BEDTIME STORIES 2! s assssgo'

Of 1t. He had the feeling that Old Mr..
Toad was very near. Two or three
| times he stopped eating to look
around, half expecting to see Old Mr..
Toad sitting close at hand. But he
didn't.
The very next evening Peter Rabbi,
was back IN Farmer Browns garden.
He was after more cabbage The
cabbages had been gathered by
| Farmer Browns Boy, but the stalks
still stood there in rows, with the
big outer leaves ciinging to them
Peter didn't think Of Old Mr.. Toad
until he happened to stop by the same
cabbage stalk he had sat by the night
before. Then again he had that queer
| feeling that Old Mr.. Toad was very
| near him. He even peeped under all
| the old cabbage leaves. He didn't
| find Old Mr.. Toad.
Peter scratched a long ear with a
long hind foot. He was puzzled. He
couldn't imagine why he should have
| that feeling that Old Mr.. Toad was
| near. yet not be able to find him. II
don't see why l have that feeling"
said he, talking to himself. I've
hunted this garden all over. and Old
| Mr. Toad isn't in it. I haven't the
| least idea where he is. but he GER
tainly isn't in this garden"
Peter was wrong. Old Mr.. Toad
was IN tnat garden. Not only was he
in that garden, but he was very near
| to Peter, and that Is why Peter had
| that queer feeling. The truth is Peter
| was sitting right over Old Mr.. Toad.
Old Mr.. Toad had gone to bed for the
Winter. He had dug down into the
ground close to that very cabbage
| stalk. He had dug with his hind
feet, as is his funny way. He had
backed into the hole as he dug il
and the earth had fallen in over him
and covered him up. He had dug
down and down and down until he
had felt sure that he was deep enough
to be beyond the danger OF freezing
when Jack Frost should come and
freeze the earth. Then he had gone
to sleep.
So all the time that Peter was sit
ting there he was sitting right above
old Mr.. Toad and didn't know it.
That Is how 1t happened that he
had that queer feeling.

Plush, the PIutocrat.

Just what's the difference, you may
wonder, as you select velvet for a
gown at the yard goods" counter or
shop among the ready-to-wears for
a plush coat-.just what's the exact
difference between plush and velvet?
Now, although the only distinction
between the two fabrics lies in the
length Of the pile, there is q quite
definite point at which the textile
ceases to be velvet and becomes the
plutocratic plush. That is when the
pile is more than one-eighth Of an
inch long. You can even buy plush
with pile a half inch long. Such ex-
tremely long piled pushes are classed
as limitation furs" or fur fabrics"
and they are an excellent choice for
the Winter coat.
This all-important pile Of plush
may be silk, worsted or mohair. The
mohair pile Is most durable, least
likely to wear shabby of all. Silk Is
the most lustrous and lends itself
well to graceful folds and drapery.
Silk 10 used in "sealskfn plush.
which 10, - its name implies. an imi-
tation Of sealskin. Wool and cotton,
too. ere often used in the imitation
fur fabrics.
The plush foundation, like that Of
