BEDTIME STORIES
v. Burgess.
By Thornton

Peter sat right where he was. He
didn't move. In moment or two it
seemed as If a shadow flying
shadow-paSsed across the Smiling
Pool. Peter held his breath. Inside he
was saying, THAT was Hooty the Owl.
Jerry Muskrat must have seen him and
gave the signal down there in the
Laughing Brook. Mrs. Muskrat, over
there behind the Big Rock, heard the
signal and passed 1t along. The nine
children, over there in the bulrushes,
heard her and each passed the signal
along. So by the time Hooty the Owl
got up here every little Muskrat was
hidden"
All this Peter said to himself inside,
taking the greatest care not to move so
much as whisker or to make a sound
of any kind. You see, Peter knows all
about the wonderful ears Of Hooty the
Owl and how well he can see at a time
when most other people can see very
little. And Peter was quite right in his
understanding of those signals. Jerry
Muskrat had seen Hooty the Owl and
had passed the signal along to Mrs.
Muskrat. She in turn had passed the
signal on the little Muskrats and they.
because they had all been trained, had
at once hidden and remained hidden.
BY and by Peter heard a squeak. It
was Mrs. MuSkrat. 1t was answered by
q number Of little squeaks. These were
from the little Muskrats. Their mother
had told them that the danger was
past.

BEAUTY CHATS

If YOU have had q bad attack of
blackheads or pimples, or any form of
acne, I know of no cure better than q
good, heavy coat of sunburn. II you go
to a skin specialist for this trouble. he'll
probably start you by giving you the
violet ray treatment, perhaps once. per-
haps a dozen times. Sunburn is the d.
rect result of exposing yourself to the
real violet rays-the healing, burning
rays of the sun. Only you must be
careful how you burn.
Get yourself dark clasSes-tney can
be bought for 10 cents almost anywhere.
and though you would not want to read
with them or wear them a great deal
of the time (being cheap glass, they
might easily strain your eyes,, they are
ideal for shading the eyes while you lie
in the sun. The next thing to do is to
rub your face and neck and arms and
shoulders with plenty of olive oil. Give
your skin a good, thick coating and rub
it in. Then lie out in the sun and burn.
J. K.-I think if you used a fine
cream on your skin every day it would
relieve the condition that bothers you
so much. 1t would surely improve the
texture of the skin so there would not
be this Creepy" look you describe, and
1t would keep the skin much more sup
pie than now. AS you improve the
whole condition there will be less and
less tendency to dryness. You do not
need to have expensive treatments, Just
give your skin enough Of good oil
cream, using finger tips in light mas
sage to get blood to surface, and close
pores afterward with plenty Of cold wa
ter, which also will be a stimulating
treatment. If you wish a formula for
a good cream, send a stamped, ad-
dressed envelope with your request and
IL will be mailed to you.

Experts say with proper care
an electric iron should be of

Always connect your cord at the
wall plate, then plug in your
iron. Have also a separate switch
on the cord near the iron to
turn the current on and off.
Don't leave your iron to heat:
stay with it. Thus you will not
forget and allow it to become
overheated. Iron heavy material
with the current on. But for
light stuff, learn to switch 1t off
frequently and iron with stored

When making pastry, roll in

it school But after all, any place
these little Muskrats were being taught
lessons every day.
1t was surprising how fast they grew.
1t was quite necessary that they should
learn as fast as they grew. Otherwise
they would become grown up without
being really fitted to take care of them
selves. Peter, just from watching, got
so that he understood some of the sig
mails. He was over there just at dusk
one evening. Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun
had gone to bed behind the Purple
Hills and the Black Shadows had crept
across the Green Meadows and over
the Smiling Pool. 1t was all very calm
and quiet and shadowy there. Pres
entity the first little star came peeping
out and was reflected in the water.
Nowhere could Peter see anything OF
the MuskratS. Jerry wasn't to be seen {;
Mrs. Muskrat wasn't to be seen; none
Of the little MuskratS were to be seen.
After a while Peter began to wonder
where they were. 1t was just such a
night as Muskrats love, Could it be
that something had happened to one
or more of the family and the rest
were in hiding? Peter tried to be pa
tient. However, patience does not hold
out forever, and at last Peter made UP
his mind that he would go over in the
Green Forest for a while.
Peter was just about to start along
when he heard clearly but family a
sound which he recognized. It was the
sound made by fiat tail being slapped
on the water. The sound came from
down the Laughing Brook below the
Smiling Pool. Immediately the sound
was repeated, but was much louder.
This time 1t came from back Of the Big
Rock in the Smiling Pool. And then
right away came a whole series of little
slaps They were not so loud, because
they were made by small tails. These
slaps came from in among the bull
rushes at the upper end of the Smiling
Pool After that all was still. Yes, sir,
