§ M@%M FOR THE GENTLEMAN FORMALLY AT EASE originally in this country, it is natural that American men should favor this truly American fashion. It was primarily intended as a substitute for the tailcoat under formal conditions at home or when men only are present. While we can report a glowing use of tailccats on the part of many men, particularly in the larger communities, the ease and informality of the dinner jacket assure it a permanent place in the ward- Tobe. No fashion is more typically American than the tuxedo. Created ‘The first gentleman at the left wears a turn-down collar and black bat tie with his double-breasted peak lapel dinner jacket, while at the right & more formal touch is given to the outfit by the use of a bold wing collar and & black butterfly tie. The jacket is a single-breasted shawl collar model. While :.h.:‘;hlwl collar is faced with satin, the peak lapel model carries a rib silk 8. Dress gloves are favored in mocha or chamois and by preference carry definite stitching and but- toned wrists. A feather carnation or a corn- flower solves the Winter problem of fresh boutonnieres. Of course, when obtainable, fresh flowers are more desirable. dther the black or midnight blue homburg or the collapsible silk opera hat is correct for wear with the dinner jacket. The opera hat is, of course, the correct hat for wear with tails. With the single-breasted dinner Jacket whether you wear a white pique, black ribbeq silk or to-match- the-suit fabric waistcoat is a mat- ter of choice. ‘This white scarf of crocheted silk provides protection for the immac- ulate collar and shirt, Studs and links for wear with the dinner jacket may be of plain gold, smoked pearl or may even have a touch -of subdued color. The key chain is a practical bit of formal Jewelry and the one shown has & new trick key link in the shape of a whip. Socks may be silk or lisle, ribbed or flat, with white or self clock or without, as long as they are al- ways black. For evening wear, the black patent leather oxford, simple in line and unadorned, is the only correct shoe. . (Oopyright, 1936.)

When Tarzan liad struck down his torturer, he turned to the door by which he had entered the throne room. Since he would be punished anyway, he might as well make a desperate effort to escape. So, wielding the torture cuff as & weapon he at- tacked the guards. His furious assault cleared a path to the door, and he flung himself against it. for she knew that six of her strangest subjects were required to move that giant stone portal. But to her Queen Zalya laughed, astonishment, the door creaked and moved open. Bedtime Stories The Startled Cousins. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Take note of trifles if you would From dally life get all you should. —Peter Rabbit. T WAS Winter, There was no doubt about it, not a shadow of doubt. Jack Frost had been late in coming, but now that he had arrived, it was plain that he had come to stay and that he was trying to make up for lost time. He had locked Jerry Muskrat under the ice with which he had covered the Smiling Pool. In the same way he had locked Paddy the Beaver in his own pond in the Green Forest.. Snow covered the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, snow that lay deep and was covered with an icy crust. It was this icy crust that had “HE HAS MADE UP FOR IT SINCE,” REPLIED PETER. + tempted Peter Rabbit to leave the dear Old Briar-patch for a visit to the Green Forest. He could scamper over this crust with no trouble at all and | he was making the most of the op- | portunity. But for this crust he couldn’t have left the dear Old Briar- patch, for Peter has no snowshoes such as his cousin, Jumper the Hare, possesses. Of course Jumper's are not real snowshoes. He has big feet, with long, spreading toes with stiff | hairs between them. These enable him to walk and run without sinking in when the snow is soft. The result | is just as if he really wore snowshoes, and to many people he is known as the Snowshoe Rabbit. Peter reached the Green Forest safely and at once started to look for his cousin. He knew that Jumper would have all the news of the Green Forest. It was some time before Peter found Jumper. You see, because of the crust there were no tracis for Peter to follow. It was quite by accident that at last Peter did find his cousin. He didn’t actually find him then. That is to say, while he found the place where Jumper was, he did it without knowing it, and would have gone right past had not Jumper spoken. “Are you looking for some one, Cousin Peter?” Jumper asked. Peter was startled. Even then he didn’t see his cousin at first. This was because Jumper's coat was as white as the snow on which he was squatting. Only the tips of his long ears were not white. Those were black. ““Oh, there you are!” cried Peter. “I was looking for you, Cousin Jumper. It must be wonderful to be able to sit in plain sight yet be unseen,” Peter sighed. Jumper nodded. “It is,” said he. “I wish I could do it all the time.” “Why can’t you?” Peter asked. Brain Twizzlers BY PROF. J. D. FLINT.

Until the snow came I had a bad time this year. I got my white coat at the usual time, and, as you know, there was no snow. Jack Prost was late getting here this year.” “He has made up for it since” re- plied Peter. “That reminds me. I was over here in the Green Forest the night Jack Frost arrived. Buster Bear hadn’t then gone to bed. He was still grumbling that he didn’t want to go to bed. Of course he has gone by this time. Do you happen to know where?” Jumper shook his head. “I haven't the least idea and, what is more, I don't care. Why do you ask?” he replied. Peter grinned. said he. “Curiosity will get you into trouble you can't get out of if you don't watch out,” retorted Jumper dryly. “Just curiosity,” S " =4 ESTABLISNED 1859 FOOD STORES IMPORTANT!
