight.
"Oh, q lot Of people" replied Peter
lamely.

possibilities and make one anxious to
start Immediately and try ones luck
at one Of those Spring coats that
really do not look at all difficult to
make.
Another thing Of interest to be
watching now Is the fact that
gloves are being shown in bright
co1ors for the street. We have be-
for evening in various fabrics, and,
Of course, the striped knitted sports
gloves have been popular during
the Winter; but now we have still
q different kind Of glove, and that
Is bright-colored pull-on suedes,
green, blue and red. They are
among the higher priced novelties,
but they will stand washing, so do
not be afraid to try them. They
are priced at IS.
A FASCINATING novelty that you
will adore Is the drum upstick.
You have probably seen it, all tncased
in that darling little red drum box.
They come In blue and green, too, and
now they are showing powder boxes
IN these same intriguing designs.
They would be very smart on a mod
ern dressing table, and then, too, they
would make attractive little prizes.
Any one would love to have one.

demanded Johnny. There Is your
own shadow and there Is Striped Chip

"But those don't count" cried
Peter.
Neither does mine," retorted
Johnny. "Of all the silly ideas ever
have heard Of, that Is one Of the sill
lest. I never in my life came out to
look for my shadow, and have no
more idea than you have how much
longer Winter will last"
"But I have an idea now!" cried
Peter. "It will last six weeks longer.
There's your shadow and that proves
It,"
"That proves nothing but the fact
that jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun is
shining and that some people are too
silly for words" retorted Johnny
Chuck. "I don't know how much

Everyday Psychology
Manners and Customs.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

There could be no society without It's
manners and customs. It would be
impossible to get along If we did not
expect our neighbors to react in con-
formity to custom. Everyday life
would be so complex that all our e1er-
giles would be absorbed in figuring out
what to do next.
Manners and customs simplify So
ciety. Take away the everyday ameni-
ties of social intercourse, and We would
have very few friends. In all social
comings and goings, we would be
obliged to use candid explanations,
many Of which would be painfully irri-
tating.
Manners and customs are, of course,
nothing but social habits which the
group has accepted. In time they be-
come so forceful as to seem natural"
Most of our so-called natural rights"
are only social habits. Legislation con-
trary to long established custom be-
comes unenforceable, even If it be en-
acted for the social good.
According to william James: Habit
Is the enormous fy-wheel Of society,
It's most precious conservative agent.
It alone Is what keeps us all within
the bounds Of ordinance"

With this, Johnny Chuck Jumped

BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, December 29.-The
stock market toned down its pre-
New Year celebration today, although
leading issues generally managed to
hold their own or add moderately TO
their previous advance. Profit taking

Tobacco Exchange
Votes to Suspend
Operations at Once

NEW YORK, December 29-The
Board of Governors of the New York
Tobacco Exchange today voted to
discontinue trading at once and dis
solve the exchange as soon as the
necessary papers can be prepared.
While official comment was with
held Immediately following the action
of the board, it was understood in
well-informed quarters that the de-
cision to close the exchange, which
has been in operation since Septem-
ber 49, was due to the lack of suffi-
cient business to continue operations
profltably.
1t was reported in commodity brok-
erage circles that tobacco trading
might be revived on one of the other
already established exchanges at some
