WOMAN’S PAGE. New Light-Weight Evening Wraps BY MARY MARSHALL. By the time women In the cooler are ready to turn their thoughts to warm-weather clothes there is no 1o any special novelty about the nor s there usually any un- oertainty as to what sorts of frocks, Wraps and hats will be worn.

Palm Beach, the Riviera, and other fashion- able Winter resorts serve as experi- ment stations 1n this matter of Spring fashions, and we who remain at home profit by the experience of the women Who have worn Summer frocks and hats and wraps in J:buary and February. In the meantime there no longer seems to be anything incongruous in seeing wide-brimmed straw hats in the shops shortly after Christmas and to peer through the snow and frost at show windows showing light-colored lnen sport frocks. We wrap our- selves in our heaviest furs when we &0 out on cold February nights and think the while of new evening wraps of lace, georgette or silk. Of course, if you are going South for the tag end of Winter you will want to have one of these new light- welght evening wraps. Maybe you will find it worth while to zet one now that s all you need for evening on warm Spring and Summer nights makes a delightful little extra wrap to alr may not be warm enough to make low-cut frocks comfortable. One evening wrap of this sort made of coarse, black net edged and lined with silk crepe. coarse flower embroidery the front There are charming black or grege- colored lace capes that give a bit of warmth and a touch of novelty to the evening frock and may be worn now as one would wear a shawl. Some of the French dressmakers are making many of these lace capes for evening and usually they are embellished with embrotdery. 4 (Copyright. 1927.) decorates MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

When Peter Rabbit popped out of the old home of Johnny Chuck in the far corner of the Old Orchard he saw ® queer procession. It consisted of Jimmy Skunk, Mrs. Jimmy and six fully grown children. One behind an- other they were ambling along over the snow up through the Old Orchard toward Farmer Brown's dooryard. Peter Rabbit was so interested that he forgot he was hungry. Curiosity took the place of hunger. “Where can those Skunks be go- ing?” muttered Peter. “They act just as if they know where they are going nd as if they are going there with a purpose. It must be they know where there is something to eat and they are going straight there.” At a safe distance Peter followed along_behind. He kept close to the Old Stone Wall for safety's sake. None of Jimmy's family looked behind. Such a sight as they made, even in the dusk. One was nearly all white, one was nearly all black, one had a great broad stripe down the middle of the back, one had a double stripe, and each presented a picture of perfect in- dependence. Peter sizhed as he looked t them. “I don't exactly want to be p Skunk.” thought Peter, “but I hould like to know what independ- nce of that kind is like.

Could he have looked in Peter would have seen Mother Brown, mother of Farmer Brown's Boy, you know, standing in the doorway which led into the kitchen an dsmiling as she looked down at several plates of food —table scraps—on the floor of the shed. And as she looked she talked to those Skunks. “I had an idea you would be around tonight,” said.she, “and you see I didn't forget you.” None of the Skunk family said a word. Each was too busy. But each was taking the greatest care that the tail, which you know is the danger signal of the Skunk family., should not be lifted too high. Each carried his or her tail low, which is a sign of friendship. Peter didn’'t know it, but Jimmy Skunk and his -family had been fed in that back shed many times, and they and Mother Brown were the very best of friends. (Copyright. 19 LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

