Peter Overhears a Remark.

Great was the rejoicing all through
the Green Forest and all over the Old
Pasture and the Green Meadows when
it was, discovered that Mr.. Goshawk.
the Gray Terror. had been driven away
by Farmer Browns Boy. Even Granny
and Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote
rejoiced. Why did they. if they were
not afriad of Mr.. Goshawk? Because
he made it just SO much harder for
them to get a living. He created such
terror among the smaller folks in fur
and feathers that they kept SO closely
hidden that the hunting was hard and
uncertain.
But none rejoiced more than Mrs.
Grouse and Peter Rabbit. Mrs. Grouse
because she could once more visit her
favorite feeding grounds in the Green
Forest, and Peter Rabbit because he
could once more leave the dear Old
Brier Patch in safety or at least in
comparative safety. You know Peter
never does feel absolutely safe, because
SO many are always on the watch for
him. One of the first places to be visited

Handkerchiefs Quickly Made.

Dainty handkerchiefs are easily made.
Women lose SO many that it is a great
economy to make them at home, as
they can be made for half what it
would cost to buy them. Instead of
he,nning. roll the edges French fash
ION. To do this. first dampen the thumb
and first finger of the left hand and
roll as finely as possible as you con-
finue to sew. The lace edging or in
sertion that one trims with should be
sewed on with the same stitch that
sews the roll. In other words, the roll
and edging are sewed at the same time.
1t makes a prettier and more delicate
finish than hem. as it Is almost invis-
ible. Such handkerchiefs may be trim
med as simply or as elaborately as you
wish.

To Mend Kid Gloves.

Adhesive plaster is used by many for
mending heavy kid gloves. Put the
plaster underneath the rent. lay the
edges together and press against the
plaster.
Care of Table and Bed Linen.
When linen tablecloths are discarded
because more darning would be imprac-
tical, they may be turned into four nap
kins, towels and tray cloths. The four
corners of a tablecloth seldom or never
show signs Of wear or tear, so that they
may be cut into four napkins as large
for ordinary use. When the napkins
are cut out, tho remainder of the cloth
forms a large-sized Maltese cross,
which can be turned into towels, two
be as strong and lasting as the nap
kins. yet they are well worth the hem
ming. If any part of the cross is too
worn to make towel, the good parts
may be cut to the size of the various
trays in the house and trimmed around
the edges with good lace, which has
been saved from various sources.
Sheets that are worn in the center
may be cut down for small sheets. Sim
ply cut the worn part from the center
and sew up the good strips together
"A pair or all-Wool blankets that are
worn thin may be used in making a
quilt. Buy two rolls of cotton batting
and lay it between the blankets, tack
ing it firmly in place and basting the
blankets around the edge. Then cover
the outside with fowered part-silk ma
terial and tack In place with colored
wool to match the prevailing color Of
the cover: It will be equal to an elder
down quilt.
