Peter Continues His Search. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. ': Inumvet out to do a thing it Never will you be content you do. . —Peter Rabbit. When Peter Rabbit left Bobby Coon’s house in the Green Forest he had no particular place in mind to &o. So for a while he hopped along rather aimlessly, all the time think- ing about the surprising discovery that Jimmy Skunk and Bobby Coon kept their children with them all ‘winter. Thinking of Bobby Coon re- minded Peter that Buster Bear is Bobby's big cousin. “He's one of the seven sleepers, too,” thought Peter. “I wonder if he is sleeping where he did last win- ter. I—I would like to have a peek at him asleep. It would be safe enough, for if he sleeps like the rest of the seven sleepers it would take more than little me to wake him up. Of course, he will be all alone, for there isn't any Mrs. Bear. Buster has been living alone here in the Green Forest ever since he came. If there was a Mrs. Bear and some young Bears I wonder if they would all sieep with Buster through the winter. I must ask Buster some time when I find him awake and good- matured.” Peter continued on deeper into the Green Forest until he came to a great windfall. A windfall, as prob- ably you know, is a tangle of fallen trees, uprooted by a great wind. ‘They had fallen one on another so that they made a great mass. Under them Buster Bear had made his den one winter. The winter before it had been in a cave under an overhanging ledge of rock. Both places had been WOMAN’S PAGE. ‘warm, comfortable home: ‘When Peter reache: When to Powder. A cynic might say when he saw the expression “when to powder” that a woman need never be told anything of the sort, as she usually uses pow- der on every possible occasion. Which isn't quite fair. And yet trade statistics show that there is much more face powder being used than ever before. But this is probably the result of the high wages following the war, which made many S d _little luxuries I e possibie. | Doubtless It is due also to the fact that girls are starting to use face powder years earlier than they used to. I have had letters from girls eleven and twelve asking how much powder to use and what shade, and it seems to me, from a casual observation in trolleys and crowds on the street, that every girl in high school and most of those in the upper grammar school grades are using powder—and usually too much of it Really, you know, one medium-sized box of face powder should last almost & year. Its only use is to take off the shine that will come on the skin un- der certain conditions, and that we no longer consider either pretty or per- missible. But a little wder the morning wash, and a little more around dinner time, is all that any ‘woman needs—unless she happens to be dancing or exercising so that her skin is particularly active. In that case she will need to use powder more than twice a day.

The fact is, now that he was there, Peter felt considerable hesitation. Buster Bear is s0 very big and has such great claws and teeth that all the other lttle people have a great deal of re- spect for him, no matter what they may say. It was one thing to say he would like to peep at Buster asleep, but now that he where he suspected Buster might be it was quite another thing to go ahead and do it. You know Peter is naturally timid. “Of course,” said Peter to himself, “as 1 said before, there is no danger. If he is in_there asleep I couldn’t wake him if T tried.” “But suppose he shouldn't be He hasn’t asleep,” suggested Doubt. been out this winter,” replied Curi- “Of course, he’s asleep. Y.

The only way you can find out is to go in and see for yourself.” How long Peter would have con- tinued to hesitate no one Kknows The matter was settled for him. Happening to look over his shoulder he saw Terror the Goshawk, and saw that Terror saw him. Peter didn't wait. There might be danger under that windfall. He didn't know. But there was no doubt about the danger outside. Terror the Goshawk was more to be feared than Buster Bear could possibly be. Peter dived head- first under that windfall.

She real- ly won't need it; she need never use it if she doesn’t want to.

They are especially good when one-fourth corn meal is used with the flour. Breaded Sausages. THE EVENING STAR Wearing Jewels. BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. The rule that our grandmothers taught our mothers about the wearing of jewelry was that no lady ever wore diamonds in the morning. We wouldn't put it just exactly that way now, per- haps, but there still is the feeling—is there not?—that it isn't quite the thing to wear diamonds in the early hours of the day. In fact, the ten- dency now seems to be to put off the time for diamond wearing still later, LIKE THE ESCLAVAGE OR “SLAV- ERY” OF LOUIS XV’S DAY 1S THIS NECKLACE OF IMITATION JADE AND SILVER. and not to wear this type of jewelry until the hour for dinner. This leaves one free to follow one's whims in the matter of ornamentation at_the tea hour. There is always something of an ob- ligation about possessing valuable diamonds, you know. If they have come as 4 present from your husband to whom they represent the profits on a clever deal in real estate or stocks, royalties on a book, the sale of a pic- ture, or something of that sort, it is not unnatural that he wants to see you wear them. If they are family jewels bestowed upon you by some doting grandmother or aunt it is very awkward if you never let their brilliance’ show when these doting relatives are by. Givers of diamonds seem to exact as the re- ward for giving them that they should be perpetually worn. And every wom- an knows that there are times when a string of amber, a necklace of imita- tion pearls or cut crystal beads would give a better effect than a chaplet of diamonds, and cameo would be more effective than a diamond brooch.

HOME ECONOMICS. BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT. Cleaning the School Suit. Most school boys and girls are hard on their clothes. What with the pencil smudge and chalk dust of the school room, the rough and tumble of school j games and the careless eagerness to eat that belongs to all normal children, their clothes are bound to suffer. Many a mother reckons it her regular Saturday morning task to sponge and press the school suit. The spots and the cloth are 180 simi'ar with the serge gown and the tweed coat and trousers that the same vm:;::mls appl both e essential preparation is: A good light falling directly on the garment, as trei hied on the board, a stiff, clean brush, a bowl of clean water, a bunch v cicaning cloths, ivory or castile soap and a bottle of cleaning solution. The procedure is first, a thorough emptying of pockets, which may con- tain anything in hardware or confec- tion or fruit, in any state; then a good Stiff brushing, and thorough examination for spots. Spots should be marked as discovered, either with pins or French chalk, which brushes off easily. 't is safe to attack spots of unknown origin first with cold water and a non- alkali soap. which will not hurt the cloth, and will, if thoroughly applied, remove most grease spots.

Chemical students tell us that the tarnish on silver consists of silver Sulphide—a compound caused by the combination of silver and sulphur. Consequently one of the best ways to keep Silver from tarnishing is to keep it out of the way of anything con- taining sulphur. However, there are always some Sorts of sulphur compounds present in the air where gas is burned, and where coal gas is present even in small amounts silver tarnishes very It_is always better not to keep silver in the room where cook- i v _gas is don . u may have distovered tha ber has a very strong action on silv 1f vou have ever left a rubbef cause sulphur compounds are abung dant in rubber. | Of course, the reason spoons u! ting quickly discolor is becaus contain sulphur.
