He no longer has to be conjured in ex- isteaces in the teeming little brains. Cast in,,taronze, and piping from the sammit of a bronze mound to a group of fairiea below, and with squirrels and "bunniee" peeping from their holes to listen to his music, he -stands there, the lucky, lacky boy who never will grow tip. to enchant his irinumerable little friends. Sir George Frampton fashioned him and Mr. Barrie him- self paid for him, making a loving gift of him to the children who have tio sweetly taken his immortal fancy into their lives and made it a part of their happinesa. laieekteledalaelakleseelaelanfalaaalliela FISW:04:fflnts .(auelaasaekaitastaaase STYLE TIPS HERE AND THERE.. That the deepbelted skirt has practically had its day is proved by a, brief study of the new suits. In nearly every instance the breadths aro hung from a earrew belt 9.tteel about the normal waist -lie, and whatever fulluess there is is gath- ered over the hips, leaving the front and baelea eperfeetly plain. In spite of raating and prognostica- tions, wide skirts, which were so shortly to appear on the fashion- able horizoa, are 'still conspicuous by their absenee. SOMO f the chic little taffeta frocks are draped with fichue made of old-fashioneal swiss, senao dotted and some plain, but all finiebed with narrow frill of awiaa or fine laee. Sleevea are beiag trimmed with frills falling over the hand and sometimes running up the under seam of the sleeve.

And the children of England, an - sophisticated, respe•etful, nursery kept, with their infancy treasured EZ something unspeakably precioue, are the very ones to nourish such a, happy dream as that of Peter Pau, Not but what there are thousande of little ones in this tountry .who eatild do the same, but, alas, taking hem as a whole, they know tZa, much too soon. They are "wise" not with the soft wisdom of &mi- tered childhood, but with the keen and suspicious underatanding of children who are reared in an at- mosphere of more or less aerid mirth. They are too lucid, too lit- eral, too knowing. They lose too soon the fluid condition, of mind and begin to "set," in the hard encase- xneet of our realistic enviroamenta. Still, even here, there is an army of ardent followers of merry Peter Pan, and they will envy the little English children to whom Mr. MI -T- rio made m gift of the veritable form and semblance of Wendy's vanished friend.

In Wash- ington City alone 7,000,000 flies were killed last year by the "swat" -the trap, drowning, sulphur fumes, and even by electrocution. But when it is remembered that seven generations, of flies ma,y be predsteed in a single ,sunutter; een get some idea of the enetnioila task before us. One female fly will lay 120 eggs on an average, and if all these eggs should hatch, and, in turn, reproduce their kind in like manner, there would be by autumn, from a single female fly, a, progeny of nearly 6,000,000,000,000. These figures stagger the imagination and show that to "swat" the fly by the millions means very lietle so long as those that survive have un- checked opportunity for breeding. Better than swatting the fly is the prevention of its breeding by clean- ing up the places where it thrives. One filthy place in a neighborhood will do more in inaltiplying the flY pest than a hundred clean and thrifty fly expert killers can extin- guish, work as diligently as they may. Every -town and city should pass strict ordinances, punishing those who carelessly permit filth to remain exposed or otherwise afford breeding placee for flies. Denver, Colo, May 29, '12, CHAS. M.
