WOMAN'S PAGE. Smart Lingerie in Gray BY MARY MARSHALL. 1 have been told by makers of smart lingerie that most women who can afford to be quite lavish in their expenditures wear lingerie to match their frocks. So when 1 see a very THE SMARTNESS OF GRAY FOR LINGERIE IS SHOWN IN THIS SET CONSISTING OF SLIP AND STEF- INS OF GRAY CREPE DE CHINE TRIMMED WITH GRAY LACE AND HAND EMBROIDERY smartly dressed woman in gray, I Just take it for granted that she is wearing lovely soft gray ninon, geor- gette or crepe de chine beneath, Dainty gray underthings have been much in demand among well dressed French women ever since the vogue for gray frocks and ensembles began —lovely soft things, cobwebby in color as well as in texture. There is a sort of peace of mind that comes to ithe fastidious woman in knowing that all her raiment is in harmony. It is only the girl of superficial elegance who can wear nile green lingerie under a rose-col- ored frock and feel perfectly well satisfled—just because she knows that it doesn’t show. ‘With frocks of dark brown, navy blue, deep green, deep red or black, BEDTIME STORIE Peter Hears of Mrs. Peter. rumor is a dangerous thing: sorts of trouble it may bring. —Peter Rabbit. Now, all the time that Peter Rab- bit was so busy up in the Old Pasture fixing things so that he could live there reasonably safe and comfortable, little Mrs, Peter was at home in the . dear Old Briar-patch. Peter had had * a feeling that she might follow him up there to the Old Pasture. Every day while he worked he would have a . feeling that little Mrs. Peter might be watching him. He didn’t admit it to himself, but right down in his heart he hoped that she would come. The A an “LIVING HERE,” REPLIED PETER BRIEFLY. truth is, Peter missed little Mrs. Peter, He missed her more than he was will- ing to admit even to himself. But little Mrs. Peter didn’t appear, and gradually Peter began to lose hope that she would. All this time he hadn’t heard from her. He didn't know a thing about her. You see, he hadn’t seen anybody who could give him any news of her. So it was with @ feeling of real joy that he discovered Tommy Tit the Chickadee one morn- ing, for he felt sure that Tommy ‘would have news. “Hello, Tommy,” he cried. “Why, Peter Rabbit, what are you doing up in the Old Pasture?” asked '!‘omm:;.d pretending to be very much surprised. “Living here,” replied Peter briefly. “Living here!” exclaimed Tommy it sweetly. “She’s got a perfectly anything about the trouble in Peter’s family. “Why, how can you be living Playing house and ] school and store Is always children's ] Favorite game — 1F peoplc plhayed at working more Beauty Tha! —s0 enchanting and allur- ing it commands the admir- ‘ation of all.

Beige tones are appropriate with brown. and gray with navy blue when- stockings are of a gray tone. Flesh color may appropriately be worn with black or the deep red tones; and with the soft deep purples that are sceasionally seen this season, orchid or mauve should be chosen. French dressmakers are always skillful in devising ways of trimming frocks at small cost. To be sure, some of the new frocks from Paris expensive and elaborate but others are made dis- tinctive by self-trimming, as we say.

(Copyright, 1927} AUTUMN BY D. C. PEATTIE. False Foxglove. Up on a sterile, stony hill, where last Spring bloomed trailing arbutus and in Midsummer the wild indigo, I wandered in a crimson Autumn twi- light, looking at the ground,as those botanically minded habitually do, at the little white quartz pebbles and the seed pods of the many plants that abode their destined hour and went their way. Was it a bit of Autumn color in a leaf that gleamed at me, or was it truly a flower? Bending low, I found it for the tiny bell flowers of the false foxglove, one of the last of all our flowers to bloom, and last, certaintly, of its fam- ily. Very dainty were its little ‘magenta-pink blossoms. If, indeed, these were ever gloves of foxes, they must have been the sprites of foxes, with almost ethereal paws. The false foxglove belongs to a curi- ous class of plants, that is probably semi-parasitic. Besides manufactur- ipg a little honest food, like other plants, in its leaves, it is generally believed that from the roots of plants about it—blueberries and wild indigo for the most part—it steals a little nourishment, too. But the stigma degeneracy that attends other para- sites, making them like to sickly things, has not fallen yet upon the little foxglove, which, indeed has barely set its tiny feet upon the downward path of one of the few sins that are possible in the simple morals of the vegetable world. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS here when I saw little Mrs. Peter only yesterday afternoon down in the dear Old_Briar-patch?” “She’s still there, is she?” asked Peter before he thought. “Why, of course, she's still there. Where else would she be?”’ demanded Tommy Tit. “Up_ here with me, of course, plied Peter grufily. “I don’t know why,” said Tommy Tit sweetly. *Ehe’s got a perfectly splepdid home down there in the dear Ol riar-patch and I think she’'s a S ittle person to stay there. Cer- , she seems very happy.” Peter pricked up his ears. “Doesn't she seem to be worrying about me?” he blurted out. ey J “Not that T could see, replied Tommy Tit. “She certainly seems very contented. She says the sweet clover never was sweeter and her friends are all very good to her. By the way, Peter, who is that fine young Rabbit I've seen around two or three times?” “What's that?” demanded Peter, sit- ting up very straight. “What's that you said?” The bright little eyes of Tommy Tit the Chickadee twinkled with mischief “I ask you who that fine-looking Rabbit is that I've seen around lately.” ‘“Where’ve you seen him?” demand- ed Peter suspiciously. Tl:Oh' Jjust around,” replied Tommy “Around where?” “Around the dear Old Briar-patch?” “I didn’t say so, did I?” retorted Tommy Tit. “I didn’t mention the Old Briar-patch, did 1? By the way, Mrs. Peter is looking her best these days, I think. I can’t remember when 1 have seen her look better. All the time I was talking to her yesterday she was dressing her fur and making herself look as nice as possible.” “Huh!" said Peter. cried Peter. ] FOR AUTUM Every color that fashion decrees ...

Yet no one ever bothers to comment on her achievements. No one even appears to notice them. Naturally she resents this. Espcially when the big fat girl, Vivian, gets a perfect salvo of ap- plause when she does a magnificent dive or a perfect tennis ace. Even when little Genevieve plays a hand of bridge well or gets around the course in less than her usual 130, the créwd is enthusiastic. But they watch Dorothy’s perfect finessing, and machine-like golf accuracy with cold indifference. Isn't it a mean deal? | ks g Yes and no, girls. Yes and no. Dor- othy is responsible for half the in- difference she rates. She herself takes the glory from her prowess. In fact she has created a situation wherein no one ever wants to give her credit for anything. The crowd almost resents her perfection. She does everything for effect, you see—or at least, she gives that im- pression. You never see Dorothy romping around the tennis courts as if she really enjoyed it.

She isn’t really happy unless some one’s watching her perform. And that, of course, marks her as not being a true lover ot sport. Actually she doesn’t seem to love sports at all. She won't go in swim- ming unless there's going to be a whole crowd down at the dock to watch. When there's no one around she Jjust slips into the water, paddles about with a few strokes, and hurries, shiv- ering, up to her bathhouse.

She doesn’t play bridge unless those in on the game are going to be good enough to appreciate her superior play. She gets no kick out of playing with inferior players who don't notice the perfection of her game. Nor does she enjoy golf unless some of her friends are along to watch her.