And we got the table ready to play, because the last two boys would he along pretty soon, and 1 was hoping the building would catch fire or we wouid be 1aided or something would stop the party before they found out my wife wouldn't let me give them a drink. And the door bell rang again and I thought., “It will all have to come out now, because it is time to suggest a drink when evervhody has arrived,” and I opened the door again. Well, there were the last two fel. lows, looking more unhappy than I !felt even, which I would have thought impossible until I saw them, and the reason was that their wives were with them, which, of course, is plenty of reason at a poker game. Well, the two women breezed in and one of them sald to Joan, “I told my husband I was just coming along and keep you company this evening,”’ and the other sald, “And she called me up and told me and I told my husband that I was coming, too, and we do hope you don’t mind,” and Joan didn’t. But the two husbands were looking so sad and apologetic that I felt so sor) my own sorrow. So Joan was taking the women's coats and all the other fellows were trying to look as if they not cnly didn't mind the women being ther’ but were real happy about it, and the two poor hushands dragged me into a corner and I thought they were | going to apologize and I said: I un- derstand. It's all right.” And one of them said: “That ain't the half of it. If you bring out a drink my wite will etart a riot.” And the other one sald, “My wife will start two riots,” and 1 sald, “Well, *and they said, “You've got to stand by us,” and I thought fast and I said, “Well, it puts me in a kind of embarrassing position before the other fellows, but you explain it to them while I get out some cigars and I guess it will have to be all right.” and they and for all anybody knew, I had a barrel of pre-war Scotch waiting for them, and 50 my reputation is saved and it didn't hurt “the two fellows’ reputations, he. cause the other boys were so sorry for them. And I lost $21.40, but T can earn $21.40 back again, and if I had lost my reputation I could not have done anything. SUB ROSA BY MIMI Marie's Mistake Marle worried fearfully about her popularity. She took it all very seri- ously from the first momeht she started to go out. She told ker friends confidentially that the one thing in the world she wanted was to have a dozen bo crazy over her at once. She wasn't a natural born belle. She had to work for her popularity. And having attained what she cons ered a reasonable amount of s she bitterly resented any on tempt to wrest the crown from hes Eagerly, she watched the new girls —jealously she counted up their con- quests—furiously she fought when they showed signs of poaching on her preserves. When Peggy came bursting into town Marie shuddered with fear. Peggy had everything necessary to make a really popular girl and Marie was clever enough to scent a very dangerous rival, BNe was also clever enough to make friends with Peggy immediately. Bhe determined that any success the new girl might have would rebound to her—Marie's—credit. After becoming chummy with the bright-eyed newcomer, she began to make parties of four. “Hello, Jim,” she called her special standby one morning. “Will you bring Rod up for the evening? 1've got a new girl to meet him —awfully sweet kid. You e sure to tell hin “Good-looking?” Jim asked. Marie stiffened. Jim was always so much interested in good-looking girls. She wasn’t going to lose him. Yet she knew it was bad policy to knock other women. “She's stunning,” she admitted. It was, she reflected, good dope to praise the rival—made a hit with the boys. “Bu she added playfully, “don't you dare to fall for her. I warn you I shall be furious if you stop rushing me because of this new queen.” More of the same sort of conversa- tion—and Jim hung up with the def- inite conviction that he was about to meet a world-beating little vamp. Being a normal youth, with no great love for any one girl, the pros- pect pleased him. Marie had taken pains to speak well of the other girl—but she hadn't taken pains not to make her sound too dangerous. She should simply have announced that Peggy was attractive. It would have been useless for her to have tried to be catty. But she needed’t have warned the boy friend away. She shouldn't have held the threat over his head— shouldn’t have tried to coax him into promising he wouldn't like the new girl better than her. ‘That fired his imagination, gave him something to look forward to, made him await his meeting with Peggy with eager anticlpation. Marié had, by her desperate efforts to hold her man, gone a step too far. Praise the deadly rival, but don't give Rer too much publicity.

CHAPTER XXXVI Jessica Does Some Thinking. At luncheon Jessica was as cool and composed as if ‘there had been no ! passionate love scene on the bank of As a matter posed as she seemed. Upon thelr arrival at the cabin she had gone to her room. Once there she had powdered her face and applied rouge and lip-stick. No mere man can ever realize what a judicious use of make-up does to the average woman. It supplies her with a mask under which she feels she may hide. And certainly Jessica was no_ exception. But for all of her careful manipula- tion with powder puff and lip-stick, she was slightly disconcerted. Jessica was not without experience —of a kind. The word “petting” she used, but had never quite liked. In a sense it offended her. There was something cheaply vulgar about if. She had flung the word at Mark merely to hide her real feelings, and vet as she faced this thought in her mind, she didn't know exactly just what her real feel- ings were. Jessica had been kissed! Other men had paid her assiduous attentions long before Ray had en- tered her life. She had looked upon kissing as a pleasant pastime when it was not accompanied by anything serious. Of course, since, her engage ment Ray had kissed her seriously and she had accepted his kisses be- cause one always kissed when one For lack of a better word, she used the word “frenzied” to describe them. But that wasn't right either. In her heart of hearts she regretted the fact that she had accused him cf “petting. Somehow it sounded silly and flapperish. And yet it had been necessary for her to do something. He MASKS BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. hadn't noticed, but she had been as breathless as he was when he hal released her. And she had kissed him back, too! Why she didn’t know! Oh, well, if he wanted to waste himself on a half-baked old maid it wasn't her quarrel. Let him go ahead with his plans. Let him invite this paragon of virtue who called herself Irene to pay them a_ visit. What did it matter, anyway? And as she had said that morning, it would probably be very amusing. For some reason, she lingered in her room. Mrs. Morse knocked at the door to tell her that lunch was ready, and still she lingered. She kept lookins at her- self in the mirror and as she looked vague lines of poetry kept running through her brain We were very tired. we weer very merry. We had, £ons back and forth ali night on the Siily. to think of that now! What would it be like to go back and forth on a ferry all night with Mark?
