BEDTIME STORIES
By THORNTON
W. BURGESS

the narrowest of escapes. Once Reddy
Fox surprised him there and Peter had
a hard run for his life. Once Peter
lodged just in the nick of time to
escape the great claws of Hooty the
Owl, and 1t was wholly because he was
too intent on finding that unknown
singer that he forgot to be on the
watch for enemies, thing that none
Of the little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows ever can afford
to do.
Once Peter was sure that he heard
that song again, but IL was so far away
! that It was very faint and he couldn't
tell where 1t came from. This time
he took care to tell no one, for he knew
that IL would result only in more teas
ing. But 1t made him more deter
mined than ever to get at the bottom
of that mystery.
II never can be happy again until
do" Peter would say to himself. I'll
that strange bird has gone away he'll
be sure to come back sometime and
when he does he'll sing again. I'll find
him or my name isn't Peter Rabbit.
Gradually his friends stopped teas
ing Peter. The joke had grown so old
that 1t was no longer interesting. They
gradually forgot all about 1t. But Peter
didn't forget. He was always on the
watch for q strange feathered singer
and never went into the Green Forest
without hoping that this time he would
solve the mystery. You see, his curiosity
hadn't been satisfied; 1t was as great
as ever. So he was always looking and
listening and he never left the Green
Forest for the dear Old Briar-patch
without a feeling of disappointment.
At the same time he never lost faith
that somehow, some day, he would find
out all about It.

Blacky the Grow would go out Of
his way to visit the dear Old Briar-
patch almost every day. Hello, Peter, I"
Blacky would say. What is the news
from dreamland? You should be more
careful what you eat, Peter. Never go
to sleep on a full stomach If you don't
want to dream"
st didn't dream" Peter would retort.
"There was a strange song over in the
Green Forest. I heard 1t and wasn't
asleep. That singer may not be there
now, but he was there that night and
some day I'll find out who 1t was and
then it will be my turn to laugh"
Even little Tommy Tit the Chickadee
couldn't resist the temptation to tease
Peter little, and Drummer the Wood
pecker and Yank Yank the Nuthatch
would ask Peter If he had found that
strange singer yet. Do you wonder that
Peter grew cross and avoided his old
friends whenever he could?
: But all this teasing made Peter more
determined than ever to find out who
that mysterious singer was. He spent
most of his time over in the Green
Forest hoping to hear that song again.
He grew careless and several times had

Minimize Shopping Confusion
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.
his work and expert

realm apart from his work and expert
ence.
Now that the busy shopping days
prior to Christmas are close at hand
many q tired woman who may or may
not know Just what she wishes to buy
for some friend viii fully sympathize
with the elderly gentleman, although
she may not be so frank in voicing heI
predicament. It is well, therefore, to
see If such bewilderment cannot oe
avoided. And It may be that by Q
little careful planning we can spare
ourselves and lessen trifie the con-
fusion which battles ones thoughts.
When a shopper is confused, 1t makes
the task of the person waiting upon her
doubly difficult.
. First and foremost among the pre-
ventive measures is to shop early.
Both the customers and the salesper-
sons minds are fresh, and this tends
to clear thinking This is one reason
why shopper accomplishes double the
amount of work in the same time that
a rush. 1t is not all, because the sales
person can serve her promptly.
Another help Is to concentrate on the
items that are of prime importance and
let the things be secondary that one
would like to do but which can go
until another time. If the shopper
knows what these secondary items are,
she will be quick as she goes about to
note opportunities to buy should such
things be on display, and particularly
if they are specially priced" When
once the mind Is weary, chances are
passed by, and, like the bewildered
gentleman, even the things one plans
to get slip from the memory.
A well thought out list is another
he'll to prevent mental confusion. Even
if ones mind is tired, it can fasten on
the items seen on a list and proceed to
buy them. A. list is stabilizing. Write
it on some colored paper that is asSo-
ciated in your thoughts with shopping
lists, and you will find yourself less
liable to lose list than when it is on
ordinary white or cream paper.

II in your heart you seek to please
You cannot II YOU try to tease:

Peter Haboit.
Teasing Is a bad habit. Yes, sir, It
Is so. It never makes friends and 1t
does make enemies. Besides, It hurts
the feelings of others. It destroys
friendships, and friendships are very
precious. He is rich indeed who is rich
in many true friends.
Peter Rabbit was being leased. At
first he didn't mind IL. but after awhile
it got so that he avoided his old friends
and neighbors whenever he could. You
see, they had ell heard about how he
said that he had heard a strange song
in the night in the Green Forest, and
how he had vainly hunted for the
singer. No one had seen or heard a
feathered stranger in the Green Forest.
so, like Jumper the Hare, they all
thought that Peter must have dreamed
1t.
Had any more dreams2" Sammy Jay
would ask whenever he found Peter In
the dear Old Briar-patch. and he took
pains to visit 1t every day Then he
would fly away chuckllng.
Reddy Fox would come around and
gravely invite Peter to 60 with him
over to the Green Forest TO look for
that unknown singer, and grin in the
most provoking manner.
