 Peter Rabbit was just starting for home at daybrcak. He knew he ought to be in the dear Old Briar- patch. He knew that if he didnt get home soon, little Mrs. Peter would begin to worry. He reached the edge of the Green Forest whera it joins the Green Meadows and sat up 10 look this way and that way to make sure that the way was clear 10 the dear Old Briar-patch. Then. just as he was going 10 take the first hop in that direction. there sounded far back of him a sharp rat-a- -tat-tat, Peter didn't take that first hop toward home. Instead, he abruptly sat up and listened.
 q should like to know who that stranger drummer i.'," muttered po- ter. T certainly should like 10 know who it is that can drum like that. l wonder if I could find him if I went back to look for him."
 Just then Sammy Jay spied Peter and stopped in a tree over Peters head. Isn't it time you were home. Peter?" inquired sammy.
 "I suppose it is" replied Peter. T was just getting ready to start"
 Well, why didn't you start?" de- manded Sammy
 Do you hear that drumming. Sammy Jay?" demanded Peter.
 DO you think there is anything wrong with my ears?" asked Sam my. There would have to be something very wrong with them ii l didn't hear that drumming"
 'Who is doing it?" Peter asked.
 "A first class drummer I shoull say replied Sammy, who dearly loves to tease.
 He is a first class drummer Ill right" replied Peter, but who IS he?"
 How should I know" asked Sammy.
 "I believe you do know" replied Peter, "I believe you do know Sammy Jay, and you're just trying to tease me"
 Do you know what I would do if I were in your place?" asked Sammy.
 What" demanded Peter.
 "1 would go find out for myself who that drummer is." replied Sam my. "So long, Peter, I have an engagement over in the Old Orch ard"
 Sammy took to his wings anI soon Peter heard him crying Thief, thief, thief" over in the Oll Orchard.
 Peter sat while where Sammy had left him. He looked over to- ward the Old Briar- patch, He lis | tened to that drumming. q believe | Sammy is right" said Peter to him self at last. There is nothing like | getting things at first hand I be- lieve I will go look for that drum mer. It ought not to be difficult to find him. All that I need is 10 fol- low the sound of that drumming"

Princess Olina's Unusual, Early
 Morning Request for the Newspa-
 pers Arouses Madge to Curiosity
 and Action!
 Princess Olina's appearance at so early an hour at the door of the apartment would alone have arrest ed my attention, for she is not an early riser. But when, in addition, l overheard her queer colloquy with the night bellboy l knew that must take cognizance of the incident, even though it laid me open to the accusation of unmannerly meddling
 Perhaps I can help" I said in my most matter of-fact tones as l heard her tell the boy he must get something she wanted, and that she did not care what it cost, for she wanted it at once.
 Tom, the boy-or rather man who at night combines the functions of telephone operator, bellboy and elevator man at the hotel, turned q relieved face to me. He is not as resourceful as Purnell, the highly eff ficient and amusing colored "boy' who had helped me so signally upon the night of my announcement din- her. but he is honest and most obiging, though a trifle stolid. He plainly was most distressed at being obliged to refuse a request from guest.
 "You see, Mis- Graham, it's like this" he explained. When Mister l could get off any time to do an errand for a guest. He'd do my work for me. But this new man is ter ribly cranky with me, and especially this last week or two. He wants me on the job every minute"
 I could have told him why the clerk wanted him on the job every minute. It was because he himself wished to be free to aid Mr. Under- wood and the detective, who l knew was now on duty every night, when the expected attempt upon Prince Georges should be made. But, of course, this was outside Toms ken.
 This must be a distinctly second- class hotel" Princess Olina said witherinsly, her nose in the air, when one cannot send out for so simple a thing as a newspaper at | any hour during the night"
 That depends upon what one means by first class, my dear,' l | told her, purposely making my | voice a bit patronizing. This is not ! a fashionable hotel, but an old fash toned residential house, many of | whose patrons have lived here for years. It is distinctly first class of it's kind, but you cannot expect the unlimited service of the very eXpen- slve houses"
 Olina's Anxiety
 l turned to Tom, plainly uneasy to return to his elevator.
 How long before a boy who can go will be here?" l asked.
 T can go myself, ma'am, just as

Our MOst-Used Food Should

Nourishing

Did you know that the average
person eats 1875 loaves of bread
a year? Hearty, hungry men and
active youngsters eat even more!
No wonder modern housewives
are giving very careful attention
to what bread they buy. Careful
housewives who want to give the
very best bread to those depend
ent on them for food that will
keep them happy and we'll usual
ly choose Rice's. 1t has that ap-
petizing homemade" flavor that
makes everyone want just one
more slice. You can SAVIOR its
goodness the moment you push
back the wrapper from the fra
grant, golden loaf.
And Rice's Bread is more than
just "food that tastes good" 1t

Save Time All Day
with Rice's Slices

No more grumbling or delays
at breakfast because somebody
sliced the bread crooked and it
won't toast properly. You can do
as thousands of housewives are
doing-buy your bread in the
ready-cut loaf. "Rice's Slices"
The loaf is cut by machinery into
slices of exactly the same thick
ness. A cardboard tray holds the
slices snuglys together in loaf
form. When you have slipped out
a slice, just tuck the waxed wrap
per around the tray again, and
your slices remain fresh.
And no thick, clumsy or crum-
bly, sandwiches in lunch boxes
when you use Rice's Slices. For
with these even, clean-cut slices,
it's so easy to turn out piles of
appetizing, tempting sandwiches.
You will recognize this handy
sliced loaf by its gay wrapper, so
interesting to children. Your
grocer receives Rice's Slices fresh
twice a day. Get a loaf today!

ON HOW TO
WIN IT
By Maria JeritZa

I have great trouble with my
skin. l have tried creams. but
find them useless. My skin is
oilv and l have blackheads and
opened pores. Il use VanlshlnG
cream before / use powder and
use rouge. l have been told
that rouge has caused the
opened pores, but / would be
pale without it. Will you suS-
gest some way of getting a NICE
clear skin?
Trv this regime which is ex-
cellent for an oily skin: At
night after removing makeup
with cold cream, wash your skin
with warm water and the fol
lowing liquid soap.
Green soap IA ounces, alco'
hol IA drams, glycerine ~
drains, borax IA drams.
Rinse your skin with cold
water and dry it carefully.
Mornings, wash it again with
the same soap, rinse 1t again
with cold water, then sponge
your face with absorbent cotton
dipped in this astringent, which
will serve as a foundation for a
very light makeup: :,
Rosewater 27 drains, spirit OF
lavender 2la drains, alcohol IA
ounces.
Your druggist will put up
both mixtures, which call for
grain alcohol. Use rouge spar
insly if you think it is irl'itat-
ing and opening your pores.
Possibly if you exercise in the
fresh air daily, eat nourishing
food and tone your skin as |
have suggested, you will not
need rouge in order to have
healthy color.
