Too Much Ornateness Condemned BY MARY MARSHALL. “Dress goods cut up into little bits and sewed together into fantastical shapes called trimmings are apt, if too treely ueed, to give an air of fussiness HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE FUSSY FROCK THAT IS STILL ATTRACTIVE.

There was no longer doubt in hizs mind that two strangers had ar-| rived on the Green Meadows. That much he felt quite certain of. It was clear fo Peter that Blacky the Crow | really had seen them. However, he couldn’t quite belleve all that Blacky | had said about them. and he still didn’t know who they were or where they had come from. Rabbit is possessed of great curiosity, as you all know.

Then, as early one morning he sat on the edge of thé Green Forest, try- ing to make up his mind to go home | tq the dear Old Briar-patch, as he| knew he should, he heard a sound that caused him to sit up very suddenly and prick up his long ears. It came rom far across the meadows, toward the edge of the Old Pasture. It was a voice. Of this there was no doubt. 1t wae a voice, but it was one that Peter did not recognize. ver had he heard it before. In a way it reminded the rooster up in Farmer vard.

Just in time, Peter saw Red- * dv and squatted down behind a little bunch of grass. Reddy was standing motionless. looking toward the Old Pasture, his black ears cocked for- ward.

This makes an excellent polisher and saves the trouble of kneeling on the floor.

He would be crazy to go over there now, and he knew it. And he did so want to see and meet those strangers. Peter sat up to watch Red dy Fox. Again came that “Huh!" sald Peter. “That fellow hasn't any sense. He may be very proud of himself, but he hasn't any sense. No one with any real sense would crow like that, and so tell everybody just where he is. I wonder if Reddy Fox will get him. I hope Reddy won’t until I have had a chance to see him." By this time Reddy was so far away that he was only a red spot. He was no longer moving fast. By this Peter knew that Reddy was near the crow. ing stranger. or, at least. thought he was. He listened cagerly for the stranger to crow again, but the stranger didn't. Reddy disappeared in the Old Pasture. Peter waited and waited. The voice of the stranger was not heard again. Did Reddy Fox catch him, oy didn't he? It seemed to Peter that ht would go crazy if he didn’t find out. (Copyright, erowing voicé. 1926.)

FHILADELPHIA, April 15, 1776. Why wait longer to break with Great Britain?. Are we not already inde- pendent? Then why not say so? This is the attitude of Samuel and John Adams, cousins, Who are in the Mas- sachusetts delegation In the Conti nental Congress, as expressed in let- ters written today. Samuel's letter was to Joseph Hawley in reply to a letter reporting that sentiment in the Bay Colohy is overwhelmingly for in | dependency. Says “the father of the town meeting": “I am perfectly satisfled with the Reascns you offer to show the Neces. sity of a publick & explicit Declara- tion of *Independence. I cannot con- celve what good Reason can be as signed against it. Will it widen the Breach? This would be a strange lQu-mon after we have raised Armies |and fought Battles with the British Troops, set up an American Navy, permitted the Infabitants of these Colonies to fit out armed Vessels to | cruize on all Ships, &c., belonging to any of the inhabitants of Great Britain declaring them the enemies of the united Colonies, and torn into Shivers their Acts of Trade, by al- lowing Commerce subject to Regula tions to be made by our selves with the People of all Countries but such as are Subjects of the British King. It cannot surely after all this be im- agined that we consider our selves or mean to be considered by others in any State but that of Independence.” | The vounger Adams writes to his wife, who has written the Congress. man from the Adams home in Brain tree, Mass., asking why a declara- tion of independency neec be delayed | longer.

To carouse is to ‘celebrate’—in every sense of the word! And though we do not hear the word ‘‘carousal” so much these days as before prohi- bition, we all know it as the term applied to a particularly jovial cele- bration, usually one where a good deal of liquor is consumed: indeed, one that assumes the nature of a revel or an orgy. In m its very the and means interesting origin vet syllable literally only “arouse’ for syllable “all out.” is a corruption of the rman “gar aus'—all out—meaning mpty your glass,” as the Germans would exclaim in drinking a health.

If your skin is not as clear as you would like it, but still isn't too bad— that is, if you've the ordinary sort of | indifferent complexion—try what I call an imitation Turkish bath at home. 1t {sn’t too relaxing, as i8 a real Turk- ish bath, o you can have one every day, and your skin will benefit ener- mously. Run the tub as full'as you can with hot water—as hot as you can stand it comfortably. If the water in your dis trict is hard use a little soda. or bath salts to make it soft. Buy yourself a stiff-bristled, long-handled bath brush and any good quality bath soap. Lie in the tub covered with hot wa ter for a minute or so. Then soap the brush well and scrub yourself all over a3 hard as you can—particularly on the back of the shoulders; vour skin will turn red under the heat and the friction of the brush. That is what vou want, for the heat qpens the pores and begins releasing the waste matter that {s always in them, Ereat quantities when the skin fen't nice looking.
