Peter Rabbit continued his search for people who were preparing for | Winter, and the very day after his| chat with little Mr. Garter Snake he | discovered another old friend making ready for Winter. It was over in the zreen forest not far from the edge at a place where the ground was quite soft. Peter was hopping along, lip- Hisoy | “WHAT DID I UNDERSTAND YOU 'O SAY? D. ¥ ) . in a carcless way. He was stopped by a hiss that made all his back hair stand on end. He! jumped sidewise before he saw who | it was that had hissed. For a mo- ment he was §o provoked that he lost his temper. You know no one really enjoys being scared, and Peter was scared. That hiss had been so sharp and sudden, that although he knew all the members of the Snake family, unless perhaps little Mr. Garter Snake, had retired for the Winter, his first thought was that only a snake and a big one could have hissed like that. And when he saw who it was he was| quite upset to think that he had shown himself afraid. “What's the matter with you, Slowpoke?” he de-| manded. “Don’t you know any better than to hiss in a fellow's face like | that?" “Don’t you know any better than to come hopping along without looking where you're going?”’ demanded Slow- poke the Box Turtle. “If I hadn't| hissed you would have jumped right on me, and I don't know of any one who likes being jumped on. Certainly I don’t Mother Nature gave you a pair of eyves, so why don't you use| them, Peter Rabbit?” | Slowpoke hissed this so sharply and angrily that Peter quite forgot his vn anger in h urprise 1 eeing Slowpoke actually provoked. “Excuse | me, Slowpok: afd he. “I didn't| want to jump on vou any more than vou wanied me to. If I scared you, you scared me, 5o I guess we are | square. You are the last person in the world I expected to see. How comes it | that you have not retired for the Winter? It seems to me that every | one I meet these days Is getting ready | for Winter. It's a relief to find some | one who isn't.” “Who Is it who isn't?” Blowpoke. Why, you aren't doing like that, are you?" demanded Peter. “I certainly am,” declared Slowpoke. “I'm getting ready this very minute 1o close my house up for the Winter.” demanded Delicious at Any Meal fo~ Ougacl WOMAN’S he consider the work as experimental, and | not be discouraged if it doesn’t turn {about among recipes and hesitate to |1f” you succeed, be elated, for you | | house C?i Fish Cakes PAGE.

Diflicult Recipe. One young bride was so discouraged in her attempts to make soup that her mother was amazed, and not a little nused, until she saw the recipe he daushter was following. It was for difficult consomme requiring a balance of flavors, including herbs and spices and several kinds of meat that coul not be varied one fota without spoi ing the right taste.

Now was the time while the English weak and disheartened, thought for the King to go to Rheims to be crowned. She promised that if he would come at once she would con. duct him there safely and without hindrance. But the indolent Charles demurred at going. He hated trouble and his life in the south had been pleasant enough. It was only after many months that Joan was able to persuade him to set out for Rheims. Wonderful preparations were made for the crow of the King. Joan was hailed savior of nce and given highest place at the coronation.

Peter blinked several times. “What did T understand you to say?"” he cried. “I said that I'm getting ready to close my house up for the Winter,” re- plied Slowpoke. “That's what I'm over here for.” Peter looked puzzled. He scratched a long ear with a long hindfoot and then he wobbled his nose in a puzzled way. “What do you mean by closing vour house?” said he. Slowpoke sald nothing. disappeared. His legs His tail disappeared. He had with. drawn them entirely inside his shell and then the halves of the lower shell closed tight, shutting him in entirely. There was nothing whatever to be seen of him except that shell. Peter waited. In a moment Slowpoke's head appeared. Then his, legs and tail ap- peared. “That's what I mean,” said he. “That's the way I shut my house up. It's very handy to carry your h you wherever you go and to be able to close it whenever you feel like it.” “But,” cried Peter, ou would be His head disappeared. One Mother says: In the section of town in which we live the children congregate on to play ball. As they for me to call them, my husband has fixed a call bell.

