Neither Peter Rabbit nor his cousin, Jumper the Hare, ran very far from Suster Bear when he surprised them over in the Green Forest. They knew he was too fat to catch them.

But Buster, having failed to catch either Peter or Jumper, paid them no AT A SAFE DISTANCE HE FOL- __LOWED BUSTER. more attention. He rumbled and grumbled to himself and shuffled between the trees. Such foot- prints he left behind him! By goodness, such footprints! You know, Buster Bear puts his whole foot on the ground, just as a human being does. Black Pussy or Bowser the Hound or Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote or Yowler the Bobcat would leave a print which would show only a little more than the toes, for they walk on their toes. But Buster plants his whole foot flat, showing the mark of the heel, and this makes his foot. print very big. There i{s no trouble following Buster in the snow. Peter Rabbit at once became all curiousity. He wondered when Bus- ter Bear would go to bed for the Winter. At a safe distance he fol- Jowed Buster. He was too wise to let Buster know that he was being followed. He kept far enough back to be out of sight. He didn’'t need to be in sight of Buster because those big tracks would lead him right straight to wherever Buster might choose to go. He thought if he followed long enough he might find out where Bus. OMAN’S PAGE. BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. BEDTIME STORIE ter Bear would spend the Winter. Buster was up later than usual.

To make it full of personal interest, buy a calendar with good sized numerals. Cut each day apart from the other numbers, being careful to’ cut exactly on the lines printed on the monthly pages. Buy pads of paper and mount each date on a separate sheet, tearing off the sheets as this {s done. The pads may all be white or of any chosen color, or each month can be mounted on a differ- ently colored pad. On the space left below the numeral write some quota tion that is a favorjte of yours, or which you know is a favorite of the person for whom the calendar is made. Intersperse these copied quotations +with references to events that have been enjoyed together. On such dates have just the original remark. The more original sentences that you can write, either on special anniversaries enjoyed together or on any dates, the more enjoyable will the calendar prove. Such an individual calendar is a work of love, and it should be com- |1 menced immediately, so that your mind can be on the alert to find just the quotations you want to include. A book of quotations from different authors will be found very helpful. These books are available at every library, even in school libraries. To Make Calendar. ‘When each date has its line written below, make eyelets with an eyelet cutter and tie the sheets together and also to a plece of extra heavy card- board such as the usual daily calen- dars are mounted on. This cardboard mount can be of a dark tone with bands of color painted all about the edges as a border, or the cardboard can be covered with some handsome Japanese paper before the pad sheets are fastened to it. Make eyelets in the top of the cardboard and run a heavy silk cord in them to hang the calendar up by. # Monthly Reminder. A daily reminder that is much less work is made by mounting each month’s sheet of dates on cardboard or fancy paper and writing one verse or quotation or personal line as a heading or a footnote on each month’s page. Fasten the pages together with silk cord run through eyelets. Magazines and Stories. A magazine is a *‘constant-reminder” gift, bringing you to remembrance either every week or every month, ac- cording to the magazine. As the pages are sure to prove interesting, the mag- azine gift is a favorite. Another gift that is unique and on this order costs very little, but proves fascinating. From some old magazines or newspa- pers pick out a serial story. Mount the columns on cardboard or on at- tractive paper of any size you prefer and send one installment each week. ‘This can be kept up during the month or during a year by starting a new serial story as soon as the last was done. The installments should be sent v;nh the same regularity as a mage- zine. Flowers Show Thought. Flowers are exquisite recurrent re- minders of your thoughtfulness, It is possible to send an order, as is some- times done, to some local florist for a bouquet tq be sent the friend every week or month. Florists make s terms that are not high for such gift bouquets. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS see, the Winter was later than usual in coming. Buster doesn’t like to fio to bed until he is obliged to. 3 isn't obliged to go to bed until he can no longer get food to eat. You know Buster ‘eats as he goes along. for he has no way of storing up food except- ing under his skin. As long as there is no snow Buster usually can find some food. But when the snow comes it is time for him to retire, and he knows ft. Peter followed Buster's tracks in ‘He's wandering around y hought Peter. “He acts as if he didn’t know where to go. 1 must see to it that he doesn’t know I am following him.” Just then there was a yawn from behind a young hemlock tree that Peter was just going to run around. It sounded sleepy, did that yawn. But sleepy sounding or not, it made Peter's hair stand right up on end. That yawn had come from Buster Bear, and in.two or three hops more Peter would have been right around there where Buster was. So Peter sat tight and held his breath. He could hear Buster rumbling and grumbling to himself down in his throat. It was quite clear that Buster was sleepy, but it was equally clear that he didn’t want to go to bed. I wouldn't be surprised if you know just how that is. Buster sat there and grumbled. He didn’t need another mouthful of food. No, sir, he didn’t need another mouth- ful. Stored away under tbat black coat of his was fat enough to take him through the Winter. But Buster somehow couldn’t make up his mind to stop eating. He couldn’t for & fact. “I want just a bite more,” he grumbled. “I won't be able to get anything, not even a bit, for weeks after I go to bed, and I certainly do like food. Yes sir, I certainly do like food. If I could find a nice tender rabbit now I could go to bed very comfortably.” Once more all the hair on Peter Rabbit stood on end. (Copyright. 1926.)

