clear to the bottom of the pit" said he.
 "Oh." exclaimed Peter, staring at all those little holes with new interest.
 q suppose yoa will keep on making tunnels and holes until you get to the top of the pit and can climb out"
 Certainly" replied Old Mir. Toad. Tt is the only thing to do. I don't want to spend the rest of my life here"
 Tt is almost too wonderful to be- lieve," declared Peter, and in the very way he said it was new admiration and respect for Old Mir. Toad
 "Nothing wonderful about it," de- clared Old Mir. Toad, wee bit testify. Its just plain sense and hard work, mostly hard work I haven't done so much hard work for long, long time, and there has got to be lot more be- fore I get out" MT. Toad looked up at the edge of the pit and sighed. But I'll get there," he added. It is only matter of keeping at it. You'll find that it is that way with most things in this world, Peter Rabbit. It is the one who keeps everlastingly at a thing who gets it. When 1 found myself at the bottom of this pit it looked to me as if I would stay here the rest of my life unless some one happened along to help me. Then I remembered that he is best helped who helps himself, and started in to see what could do. I dug in little way and then began to slant up. Then I worked out and made that second hole, so as to have a place to out the sand and also to sit and catch such bugs as might come along. Peo- pie who work must eat, you know. Then I made another little tunnel and third hole little higher than the sec ond. So kept on until I reached that hole where you first saw me, and so l shall keep on until get out. I'm not much of a digger, but give me time enough and I'll get there, and I've got all the time there is. It is a lucky thing for me that this sand is easy to dig in. Come around tomorrow, Peter, and you'll find me a little nearer the top" With this Old MT. Toad disap- Leared and through Peter waited and waited he didn't see him again. He was at work on new tunnel.

Little Stories For Bedtime
Old Mir. Toad Tells Peter How He Did It
tBy THORNTON BURGESS,

Old Mir. Toad Tells Peter How He Did It WHEN Peter Rabbit asked Old MT; w Toad to tell him how he had
 managed to make all those pug zling holes in the side of the big pit in Farmer Browns garden Old MT. Toad looked up to where Peter was peeping over the edge of the pit and winked. It was very slow wink. Peter didn't know just what it meant. Old MT. Toad didn't even smile. He just winked and that was all. Then he gradually he backed so far hack in that little hole in which he swas sitting that Peter couldn't see him at all. Peter waited and waited, his eyes, big with curiosity, fixed on that little hole. But not a thing did he see of Old MT. Toad. By and by Peter began to suspect that Old MT. Toad was playing a trick on him and and that that was what that wink had meant Yes sir, he began to suspect that Old MT. Toad didn't intend to show himself again,
 That wasn't bit like Old MT. Toad and Peter ought to have known better than to have suspected him of such a thing. But Peter was impatient, and you know how it is with impatient peo- pie. It is hard work for them to wait for those who are not as quick moving as they are. 1t was just so with Peter now. It seemed to him that he had waited as long as any one could be expected to wait and he had just made up his mind to give up and go away in huff when he heard the voice of Old MT. Toad once more. There was no doubt about it, it was the voice of Old MT. Toad, but look as he would, Peter couldn't see Old Man Toad. Of course, Peter was staring at the hole where he had last seen MT. Toad, and yet the voice somehow didn't seem to come from there.
 Look over at the next hole on your right and little lower down." said the voice.
 Peter did as he was told and there was the head of Old MT. Toad sticking out of that hole. There was no doubt about it. Old Mir. Toad was looking up at him from that other hole instead of from the hole where had been in the first place. He winked in just that same solemn way he had winked be- fore.
 However did you get there?" cried Peter.
 Same way I got up to the other hole of course," retorted Old Man Toad.
 Do you mean you have got tun- nel between those two holes?" asked Peter eagerly. his face lighting up, and for the first time he began to un- derstand how it might be.
 Old MT. Toad nodded. And there is tunnel to that next hole lower down and from there to the next one, and so

Many women find the use of doilies or small tea cloths more satisfactory than the large damask table cloths and no longer confine themselves to white in their table appointments. Sets of ecru linen are excellent and a modern note is struck in small cloths of hand blocked linen in lovely colors and in teresting designs.
