He blinked. He gaped at her in the most foolish manner, and for a minute ar two he couldn't fin e. She was the last person in the Great World he had expected to ee. He just couldn't believe his eyes and ears. He hadn't the least idea that she was anywhere but in the dear old | nelg! Briar-patch. Peter had been taking & nap late that afterncon when Mrs. Peter had slipped away. When he awoke it was . He looked about hastily Peter, but not seeing her, concluded that she was on the other side. This was a chance for him to go unobse! and he had made the most of it. He scampered for the +Old Pasture as fast as his legs could take him, lipperty-li] y-lip. He was fearful that Molly, the yo Rabhit ‘with whom he foolishly fancied himself in love, would not wait for him. And now instead of Molly here was little Mrs Peter! Do you wonder that he didn’t know what to think? “It is nice of you to suggest taking & walk,” said little Mrs. r sweetly. Peter found his tongue. “I thought “HOW YOU KNOW I WAS UP HERE?" MRS, PETER MIS- CHIEVOUSLY, o might like to” said he. “It is a jong time since we have had a walk “How did you know I was up here?” #sked Mrs. Peter michievously. “When I awoke and didn’t find you in the dear old Briar-patch I thought of the Old Parture right away,” re- plied Peter promptly and quite truth- fully. “You never go to the Green Forest or the Old Orchard, and you used to live in the Old Pacture, 50 where else should I look for you?” Little Mrs. Peter chuckied inside.

However, by this time these twi widely used in dresses and hats that they have become familiar to almost every one interested in dress. and green leading. Browns in wide riety were yours to choose from, and you had the privilege of wearing all brown, all green or a combination of these two favored colors. These two colors will remain in good repute, but if you want to show yourself very smart and sophisticated you will der the possibilities of blue. Soldier blue, & | little brighter than navy, sponsored by | Vionnet in Paris, is likely to become & late Winter favorite among well dressed women, and midnight blue and navy blue are favored by spme of the im- | portant French dressmakers. Shades of the violet range had re- mained in the background for some time, but there are definite signs of & revived interest in these colors: A soft shade of amethyst is sometimes com- bined with green in evening dresses, and a rich, soft violet is one of the most afternoon dress. Animosities. You have said “There is somethini about that person that I don't like. Whenever you make a remark like that, you may be sure that one of your ani- mosities is raising a disturbance deep down in your storehouse of repressed desires and painful memories, or per- haps in your gallery of unfinished or damaged ‘pictures of yourself.

But all he said was: “Suppose we (;| call on your father, Old Jed “I've already called on him and he You are me,” replied lMttle Mrs. Peter. “I think he has lived alone by himself too much It isn't good for any one to be too much alone. Now if he had some good hbors it might be different.” “He would never get along with neighbors, never in the world,” said Peter in a most decided tone. “It would be nice if some other Rab- bit came here to live. Don't you think m’l‘ht?“ ot amiided Peter that Mol reming at Molly might be somewhere about and show up any minute. It wouldn't do for irs. Peter to see her or for her to see Mrs. Peter, “Don't you think we better be moving along, my dear?” said he, hastily. “We are quite a distance from the dear old Briar-patch and we don't want to hurry.” “But, my dear, you invited me to go to walk, and I don't call just going home going to walk,” protested little Mrs. Peter. “Do you know what?” - asked Peter. to visit every single place to know in the Old Pasture. Yes, sir, that is what I want to do. First 1 want to go to the place where you first saw me. Then I want to go to all the places where I used to pre- tend to hide from you. It will be great fun, Peter, and it will bring back old times. Wouldn't it be nice if we should find some other young couple in love living somewhere in the Old Pasturc after all?" replied Mrs. Peter. Again Peter looked at her sus- piciously, but her soft eyes showed him nothing but love and admiration, and again he didn’t know what to think. (Capyright, 1931.) LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

When you challenge their loyalties you stir up a whole series of associated ~oppositions to yourself. Any good you may have to offer is lost (n_the emotional storm you have created. All the child hears is your affront to those he loves. Every feeling of kin- ship is stirred to do battle for an out- raged cause. ith the feeling of outrage comes the other bitter feeling—helplessness. Chil- dren are r=ally helpless in the hancs of their elders. The teacher, the clase relative, the one to whom a little brief authority has been delegated, hold his fate in their hands. All he can do is storm and rave and promise himself to get even by and by. Such struggles leave scars. They set trends of thought that become habits of conduct. The once happy child be- comes sullen, rebellious, impudent, mis- chievous and a thorn in the flesh. He is ingenious about finding ways to an- noy. He is cunning in his plans for re- venge. All this because a well meaning adult took the wrong way with a help- less child. ‘When you face a child in a new sit- uation, tread softly.

Our Net Bags Won't Solve Modern Laundry Expert Explains “Net Bag System” Tells How Manhattan Saves You Money By Saving Your Clothes Present day laundry methods, which preserve clothes as well as clean them, are far superior to the old home method of rubbing and scrubbing, according to Mr. E. F. Wesely, chief of the Research De- artment of Manhattan Laundry. r. Wesely attributes a large part of the Manhattan Laundry’s suc- cess to their Net Bl; System. Manhattan’s famous Net Bag System of washing, as described by Mr. Wesely, follows: First, the clothes are assorted according to their color and material and placed in individual net bags which bear the customer’s name and contain only that customer’s articles. Safe in the nets and protected from all metal or other hard surfaces, the clothes go into the washers. Here they are subjected to the gentle clean: action of swirling hot suds which penetrate each garment and loosen every particle of dirt. Only the purest of Palm Qil soaps and soft, filtered water are used, after first h“in’l been inspected and tested by the Research Depart- Many rinsings of fresh, clear water follow, removing every trace of dirt. This thorough care in washing is one reason why Man- hattan Jaundered clothes stay new- looking so much longer. Customer Praises Net Bags In a recent letter to the Man- t Laundry, Mrs. E. R.
