The youngsters who daily gather ; with their nurses and school teachers about tho figure of James , ltarrie's immortal boy hero, wept upon seeing the bronze body of : their friend in uncouth tar and feather . garb. When at 9 o'clock last night 1 some of Peter Pun's young ac quaintances said goodbye to him 1 he was in his usual position atoir 'the rugged tree trunk around tho base of which tiny fairies, rabbits and mice peep, shyly in response to the call of Peter's pipes.

' ' Tho statue probably shares, with the Statue of Liberty, tho honor of being tho most noted monu ment in thl world. It was mod eled in 1012 by the late Kir George 'Hampton, president of the 1 loyal Society 'of Sculptors, in spired by I'ari'ie's story, "Peter Pan In Kensington, Gardens." The statue Is situated within a short distance of the round pond and broad walk, which Barrle immor talized. Among the host of mothers, nurses and teachers who take children to the statue to it lust rate (he famous story is fjuly Karren, who has become known as "Lady Pan." because each Saturday she meets a group of children in the shadow of the statue and tells them nature lore stories. Scotland Yard has been called in to aid the local police in running down the tar and feather perpetrators. No serious damage was done to tho statue and after a thorough cleaning no trace will be left of the outrage. Another Star of - . Screen Decides to Get a Divorce LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.