JDFAR DOROTHY DIX: T have been married two years, and my wife cries if T do not kiss her, and feels deeply hurt if I chew tobacco. She does not object to smoking. If we go out anywhere together, she expects me to stay with her all the time, when I would like to talk to some of the men. She likes to go to shows, and I do not, so tell her to go alone and I will stay at home. Now T love her, but how can I explain to her and make her understand that she is expecting too much of A MERE MAN. Answer: Gee! If vour wife still cries to Kiss you when you chew tobacco, she must have for you the love that passes all understanding. If you inspire t sort of devotlon in any woman’s heart, you ought to be willing to be a regular kissing bug out of sheer gratitude. As for the balance, it doesn’t seem to me that your wife’s demands on you are very excessive, or that she ex- pects of you anything more than ordinary courtesy. When a man takes a woman out to any place of amusement, he is sup- posed to devote himself to entertaining her, and not to leave her stranded high and dry while he goes off and hobnobs with other men. Also, it seems to me that you might at least once a aveek take her to a show, even though it bores you. Doubtless, she makes many sacrifices to make you comfortable and happy. So much for your side of the question, but T always wish I could shake a woman like your wife, who has so little sense about how to handle men. They are the women with more heart than head, who always lose out by making themselves a burden on their husbands, and who are undesired by the men to whom they are married because they hold themselves so cheaply. If your wife had intelligence enough to make you fight for her kisses, in- stead of thrusting them on you, you would be crazy for them. If vou were doubtful about her love, you would be trying to win her, instead of trying to zet rid of her soclety, and you wouldn't find any chance man acquaintance more entertaining than she Aside from that, however, a woman makes a mistake when she tries to keep her husband tied to her apron string all the time, and doesn't realize 1t he has to have misculine soclety just as she has to have feminine so- clety. For in the end, when both men and women want to say the things that are in their souls, they have to say them to their own sex that alone can un- derstand. Also, when a woman'’s husband objects to going to places of amusement with her, she saves herself and him a lot of frictlon by going alone. Certainly 1 who is taken to a show against his will and who is grouchy and sore 1t adds nothing to the pleasure of the occasion. DOROTHY DIX. EAR DOROTHY DIX: Why, after a girl stays single for a number of years and has been advanced to a position of trust in a business office, does she cer meet o man of consequence whom she would be proud to marry? As a 1 only get a man much younger than herself, an uneducated man, r who has not been a financial success and who has an eye on her v. Would it not be better for her to remain on her job, save money enough to be independent in her old age, and forget the marriage problem? ELSIE. Answer: The girl who rises to a position of trust in a business office meets all the men there are, Elsie. She has ten times the acqualntance among men that any soclety girl has, for she {s brought in contact with every type of the genus homo that is extant, whereas the domestic girl sees only a few hand- picked specimens. Clever men and dull men, go-getters and slackers, savers and spenders, the self-made and papa’s sons, college men and those who have been educated in the University of Hard Knocks, all of these sooner or later drift through | the business office, and the business girl sees them all. Perhaps it is because | she sees them at such close range, and gets to know them so well, that she sometimes gets disillusioned and imagines, as you do, that there must be some superman in the world of fashionuble society that she has not met. 5 I This is a mistake. You have sampled the run of the mill, and if you have not found a Prince Charming among them it 1s because Prince Charmings ex ist only in the eye of the beholder. 1 commend your conclusion that it is better not to marry at all than to some ma ift husbund who does not come up to your ideal. Undoubt- 1 perfectly mated man and woman come nearer than any other human s to finding a paradise on earth, but marriage is either heaven or hell, and it is far better not to be married at all than not to be happily married. The snccessful business woman has a most enviable lot in life. She has a vital interest to occupy her mind and thoughts. She has financial independence. She can have her own charming home, where she can gratify all of her house- wifely instincts. She can travel, and, best of all, she can have absolute inde- pendence. Love may be the greatest thing in the world, but if you miss that, there are a lot of consolation prizes, and you are certainly a million times better off alone than with a second-rate husband.
