WOMA N'S PAGE New Hats Are BY MARY Every one knows that hats are more formal now than they were a year or more ago That is, they have more form, and there is more variety in the forms offered.

Most people like to have their vanity tickled. Peter does. Soft- g:d Molly discovered this the first time y met and never lost an opportunity to lead him to think that she thought him the most wonderful person in all the Great World. She would sigh soft- ly and say: “How big and strong and brave you are. 1 don't mmu you are afraid of anything. I ire” people who are big and strong and not afraid. It must be nice to be that way.’ Now this would_tickle Peter's vanity and he would sweil up and try to look big and strong and brave and worthy of admiration he tnought he saw in those ®oft eyes. Without realizing that he was doing it, he would begin to boast. He told Molly about all his adventures since as a little fellow he started out to make his way in the Great World, and could you have heard him you might have thought that each of 'his narrow escapes was due wholly to his own smartness, and that no such thing as fnrlun?hmhldlrfl’hw of them. He toid Molly his life hi A all but that part that included little rs. Peter. Not once did he ever men- on Mrs. Peter. He didn't even hint to Molly that there was a Mrs. Peter. “Reddy Fox is smart, but he isn't smart enough to catch me," boasted Peter. “He has tried times enough, ness knows, and Mrs. Reddy with fm, but here I am. It is a long time since they last tried to catch me. I guess they know they are enough.” “How wonderful!” sighed Molly, and Ber soft eyes seemed to fairly glow with admiration “Old Man Coyote thought he was not amart Light and Soft MARSHALL. off into thin alr.
