Beware of those who like to tease; Don't let them know you're ill at ease. —Peter Rabbit. “Venus” in Ascendency. Peter felt foolish and looked it. “Ex- cuse me,” said he. “Please excuse me. I thought you were Dipper. Where has he gone?” Now Peter, no matter how much in- Peter Rabbit sat on thé bank of the | terested he may be, doesn't forget to Smiling Pool, staring in the most im- polite manner at the two birds on the ‘water just below him. A moment be- fore, when he had turned his head, there had been but one there. When he had looked back there were two. To make it more perplexing, they looked just alike. They looked as if they might be twins. They were not, however, be- cause one of them—and that one he knew was Dipper the Grebe—had just /) THEY LOOKED AS IF THEY MIGHT BE TWINS. said: “Meet Mrs. Grebe, Peter Rabbit.” The trouble was Peter Rabbit didn’t know which one had spoken. “I am pleased to meet you, Mrs. Greb,” said Peter, trying to be polite, all the time wondering which was Mrs. Grebe. Just as Peter spoke, Rattles the King- | watch out for danger. Sitting out there | on the open bank of the Smiling Pool, | he knew that he could easily be seen |from a considerable distance by some of his enemies. Therefore, he must be extra watchful. He turned his head for |a hasty look behind him, to make sure | that Reddy Fox was nowhere in sight. | Then he turned back to speak to Mrs. | Grebe once more. “Did you come up from the Sunny | South with Dipper?” he inquired very politely. “I couldn’t have come without him,” was the reply. “Why not?” inquired Peter. “For the very good reason that I am Dipper,” was the prompt response. “But you just said that you were Mrs. Grebe,” protested Peter. “Oh, no, I didn’t,” replied Dipper. “It was Mrs. Grebe herself who said that.” Once more Peter turned his head for a hasty look around and then when he once more looked down in the water it was to find that neither Grebe was there. Both had disappeared complete- ly. Peter stared this way and stared that way. He couldn’t see a sign.of either one. He began to get provoked. He stamped his feet on the bank im- patiently. “They are just having fun with me,” said he. At that very instant a head popped out of the water in front of him.” “Who is having fun with you?” de- manded a voice, and Peter was surc that it was the voice of Dipper the Grebe. “I suppose,” said Peter, “that you think you are smart. But I can tell you one thing, Dipper, and that is"—— “Please do not call me Dipper,” in- terrupted the Grebe. “I am not Dipper; I am Mrs. Grebe. What were you going to_say?"” By this time Peter had forgotten what he was going to say. It was most an- noying not to be able to tell Mr. and ARE You CRYING BECAUSE T'M N THE INUT House?
