Peter Rahbit's surprise Party

aTl DETER RABBIT never will forget
 that afternoon when he lay so
 helpless in his bed in the heart of the dear Old Brier Patch. First the surprise of the tender young corn plants came the cheery good wishes of Sammy Jay followed by the beautiful song of Brownie the Thrush one of the sweet est singers in the world. He asked Brownie to sing again, which Brownie did, and before Peter could thank him Tommy Tit was calling
 "Chicadee-dee-deet See me See mev
 Peter saw him. Of course he saw him. Tommy was hanging head down from a twig right over Peters head and just as soon as he saw Peter was looking he began to cut up all sorts of funny antics such as only Tommy can, all the time calling in her cheery way: Dee, dee, dee! See me! See mel He was so funny that Peter just had to laugh.
 Welcome Robin came hurrying over from the Old Orchard at the head of . whole troop of feathered folks, and just as soon as he reached the Old Brier Patch he began to sing as only he can Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer!" It was just what Peter need ed and he did cheer up. How couldche help it with so many good friends all about him? Never had the Old Brier Patch had so many visitors all at once. Little Friend the Song Sparrow was there to sing whenever he got the chance. Jenny Wren hustled about asking all sorts of questions and never waiting for an answer to one Of them. Winsome Bluebird was there. So were Goldie the Oriole, Tiny the Warbler, Drummer the Woodpecker, Bob White, Redwing the Blackbird and ever so many more, each trying to do some thing to make Peter forget that he was sick.
 By and by Blacky the Crow, who was sitting in the top of little tree where he could see over the Green Meadows, began to cry excitedly: See who's coming! See who's coming; Cav, cav, cav, see who's coming!" Of course Peter couldn't see, so Sammy Jay said that he woulds be eyes for Peter and flew up where he could see.
 Tt is Jimmy Skunk he called down to Peter. And behind Jimmy is Johnny Chuck, and behind Johnny Chuck 10 Danny Meadow Mouse, and behind Danny is Happy Jack Squirrel. and be- hind Happy Jack is Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and last of all is Striped Chip munk. As sure as I live believe every one of them is bringing you some thing"
 And there are some other folks com. ing from the Smiling Pool ]" cried Blacky the Crow. tv
 Sammy Jay looked in that direction. Its true !''he cried. T can see Little Joe Otter and Billy Mink and Jerry Muskrat, and they are bringing some thing too. It's regular surprise par ty, isn't it Peter?"
 When those two funny processions arrived at the edge of the dear Old Brier Patch Danny Meadow Mouse, and Happy Jack and Chatterer and Striped Chipmunk and Billy Mink ran in along one of Peter's private little paths to see Peter and tell him how sorry they were that he was sick and how they hoped he would soon be we'll, and how they had each brought him something. The others stayed outside the Brier

 was returning to my home happier than ever I remembered being, yet that happiness was tinged with sadness be- cause it had been necessary to go to such lengths before 1 could take my rightful place in it.
 Manville, too, was very quiet and when I surreptitiously stole look at him there was sadness in his face also. But I pulled myself together. In the weeks 1 had been at the little country hotel 1 had taken myself to task for many things. 1 had not the slightest intention of telling Manville anyting about these self7communings, but l had determined to be not only better wife, but a more entertaining one. had a good education, was naturally as bright as most women, yet 1 had not appeared as if I knew anything or had one particle of wit. It would be hard to assert myself with the same people among whom l had been so backward, but l was going to do it. So now 1 be- gan to talk and told Manville of our rides, of the days when we lunched at different farm houses and of the time 1 tried to milk a COW. He laughed heartily at my description and I was delighted to see the look of sadness disappear and no boredom take it's place.
 It was dark when we arrived at New town. Manville called a taxi and we were soon at home. 1 was all curiosity to see the dressing room and the fin ished improvements to Anna's quarters. But cook had dinner all on the table, so besides just peep 1 had to wait un- til we had eaten. Cook seemed de- lighted to see me back and said the house was that lonesome without you and Miss Anna"
 Nancy was back As soon as we had finished she took Anna, who had been allowed to dine with us because she begged so hard, although I believed with Manville that a child so young should dine early and simply and in tended to respect his wishes in this. But as soon as she had left us, said
 Come, Manville, I am eaten up with curiosity l do so want to see my room." We went upstairs together, he leading the way When he switched on all the lights the room was in a rosy glow. The rose-colored room of my girlhood dreams had come true. 1 could hardly believe it. How did you do it-and how did you know?" I said to my husband as he stood be- side me.
 You Lave forgotten that letter you left. You said you had always wanted

rights and schedule Alice should have been digging away at the second floor. Instead of that she sat still and began digging around in her own upper story. Alice was no idiot-she had only been acting like one and no one had the nerve to tel her so. She looked out of the window and through the shiny glass of a sedan she saw a bright or ange sweater and hat to match. The car stopped at her front door. Her bell rang and Alice went with her mouth straight as the shortest line between two points.
 I'm Mrs. Atwood" said the lady in the orange sweater, land l told your husband I just must call and get to dearest man and I've so enjoyed play ing around with him."
 Alice gulped a couple of times and asked her in. Then she gave her the once over.
 T had no idea" said Alice, that you were so young"
 Young! I'm 45 and proud of it. 1 have a son 20 and a daughter 1S."
 I'm only 3S," gasped Alice. How do you do it:"
 Beauty treatments!" laughed the giddy lady. T take them every day
 But how do you get the time? And aren't they awfully cxpensive?"
 "TimeT', sez she. My beauty. treat ments save me time and they don't cost near as much as hospital bills if I'd wear myself out. Besides, they help keep my family together"
 Alice looked at her the way anybody looks after trying to fit a Chinese pug gle together. She knew it must be sim pie if she just knew the system.
 Our car," explained the lady, lis all the beauty treatment I need. It gets me and all the family outdoors without tiring us to death so that we are ready to bite each others head off. It keeps get out amongst 'em and have a good house because can buy wherever things are cheapest and best. And it has cured my family of the wanderlust Now we all wander together. We picnic all summer and it makes my work so much lighter over the hot weather You've no idea"
 I'm beginning to get one" laughed Alice. But how does a car keep a family together? I thought only love could do that"
 Tt helps me to be alive and young enough so that I can be real compan- ion to the youngsters. 1t gives us a wonderful chAnce to entertain our friends and include them in our out ings, it gives us all one more thing to be proud of together and it makes it necessary for the children to dig in and help around the house so that can get away to publications with them. Great est little family reunioner I know"
 Alice leaped from her chair like food shot from guns You wait until I do my hair and get into a decent dress I'm going in for little beauty treat ment myself. I've been wondering what good my bank account was ever going to be to me and now 1 know"
 Moral-Yeast isn't the only thing that will raise spirits.

He thanked those who could get in to see him and sent his thanks to those who couldn't And then he had happy idea. He explain ed that he. couldn't eat anything just then because he was sick and pro- posed that those who had brought things have a party and eat all the goodies for him. And So they did.