That was one idea of mine that seemed to please everybody, and I met Joan and her grandmother and my mother downtown at 6 o'clock. From the way they ordered dinner I believe they had fasted all day so T could give them a really good time. I had bought tickets to a good musi- cal show, but I made a mistake in picking out a theater more than a block and a half from the restaurant, because they had to have a taxi, and on the way Joan decided we could not enjoy the show without a box of candy. She wanted supper after the show, too, but her grandmother was feeling her age by that time, so we all came home—in a taxi. I am glad they are getting ready for bed now. They can't spend any more money until morning. Joan had anather of her brilliant ideas at dinner. She sald, “You can get your own breakfasts while I'm gone, and save a lot of money, can't you, dear?” and then she ordered a 66-cent meat course. She always calls me dear when she thinks up something like that. ‘And now THE EVENING ST. WASHINGTON, -EVERYDAY Answered by DR.

Better luck on your next cast! Englewood, .13 J.“ I should like to ask a question the clergy and professing Christians generally and give them something to think about, if they ever do think. Why did Jesus Christ not compel the adoption of His teachings and en- force them on humanity for its good, as He certainly had the power to do, if we may judge by the miracles He performed, far beyond the power any government has to enforce its laws? Answer—I can assure my some- what militant correspondent that the clergy and their congregations have lucid intervals. They may not dwell on the remotest heights of serene and philosophic contemplation which he evidently occuples. But though faint they are still pursuing. Strangely enough, the question here propounded does not display a pla. tonic breadth of mind. On the con- trary, to speak plainly, it is rather puerile. So long as man is a being of free will, even to suppose he can be compelled to accept a religion of love and service argues ah in- tellectual weakness which I sincerely trust is not constitutional. Prob- ably, like Homer, my correspondent nods occasionally. Let him try to compel the love and loyalty of his nearest and dearest ones. 1 guarantee that the attempt will convince him of the folly of his venture and also of the lom of our Lord's methods. There is no stronger proof of His confldence in the present values and ultimate vie tory of His message than His abso- lute rejection of the means the ques- tioner advocate: French Lick, Ind. 1 am very skeptical about dogmatic statements and have often found in what has been stated as a dogma. that the facts or evidence supporting its premises were faulty, and consequent- \ly the conclusion was wrong. they won’t have any other kind” 'ASHINGTON housewives say that once they have served Rice’s Bread, their families won’t have any other kind.

Does it have any real purpose or is it merely a bald state- ment, or condition, or situation hoped for, and in support of which there is no_evidence? Answer—Thoroughgoing skepticism about dogmatic statements would ar- rest all processes of thought, since not one of them exists in any realm which is not founded upon dogma. Darwin had to presuppose a universe obedient to law, a planet in harmony with that law and with pequisite con- ditions for animate life before he could launch his theory of its inherent pro- gressive development, known as evo- lution, ‘What hesdid we all do. None can imagine a coemos without space and time. They are dogmas imposed upon us by what is called the nature of things, which really is a covering term for our inability to think it out. Hence dogmas are but expedients common to all departments of intel- lectual life and felt in all to be neces- sary for representing what are held as truths, for exhibiting their order and consequences, for expressing their relations to other truths. ‘The function of dogma in religion is precisely the same as in science, art or ?olmu. If it can be shown that religious dogmas are in error they should be corrected. But so long as they contain the gist of things surely believed by the religious their ?|place in the spiritual interpretation of life is as legitimate as that of mathematical axioms in the exact science: (Copyright, 1926.) e Fudge Pudding. : Line a bread pan or bowl with a thin slice of sponge cake.

Patrols guard the river bank, with earth- works for their protection in front of the ferries and opposite Trenton, while the commissary and quarter- master departments are at Newtown, 8 miles from the river. America’s army of freedom is thus for the first time in many days in a strong defen- ‘| sive pesition, and our general divides the credit for his safety between the British commanders because of the slowness of their advance and the Delaware River, which has halted their pursuit. Today's doings on the Jersey side of the river furnished much amuse- ment for our soldiers. We have en- Joyed the spectacle of seven or eight of the King's crack battallons march- ing up and down the river banks un- der the guldance of their very able Gen. Cornwallis. The purpose of the parade was to find boats and pick an embarking place for the’ continuation of their pursuit of our people. But, finding not a single boat, they had no use for an embarking place, and his lordship marched his weary battalions back to Trenton with nothing accom- plished, and that was the end of a perfect day on our side of the river. Gen. Lee continues to supply Gen. ‘Washington with many excuses for his faflure to men. Many w commands delivered to Lee by staff officers from headquarters have pro- duced from Lee nothing but excuses and a hint that Lee no longer con- siders himself subject to the Com- mande! Chief’s orders, but is plan. ning to “hang on the enemy's rear” rather than join the main force here. As to Lee’s excuses—his troops are in wretched condition with respect to shoes, stockings and blankets; he had to watch the To: had he started sooner he would have only led an in- ferior number of unwilling men; he didn't know where he could join ‘Washington; he had heard that Wash- ington had been considerably rein- forced and didn’t need him; he could be'more useful at Chatham, “since it is a happy distance from Newark, Elizabeth Town, Woodbridge and Boundbrook,” and so on.
