Of one thing Peter Rabbit was certain, and that was that the sooner he got away from that bram- blc tauglc the better He knew now that Reddy Fox knew where he was and he suspe ted that Reddy Fox also knew hat he had been hurt, So he felt sure that Reddy would re- turn. in the hop" Of catching him outside that bramble tauLlr. Hardly were Eeddy auaI Mrs Raddy ont Of sight on their way home when Pc ter loft hIs hiding place and made his way 10 another brambIn 'ang'" There he rested a while. then once more moved on.

 Over and over in my mind. as | sent my car along the road 10 Southampton at the lnodcfate pac" my father had enjoncd, mulied the norplcXinG question of the tele- gram | meant 10 send 10 Marion. Iu- deed, it was not until I reached the very door of tho telegraph offlca that | decided upon the wording Of the message. II must not >'ar'lc tho girl, 1t must not bctray anything Of its real meaning to tho cyos of the school authorities. yet Y must hc imperative enough 10 gain tn" per- mission I deSreI from LiIlian's winsome young daughter.

 "Win you please have the answer to this telephoned out 10 me as soon as it comes in?' l asked as I paid for the telegram and gave the at tendant the telephone numbcr Of the farm.
 Yes. I will have it phoned im- mediately." he replied, and l went out Of the office mcntalls Hisualiz- ing the progress Of that message over miles Of humming wires until it reached the almost cloistcrcd cor riders of Whitney Hall
 l knew that. by agreement with the parents of the girls attending the school. all tclegrams were open ed before they were delivered 10 the pupils, this as much to enable the head mistress to soften any message Of sudden disaster, as 10 aid her in keeping track Of the people telc- graphing her charges. If Mrs. Barnes were herself in the office, there would be no delay in giving the telegram 10 Marion. even if the girl were m class. But an assistant probably would observe the strict letter Of the law that no girl must be called from q class unless for the gravcst emergency.

 There was no use Of worrying over ii, I reminded myself. for all ready had completed every detail Of the task that 1 could attend to, and with this sensible determination, went back 10 Tho Larchcs, timing myself so that I did not arrive be-

SHE'S A RADIO ARTIST! !

Hackensack, \. J., Nov. 1l-Prob- ably the seven league boots of child hood memory were at the bottom of it, although whether or not that was the case. certain it is that q pair Of juvenile shoes marched a little Nir- ginia girl to prominence in the world Of art.
 Lena Randolph Brooke, of Nor folk was the girl. And from the "omcnt she picked the shoes "ltiCh she designated as her Cape Cod boots" her intention of join ing the Massachusetts artists col onY took concrete form.
 Little Lena has always shctched things, with chalk. with pencil and pen, even drawing pictures in inc mud with a stick. During hct teens in high school she began to paint When her older sister Was like oil portrait Of Hostile" the family mongrol pct, that all th" relatives exclaimed.
 Ambition 10 Paint
 The family was poor B-it thai very summer when Lena was given some spending money hy an aunt, she came home with pail of low-heeled, light tan buckskiu sport shoes, which, she defiantIH told her family. would take her to Cape Cod to paint.
 She lacked palette, paints, brushes and transportation. She al her relatives into small Contribu- all her relative sinto small Contribu- tions and landed. slim little figure with hcr light hair braided tightly into pigtails and tied with ribbons. She not only arrived physically speaking. but got into the Charles Hawthorne colony
 One season there and on route home the famous Corcoran Gal leries, Washington. hung one of her oils. She got 6 bronze medal from that gallery later and stud- jed there under such distinguished artists as Cecolia BoauX. From there she took special work at the Phila- delphia Academy and the Summer School at Chester Springs.
 When the war came Lena Brooke laid down her brushes 10 learn wireless to "reloasc q man" and qualified as a first grade com mercial operator
 She still found some spare time from her work 10 paint After the war. many galleries hung her pie lures. including the Philadelphia Academy, the Chicago Art Institute, Norfolk. St, Petersburg.
 After the Armistice shn vas married and moved here. But household duties and the arrival during the next few years of two sons and q daughter never made her stop her work again. When the ba- hics were young, she could only squeeze in q few years of "rcst.' as she called her painting. As they got older she got hack on her eight hour day schedule.
 Is Distinctive Artist
 Tn tho past few years six Now York stores, six Chicago stores and other stores in smaller places have held exhibitions of her paint ings. This autumn Nowarhs most important department store has a display of 4S of her miniature moderns." She has painted streets. people. houses, bridges, churches, cemeteries, animals, fishing boats, street urchins, celebrated spots, lovely unknown vistas. All have an inimitable modern touch and a coloring that seems to be her se- cret. All are signed now by her married name, Mrs. Brooke McNa mara.
 One sees her in the garden in warm weather, in the house on cold days. Painting from the time the children leave for school
