The way your neighbdr lives may be Impossible for you or me. —Peter Rabbit. ETER RABBIT used to think it very silly of Johnny Chuck to | sleep all Winter. He couldn’t | do it, so he couldn't under- stand how Johnny Chuck could do it. Furthermore, Peter had no desire to do it. Not in his younger | days, anyway. Later therc were days | of cold and scarcity of food and heavy | storms when once in a while Peter Rabbit envied Johnny Chuck for the | time being. But it was not long be- fore he understood that Johnny's long sleep was necessary: that sleeping was the only means by which he could live through the Winter. Johnny Chuck has to sleep because there is no food to be obtained in Winter. That is, no food that he can eat. Peter had rather a hard time this ‘Winter. There had been bad storms, long storms when getting about was out of the question. Much of the time he and Mrs. Peter had been obliged to live altogether on bark and buds of young trees and bushes. Such food Kkept one alive, but one grew very tired | of it day after day, and it wasn't very filling. Johnny Chuck couldn’t have lived on it. Now Winter was about over. Much of the snow had disappeared. He could find some dry grass, and it would be only a little while before the first green would be showing. How Peter did long for that time & come. So| did Mrs. Peter. | “I sometimes think that, consider- | ing everything, this is the hardest | season of all the year.” said Peter as | he and Mrs Peter nibbled some dry | grass just outside the dear Old Briar Patch. “It is sort of between times. !

And—" “You don't look so well yourself,” retorted Peter. “I'm sick and tired to death at the sight of this Briar Patch. If I can’t have a change of food, I can at least have a change of scene.” And, without heeding Mrs. Peter's protests, off went Peter, lip- perty, lipperty, lip. He roamed about rather aimlessly, and finally sat down on the doorstep 22 (1) ; : 2\ S AW fim el “THAT’'S WHAT I SAID,” REPLIED JOHHNY CROSSLY. of the house in which Johnny Chuck had been spending the Winter. Peter didn’t know it. He was so busy run- ning about here and there in the Fall, that he didn’t know just where Johnny finally decided to spend the Winter. Now he had forgotten all about Johnny. He sat there on Johnny's doorstep, trying to decide where to go next and wishing that he had some one to talk to. Finally he be- gan to doze. Peter awoke with a start. What had wakened him he did not know, but the he had been so startled*that he had | made a long jump almost before his He was just preparing for another jump when a querulous voice de- manded: “What were you doing on Why don’t you sit on your own doorstep? It is a great pity when a fellow can't iake a little nap without having some one take posses- sion of his doorstep.” Peter looked. He rubbed his eyes | and looked again. That was Johnny Chuck there, with just his head out of his doorway. There could be no doubt about it. He must have been asleep down below, and he (Peter) | had not heard a sound until just be- | fore Johnny reached that doorway. No wonder he had been startled into making that long jump. It was enough | to frighten any one. Now, wasn't it?” Peter grinned. “Did I understand you to say a little nap?” he asked. “That’s what I said,” replied Johnny crossly. Peter began to chuckle. “A little nap,” he repeated to himself. “A little | nap.” (Copyright, 1935.)

Meening the end of the subjeck. Nancy Page Claire Makes Three-Tiered Belt for Old Dress, BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. OF ALL the Lacey girls, Claire was the most popular and the most original. She was invited to many affairs. So many in fact that her parents simply could not give her as many new clothes as she thought she ought to have. As a result, Claire was put on her own resources to make her old clothes over, so they had a new appearance. One of her belts was voted a great success. Claire bought three strips of grosgrain ribbon. She found some at the dime store that was acceptable, although finally she did buy it at another shop. But the belt buckle, which she removed from another belt, rame from the dime store. The rest of the belt was impossible. Had the buckle not been the righ® cclor she might have used enamel to paint it the color she wanted. Or she could have dissolved sealing wax in alcohol and then applied this heavy, plastic material to the beit buckle. The colors she chose were dark blue, light blue and a very pale yel- low, almost straw color. She could have used chartreuse, dark blue and coral. Or coral, chartreuse and white. ‘Two shades of green and a pale violet were three other colors. So were dark brown, henna and emerald green. The three strips of ribbon were stitched on the machine, with the edges over- lapping. The buckle was sewed in place and holes were punched in the ribbon for the tongue of the buckle. Another trick of Claire’s was the marking of all her handkerchiefs. She used white embroidery cotton, about three strands, and embroidered her name in running script in the center of the handkerchief. In this way she could always iden- tify a lost handkerchief and the finder had no excuse for not returning the kerchief to its owner.

