ETER RABBIT came hopping
u along in leisurely manner
through the bushes that grow
L alongside the old stone wall on
the edge of the Old Orchard.
OF course Peter should have been at
home in the dear Old Briarpatch.
That was the only really safe place
for him. But curiosity and the de-
sire for excitement had been too much
for him and he had slipped away the
night before. Now here he was,
Johnny Chuck and Striped Chipmunk
sat perfectly still on top of the wall
watching him approach. He didn't
see them. He was almost just be-
meath them when Striped Chipmunk
spoke.
Hello, Longearsl Aren't you a
long way from home?" said he.
Peter was startled. He abruptly sat
up and stared. He saw Striped Chip
munk at once and opened his mouth
to reply. Then he closed it without
saying a word, stared Just beyond
Striped Chipmunk, rubbed his eyes,
and stared again.
'Is-is-is that really you, Johnny
Chuck?" he gasped.
IF 1t isn't me, who else can it be?"
grumbled Johnny Chuck.
But you're asleep!" cried Peter. Il
mean
do look asleep?" snapped Johnny.
You mean he should be asleep He
probably will agree with you as TO
that" spoke up Striped Chipmunk.
And he is going to be asleep as
soon as he can get back home, "
growled Johnny Chuck, preparing to
get down from the wall
wait a minute! Wait a minutel"
cried Peter excitedly. "Of course it is
you, and Of course you are not asleep
1t was just the surprise of seeing you
that made me ask such a foolish ques-
ton. I'm so glad to see you, Johnny
Chuck. What brings you out now? 1
didn't expect to see you until Spring"
Il awoke and thought it was
Spring" explained Johnny, looking a
little foolish. Now that I know it
isn't I am going back to sleep"
Don't you like the snow?" Peter
asked.
Il do mott" replied Johnny, and
there was no doubt that he meant
just what he said.
Il do" said Peter. winter without
snow wouldn't be winter
You are welcome to the snow and
to the Winter; l don't like either.
I'm going back to bed and to sleep and
I don't want to wake up again until
Mistress Spring is really here" re-
piled Johnny and once more moved
as if to scramble down from the
wall.
Wait minute!" cried Peter once
more. Don't be in such a hurry
Don't you want to see your friends?

Of the Three Kings is supposed to be
Neg1o named Balthazar. Some
parents mark the cheeks of their

@. What methods of transport do
Spaniards use?
A. Spain has railways, motor cars
and shipping lines; but donkeys and
mules are used to an amazing degree.
Often large two-wheeled cart is
drawn by string of from three to
five mules or donkeys in single file.
A donkey usually is in the lead, an
important position when he must
listen to the voice of the driver in
the cart and turn right or left, as he
Is ordered. 1t is common for dom
keys and mules to go along in that
manner, without any reins being at
tached to them for guidance.

be given to keep them youthful look
ing. Remember that hands betray age
more than the face in many cases.
Hands may be softened and whit
ened by bathing them in warm milk
or buttermilk occasionally. Very red
and somewhat swollen hands with
enlarged joints usually show that the
person is suffering from internal dis
turbances. In such cases, it is neces-
sary to consult a physician as well as
to give the hands suitable local treat

hours around the home.
Care of the nails is very i'm

More About Spain.

