oo oN wITH THE STORY

At door which opened into a dim ,v lighted room, Kate was left alone. Sing Loy had disappeared.
 Kate peered in.
 The small, windowless enclosure was walled on four sides by heavy em- bro,deries on scarlet background. The bed was canopied and draped Tn brilliant satins, heavy with still more brilliant embroideries On a small, satin-draped stand was high, fanci- fully ornamented pitcher, from which long pipe stems issued. There was just one chair in the room-a small straight backed affair in gold leaf.
 From the scarlet satin drapings oi the bed rose a figure. A feminine ng- ure. It advanced.
 "Alice!" Kate was startled by the cound, though 1t was her own voice
 ..Yes!" defiantly, and then: Yes. ,n a lower tone half apologetic. half caustic.
 .Have you time to talk to me now ---orsare you busy?" Kate asked.
 "Oh. I've got time," hippantiy .what I don't do now can do some other time--I wasn't sold on the block, you know!"
 -How Is Dorothy7" Kate queried.

"It'u be a mercy if you're not i'll. Don't ever do such silly thing again. Have you any more of this powder!' "A little" Belinda confessed.
 "Give it to me-" Mrs. Bunny or dered.
 With a sigh Belinda handed her mother a pinch of white powder in an acorn cup.
 Mrs. Bunny touched her tongue to it.
 "H'mn she said thoughtfully. That will do now. You may go."
 When Jimmy Rabbit came to the Bunny's home the next day to see Belinda, Mrs. Bunny herself came to the door.
 That white powder that you gave Belinda--do you know what it is?'' she asked him.
 Jimmy Rabbit felt very uncomfort- able. He knew that Mrs. Bunny could scold, when she wanted to.
 "I-I--I think it's called four" he stuttered.
 And then Mrs. Bunny said some thing that surprised him.
 "See if you can't get me a bushel oi it." she urged him. Somehow it ha' q very pleasant taste"

telling her mother, without words, that she knew what was best for her and that she meant to nave It, Ioo. She had discovered that 1t was safer 10 express her thoughts in that fash- ion, rather than say them right out. Probably nobody else ever learned that little trick.
 We'll the days passed. And Mrs Bunny had about forgotten the mat ter of powder, when Belinda came home one evening with very good Iool, on her face. Her mother mo- t,ced if at once. And she knew that there must be some reason Tor It.
 "Now, Belinda Bunny!" she ex- claimed. What have you been dolng that you shouldn't?"
 "Nothing, Maj" Belinda answered.
 Her mother gave her searching glance. ., u,,
 "What's that on your face?' she demanded. "Come here to me. Bend vour head over." She seized her daughter and dragged her to the light.
 .oThere's a queer, white ring around your face," Mrs. Bunny declared after she had taken a good look al her daughter. T can't think what II can be-"
 And then she remembered what had been said about powder, a week or two before.
 ..Have you been putting somethine on your face, Belinda?" she asked sternly. ,,,
 "Well-er-I-I just tried litue powder"-Belinda stammered.
 .Ha," cried Mrs. Bunny. Where did you get it?"

MISS BELINDA BUNNY MAKES
 HERSELF BEAUTIFUL.

Miss Belinda Bunny certainly didn't need to brink. As her mother was forever boosting, she was the hand somest young Rabbit lady in all Pleasant Valley. And if you don't believe it you would better ask Jim my Rabbit about that. He would tell you what he thought.
 As for Belinda herself, she was never satisfied with her own looks. Somehow the stylish clothes that her mother made for her never quite suit ed her. Privately she thought that her mother was about a dozen years behind the times, where questions of fashion were concerned.
 Poor Mrs. Bunny! She found 1t quite discouraging, trying to please her daughter. No matter how much time Mrs. Bunny spent making over her old clothes for Belinda, that young person always demanded a tuck here or ruffle there, bow in this place or a furbelow in that, where Mrs. Bunny had left gown quite plain and severe.
 And as if that wasn't enough-and too much-Belinda Bunny began at last to tell her mother she must have some powder for her face.
 "Sakes alive!" cried Mrs. Bunny the first time Belinda mentioned DOW der to her. What are we coming to 2
