Burgess A careless look, a wandering glance, And lo! a secret found by chance. —Beauty the Wood Duck . Peter Rabbit sat under a little Temlock tree back a short distance from the shore of the pond of Paddy the Beaver. He had given up looking for the nest of Beauty the Wood Duck. As he sat there under the lit- .. tle hemlock tree there was nothing i particular on his mind. He had & | “ full stomach and he was just sitting | there having daydreams. Now ont | Just beyond him was a dead tree. It | was a tree that long before had | been killed by lightning. It was quite tall and, of course, it was| hare. Even the bark had pecled from | it. Half way up this tree, on the| s{de facing Peter, was a hole. | . “I can remember when Bobby | - Goon used to live in that tree,” said | Peter to himself. “I wonder if any- | body has lived in it since. T gucss | Imot. T have never seen any one around it. My goodness! What was that 2" . Peter abruptly sat up very straight with his cars pointing straight up ke two exclamation m. and his _ eyes very round and wide.

But I was bitterly ashamed of my cowardice as soon as Katie had de- parted. I would have called her back and corrected the message had it not Dbcen that such an tion would have aroused her curiosity and that of the men outside. Nocl Takes the Hint When Noel came into the Kitchen, I said simply, “Will you come with me?” and when we reached the front veranda, secure from Kati cars, 1 explained the errand upon which Lillian wished me to go. “I want to get away quietly,” I said, “without too many people knowing that I have gone until I am back again. Can you?” He pointed to his runabout, park. ed on the lawn near the hedge. “1 can take you over in that, and be back before anyone Kknows we are gone,” he said smiling, and 1 drew a quick breath of relief. “I'll get my hat and coat and be with you in a minute,” I said, and indeed it was little longer than that before I joined him, having dashed up to Lillian's room in the intervi and asked her to answer possible in- quiries concerning me as she thought best. Mrs. Ticer came to the door in answer to my knock. Although her buxom, tightly corseted figure was as trig as cver, and her face ap- parently reflected the calm efficien- cy which is always to be found in it, yet she could not control a wor- ried expression in her eyes, which also retlected the fatigue that I knew must be hers at the end of a strenuous day. " . but I'm glad to see you,” she id, the firm line of her lips relaxing into a smile. *“And Mr. Noel, t00,” nodding past me at her former lodger. “I've been ought te do."” She beckoned us into the living rcom, robbed now of all the little touches which had made it home- like during Olina's occupancy, and cheerless with the dusky swathings which protect>d the furniture during the periods when the house was un- tenanted. “Listen!"” se mandatory finger, From a room beyond came the sound of low pitiful sobbing.

For mest of the eccasions of life the right side is believed to be luckier than and superior to the left. Ring Lardner used to curse an enemy with the wish that his son would turn out to be a left-handed baseball pitcher. In most of the nor- mal everyday affaivs of life the right hand is used by most people. There are innumerable theories of right-handedneas and left-handed- ness. In primitive times the left hand was the one always used for magic; it was the hand that was different, the-one that weuld reverse action. In the same way witches used to re- peat the Lord's Prayer aackward. In connection with this jdea there arose the notion that the way to have boys was for the mother to sleep on the right side and for girls on the left side. The ancient Hindu doctors said that if the right eye of the mother was larger than the left the expected child would be a boy. Similar views were held by the ancient Jews, Greeks and Romans. It the right side predominated in size or in fullness of any portion, or even in rate of the pulse or of strength of the pulse, the forthcom- ing progeny was anticipated to be male. Among the Hindus and Moham- medans as well there are strict rul relative to the use of the right hand and of the left hand for various san- itary purposes. These rules arose no doubt in ignorance and maglc, far in advance ef modern conceptions of Fashion Plaque stiff broom and you will be sugprised how much brighter the rug’ looks.

Of course the ancients did net un- derstand these delicate mechanisms of human physiclogy. They put te- gether their superstitions abeut right and left and their igngrance of hu- man physiclogy and the result was the belief handed down threugh menerations: that it the left ear burns one is heing condemned or will become Il or have bad luck, and that i the right ear burns the signs, omens and portents are favor- able.

Small gifts are lovely showered down from a pastel colored decorative crepe it holds the larger gifts. A big wedding bell above the table, i1 silver, gold or color can let many bride pulls a rihbo that rings the bell. A colored clothes line, holding the gifts of a minccllaneous shower is & pleasant mul (Lower) Table decorations can include little lacy brides and attendants, nut dishes with wedding other appropriate insignia and favcrs and place cards are cute when they use wome form of gaudy culored umbrellas, standing atop a box bride. April show- may or may not bring the May flowers that the old adage promiscs. But May showers inevitably bring a lot of gifts that June brides wil ap- preciate tremendously. Bridal showers are one tradition that no one wants discontinued. They are such fun to get ready. And everyone cnjoys them so much. Per- haps this plearure lics in the fact that showers are essentially inti- mate. Only friends indulge in them. Everything about them is so per- sonal. 8howers scldomn are run as sur- prise parties in this modern age. But the hostess can have a surprise in the inzenuity with which she pre- sents the hride-to-be with gifta. Um- brellas above the table that will rain down lovely trifles are olways a pretty and logival decoration. Littic place cards of umbrellas standing on candy or nut hoxes are good with these. (‘ornucopias, bells, ships or other figures that contain gifts are good, too. The decorated table in pretty colors is usually one main feature of the shower, A fNew Novelty in Showers One of the newest showers that demands an especial type of decora- | tion is the clothes-line shower. (*on- | trary to its name, it merely means | fricnds can bring anything that washes and irons. It is a miscellane- ous shower. A cute way to arrange this is to have a real clothes lin: hying up across the dining room, with all the gifts on it Place cards. favors, dccorations and everything | can play up clothes pins, and other | features of wash day. The bride | should be given a clothes basket to put her gifts into. | A new and very novel shower this | season is the smoking jacket, loung- {ing pajamas, slippers, ash trays, fancy colored fags, colored matches, lighters, cigaret holder and other smoking equipment is appropriate. Bridge rhowers are not o new, but | are interecting. Score pads, cards, hrige tuhle covers, table number and | pencil contrivances. pottery dishes and linen appropriately decorated with card figures all are in order. The beauty shower is acceptable most brides. Choice powder, rouge, lipstick, perfumery, week-end beau- ty kits and celored crystal contain- ers for the dressing tablé make a very pretty shower. In matters this personal, guests should consult the hostess who will know the bride-to- be's fuvorite in beauty articles. Saggestions for “Bathroom sShowers” Bathroom showers are glorious things today, with the wealth of color and flowered things that bath- rooms inspire. 8cented salts, delicate perfumed _soaps, colorful bottles of lotiens, pastel shaded towels, wash- rags and mats, printed shower cur. tains and window curtains, colored hampers and so on are there to choose. ‘Wardrobe or clothes closct show- ers are gala things now, what with littie colored flowers for hatstands, birds for shoe trees, colored cre- tonne or calico for dress, shoe, laun- dry and lingerie bags and a muiti- tude of praeted or plain colored hoxes for whatnots. Book showers are dangcrous unless hostesses know the bride’s taste in books. Cleaning showers are wonderful if guests club together and get a vacuum cleaner, and varieties of brushes and other gadgets that are acceptable. Brides who will live in an apart- ment house must have especial eon- siderdion. A modern shower is good When a girl puts away her fup coat for a bathing suit it has to be pretty hot. “Two-Piece Model in Print” Pattern 8630 ' An exceptionglly attractive twe piece model is presented in Design £630.
