Dt =gy o like a great many other people, Peter seldom practices what he preaches. He is one of the kind who seem to think that because there is no cloud in the sky there never will be. He knows better.

You've probably heard of this well-known plan_of making cough syrup at home. But have you ever used it?- Thousands of families the world over feel that they could hardly lLeep house without it. It's simple and cheap, but the way it takes hold of a cough will soon earn it a permanent place in your home. Into a pint bottle pour 2% ounces of Pinex; then add plain granu- lated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if desired, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way it tastes good, never spoils, and gives you a full pint of better cough remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times its cost. It is really wonderful how quickly this homemade remedy conquers a cough—usually in 24 hours or less. Jt seems to penetrate through every WOMAN’S PAGE Peter Rabbit Overstays. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

He had remained in the dear Old Briar Patch just as long as he could. He wanted to know what was going on in the Green Forest and over in the 0Old Orchard. He wanted to see for himself how the snow had chgmged things there. He wanted to hear the latest gossip and find out how his friends had fared in the great storm. So at the end of the second day just as jolly, round, red Mr. Sun was go- ing to 'bed behind the Purple Hill, Peter prepared to start for the Green Forest. Of course. timid little Mrs. Peter said all_she could to keep him at home. She pointed out to him how safe and comfortable they were there On Board Steamer. It always amuses me that there are | W: 80 many women who quite cheerfully abuse their health and looks while they are at home, but who expect to make it all up, and more, during the brief period of enforced idleness on a voyage. They seem to feel that they “are going to “suffer a sea change” which will do them everlast- ing good. And it amazes me that they come so close to realizing their ambition in a voyage of from seven to ten days. ‘Those who are thin feel that the sea air will so stimulate their ap- petites that they will be able to eat enormously and grow fatter; those who never walk at home methodical- ly tramp the deck for hours to get exercise; those who stay out late at nights and never get any fresh air sleep all d: in deck chairs and fre- tire promptly after dinner, refusing all invitations to “play just one rub- ber of bridge”; those who are fat, of course, expect to reduce.

Mrs. Barbara Cheeks, 1208 D street northeast, early last night visited friends at 115 4fh street northeast. Leaving, before she was away from the front of the house a tall white man snatched her handbag and dis- appeared. The handbag contained $3 and a mopey order for $5.90 made ?ln‘y&ble to M. J. Walford, Brownville, Mrs. Ray J. Cunningham, 2205 Champlain ‘street, told the police of a visit pald her apartment between 6 and 12 o'clock Saturday night by a burglar who stole wearing apparel valued at $190. Entrance was gained through a rear window. Abraham Fox, 602 41; street south- west, told the police that burglars en- tered his place of business and stole a quantity of wearing apparel. Anna Dahm, 1227 15th street, re- ported the theft of $30 and a gold wateh. Theft of a watch, two rings and a pair of gloves, valued at $142, was Teported by Charles Painter, 1320 Vermont avenue. W. C. Smallwood, 724 18th street, told of the taking of $30 from the cash register in his place of busi- ness Saturday night or yesterday morning. A duplicate key was used by a burglar to gain access to the home of C. B. Fdelin, 613 C street south- east, yesterday. He reported the tak- ing of $132 from a bureau drawer. —_— ANNUAL VESPERS HELD.

You know very well, Peter Rabbit, these are times for Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote and Hooty the wOl and Terror the Goshawk and Yowler the Bobcat, and that they are never s0 danger- ous as during hard time: ‘Pooh!” replied Peter. “Pooh! They never have caught me yet. If I am not smart enough to keep out of their clutches I deserve to be caught. Just stop your worrying. I'll be all right. I'll be back by the time Mr. Sun gets out of bed in the morning.’ “Is that a promise?”’ asked little Mrs. Peter, knowing that Peter would &o_in sptte of all she could say. “Yes, my dear, that is a promise, replied Peter he started off, lip- perty-ipperty-iip, across the snow- covered Green Meadows toward the Green Forest. Little Mrs. Peter sighed. “I hope he'll keep it,” sald she to herself as she watched him out of sight. To give Peter credit, he fully in tended to keep that promise. His tentions were of the very be: The always are. No one in all the Great World had better intentions than Peter Rabbit. The trouble with Peter is that he forgets them. A great many people are just like him. He had so many piaces 10 the night was gone before he real- ized it and broad daylight found him still over in the Green Forest. Then Peter remembered his_ promd He scratched a long ear with a long hind foot. “Too bad, id he. “Too bad. I ought to be home right now. But I'm not home, and It is too late to go now. It would not be safe to try to cross the Green Meadows in broad daylight. I'll have to spend the day here. If Mrs. Peter has any sense at all she’ll know I'm able to take care of myself.

In the ordinary buttonhole one end is rounded and the other finished at right angle to the slit by several stitches or by a bar. For large but- tonholes, or those on which the wear is especially heavy, the bar may be used at both ends. When you have buttonholed one edge of the slit take three stitches at the end at right angles to the slit, instead of five stitches to make a rounded end. Com- |Better than a mustard p. and does plete the buttonholing of the other|not blister.

Draw the thread tight in order to bring the edges of the slit-together. Put in three stitches in the same place. If no bar is d sired pass the needle to the wrong side and fasten the thread. To make bar, pass the three threads across the width of the buttonhole and work them over and over in the blanket stitch, but do not put in so many stitches that the loop will ridge up from the buttonhole, and near the middle of the bar take one stitch through the cloth to hold it down. Now cover the three stitches left at the other end of the buttonhole with a similar bar, and your buttonhdle is very securely finished. In making buttonholes be careful to choose thread as heavy as the ma- terial will bear, but too coarse thread will merely tear the edge away from the cloth. Thread the needle with as nearly the right lemgth as you can guess, erring on the long side, because it 18 a bother to have to rethread any- where along the buttonhole, but re- member that a very long thread will twist and tangle annoyingly. If you must rethread take out‘the last few stitches, thread the needle with the short end, pass it through the Tast e:’:rl and fasten it on the wrong side. ith the new thread fasten by sev: eral stitches on the wrong side with- out a knot, bring it up through the last purl at the edge of the button- hole and continue.
