Once more Reddy Fox put on extra

by little the space between Reddy's
black nose and Peters bobbing white
tail grew less and less. Just as it
looked as If in the next Jump Reddy
would have Peter the latter lodged
again.
This time when Peter lodged he
was once more headed toward that
partly opened door of the sugar house.
How he did run now! My. my. my!
It did seem as if Peter almost had
wings! But fast as he ran, Reddy
Fox ran Just as fast. Farmer Brown
was so interested that he stood stock
still without making a sound. He
wanted Peter to win that race, but
he quite forgot that there was any
thing he could do about it. At first
he didn't realize that Peter was max
ing for that open door. In fact. he
disappeared inside. Then he saw and
understood, and then he yelled. Yes,
sir. Farmer Brown yelled.
Hi, there, you red rascal! Get out
Of there!" yelled Farmer Brown.
Reddy Fox obeyed. At the sound
of that voice he put on little extra
speed, but he didn't enter that sugar
house after Peter. No, sir, he didn't
do that. He kept right on past the
sugar house and disappeared among
the trees. Farmer Brown hurried
down to the sugar house and closed
the door after him when he went in
He lighted lantern. for it was rather

for Peter Rabbit.
At first he could see no signs ol
Peter. However, he knew that Peter
must be in there, for there was no

Finally he discovered Peter squeezed
in back of the woodpile. He could
see that Peter was frightened almost
to death. He could see Peters sides
moving as Peters heart went pitter.

Difference
|Of Dinner
And Supper
Indications Lie in
Choice of Courses and
Table Settings.
nv EMILY POST,

DEAR MRS. POST: In giving some
~ mechanical table-setting advice
to a reader recently you referred to
their evening meal as supper" I've
wondered since whether it Is still
correct to use the term supper" for
the average family's evening meal.
At our house we always have. but
habits better to have our big meal at
noon.
Answer-According to the formal
precepts Of etiquette. differences be-
tween dinner and supper have always
been: At dinner the table is set
with q cloth. Soup Is served in q
soup plate with a rim and eaten with
a soup spoon (tablespoon). No butter
served nor bread-and-butter plates
permitted. No cups and saucers per-
mitted ever, except half-sized coffee
cups at the end Of the meal. Also
the main course is Enthusiastically
a roast. In the present era Of in
formality the only distinguishing fea-
lures that unmistakably announce
supper include soup in cups and pos
sibly other cups and saucers for tea
or coffee or chocolate. Bread-and-
butter plates and a bare table indi-
cate supper" only in very formal
houses. In the average modern house
cups and saucers are the only definite
indications that the meal is supper
and not dinner. In most American
communities the most substantial meal
OF the day is called dinner, though
it may. accurately speaking, be lunch
or supper. On the other hand, in
many houses where there are chill
dren the midday meal is dinner. but
called lunch, and the evening meal is
both actually and called dinner"
Dear Mrs. Post: My boy friends
mother Is in the hospital and should
like very much to show some little
feeling. The reason for writing you
is to ask what I may do, since I have
never met her.
Answer-First find out whether he
likes your suggestion and, if he does,
then write q message on your card
and send 1t with few flowers. Or
send her an appropriate and appealing
get we'll" card, and write a message
on that.

the combined hands held IL tricks
in top cards. and that his problem
was to produce a thirteenth trick by
locating the queen Of diamonds. Ac-
cordingly, he started to count the
hand. First. the nine-spot lead in
spades. With four or more spades,
West would have opened fourth-best; /;
hence, he held no more than three
spades. Accordingly declarer cashed
the ace of spades, discarding low
diamond, and played the ace and king
of hearts, East showing out on the
second lead.
Declarer now started clubs, and
when East followed to the third lead
he knew that East's original holding
was either seven spades, one heart,
two diamonds and three clubs or eight
spades, one heart, one diamond and
three clubs. Therefore, declarer SIM
ply laid down the king of diamonds
and ran down his remaining clubs
On the play of the last club, West
was forced to discard his remaining
spade in order to hold the jack OF
hearts and low diamond.
Now declarer knew that East orig.
inally held seven spades, and hence
| two diamonds. He therefore simply
threw the heart from dummy, playec
a diamond, went up with the ace
dropped the queen, and made hi.
grand slam contract.
Had he and his partner bid nor.
mally, they probably would have
reached the grand slam in diamonds
The queen would have had to b,
located early in the hand, and de-
clarer might well have taken a losinl
finesse. on the theory that Easts re-
peated bids made it likely that h,
would be short in diamonds.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Many vegetable gardens need
an application of lime, and not
infrequently lime can be used
to advantage in the flower gar
den if the fact is kept in mind
that certain plants, like rhodo-
dendrons, azaleas and the lupins
resent it. It can be put on in
the Spring, early, either after
the ground has been plowed and
before it is narrowed, or in any
case before any planting is done.
II the soil is light, four ounces
to the square yard will be enough.
Where the soil is heavy, a little
larger application can be made.
1t is not necessary to be very
particular. If enough lime is put
on to give the ground a gray
color, that will be suff1cient. In
cidentally it may be said that
one should always wear gloves
when applying lime, because
otherwise it will burn the hands
or make them very dry.

The bidding started out normally
and simply enough, North opening
with one diamond and East over
calling with one spade. Now South,
for some reason best known to him
self, decided to bid two hearts. West,
of course, passed, and now North
also became fancy. He reasoned from
his hand that only club lead could
annoy slam contract in hearts, and
hence bid three clubs. East in a
spirit of whistling in the dark went
to three spades, whereupon South
went to four diamonds. North jumped
to six hearts, East passed, South went
to seven diamonds, and now North,
after a terrific huddle, went back to
seven hearts. East passed, and South,
in desperation, was forced to go to
seven no trump, every one passing

YEAR WITH SURPLUS
Total Is Expected to Be Larger

TOPEKA. Kans,. July 2.-Operating
on its avoWed "pay-as-you-go" basis,
Kansas embarked on new fiscal year
yesterday with a surplus announced in
its treasury.
The exact amount of the surplus in
the States general revenue fund had
not yet been determined, but A. R.
Jones, State accountant, said he ex-
pected it to be slightly larger than
last years balance of sl.007.00
Likewise, the States other operat-
ing fund-that of fees and special
taxes from which the highway and
several other departments are financed
will have surplus, the accountant
said.
A year ago today, Kansas officials
reported that the State had closed its
books on the 1885 fiscal year in the
black, and a speech was made by Gov
Alf M. Landon, now the Republican
presidential nominee, on How Kan
sas Kept Out of the Red
