Just why_ we have been 80 slow to revive this fashion it is rather hard to see.

Trouble is always looking for you, 8o why g0 looking for it? If you do go looking for it you are pretiy sure to find it. Much the better plan is to watch out for it, but not look for it. ?

But now Reddy wi hard after him again, and Peter wondering what would happen next In Peter’s life something is always happening. He says his life is one happening after another. The appear ance of Mr. Grouse just at the right minute had been most unexpected. As Peter would have expressed it, Grouse just happened to be there the right minute. So perhaps it is no wonder that Peter was so sure that something more would happen. aidn’t have to wonder long. No, sir he didn’t have to wonder long. As he raced, lipperty-lipperty-lipperty-lip over the snow he was watching all the time in all directions us best as he could, Reddy Fox was behind him, but there was no knowing who might ya in front of him. It was well that Peter was keeping his eves wide open. Yes, &ir, it was well tl s keop. ing his eyes wide open Beioise this would be the last about him.

There was n® movenient at the top of that old stump now. It was gray, the gray of old wood, all but the top. The top was white. Peter noticed it. “That’s queer,” said Peter to him- self. “That certainly is queer. Why should the top of that tree he white and the rest of it gray? I think I'l keep away from there. That doesn’t Jook just right to me. The top of that tree has no business to be white. I wonder {f—-"" But Peter never did say just what he wondered. The white top of that old stump suddenly spread a pair of great wings and came floating out. Perhaps “floating” isn't just the right word, for there was speed in those great wings. *“Ha!" exclaimed Peter, and dodged under some low-growing hemlocks. Perhaps you have guessed who it was that was after Peter. Peter knew. He knew the very sec- ond that the top of that stump came to life. It was Whitey the Snowy Owl, who had came down from the Far North, as he o often does in the Win- ter. Peter hadn't known that he was anywhere about. He hadn't heard even a rumor that Whitey had come down. But he had suspected who it might be the moment he discovered that the top of that old stump was white instead of gray. “Now I am in for it,” thought Peter. “What with Reddy Fox and Whitey both after me, what chance has & poor little rabbit got? I just knew something was golng t happen. Yes, sir, I knew fit. I felt it in my bones. I'll have to keep under these hemlocks as much as I can. Oh, dear! Reddy can get me under the hemlocks, and Whitey can et me if I come out. I wish I had staved at home in the dear Old Briar- patch,” All"the time Peter was ranning. You see, Reddy Fox was still after him. So Peter was running and danc- ing underneath those snow-covered hemlocks, And when he ran from one such hiding-place to another his heart was in his mouth, or seemed to be. You see, then it was that Whitey the Snowy Owl had a chance to swoop at him. (Copyright.

I constantly commented on their health, noting their color, asking about their digestion, .and taking their tempera- ture when they had bad colds or were likely to have fever.

(Copyright. 1927.) MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS A Becoming Coiffure. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) T have dark, straight hair, a long face and a large nose. What way should 1 wear my hair? (2) Is there any way to make a large nose become or look smaller? @ I am 15 years old, five feet three inches tall and weigh 122 pounds. Am I overweight? BE. M. J Answer—(1) It is difficult to recom- mend a coiffure for you without actu- ally seeing you, but I can give you some hints on the principles of hair dressing for your type. A side part is usually most becoming and.the hair over the forehead should not be worn sleek against the scalp, but it should be fluffy or wavy. In some cases a long bang, starting at the crown of the head and curled under half-way down the forehead, is suitable. A closely shingled back should be avold- ed, as it makes the nose seem larger. A coil of hair low at the nape of the neck is most becoming, but if the hair is bobbed it may be worn rather long behind and curled under. (2) All you can do is to wear your halr becoming- ly and be careful not to use too light a shade of powder on your nose. (3) You are a few pounds over the aver- ‘age for your age and height, but not enough #o to worry over. LOIS LEEDS. ‘Spreading Hips. Deat Miss Leeds: I have been doing office work for three years which re- quires my sitting almost all day long. I am quite large about the hips and wonder if the above is not the cause of it? Please give me some exercises for overcoming this unsightly accu- mulation. I am five feet one inch tall, 20 years old and weigh 114 pounds BETTY. Answer—Your welght is just right, BLEMISHES? LARGE my dear. If your hip measurement is more than two inches larger than your bust, now is a good time to begin to-reduce them before the tendency to- ward excess flesh at this place ruins your figure.

I cannot say just how long the bleach- ing will last in your case, as that de- pends on the character and darkness of the hatr. The bleaching will soften the hairs.

The real question that this reader wishes to ask, and at length admitted, was: “How may this thing etiquette be applied to other than the more or less wealthy classes, if, indeed, it may be applied at all?” As this reader felt that the question was decidedly open to argument, with not a little against the idea of socalled etiquette for other than the well-to-do, and as others may have experfenced the same thought, we shall look at the que: tion again, and very carefully, today. tiquette, we have said, is a nice choice between the good, bad and personal and fmpersonal, and a choice personal and impersonal, and a choice, that must, from_ habit, become an in- stinctive one. In particular it is a discriminating choice—in _everything. Weaith and family position are purely matters of chance, as far as we as individuals are concerned. Good Dreeding is not a matter of chance, but of personal choice, and | good breeding requires only a desire on the part of the individual and the effort to carry out that desire. That, then, is where etiquette ap- plies to those of us who are not possessed of wealth!

We have sald.that etlquette is a nice choice, ing is consideration, self-control, cetera. J3ut our good breeding marked other than in our bearing. It is exemplified by our personal ap- pearance and by our surroundings as well as by our character. As good breeding covers up any show of great wealth of money when one pos- sesses this wealth, so does it cover any embarrassing lack of money and the hardships attendant upon this lack.
