Then you will need two more pieces— about six or seven inches long for the cuffs, which should also be finished with narrow hems. A strip of narrow black velvet ribbon, about a half-yard long, will be needed to make the little neck bow that is used to finish the collar.

The feminine fluttering, kilted plaits give new animation to the slim, straight skirt that hugs the hips. The Vionnet neckline, vestee and deep V of the bodice rolled into revers detract from breadth. The brief fitted sleeves are comple- mented by flared ruffies.

But while she was still a young girl her fortunes were so re- duced that she was serving as a kitchen maid in the household of Sir George Villiers at Brokesby, in Leicestershire. 8ir George, it should be explained, was descended from an old and honorable but rather obscure family. which Mary Beaumont had. He per- suaded his wife, Lady Villiers, to pro- mote her to the position of companion. From what we subsequently learn of Miss Beaumont's character, we can assume that if Sir George sought to better her situation it was at her impor- tunity, for there must already have been an agreement between master and maid. ‘There is no surprise, then, when we find the beautiful Mary, through the death of Lady Villidrs, be- and hence the mother of the brilliant George Villlers, who rose to be the celebrated Duke of Buckingham. Sir George died in 1605-6, and, hav- ing two sets of children to provide for, left his handsome widow very little.

When the perfection of a young girl's skin is marred by a noticeable growth the mother than to the child, who is unaware of its beauty significance. The small baby almost always has a growth of fine down, running low on the fore- head and often on the cheeks, and mothers of infants have been driven to desperate ideas of depilatories for temporary growth, which disappears of itself in time. When the growth on the arms and legs of the small girl is noticeable, the parent is aroused to a keen desire to “do something” about it'and there are frequent appeals to this department to sn%gest something that is effective and safe. Most of us know that superfluous hair can be temporarily eradicated by | depilatories. We know, too, that the results are never permanent, and the process of removing the hair must be repeated constantly. And besides mak- ing a poor youngster a constant martyr keep in mind that the use of such strong drugs on the tender skin of a child is almost certain to result .in severe burns. The electric needle in the hands of a competent operator might be used for a few hairs, but it is not advisable for such large areas as the arms or legs, and is likewise not always e.lective and sometimes resuits, in a scarred skin that is a more horrible blemish than a soft growth of hair, It remains thus to rule out these methods for children, and use some harmless means of making the hair less conspicuous. Peroxide used after a hot, soapy bath, which denudes the skin of oil and makes bleaching easier is per- haps the safest method that can be ad- vised for turning the hairs a lighter shade. We are taking it for granted that the child herself is distressed enough about her appearance so that the mother feels justified in taking steps to help the condition. Most children are quite unconscious of hair as a blem- ish, and mothers make a mistake to focus their attention upon it. We once knew a dear, sweet woman whose fetish was the removal of blem- ishes, A light crop of freckles on the face of her very biond daughter stimu- lated her to buy an assortment of freckle lotlons and creams which she insisted must be used nightly. A few hairs on the chin of her niece sent her scurrying for the tweezer to remove them. The result was that both daugh- ter and neice began to look at them- selves with bitterly, critical eyes, each R SR SRS of hair, it is often more distressing to | the removal of this quite natural and | to the use of depilatories, it is well to | FEATUR Reward of Patience.

He spent a great deal of time. {more than he should have—over | the old stone wall alongside the Old Orchard. He wanted to see and talk to Striped Chipmunk. And, as he couldn't possibly go where Striped Chipmunk was, he had to wait for Striped Chipmunk to come where he was. It seemed to him that never in all his life had Striped Chipmunk been s0 retiring. At last, early one morning, Peter's munk popped out from between stones of the old wall Peter's head. “Hello, Peter Rabbit! cried Striped Chipmunk in that sprightly way of his. “You seem to have been spending a lot of time around here.” “How do you know?” demanded Peter bluntly. “You haven't been around.” “Who says I haven't been around?” asked Striped Chipmunk, and chuckled when he said it. “I do,” declared Peter. “I've wasted a lot of time watching for you and you haven't been around.” “Let me correct you, Peter,” said Striped Chipmunk. “You may have wasted a lot of time. I dare say you have. However, you always seem to have plenty to waste. But you are wrong when you say I haven't been around. You haven't seen me, that is all. There hasn't been a day when I haven't been around. There are some advantages in seeing without being seen.” Meanwhile, Peter Rabbit was staring very hard at Striped Chipmunk. It was impolite. Yes sir, it was impolite. “Do you ever change blurted Peter Rabbit.
