Peter Rabbit Gets Into Mischief Busy hands and busy feet,
 Having useful things to do, Mischief seldom leads astray- Here's a Tttle hint for you.

ts-
 THE trouble with Peter Rabbit is
 that he isn't worker. He is
 happy--go-lucky, goot-natured but lazy. Much as we love him, we have to admit that Peter is lazy when it comes to a matter of work. He will spend no end of time and effort trying to satisfy his curiosity, but when it comes to a matter of useful work somehow Peter always is dreadfully tired. In fact, about the only work Peter ever does is to cut little paths through bramble-tangles for his com fort and safety.
 Peter never could and never will un- derstand why most of his feathered neighbors build new homes every spring. It seems to him terrible waste of time. He cannot understand why they do not patch up their old homes. That is what he would do I mean that if he was bird he would each year patch up his old home if il was so fallen to pieces that he just couldn't live in it without doing SO and be quite contented. If it were pos. sible to live in it without patching ii he wouldn't take even that much bother. You see Peter has no pride in appearance. That is what is the trou. ble with Peter. He doesn't care how he

working women have a song which is true in every country:
 As we come marching, marching, we
 bring the greater days: The raising of the women means the
 raising of the race.
 ''The present state of the franchise is grossly unjust. About 100000 wom- en between 21 and 30-70 per cent of them wage-earners-a unenfranch- ised because of their age, and between another one and one-quarter and one and one-half millions because of resi- dential disqualification. We want to sweep away all these inequalities.
 Although she has a small private in- come, Miss Jewsons purse is frequent ly empty. Many a time she has walked home from a meeting because she had given her money to Someone who needed it more than herself. She even gives her clothes away.
 Her friends wondered what she would wear when she took her seat in Parliament. They helped her to retrim her hat, because she had given most of her others way. But even then she did not wear it.

 "Myi Yes;" the hobby horse re- piled. T looked back and could see them rolling over and over in the ditch! Then they limped to the cen ter of the path and shook their fists at us, just as if we were to blame ]"
 How much nicer it really is, being kind and considerate to others!" Rag gedy Ann said. Now take the two old witches for instance. They have been bothering us for a long, long time and trying to take our house on wheels and our magic books and the hobby horse away from us. Now all they get for their efforts is one piece of trouble

 LONDON, June 22.-Americans who were guests at one of the biggest and swaggerest of London's hotels some years ago often had a friendly word to spare for certain housemaid. To them she may or may not have ap- peared just the ordinary type of Lon don slavey. Some of the more obser- want of them may have sized her up as superior to her drudgery, but probably not even the most sympathetic (and the housemaid of those days declares that it was only from American visitors that she ever got a kindly word), gained the slightest inkling of the truth about her.
 They never suspected that in this housemaid they saw one of the most ardent and intellectual women reform CTS in Great Britain-a lady by birth and upbringing, who had taken a sit uation in this hotel to obtain first hand knowledge of the life of the girls she was seeking to organize. They could not foresee that today this woman, Miss Dorothy Jewson, would be a member of Parliament, high in the councils of the labor party and a possible cabinet minister of the future. For at the last general election she romped in at the head of the poll for the city of Nor wich, receiving some thousands more votes than any other woman candidate throughout Great Britain, Lady Astor coming second. Her victory was a sur prise.
 Born 40 years ago, in the shelter and amplitude of stable English middle class home-she has private income Dorothy JewsOn belongs to a family that has given the ancient city of Nor wich aldermen and lord mayors.
 Graduate In The Classics
 She had a classical education but when the war broke out and unem- ployment became rife among the women workers of Norwich, she trained local girls to make toys and ran a factory with marked success.
 Two years later she started organiz- ing ill-paid women in trade unions. She rapidly developed as a public speaker and excels at heckling time.
 On the day when she took her seat in the House of Commons, Miss Jew son rose early in the morning in her little flat near St. Pancras, one of | fifty in block of tenements, and in- sisted on doing her share of the house. work.
 ''I believe that everyone should work for living" she says. T have tried to act on that belief. Every boy and girl should have the same opportuni- ties had.
 ''To obtain first-hand knowledge of the life of the girls I was seeking to organize, took a situation in a large London hotel. For four weeks I lived as a housemaid.
 Some members of the National Union of General Workers had given bad reports of the conditions. The ho- tel in which I worked was fitted up with every luxury: telephones, pile carpets, marble pillars. The staff quar- ters, however, were miserable, filthy places.
 ''As a housemaid I was the lowest in the scale of the female staff. The servants ate their meals in one of the basements which had no window and in which the washing-up was done at an open sink. Once I put an apple ma paper bag on the floor of my bed

You can't imagine how comfortable it was in the magical house on wheels.
 There were nice cozy rocking chairs and tables and cleo tric lights and three cunning little white beds ; one for Ragged, Ann, one for Raggedy Andy and one for tho magical hobby horse.
 Then there was a white ice box which Raggedy Ann had wished for with her magic books, and whenever she wanted ice cream, or ices or anything nice and cold to eat, anyone could go to the ice box and get it.
 And that is how the Raggedys and the hob by horse happened to be eating the lovely orange ice out on the front porch while the house on wheels rolled along through the deep, deep woods.
