{, he really is here. I think I'll look about a bit before 90 in"
 Now the doorstep was of sand, as Jimmy Chuck's doorsteps always are, Almost at once Jimmy chuckled. There were Peter's tracks, and they pointed straight toward the inside of Johnny Chuck's old house. Jimmy looked care 1 fully, but not a single track pointing the other way could he find. Then he chuckled again.
 "The scamp is here, all right" he muttered. He hid here and watched all that happened, and then decided to lie low and wait until he was sure that the way was clear and no one would see him" In this Jimmy was
 partly right and partly wrong, as you and I know.
 He stared down the long, dark door way a minute. Then he made up his mind. "I'll go down and make Peter call, and I won't bother to knock" he chuckled, and poked his head inside the doorway. But that was as far as Jimmy Skunk went. Yes, sir, that was just as far as Jimmy Skunk went. You see, no sooner did he start to enter that old house of Johnny Chuck's than he was met by lot of yellow-jackets, which you know are kind of hornet. And they were in very bad temper, were those yellow ackets. You see, their house was just inside that door way, and they had already been quite upset once that morning by Peter Rab- bit. So the instant Jimmy Skunk started to enter out they poured all ready to fight.
 But Jimmy Skunk had no intention of l fighting. He knows all about yellow jackets and the sharp little lances they carry in their tails. and has the great
 est respect for them. He backed out in hurry and actually hurried away to a safe dintance. Then he sat diwn to think. After a little he began to chuckle again. "I know what happened" said he, talking to himself. Peter Rabbit popped into that doorway. Those yell low jackets just naturally got after him. He didn't dare come out for fear of Reddy Fox and me, 50 he went on down to Johnny Chuck's old bedroom, and he's down there now wondering how
 ever he is to get out without getting stung. I reckon I don't need to scare
 Peter to pay him for that joke. I reck- on he's been punished already" Next Story: Peter Rabbit is Most | Uncomfortable.

Home Nursing

RM RS. HARRIS was a woman who V refused to take life seriously. When her children cut their laughed at them and said that life was too short to worry-they would be all right in few minutes.
 But one day her small son stumbled over a kettle of water which had been carelessly left on the floor-a practice that should be punished like other crim- inal offenses.
 When Mrs. Harris picked him up. screaming with pain, she knew that this was one time when laughing would not help. Suddenly she realized that she did not know what to do.
 Instead of worrying over cuts and bumps, and learning by experience what to do, she found herse lfconfronted with the agonizing realization that be- cause she had never taken life seriously before she did not know how to cope with a grave emergency when it arose.
 So it was that Mrs. Murphy, the washwoman, a stordid looking woman, took matters in hand and issued brusque orders-which the mother mutely obeyed.
 What thing to do! Who left that kettle of water on the floor, anyway she exclaimed.
 "I did," admitted the mother, brok- enly. Il didn't think-I was just going to pick it up when Robbie stumbled over it-I didn't see him behind me Oh, dear, what shall do? Is he dead What shall do?'
 Stop talking" said the wash wom. an. We gotta get his clothss off and lay him down quick, and get some clean old rags and some baking soda and water-quick! Run, phone for the doctor !"
 Following the instructions of the woman who washed her clothes, the mother hurriedly found old muslin ant tore up soft old garments with prayer in her throat.
 The child, whose legs and abdomen were badly scalded, was placed on tht bed by roughened hands that were un believably gentle, and Mrs. Murphy cut his clothing, and Mrs. Murphy cut hi, clothing away quickly, needless of hii mothers tears when she saw the littl, body already covered with white blis ters.
 Trying as well as she could not tt break the blisters, Mrs. Murphy freed the child from his clothing, mixed bak

