his greedy little eyes searched every

been going on. But there was moth

at the foot of a tall old stump. BY
this Buster knew for sure that he
had found the place where Blacky and
nothing to tell him why they had been
there. Buster sat up and blinked
thoughtfully. Then as he looked at
the old stump his eyes frightened.
81 don't know what al that fuss
l never will know, but I'm glad l came
just the same. That old stump looks
to me to be rotten and hollow. I have
found ant nests in many an old stump

sway for many years when they wish to

The Surprise of Two Cousins.

Peter Rabbit should have been back
home in the dear old Brier Patch long
ago He knew that Mrs. Peter was worry
ing. She always worries when Peter over
stays. But Peter was not giving much
thought to Mrs. Peter. In fact, l am
afraid he was not giving any thought to
her. You see, he was too full of curiosity
about Bobby Coon and what might hap
pen to him He had seen Bobby turned out
of Prickly Porkys hollow log and had
followed Bobby. From behind tree he
had watched Bobby climb the tall, old.
hollow stump and disappear inside. Then
he had heard the voice of Blacky the
Crow, and had waited to see if anything
more would happen OF course. he had
seen Blacky and his relatives and friends
torment Bobby. He had been sorry for
Bobby in a way, and yet it had seemed
like a great joke that any one sleepy
Bobby was shouldn't be able to sleep.
So ] am afraid Peter rather enjoyed the
excitement
When finally Blacky and his friends
Peter began to think of getting back to
the dear Old Brier Patch.

thought Peter. II can't think of anything
more that possibly can happen to disturb
him Poor Bobby He has had e. hard
time getting that nap"
Still Peter hung around He didn't know
just why. but he had feeling that he
might miss something if he left, and you
know Peter never could forgive himself
If he missed anything worth seeing So he
hung around for some time after Blacky
and his friends had gone about their
business. At last he had just about made
up his mind that he better be starting for

Velvet's Origin.

Few persons realize that velvet was
developed and originated in China.
Thence velvet making was introduced
into India and, in the fourteenth CEN
fury, into Italy. where that sort of
fabric especially appealed and where
the art of velvet making reached its
height 1t Is said thatsvelvet was first
inspired by fur and that it was in order
to make a Silken fabric on the same
order as fine fur that man first set his
wits about to invent this.

cloths is especially noted. Many modish
garments for daytime wear carry a Chi

blending, decoration, etc, but in neglige
garmAats the tendency to favor these
things is even more pronounced.
The sketch illustrates a boudoir suit
combining richly embroidered little
mandarin coat and comfortable little

of flare, frill or fullneSs. The coat proper
may be Chinese blue satin embroidered in

threads, the coat banded in black satin
matching the trousers. AS shown, three
