 My signal to Lillian to give a negative answer to any proposal or Philip Veritsen's was just in time, for hardly had the laughter left ms lips 1t her quip concerning the tenth wave" than he preached the subject of our lunching with him.

Peter Rabbit couldn't Keep away from the Smiling Pool Ever since he had seen Dipper the Grebe there. he had taken every opportunity to 60 visit the Smiling Pool For sew eral visits he was disappointed. He saw nothing of Dipper. Grandfather Frog wasn't in the best of spirits and refused to tell Peter whether or not Dipper had been there.
 Its none of my business and it's none of your business, Peter Rab- bit" said Grandfather Frog gruffly You are altogether too, fond of poking that wabbly little nose of yours into other peoples business.
 Il am not poking it into any body's bushes ;" declared Peter. 'I certainly am doing no one any harm by coming over to visit Dippcr the Grebe."
 Grandfather Frog chuckled. Your vixiting doesn't seem to be much of | scccess," said he.
 But there came a day when Peter did not call at the Smiling Pool in vain. Hardly had he peeked over tho bank when he discovered Dip per swimming near the upper side of the Smiling Pool. This was where the Laughing Brook entered the Smiling Pool. The alders grow there and 1t is somewhat swampy. It is hack there among these alders that Longbil the Woodcock and Mrs. Woodcock like to make their home, If Dipper saw Peter. he made no sign. So Peter sat down on the bank in plain sight and waited patiently. Peter Rabbit is an excellent sitter, When he has nothing else to do he sits. and if happens that he has spe- cial ability in finding nothing else to do. Some people are that way.
 At last his patience was rev ard ed. Dipper came swimming over 10 that side of the Smiling Pool
 Good morning" said Peter.
 Good morning. Peter.' replied Dipper. Tt is nice spring morn- ing, isn't it?''
 It certainly is,'' replied Peter Are you going to stay for the sum mer?"
 Perhaps so perhaps not" re. piled Dipped. T really haven't any thing to say about it
 Peter pricked mp his long ears Why not? ?" he demanded.
 Is there a Mrs. Peter?" inquired Peter.
 Certainly. Of course there is replied Peter.
 ''Then how could you ask tha. question:" replied Dipper
 Peter grinned foolishly. T sup. pose" said he. that that means there is Mrs. Grebe.'
 Dipper nodded. There is sait he. ''1f there were not I wouldnt be wasting my time here
 ''rhen that means that :lrs. Dip. per is here too." cried Peter eag. erIy.
 ''Of course" replied Dipper. "Yol wouldn't expect me 10 be here alons at this time of year. would you?"
 But where is she?" cried Peter eagerly.

f,nicky about tho name they gavs to this disorder.
 It is rather difficult to ind out just when the understanding arose that had breath could be bene- fitted by drinking milk or eating parsley. Milk is . white huid assO- ciated invariably with purity anl, no doubt. was taken with the idea that its whiteness would counteract the evil of bad breath. Parsley is a bitter substance associated with the idea of cleansing and the purity of herbs and it also was conceived to have special virtues in attacking . bad breath. Not tnfreQuently bad breath is due to poor digestion. In such cases eating anything or drinking anything will cause the material in the stomach to pass on and in that way temporarily relieve the condition.
 There are other methods of masking bad breath: for example, the eating of cloves to remove the odor of liquor. a method popular for many years. This may be com pared to the sprinkling Of perfume over garbage, or the placing of re- ceptacles containing pine tar m public comfort stations. a. Halitosis or bad breath is not disease with a single cause. but a symptom resulting from many pos sible causes. Infected teeth. tonsils filled with infectious matter or even with decaying particles of food. in- factions in the. nose with crusting, and particularly in the spaces be- hind the nose are prominent causes of this symptom. When the cause is discovered. the symptom may be relieved by removal of the cause. Gargles are sometimes effective in washing the mouth and throat. Infected tonsils should be re- moved. The nose and throat may be washed with simple solutions, such as teaspoonful of common salt in glass of warm water. A careful inspection by a physician and an occasional washing with antiseptic solutions may help to clear up such conditions perma- nently.
 There are certain occasions. how

 Mr. Veritzen turned to me with | slight shrug of his shoulders.
 That is your verdict. too:" he queried.
 II am afraid it it," returned demurely. But we are terribly disappointed, aren't we. Lillian?" Her reply was as prompt and ap- parently as spontaneous as if she had not just sent me secret signal to spread the salve," one of her frequent injunctions when we were dealing with vain and easily of tended person.
 "Desolated," she said, and walk ing over to my stately employer. she grasped him by the lapels of his coat and shook him slightly.
 Don't you dare be grouchy about this" she admonished. You know we'll enough that your luncheon parties are not to be. sneezed at and both MadEe and I would give fin- ger joint or two to be present at one of them. And if you don't ask us some other time when we can go, personally shall see that you are subjected to the most ingenious tor lures I can order for you. But to- day it is impossible. So kiss ns sweetly goodbye. little boy. as- sume Madge has told you all you wish to know about the situation at the farmhouse-and come to see us. say day after tomorrow at the hotel"
 Another Invitation
 ''lf it weren't for Otto" Mir. Ner- itzen said mischievously. but using the same low tone Lillian had em- ployed. T should take you up on that goodbye proposition. But I shall keep your permission in mind"
 That's splendid place to keep it." Lillian assured him. Just see that it stays there. And now we've got to get back to the farmhouse Shall we see you day after tomorrow at the hotel?'
 "Of course. At what hour?'
 How about coming to dinner. eh Madge?"
 That would be very pleasing to all of us," I said. trying to keep my voice from perfunctoriness. but feel ing that was being mendacious in- deed. And when we had taken leave of Mir Veritzen and were speeding back toward the farmhouse my brain was still whirling with the question: How would Dicky react to Phillip Veritzen's presence as a din- ner guest?

Talks 'pf& &4 pat'el,1s!
TOO MUCH TALK By Alice Judson Peale


 Mothers often complain that their children do not listen to what is said to them, that they turn deaf ear both to commands and explanations.
 Yet a normal childis not usually inattentive. He naturally pays very close attention to what is going on around him and tries very hard to understand. Babes are especially sensitive to sounds of all sorts. If two and three year olds often are distreasingly inattentive to their mothers voices it is an inattentive- ness which has been acquired.
 Those who deal with children feel that much of what parents complain of as inattentiveness is an acquired art of self defense against the inces- sant. flow of adult demands and adult conversation. Some children surely would drown in . steady
