bit was still in the dear Old Briar-
patch, so Sammy said nothing OF what
he had heard.
But the next day when some one
told Sammy that they had seen Peter
Rabbit early that morning up in the
Old Pasture Sammy remembered the
quarrel. He remembered how sharply
little Mrs. Peter had talked. Isn't 1t
too bad?" said Sammy.
Isn't what too bad?" asked Tommy
Tit the Chickadee. who was the one
who had seen Peter in the Old
Pasture.
THAT Peter should have been driven
away up to the Old Pasture" said
Sammy.
who says he was driven away up
to the Old Pasture?" demanded
Tommy Tit. "He has been up to the
Old Pasture lots of times and he
wasn't driven there, either"
well, Of course, he may not have
been driven up to the Old Pasture,
but he went there because he was
driven out of the dear Old Briar-
patch," said Sammy.
NONSENSE retorted Tommy Tit.
"Who drove him out Of the dear Old
Briar-patch?"
Little Mrs. Peter" replied Sammy.
"She told him he could go and he need
never come back"
II don't believe It," said Tommy.
"Who told you any such story as
that?"
Nobody" retorted Sammy Jay. II
happened to be over in the Old Briar-
patch and heard just what little Mrs.
Peter said. She said it as if she meant
it, too. It's great pity, isn't it?"
Sammy tried to make his voice sound
as if he really felt very bad over it.
II wouldn't advise you to tell that
story around much," replied Tommy
Tit. II know Peter and I know. little
Mrs. Peter, and I know that If she
told Peter that he needn't come back
there is something more behind 1t all.
My guess is that Peter went of his
own accord. He went because he
wanted to go. I'm going over to see
little Mrs. Peter and find out about
it."
So Tommy Tit headed straight for

edge of the ticking on the mattress.
Have the seam come on the right side,
if the mattress Is bound. Use strong
thread and a needle that takes 1t
easily. Use two or three running
stitches and then back stitch down
the entire seam. Sew the piece in this
same way at the side ends. Turn the
mattress and seam as at first. Push
the hair into the mattress as the scam
ing progresses. Fill in with hair from
the cutoff mattress portion if thin
spot comes, and also remove hair that
would make the edge too thick when
there is too much hair along the edge.
Bind the seams to match the other
edges, and the smaller mattress is
completed. If the rest of the mattress
fits any cot for which it would be
needed, finish it in the same way.

If a large mattress is too long for

lengths of old bedsteads often are less

the mattress has been cut down to the
right size. Then no new ticking will
be required, for this end can be put

difficulty. It is not necessary to do
over the mattress, provided it is in
good condition. If the mattress that is
to be made over is very large, and the
single bed for which it is intended
hfterward is narrow. she may be able
to get a second mattress from what
remains after the first one is finished.
But it will have to be for cotsized

tresses from one unless one OF the

ond mattress is made into thin one.
When cutting down the mattress,
first measure the width of the narrow
bed With n soft lead pencil draw a
line across the mattress from head to
foot indicating the width reqired. Or
basting thread can be run down one
of the lines of the ticking. instead of
using the pencil, to indicate the width
AS there is uniform length for
modern beds, the mattress will only
have to be made narrower.
How to Cut Ticking.
Allow for a "a or u inch seam, and
with a sharp knife slit the ticking
from top to bottom. After the first in
cision with the knife a sharp pair of
shears can be used for the cutting. if
preferred. Continue to cut down the
sides and across the other side of the
mattress ticking.
The next step is to separate the
hair as evenly as possible. doing it
about one inch beyond the cut portion
of the ticking. This allows the hair
to be pressed back into the mattress
as the side is sewed on again. Unless
this is done the edge of the mattress
may not be as full as the rest of it.,
for hair mats together, and in separat-
Ing it the hairs will pull apart un.
