He darted through the gar- den door, to find a flight of hack stairs in front of him, and in another moment he was on the first floor. He walked rapidly along the landing. trying to find his bearings, and, turn- ing a corner, he found himself at the top of the main staircase—the spot where he had fought Peterson two nights previously.

BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT. l — Washing White Cotton Curtains. Before the window can be washed the { curtains must come down. | 1 They can be done gradually, a room at a ‘time, so that the whole house shall not look bare and dreary for many days; but it is oftén an economy of time and energy to devote a day or two to getting them all done at once. Modern curtain stuffs are chosen to admit light and air, and are, therefore, light in weight, short. and easily wash- ed, ranging from dimities and lawns, scrim, voile, marquisette and swiss to organdy, Brussels net and filet. They hould be washed as other cotton things are—steeped for several hours in a soupy solution of warm water, washed out ‘of this without more soap, and washed either by hand or in the ma- chine in very hot, soapy water. Then they must ba well rinsed, blued, and, if starch is to be used, starched before being hung out in the sun to dry. Most cotton curtains can be ironed if care is taken to keep the edges straight and of the same length for all the cur- tains, without stretching, but net hangs much better if dried on_curtain frames, and the others can be dried on frames, t00. In using frames stretch the curtains while still very damp and make each curtain fit exactly over the first. Be careful not to stretth the first curtain too taut, as the others will not be so wet and, therefore, can less easily be stretched. (Copyright, 1921.)

Who lets his temper get away Is bLound to find it doesn’t pay. —Mr. Bear. If ever there were two foolish-feel- ing little Bears the twins of Buster Bear were those two. And they look- ed just as foolish as they felt. While they had been fighting Peter Rabbit had made the most of his chance and the best use of his legs and had dis- appeared. Where he had gone neither Boxer nor Woof-Woof had the least idea. They looked this way. ed that way. They peered under the pile of brush. They even tore it all apart. There was no sign of Peter. As a matter of fact. Peter was far away, headed straight for the dear Old Briar Patch. And Peter was chuckling. The instant those cubs began to fight all fear had left Peter. He knew then that he had nothing more to fear from them. People who lose their tempers lose their wits with them,” chuckled Peter. “I couldn’t have done that better if I had planned it. My, how those cubs have grown! I think I'll keep away from that part of the Green Forrest. Yes, sir, Ill keep away from there.” 'And in that de- on Peter showed that he wasn't ‘et too old to learn a lesson and gain wisdom therefrom. ] At last the twins gave up looking for Peter, —1—1 hope I didn't hurt you,” said Boxer meekly, as he <aw Woof-Woof rub her nose again.

That fellow we didn't catch probably is laughing at us and Will tell everybody he meets what silly little Bears we are. 1 guess it doesn’t pay to fight” “That depends.’” said a deep, grum- bly, rumbly voice. The twins, turned to find Mother Bear looking at them. “It never pays to fight excepting for vour rights, but the one who will ot fight for his rights never will get far in the Great World. Neither will the one who 1s always ready to fight over nothing. Now, what have you been fighting about?” Feeling more and more foolish every minute the twins told Mother Bear all about Peter Rabbit and how they had tried to catch him and how they had lost their tempers when they bumped into each other. Mother Bear's eyes twinkled, but she took care that the twins should not ‘see that twinkle. “You ought to be spanked, both of you,” said she sternly, “and the next time I Know of you fighting you will be spanked. 1 won't spank you this time because I hope you have learned a lesson. When two people fight over a thing some one else is likely to get it. Peo- ple who lose their tempers usually Jose more, just as you lost your chance to catch Peter Rabbit. Now, the Green Forest will laugh’ at you and Peter Rabbit will boast that he was smarter than two Bears.” “We'll get even with him yet,” mut- red Boxer. toINo, you womt” declared Mother Bear. “Peter Rabbit will never give ou a chance.” Y%And this is exactly what Peter Rab- bit had resolved himself.
