BURGESS, Oid Jed Thumper Changes His Mind. | ~To tarn about and change your mind, 'Tis often wise, as you will find, —Peter Rabbit. When Old Jed Thumper, the big gray Old Pasture and was the father of little | Mrs, , Petef Rabbit, ‘told Peter that he was all right he told the truth, but not all the truth. He was all right! to the extent that he was alive and | still able to hop about. But he wasn't | all right in that he was half etarved. | The truth is, if he had come out and | attempted to fight Peter he wouldn't have stood any show at all because | he was weak from lack of food He knew it and that s why he had not tried to drive Peter away Peter guessed this. You sea Peter | had seen for himself how littls food | there was to be found in the Old Pasture with evervthing so covered with fce, and though he had never liked Old Jed Thumper and in | past had alwars been a little af Yof him, he now was truly sorry for |him. S0 he urged Old Jed Thumper ! to come down to the dear Old Briar! Patch with him. But Old Jed Thum. per_obstinately shook his head. ' “I tell you I'm all right here” he| declared over and over again. ‘T | get_enough 1o eat somehow.” { |, “No_you won't"_ Peter contradicted him.. “You'll get’some food, of course, but' you won't get enough. You| haven’t had enough since the storm. | You won’t get enough until the ice on | | the bushes “and trunks of the young L ‘hich suggested sleeves, were edged | ith the same, trimming.

Another attractive evening gown seen was of ‘turquoise blue brocaded ~velvet. The bodice was cut on basque lines, and the ample skirt was hooped at eachqbip so that it was decidedly bouffant. Narrow bands of rhine stones linked together with silvery chains formed the only trimmiag. serving as. shoulder straps and as girdle. The afterpopn frock Hlustrated is of kitten's nar érepe, in the shade of sray, which holds an elusive cast of lavender. The hlouse is oddly cut so that it has two long ends which tie in a plquant-bow over one shoulder, and, the dangling streamers form araceful draperies which fall nearly 10 the floors ;- Fhe flat girdle is drawn into-a bow: ntithe opposite hip and its ~nds form-a wpral panel on -that side.

S Sir Walter Scott and Charlotte i Carpenter. “She is not 3 beauty by any mean; but her person and face are very en- gaging.” This was how Scott, the Scoteh novelist, described his sweetheart, Charlotte Carpenter. But, despite his modesty on her behalf, Charlotte w: a very fair girl and a bright person, a brunette with a mischievous eye. She was Scott’s second love, his first sweetheart having jilted the raw lit- erary beginner in favor of a'learned professor. Charlotte's real name was Charpentier and she was a_ French girl whose relatives resided in Eng- land. Her French spiritedness is shown in this letter to her flance: “If 1 could only believe that my {1etter gave you half the pleasure you {express I should almost think, my | dearest Scott, that I should get very | fond of writing, merely for the pleas- lure to indulge you—and that is say- iing a great deal.

I shall try. I hope to have very soon the pleasure of seeing you and to tell you how much I love you; but I wish the first fortnight was over.
