Why he had gone Peter didn't have the least idea. It was enough for him that Yowler was no longer reaching for him with thos ‘Brewad i great hooked, sharp claws of hi Peter drew a long breath of relicf. Then he eased his position a little. You know he had buen flattening him- #elf against the back of that tiny cave to keep out of reach of Yowler's claws and he was stiff and uncom- fortable. It was a great relief to be able to move and it comfortably. He had been scratched in several places and these scratches smarted. But Peter was too thankful to be alive to think much about those scratches. “Yowler is a tricky fellow,” thought Peter, “and he probably is planning some other way to catch me. If he thinks I am going to be fooled into thinking that just because he has left it Is safe for me to go he is greatly mistaken. Prebably the old rascal is hiding somewhere outside ready to pounce on me the instant [ come out. If that is what he is doing he'll hide one good long time, I can tell him that. It is queer, though, why he left in such a hurry.” All this tlme Peter had quite for- gotten Buster Bear and that he, Peter. was in Buster's house.

He certainly would be trapped If Buster should come in and lie down on his bed. “Perhaps he won't” thought Peter hopefully. “Perhaps he'll go away again.” But Buster didn't go away. He sat there in front of the entrance for a long time. so long that Peter won- dered if he had gone to sleep out there. He hadn't. By and by he yvawned two or three times, then slowly turned and shuffled into his bedroom. At once he smelled Yowler and a deep, angry grow! rumbled "way down in his throat. He knew that Yowler had been in his bedroom and it made him very angry. He sniffed around inside that cave and presently he caught the scent of Peter Rabbit. “Huh!" grunted Buster Bear, “Huh! That pesky Cat must have chased a Rabbit in here and caught him. 1 don’t believe he would have dared come in here otherwise. It ix a good thing for him that I didn’t catch him here. He must have left just before 1 got here. A good thing for him it is that he did." Buster grumbled to himself ‘way down deep In his throat for a few minutes, fussed with his bed of twigs and dry leaves, trying to get it to suit him, and finally, with a long sigh, y down. It took him some time to get comfortable. At least it appeared that way to Peter, for he shifted hls position” several times. And all the time he seemed to be talking to him- self In a sort of low grumbly, rumbly growl deep in his throat.

Without telling John, she had in- vited her richest and most influential friends to tea. John thought that he didn’t like them.

Cups and plates and silver shin- ing, thin sliced lemons studded with cloves, a brown wicker basket stacked with crunchy cookies, Thorne Blais- dell's favorite cigarettes and Nan Blaisdell's pet bonbons were ready. The kettle simmered on the hob. Rags, Merriam's devoted Cairn ter- rier, sat on his hind legs to beg sweets. “No, sir!” she whispered. ‘“Not a sérap for doggies! Why, Ragsy, it makes me shiver to think what I've spent on_that tray!” Rags slumped in a despondent heap at his feet. She rumpled his ears to comfort him. She had tucked her bronze curls into a demure topknot and adorned them with her grandma’s tortoise- shell comb.

With the newer houses that have come into vogue within the past fifteen years, the side door seems to have been shuffled into the disc: Your grandfather's new house buiit thirty or forty years ago doubtless had a side door, and often this side door opened onto a passageway where there were hooks and pegs for coats and hats, an umbrella stand and a shelf for packages und what not. 1t was often a dark passuge and the side door was not attractive, and the rea- son why your mother decided that if ever sheé built a house of her own she would eliminate this side door was because gradually grandfather and the bovs and mother. when she had been shopping, and the dog and the postman got to using the side door. Neighbors, when they “ran in” in the morning or after dinner, used the side door because it was less formal. The front door became a fix- ture of ceremony, and the main cur- rents of daily living ran from the side door to the sitting room, and up the stairs, and left the front hall and the front ‘drawing room carpet unworn and forbidding. Now, of course, the front door is the door of usual acce i bovs feeling that it cal place at which to leav, ildren traipse up the| front door with muddy feet and drop | their toys in the front hal situa- tion that becomes more trying if the front hall is also the end of the gen- eral living room, as it is quite apt to be in suburban houses nowadays.

A large share of all cases of chronic heart diseuse of the valvular type (distortion of the heart valves from the contraction of scar tissue left by insidious inflammation of the heart lining) are attributable to nothing clse than the infection from an attack or several attacks of tonsillitis or acute sore throat.
