Jimmy Rabbit was feeling very hap- py. He had just enjoyed a delicious supper of cabbage and turnips in Farmer Green's garden. And now he was hopping about the dooryard of the farmhouse, smiling because he knew that old dog Spot was fast asleep in his little house near-by. “'Spot would be surprised if he knew who was calling here tonight,” Jimmy chuckled. And then, as he turned a corner of the farmhouse, he had a surprise himself. Inside a wire runawkay, a white Rabbit stood and stared at him. “Hello!”" said Jimmy. you come from?" “Are you addressing me?” the white bunny asked somewhat cooly. ‘“‘Hoity-toity!” cried Jimmy Rab- bit. “T certainly am. Did you think I was talking to old dog Sport?” The white bunny shivered. “That terrible creature!" he ex- claimed. “I can't bear the sight of him. I wish I'd never left my home in the village.” “Oh ” sald Jimmy Rabbit. you came from the village!” “I di4,” answered the “I've never known anything farm life. I thought I'd like it. I find I was mistaken.” ‘“What's the matter with farm life?” Jimmy Rabbit asked the white bunny. “It's not elegant enough for me,” the other explained “At home, in the village, my mistress tied a pink ribbon around my neck every morn- ing.

Wool jersey has been the favorite material for these dresses during the past few seasons and seems lokely to be this fall as well, They are seen in the most expen- sive of specialty shops as well as in lower priced stores and the distin- guishing charm is usually a bi t of different looking trimming or a pleas- ing combination of colors.
