But she knew from his excite- ment it would be a serious matter if | she did not like what he thought so wonderful. Anxiously she scanned the streets they went through. Was it to be ti noisy, over-dressed neighborhood with the frightening mountains of apart- ment houses, row after row, ea a crowded city, with not one tive touch to show one's own windows from a hundred thousand others? Her premonition proved true, A vast cliff teeming with popula- tlon was Cleopatra Court. Before its set-in entrance stood four or five p machines, gay color and metal trimmings The railway was and gald, liveried d operators, elevator jars of palms, ornate estried seats and hangings. “Fred—not—not here!" “And why not here?” Fred. “Nothing's too good for girl.” How could she find words to tell him this was not good enough? A vision of a sweet, white cottage and a garden shot through her mind, but Connie held her peace. They were whisked to the floor and the superintendent open the door of a three-room small but exceedingly modern, down to the last self-refrigerating icebox and the nook outside the kitchenet window to hold the garbage pail. “Look at that view, Con, old ling!

Along in the spring Uncle Jerry Chuck kept close watch of all that went on down in Farmer Green's veg- etable garden. He always tried to find out what Farmer Green intended to plant. As U'ncle Jerry Chuck used to remark, it was pleasant to know that people were working for you| and that there was a good time a-| coming. Uncle Jerry was a greedy old fel- low.

Farmer Green's garden had never looked better. Jimmy Rabbit visited it daily and often chuckled as he thought of U'ncle Jerry Chuck eating clover week after week. At last, when the summer was half gone, Jimmy stopped to-talk with the old fellow, up in the pasture. “What's that red stain around your mouth-" Uncle Jerry asked him sud- denly. “It's exactly the color of hee “Eh—maybe it is a beet Jimmy Rabbit stammered. “What!" cried Uncle Jerry. “Did Tarmer Green grow beets, after all?" “He has a fine crop this summer,” admitted. My goodness!” Uncle Jerry gasped ‘Of course he didn’t sew lettuce, or green peas, or cabbages?” ‘Yes, he did." Uncle Jerry Chuck flew into a rage “And you never told me!” he squalled “Pardon me,” said Jimmy Rabbit, “I told you everything. Last spring I told yon exactly what kinds of peas and lettuce and cabbage and beets Farmer Green intended to raise, And- you said you didn’t care for such rub- bish."

The peasant fashions which have been popular for grown-ups are being shown now in children's frocks. Peasant sleeves and low-waisted bloused frocks are most noticeable of the innovations and distinguish a great many of the new dresses for little girls. The sleeves are.quite | full and are gathered in on a cuff at | the wrist. Quaint smocked designs in peasant colorings are shown on children's dresses, too, and peasant embroidery is popular. Another trimming is red kid cut into conventional flowers and appliqued. ‘Wool crepe, wool jersey, light serge and flannel are the materials shown in the first fall dresses. Many of the models combine two colors of the same material. Luster Lace. French luster lace is being exploit- ed. It is made of pure silk, some- what heavier in weight than Span- ish lace.