What Gives Tone To High Priced
 Frocksp

DID you ever stop to figure out
 what it really was that made the
 high priced frocks in the shops seem worth their price? Some of them require pure genius, some tedious la- bor, some an inborn sense of style, etc, all of which may seem outside the grasp of many of you who would like to make your own clothes. There are, however, few very telling points which stamp a garment as high class, but which are so simple that any woman with reasonable taste may em- ploy them to gain for your homemade clothes the coveted high price look. One is the tasteful choice and combination of fabrics, another is the artistic ming ling of colors, and another is the care ful matching of colors which should be matched.
 Smart combinations of fabrics and of colors are suggested in my design to- day. It is the type of frock which will lend trim, neat, swagger air to the woman who wears it, provided, of course, that she has a reasonably good carriage. An excellent quality sport silk would develop this frock pleasingly. and with richness enough to carry it to any summer resort where smart dressing is necessary.
 In white 1t would be fetching com bined with yellow and white striped silk broadcloth for the vest front and for the undercuffs. The tiniest of white pearl buttons serve conveniently to hide the center seam, which brings the stripes into juxtaposition, while large pearl buttons form links for the cuffs.
 The back of the model has the two wide pleats which are continued from the front over the shoulders, while the narrow belt may disappear before reaching them, as it does in front, or may pass over them. To many women the beltless back is especially be- coming.
 Serge, chambray. linen, gingham, al- pacca, etc, are other suitable fabrics. A very practical suggestion would be cinnamon brown alpaca for the main portion, with fan and white silk broad cloth for the vest and white silk broad cloth for collar and undercuffs.

 "Hello!' !'' the Witch howled, Here's the hobby horses head! He broke it off when he 'blumpeJ against my door And here is his wooden body! I'll just take him in the house and mend him as good as new then I'll have a nice hobby horse to ride upon!" She picked up the broken hobby horse and carried it to her front door. 'The wind has blown the door shut Y the witch said. But when she went to the back door, she found it shutand locked too. How can I get in?" the Witch asked herself, but, of course, no one answered her and Raggedy Ann, peeping out from behind the window curtains, knew the Witch could not get in, unless Rag gedy Ann herself unlocked the doors.

Discontent Often
 Comes From Envy
Rv ,HLIA HOYT.

THAvE said that I d. not believe that there is any good excuse for
 any woman being habitually discon- tenhed. By that I do not mean that many of us have everything that we de eirA nor do I mean that many of us have not passed through periods of 8iscontent with ourselves and our lots. That is quite a different thing from chronic discontent and so long as we can use the expression passed through" we can go on to tell how we discovered a new interest and new rest in life. I have never known any one who had a definite interest in life, who was troubled with more than feetins moments of boredom and dis content.
 It is, naturally. impossible to lay down rules as to the way to overcome discontent Some of us are lucky enough to have a decided urge for some difinite line of work or occupa- ticn, and are confident of its power to bring us as much happiness as lr- terest. Others of us may have to hunt for a while before we discover a so- lution, but that there is solution for all, I am confident.
 One of the greatest sources of dis content among women is envy of oth- ers. Many women will not acknowl- edge that they feel it-may not really be conscious of it's existence in them selves, but just the same they are feel ing it. How stupid envy is! To my mind it is as foolish as having faith in q fortune teller-you remember and talk of the three things that he has told you which have come true, and forget or dismiss the seventeen others which were wide of the mark. We envy in people the one or two qualities or possessions that we admire, and completely dismiss both the known and unknown misfortunes and disadvantages which may also be theirs.
 We all have the right to want things, and to do our utmost to achieve or acquire them. This, however, is not of discomfort" Envious people simply sit back with their hands in their laps. and encourage in themselves hatred of people who seem to be more fortunate, making no effort to change their pres ent condition of life to one which they would find more satisfactory.
 Don't you know women who feel at a loss, if they do not find something to complain about? They are really happy in their discontent. and only succeed in making others, with whom they come in contact, unhappy and uncomfortable. It is not the actual lack. of some pos session, or the desire for some different kind of life, that makes them discon- tented; it is a frame of mind that makes them dissatisfied with whatever they possess, and with the life they lead. Many times these people will acquire the very things they wanted and quickly discover another source of unhappiness to take the place of their former complaint against life.
 The other great cause for discon- tent among women is boredom. What can be said to women of today who are bored? I believe it is simply up to them to discover something--it makes no difference what-that in terests them and keeps them busy. If they are forced to be busy much of the time at something that does not

