 MT. Rabbit said no more about New Years resolutions.

 Mir. Rabbit started: and he dropped his spoon upon the floor with clat- ter.
 i've been thinking the matter over," he replied with sly glance at his wife. I've about decided 1t will be best for our family if none of us makes any promises this year. I be- lieve we'll get along just as well without them"
 T was just going to decide thas wouldn't eat any more green peas un- til next June," Jimmy told his par ents.
 Well, there can be no harm in promising yourself that" said his father. You won't have any trouble keeping that promise. There won't be fresh green pea eaten in Pleas ant Valley for more than five months. On the whole" he added, that would be a fine resolution for all of us to make"
 Mrs. Rabbit smiled slightly.
 "I'll agree to that" she said. And it won't interfere with our meals here in this house. They'll be served promptly to those that are on time for them"
 Certainly! Certainly" Mir. Rabbit exclaimed hastily. And then he be- gan to talk about the weather, and how cold it would probably be the next day.

 "Or that he won't do something that he ought not to do," added Mrs. Rabbit a bit tartly. For instance" she went on, "one might promise himself that he wouldn't be late for his meals, as he was last year"