(Copyright. 1935.) o Dorothy Dix Says was tawking to Mr. Riey the | What Girls Need to Realize Is That Divorce Is Desperate Remedy After Hope of Reconciliation Has Failed. NE thing that should be impressed upon the minds of girls more than almost enything else is that divorce is a major operation and not a cocktail party. Something to be resorted to only in a last desperate effort to save one’s life, when all other remedies have been tried and failed, not just an exciting bit of adventure. We all recognize that divorce is a necessary evil. There are times in which it is righteousness. There are cases when the oniy moral, decent, self-respecting thing that a woman can do is to get a divorce from a husband who humiliates her by his infidelities, or who beats and misuses her, or who insults and reviles her, or who has lost whatever affection he ever had for her and is in love with some other woman who is his real mate. BUT if women got divorces only for real causes, there would be very few broken homes and half-orphaned children in our midst. The real thing that sends women by the tens of thousands to the Divorce Court is the naive belief that divorce is like a patent nostrum, good for whatever ails them, end that it wiil cure dullness, boredom, lack of money, lack of romance, and crows’ feet around the eyes, restore the complexion and reduce the figure, The faith that women put in troubles would be laughable, if its results were not so tragic. the sentimental wife who craves divorce as a remedy for all their For affection and jollying that her practical husband does not give her, thinks that she can feed her hungry heart on a divorce. The wife who hates dish-washing and pinching pennies believes that she would never have to do any labor harder than buying pretty clothes if only she had a divorce. The wife who finds domesticity flat, thinks that if she were divorced, she would live in a world of thrills and night clubs and gayety. The jealous wife believes that she would be peaceful and happy if she were divorced from the man she loves so much, that he is all the world to her. . OH‘ DIVORCE is going to make everything all right for them! It is going to make them young and beautiful and gay and light-hearted and desirable to men. It is going to fill their pockets. It is going to heal all the wounds that life and experience have given them. But, alas and alack, when they get their decrees absolute, they find that something has gone wrong with the magic. It has failed to work, and nine times out of ten their divorced estate is worse than their married one was. ‘They find that divorce is no panacea for the ills from which they suffered. It is no cure for disappointment and disillusion. It does not stop the intolerable ache in a wounded heart. It does not even bring unearned prosperity, because a divorced woman's alimony is never as much as she would have got as the wife of her husband. THE woman who leaves her husband, because of some great wrong he has done her, may find that her divorce brings her a great release. But the women who divorce their husbands for trivial causes, or just because they are disgruntled with marriage and shirk its duties and responsibilities, and because they belleve it is the open door into some sort of mythical Utopia, almost invariably discover that they have brought down sorrow on their heads, and that all their decrees give them is greater loneliness than they have known, fewer comforts and luxuries, and the necessity of going out and l:xunung up a job to support themselves. Another reason that women rush so blithely into divorce is be- cause they cherish the unfounded belief that when they get a divorce they will be automatically metamorphosed into the girls they were before they were married. The years will be rolled back, and the woman of 48 will be flapper 18. She will be beautiful and slim and high-spirited and alluring, and boys will flock about her, and she will be mamma’s and papa’s pet, and they will delight in making her happy. And there will be no black memories to cloud her sunshine and no children clinging to her skirts. BUT, unfortunately, the Divorce Court is not the fountain of per-. petual youth and. no matter how often the middle-aged woman dips into it, she still comes up just as she went in, with her girlhood gone, her beauty gone. Mother and father give her a cold welcome when she returns with her children to be supported, and eligible men step far, wide and handsome, when she is around, for they cannot see themselves undertaking a readymade family. Nothing is more common than to hear a young girl say that if she doesn't like marriage she will not stick to it, that she can always get a divorce. is @ boomerang she would think a her ticket to Reno.

Lewis and Clarke made numerous entries in their diarles when they were staying on the lower Columbia River. In them mention was made several times of the tubers of the arrowhead.

On the lower Sacramento and San Joaguin | Rivers and deltas the tubers are called | tube potatoes. The Chinese of these | districts are eager to get them. In moist, shady places you often see | the arrowhead and lovely cardinal | flower together. They stand side by | side, their feet in the water, and on the clear surface their beautiful faces | are mirrored. The pure white flowers, with hearts of gold, are the male ones (staminate) and the green knobs, found below the | white blossoms, are the female ones | (pistillate). The seed babies are found . Where the knobs are in the Spring. Sometimes the arrowhead grows to a height of 4 feet. Eight inches is the average height. The handsome, olive-green leaves are arrow shaped, and from this the flower received its name. Any flower that decides to spend its life in shallow water must be amphibious. It must develop a plan to breathe under water, as fish do, and it must adapt itself to thriving without gills if the ponds dry up. When the arrowhead is in deep water she has many ribbon-like leaves | about her feet, and these do not tear as the water races over them. When water is scarce, the ribbon leaves drop off and the large, broad ones develop. They face the sun and store oxygen in their system. Look well into the little white flow- ers’ faces, for some of them are per- fect, which means complete flowers, | with all that is needed for the setting of seeds. £ | (Copyright, 1935.) —_— Pointed Paragraphs.

IT HAS been said that animals do not talk, for the simple reason that they have nothing to say. This must mean that they have no ideas. I seem to recall a definition in my old school grammar that words were signs of ideas. In these latter days psychology has fallen from grace. It takes nothing for granted. It is content to take note merely of the facts of behavior, whether the behaving is by a dog or a human being. Accord'ng to modern psychology, speech is movement. The larger your vocabulary the more numerous are the movements you are able to make when confronted with something that calls for “verbal behavior.” Speech is, therefore, in the modern sense of the term, a system of reaction-patterns. You acquire your speech-paiterns in exactly the same way you acquire every other habit. Our distant ancestors tried first one scheme, then another, until they found one that worked. And the ones that worked were the ones that were handed on to us as a sort of so- cial heritage in the form of a dic- tionary. And so it happens that you simply imitate these movements; that is, you learn the meaning of words at school. Your speech, then, is merely an acquired stock of move- ments, found to be successful in a wide variety of situations. (Copyright. 1935.) How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. “Mount Vernon.” 'HIRTY-SIX years before the sign- ing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence by the Colonies, Lieut. Washington, brother of the famous “Founder of the United States of America,” set sail under Admiral Vernon of the English Navy, with the purpose of putting a final quietus on the Spanish, who were giving trouble on the coast of Panama. The expe- dition was entirely successful. ‘When Lieut. Washington returned to his home on the Potomac River he renamed the family estate “Mount Vernon,” after Admiral Vernon, un- der whom he had served on the flag- ship. About 1755 George Washington succeeded to the ancestral property, whose name links the home of the first President of the United States with an interesting episode in the history of Great Britain.
