greatest surprise. He Hooked at Peter in very sharp way which he has to make sure that Peter meant what he said, and he saw that Peter was very much in earnest. But like everybody else on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest, Sammy had supposed all winter that Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse were dead, and 1t was very hard for him to believe just on Peter's word that they were not. ~sg
 Peter saw the look and understood 1t. He chuckled. sYou don't believe it, do you, Sammy? ?, said he. q don't blame you. Just fly along up this fence-row and if your eyes are as sharp as I think they are you will see Danny himself. They spent the winter in Farmer Browns barn, and that is the reason we haven't seen them or known what had become of them. They were on their way to their old home on the Green Meadows when Redtail the Hawk tried to catch them, and they became separated. Now Danny won't go home without Nanny. He says it wouldn't be home without her and he can't bear to even see it. So I'm try ing to find Nanny for him. You know I'm very fond of Danny"
 "So is Reddy Fox.'"' smiled Sammy" Still, for Danny's sake, I wouldn't ad- wise you to tell Reddy that Danny has come back.'
 Peter grinned. "No danger" said he. But this isn't finding Nanny. Are

 A Chinese blue and lacquer red, these are the colors that are most in evidence in the fashions of spring either alone or in combination with dark tones. \ Rarely has there been season when red held such q conspicuous position or when it vas employed with such telling effect.
 A facing of red on, a hat, or wee cocarde of pleated ribbon in which red predominates, the glimpse of red in the lining of a coat, q gay scarf of red and white stripes, or frock of chiffron in a striking shade of vermillion all em. phasize the fact that red is this season decidedly favorite of fashion. One of the most interesting ways of employing brilliant tone such as red is in the lining of coat. Frequently the outside material is cut out in a manner resembling eyelet work and in the opening one, sees a splash of color. The effect is strikingly attractive as one may see from the model illustrated.
 The ideal costume for many pur- poses, consists of frock of crepe which has white background printed in red figures. A clever arrangement of ruffles adds to its interest.
 Over this is worn coat of navy blue charmeen cait out to show the. lining |of red crepe de chine. Pipings of the crepe accent the flaps on each side. Al though in it's original phase the coat was an integral part of the costume it has the great, advantage of being appro. priate for wear with other dresses, or. as Is the fashion of the moment over tlre boyish tailleur. r

There is a way to winter teeth The evidence is everywhere, for millions now employ it.
 Those whiter teeth mean more than beauty. They mean new cleanliness, new safety. They mean results which everyone should seek.
 Let this test reveal them. They mean much to you end yours.
 Finn clouds teeth and
 wreeks them
 Film Is the great tooth eneny-- that viseous finn you feel Dinsy teeth and most tooth troubles are results of film.
 Under old-way brushing, much finn elings and stays. Soon 1t be- comes discoiored. forming cloudy coats. making teeth unsightly.
 Film also holds food substance which ierments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in 1t. They, with tar- tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Such troubles are almost naiver- sal among people who don't fight film.

We've kept our best manners for company occasions or not used them at all, like my rose design linen set here. So they ought to be pretty fresh and stand considerable wear.

 Aye, aye!" cried the other 60-year- olds, and by the time they were 61 they felt better and looked younger than they had at 50, and all because they were living more and deeper and sweeter lives and helping others to do the same. Life is and forever must be an eternal pouring out of richness.

And let the golden vastness' of the future take care of itself" The two set about the festive preparations, and after the vari- ous cakes and things were made to harmonize with the rose design linens, they dressed themselves in white and Rose even went so far as to put huge bow of pink ribbon in Aunt Marietta's $ white hair, belt about her waist, some pink rose beads about her neck.

Everyone Needs Sympathy
 At Times
By Sophie Loeb

When analyzed there is nothing 90 vi tal the average human as sympathy at the time when he needs it most. Many a suicide would be averted, many a catastrophe avoided and many a trouble les&ened if the person involved had the right sympathy at the right time.
 Nothing in the world so buoys ur 5 your spirit as when friend comes to you, realizing your hurts, says T am with you" and trys to show you the best way out.
 Deliver me from one who comes to me when I am in trouble and chirps
 Cheer up;r smiles at me and goes away, leaving me with my misery. Oi all the words would rather not hear
 when l am in trouble, I list these two, z "cheer up.p
 { They are meaningless words aud make me even more miserable because I cant cheer up that way. Such mere words told you by the best friend in the world can't change your feelings.
 The way to cheer up is to get into the right frame of mind, and to get into the right frame of mind you must ret the spirit of hope in your heart and to get the spirit of hope in your heart you need the sympathy that re. assures-the clasp of d hand, the kind- ness that has real heart-interest in it and the comradeship that means to stand by you.
 These are the things that stiffen your backbone and make it possible for you to be of good cheer. M s.
 Soothing indeed is lie, who comes to talk to me, to take me out somewhere, to show me something and direct my thoughts into happier channels; to work my trials out with me and let me talk out my heart to him or her; to have somebody listen and give me the word that need that he believes in me and that he knows what am going through and is right there with me all the time.
 That IS sympathy that is, more valu- able than radium, for, strange to say, people run away when you have some. thing to bear. They don't like to be part of pain. And most of the time you weep alone. That is what causes most of the wrinkles and the gray hair in the world--lack of sympathy.
 wonder how many people realize the great wrong they do their friends Tn withholding sympathy at a time when 1t is most necessary. It is usually tne proud strong person who needs that sympathy most because he does not ask It. The weak one will, but he or she bears until their hearts nearly break for the want of some sympathetic soul.
 Most Of the time it is those who achieve much who are the most lone some ones because sympathy and understanding are not given them. It IS more worth while indeed to give Eoiace to such one who has something to give to the world, than many others whose trials can be readily overcome.
 And 1t cost so little after all-- sympathy. We need more of it in the world-less hardness, eIess disinterest. There is nothing so encouraging, noth- ing that gives you so much hope and makes you look out into the world and say it isn't so bad after all."

 What under the sun are you hunt ing for now, Peter?'' he demanded.
 Nanny Meadow Mouse!" exclaimed sammy. T guess you will have one good long hunt, Peter. Didn't you know that she and Danny disappeared at the very beginning of the winter and haven't been seen sincew
 "Oh, yes, they have" retorted Pe- ter, with a provoking grin. At least, Danny has, for I talked with him only a few minutes ago. Now I'm trying to help him find Nanny. He lost her yes terday, or she lost him, I don't know which. You've got as sharp eyes as I know of, Sammy, so why don't you try to be a good fellow and help look for Nanny.

 She nodded to her guest and hurried from the room. She would give him an opportunity for parting word with her sister.