Early To Bed Is Essential For
 School Child
By EMuM HOFFMAN

<<THERE," exclaimed an excited ss miss, "now have to rush off
 to school and I haven't done . single bit of my home work. I may as well stay home"
 A stormy scene with 6 shower of tears followed, but the mother insisted upon the daughter going to school. and then with a sigh she remarked, It is really to bad May gets so nervous about her home work. It was late when we got home from the movies last night and she went to bed dead tired, SO she oyerslept this morning and couldn't do the work as she intended to. Now just see the state she is in. It is just awful the way they make the children work in the schools"
 It never occurred to this mother that these dreaded examinations are im- minent and every available help should be given to the child. During these last few weeks it is especially essential that school children get ample sleep. Going to the movies had better be rels egated to Friday nights. No child can do good school work when staying up until II D. m. School children should be allowed to indulge in evening pleas ures only on condition that the home work is completed. This is necessary to uphold a good class standing.

Jimmy visits Johnny Chuck's Old
 House

Jimmy Visits Johnny Chucks Old House
 JIMMY SKUNK was smiling as he
 ambled toward the old house of " Johhny Chuck, near the foot of the hill, There was no one there to see him and this made him smile still more. You see, the odor of that perfume which he had thrown at Reddy Fox just a little while before was very, very strong there and Jimmy knew that until that had disappeared no one would come near the place, because 1t was So unpleasant for every one. To Jimmy himself it wasn't unpleasant at all and he couldn't understand why other peo- pie disliked 1t so. He had puzzled over that great deal. He was glad that it was so, because oh account of it every one treated him with respect and took special pains not to quarrel with him.
 ''I guess it's q good thing that Old Mother Nature didn't make us all alike,"' said he to himself. q think there must be something the matter with their. noses, and suppose they think there is something the matter with
 my nose. But Shere isn't, Not thing. Hellof There is Johnny Chuck's old house just ahead of me. Now we will see what we shall see"
 He walked softly as he drew near to the old house. If Peter was way down inside it wouldn't matter how he approached. But if Peter should hap pen to be only just inside the doorway he might take it into his head to run if he should hear footsteps, particularly if those footsteps were not heavy enough to he those of Reddy or Granny or Old Man Coyote. Jimmy didn't intend tc give Peter a chance to do any such thing. If Peter once got outside that old house his long legs would soon put him beyond Jimmy's reach and Jimmy knew it. If he was to give Peter the fright that he had made up his mind to give him he would first have to get him where he couldn't run away. So Jimmy walked as softly as he knew how and he approached the old house in such a way as to keep out of sight of Peter, should he happen to be lying so as to look out of the doorway.
 At last he reached position where with one jump he could land right on the doorsteps. He waited few min. utes and cooked his head on one side to listen. There wasn't sound to tell him whether Peter was there or not Then he lightly jumped over to the doorstep and looked in at the doorway There was no Peter to be seen. If he is here he is way down in. side thought Jimmy. T wonder ii

 Raggedy Ann watched her do this IS times then once. when Minga. the Witch, had run out the back door, around the house and in the front. door, Raggedy Ann hopped ID real quick, while the Witch was running through the house to the back door.

 T shall be obliged to leave in day or two. The manswho has bought my property wishes possession as soon as possible. I shall sell some of my things and store the remainder"
 "That would be the thing to do. I should think" I answered timidly, my heart singing the refrain: ''She is going; she is going!"
 There was nothing more said about the affair to me. The next day we were all busy helping aunt to get ready to go. It seemed senseless, but she kept every one in the house waiting on her, fussing if everything was not done at once. But nothing worried me. She was going. I should once more be alone with my husband and my baby.

One Mother Says:
 do not require my children to meet every one who comes to see me. They are able to greet strangers politely, but it seems to me unfair to the chill dren to call them in to be cordial to people in whom they have no interest and to answer their oftentimes foolish questions. A mother hasn't a right to put such a test to a child's good nat ure that she may show it off.
