It was not long after Farmer Brown’s Boy and Flip the Terrier left for their Rabbit began spending much of time away from the dear old Briar- patch, and thereby caused little Mrs. Peter a great deal of worry. It all came about through idleness on Peter's part and the resulting discontent. Discontent gray old Rabbit who was little Mrs. Peter’s father, and who was cross and grouchy and never liked Peter, was still | gay living there ving 3 “I believe I will run over there and find out,” said Peter to himself. He didn't tell Mrs. Peter he was go- ing. No, indeed. He knew that she didn’t like to have him go to the Old Pasture. Although she had once lived there she was afraid of it now. You see, Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy lived and as she had often neighborhood of a Fox for any Rabbit. So he TH g§5§§ g S.gi i £ H i & By Thornton W. Burgess. Old Pasture and any other Rabbit had Jjust as much right there as he had. “Of course,” said Peter to himself, “T don't care who is up here in the Old Pasture, but I would like to know if -n:e one has driven Old Jed Thumper ot So he was soon on his way again, ex- ploring and looking for signs of Old Jed Thumper and of a possible stranger. He didn't go far before he found Old Jed Thumper himself. He was in an- other bramblé-tangle that Peter re- membered as being small and of little * |account, but which now was bigger and better than the one he had first visited. And Old Jed Thumper was as : | grouchy and short -tempered as ever. He thumped angrily when Peter poked his head in the opening of one of the m% :n:g that tangle and Peter ere. “Excuse said Peter, hastily “I didn't know you “Well, you know it now.” replied Old Jed Thumper, crossly. “What are doing up here in the Old Pasture any- - | were here.” “Just looking around,” replied Peter, meekly. “It is & long time since I was last here and I wondered if you were still living here.

Remember the old proverb: For want of a nail the shoe was lost: For want of a shoe the horse was lost: For want of a horse the rider was lost: Frequently, battles, even destinies of nations, de- pend on little things. ‘We see the big results of small neglects all around us: Even in our own homes.

Many of them have seen how Manhattan’s soft net bags keep out the wear that wears out clothes. How each piece is washed in suds of pure palm oil soap: in three short days. Manbhattan services are worked out to fit every need—every purse. Hundreds of families send the flat work if nothing more. Some women use a service like Homestic and touch up the wearing ap- parel at home: Others use our complete ready-to-wear services. But the service is easily fitted to your needs: The main thing is to get washday out of the home! After all, this is an age of specializa- tion.