RE the homes of Spaniards
n painted in gay colors?
~ A. No, the homes are usu-
4 \ ally of quiet appearance.
Many have dull red roofs
and whitewashed walls are common.
During the past 20 years a large
number of apartment buildings have
been set up, some being four or five
stories high,
1t is an old Spanish custom for
. young man to woo his lady" by
appearing outside her home and sing
ing a love song or playing the guitar
for her. If the lady favorS him, she
is likely to come out on the balcony
of her home and wave to him. That
custom arose from the rule that
suitors must nct come inside the
homes of young women whose hearts
they wish to win.
Even though fitted with balconies,
modern apartments in Spain present
q problem to a young man who wants
to burst forth in music beneath his
lady's window. What if she lives on
the fifth floor? What if other young
women suppose that he is singing
for them and come out on their bal
comics to listen?
Q. Do Spaniards wear gay-colored
clothing?
A. In everyday life their clothing
Is little more colorful than ours; but
when they go to dancing parties or
bullfghts the colors are as bright
and gay as person might wish to
see. Red, lavender, blue and pink are
favorite colors for women's dresses.
Spanish women are fond of wearing
shawls.
Dancing is a favorite pastime, and
some Spaniards spend more time
dancing than working.
@. Do Spaniards celebrate Christ
mas in the same way we do?
A. No, the gift-giving custom is
applied to January 6. rather than to
Christmas day. There is an old
legend about Three Kings who come
on January 6 to leave "toyS and
sweets for all good little boys and
girls This legend takes the place

Careful Frock Meets Serni-Socia| Needs
Increasing Vogue for Dainty
Inset Vestees Results in
Excellent Style.
Beltless Silhouette Valuable
and Grace of Movement
Made Possible.
BY BARBARA BELL.

~ UR pattern sketched today is
a special creation destined
to meet gracefully the semi
~ social daytime needs Of the
average woman with linn
tied wardrobe.
Attention has already been called,
In this column, to the increasing
vogue for dainty inset vestees, the
outlines of which are usually EN-
phasized by cleverly cut revers that
soften and disguise the outline of
the bust.
Another point that registers an
important trend observed in the re-
cent Paris openings is the beltless
silhouette. This style, when properly
handled seldom fails to take an ap-
pearance of weight away from the
waistline.
In this design, particularly, is the
process Of Slenderization carried out
successfully. Attached at just the
right point below the hips Is the
slightly circular flounce of the skirt.
Besides being very new, it is decided
ly right in its way of supplying
enough bottom fullness to insure
grace of movement to the wearer
when she is walking.
Most of the long-sleeved frocks
seen in the Spring collections Of con-
ventional daytime dresses show un-
obtrusive puffs at the elbow, a fea-
ture all practical women will hail
with joy, if comfort is among their
major requirements.
Sewers who are clever about fitting
and adjusting paper patterns will
have no trouble making this sleeve
into a bracelet-length bell sleeve, if
they will omit the cuffs and reduce
the width of the sleeve to the de-
sired proportions.
Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1251-B
Is designed in sizes "a, SO, 38, 40, AZ,
a., 46, 48. Size 38 requires 3 4 yards
39-inch material Vestee of all-over
lace requires a piece II inches by II
inches.

illustrated instruction guide that is
easy to follow.

Conquering Contract

will give you an advantage-you must
use two kinds of two-bids and may
announce to your partner which one
you are using on each occasion. You
may say either I make a Sims two

ever the suit may be. Your partner

PEELED to make a modified two-bid
every time you hold five and half or
more primary tricks; and after you
make it, your partner is compelled
to respond and neither may drop the
bidding short of game" I would re-
fuse this apparent concession, as
would know that my opponent was
trapping me into giving him an ad-
vantage by undertaking to misbid the
hands which called for a modified
two-bid. The hands might be few,
but the effect on the partnership
would be far-reaching. I would be
giving him the advantage. OF course,
I do not say I would refuse the con-
test; I might conclude that If this
merchant was sincere in
believing that he had offered me an
advantage, he could know so little
about cards that I could take beat

still come out ahead on the whole

Care of the Hands.

TINE best way to keep the hands
soft, smooth and youthful is to
give them regular care every
L day. The hands should be
washed thoroughly every night
in warm water, using soap of the best
quality obtainable. The cheaper soaps
may cleanse easily, but they often
cause roughness. When performing
household tasks, slip on a pair Of rub
Der gloves for wet tasks, or cotton or
suede gloves for the dry duties such
as busting and sweeping.
After having the hands in water,
rinse, dry and rub them with a
good hand lotion or cream. Mas
sage them for a few seconds and
press back the cuticle at the base OF
the nail. Use plenty Of cream or
oil on the hands during cold weather.
