Aloud she exclaimed: Peter, how nice
you look! How handsome and big and
strong and brave you are! You are
simply wonderful, my dear"
Peter hlinked and looked at little
Mrs. Peter suspiciously, but all he saw
in her eyes was loving admiration, and
the thought came to him that they were
the softest eyes he ever had looked
into. But all he said was: Suppose we
go call ON your father, Old Jed
Thumper"
I've already called on him and he
didn't seem particularly glad to see
me-" replied little Mrs. Peter. 81 think
he has lived alone by himself too much
It isn't good for any one to be too

He would never get along with
neighbors, never in the world" said
Peter in q most decided tone.

bit came here to live. Don't you think

That reminded Peter that Molly
up any minute. It wouldn't do for
Mrs Peter to see her or for her to see
Mrs Peter, Don't you think we better
be moving along, my dear?" said he,
hastily. I'VE are quite a distance from
the dear old Briar-patch and We don't
want to hurry"
But. my dear, you invited me to
go to walk. and don't call Just going
home going to walk" protested little
Mrs. Peter. do you know what?"
"What?" asked Peter.
IT want to visit every single place
we used to know in the Old Pasture.
Yes, sir, that is what I want to do
First ! want to 60 to the place where
you first saw me. Then l want to 60
to all the places where used to pre-
tend to hide from you. 1t will be great
fun, Peter, and it will bring back old
times. Wouldn't it be nice if we should
find some other young couple in love
living somewhere in the Old Pasture
after all?" replied Mrs. Peter.
Again Peter looked at her sus-
piciously, but her soft eyes showed him
nothing but love and admiration, and
again he didn't know what to think.

Modern Laundry
Expert Explain s
met Bag System"
Tells How Manhattan
Saves You Money By
Saving Your Clothes

Present day laundry methods,
which preserve clothes as well as
clean them, are far superior to the
old home method of rubbing and
scrubbing, according to Mr.. E. F.
Wesley, chief of the Research De-
partment of Manhattan Laundry,
Mr.. Wesley attributes q large part
of the Manhattan Laundry's sue
cess to their Net Bag System.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag
System of washing, as described by
Mr.. Wesley, follows: First, the
clothes are assorted according to
their color and material and placed
in individual net bags which bear
the customers name and contain
only that customers articles. Safe
in the nets and protected from all
metal or other hard surfaces, the
clothes 20 into the washers. Here
they are subjected to the gentle
cleansing action of swirling hot
suds which penetrate each garment
and loosen every particle of dirt.
Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps
and soft, filtered water are used,
after first having been inspected
and tested by the Research Depart
ment. Many rinsings of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
trace of dirt. This thorough care
in washing is one reason why Man.
haitian laundered clothes stay new
looking so much longer.
Customer Praises Net Bags
In a recent letter to the Man
haitian Laundry, Mrs. E. r. d.

IF ever there was q surprised Rabbit
in all the Great World that one was
Peter Rabbit when little Mrs. Peter
stepped out of a certain bramhle- tangle
in the Old Pasture and demurely said
that she would be delighted to take a
walk with him. He blinked. He gaped
at her in the most foolish manner, and
for a minute or two he couldn't find
his tongue. She was the last person
in the Great World he had expected to
see. He just couldn't believe his eyes
and ears. He hadn't the least idea that
she was anywhere but in the dear old
Briar-patch.
Peter had been taking q nap late
that afternoon when Mrs. Peter had
slipped away. When he awoke it was
already dusk. He locked about hastily
for Mrs. Peter, but not seeing her,
concluded that she was ON the other
side. This was too good chance for
him to go unobserved and he had made
the most of 1t. He scampered for the
odd Pasture as fast as his legs could
take him, lipperty- lipperty- He was
fearful that Molly, the young Rabbit
with whom he foolishly fancied himself
in love, would not wait for him. And
now instead of Molly here was little
Mrs Peterl Do you wonder that he
didn't know what to think?

FISHING U MONS
 WILL VOTE SOON ON SEPARATION
American and C an a di all Men Have Some Con-
 flicting Interests

At the annual election to be held the last Tuesday of this month by the various branches of the Deep Sea Flshermen's Union, in Ketchi- kan, Prince Rupert, B. C., and Se- attle, members will ballot on can didates for office and on the quest ticn whether the American branches of the Union shall be di- vorced from the Cana d a n branches.
 The Deep Sea Fisherman's union is closely allied with the halibut trade in north Pacific waters. In fact, the members of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association draw their crews from the members of the union and there is a close. working agreement between the two. fss
 Some Conflict of Interest
 Many subjects have cropped up from time to time, it is claimed, to show. that the interests of the Canadian and American members while identical in general way, are diametrically opposed in a number of instances. One of these is said to be the difference paid American and Canadian halibut vessels for fish on arriving at a Canadian port, principally Prince Rupert.
 Closing Has Been Suggested Z
 The Rupert union even has gone so far as to recommend the clos ing of Prince Rupert to American boats unless the price was equal ized by the removal of the present duty. 9
 It is known that some members of both the Canadian and Ameri- can branches of the Deep Sea Fishermen's union believe they can function more effectively by being separate unions. How wide spread this sentiment is will not be known definitely until the mem bers take a ballot on the subject.
