JANICE jerked herself back to the
present again. Abruptly she picked
up her things and rose. A dull red
glowed in her cheeks and her eyes
flashed. The young man stared at her
in amazement.
Good heavens! What's wrong?
Where are you going?"
I'm going" said Janice, ito write a
letter."
She sidled out from the booth and
stood there, staring at the young man
angrily, contemptuously. I've just
remembered what it was he said, and
what his name Is. and that I was
absolutely wrong! So there!"
What who said? When? Where?"
What Bill Smith said. That was
his name, and he took me to a movie
with Ted Hawkins and another girl.
The name Of the picture was Loves
Passion starring Derek Jordan. And
when Derek came onto the screen I
said I thought he was grand. and
acted silly. Bill got mad-jealous-
and said Derek was nothing but a
swell-headed, conceited imbecile. That
started an argument and we never
made it up, and only now I've realized
that Bill was right. So I'm going to
write to Bill and apologize and tell
him I'm coming home if he wants
me TO-"
And Janice tossed her head deriSively,
defiantly. and turned away. conscious
of hundred pairs Of eyes watching
her, of grins and whispered comments
and not caring two hoots.
Behind her in the booth Derek
Jordan blushed to the roots of his
hair. He had an uncomfortable feel
ing that many had heard the girls
final remarks and knew she was call
ing him a conceited imbecile-and he
didn't like it.

Mr.. Rau.
The hand was, of course, a laydown
for four spades. since all Mr.. Burn
Stine lost were the opponents three
aces, and he and Mr.. Jacoby received
a top score.
Some readers may feel inclined to
look askance at Mr.. Fry's double of
the four-Spade contract. However, as
mentioned, the leading pairs try to Ak
one another. Mr.. Fry thought Mr..
BurnStine had a fake two-bid, par
ticularly since Mr.. Rau is noted for
the soundness of his overcalls and II
Mr.. Burnstine did have fake two-bid,
it behooved Mr.. Fry to double on his

four-spade contract was actually dou-
bled at four of the sixteen tables. but
in no instance except this one did the
North hand feel justified in redoubling.
while the South player naturally could
not redouble himself, since he would
expect the opponents to run to five

Round Table.

MANY nationals would sleep

less In letter writing and speechifying
and more in round table conferences, 80
writes q contemporary historian.
The implications. In the phrase
round table conferences" are deeper
than some of US perhaps realize.
One Of the difficulties besetting
those who have to make seating ar
rangements Is who shall be seated
where-a headache particularly Pc
culiar to diplomatic negotiations.
To obviste this situation, q genius
suggested that all talks between po-
litical opponents be had about q
round table.
Nobody being able to claim any
preference in seating, nobody had an
advantage over anybody else-and so
everybody was on equal terms-and
theoretically, at least, happy.

catch either Peter or Mrs. Peter. but
there is always chance that one OF
their children, less wise and careful
than they. may be surprised outside
the Birarpatch. Then, too. some OF
the children of Danny Meadow Mouse
live just inside the edge Of the Old
Birarpatch and make frequent trips
out into the grass Of the Green
Meadows to get the tender young
shoots Of grass and clover that they
dearly love. AS Peter watched Reddy s
approach an idea came to him. PEI
haps there was a chance to make
trouble for that strange Rabbit. II
there was a chance he, Peter. would
take it. even though it was at con-
siderable risk to himself.
Peter knew just where the strange
Rabbit happened to be sitting at the
time. Peter left his own hiding place
and hoped along past where the
stranger was. What he expected to
happen did happen. The stranger
leaped out at him. Peter took to his
heels. The stranger followed. This
time Peter did not try as hard as
usual to get away. He wanted to be
chased. He ran and dodged this way
and that way along the private little
paths OF the dear Old Briarpatch.

of the other to tantalize him. Now
two Rabbits running as these two
were rustic a lot OF leaves. and they
make faint thumps with their feet.
Reddy Fox, approaching the dear Old
Briarpatch, suddenly pricked up his
ears.
Now what's going on in there?'
thought Reddy. Somebody is chasing
somebody. I wonder who 1t can be?"
He didn't have to wonder long. Peer
ing In among the bushes and barmbles,
he caught glimpse of two brownish-
gray forms. One he knew was that Of
Peter Rabbit. The other was Of an
other rabbit which he saw at once
was bigger than Peter.
Now where did that fellow come
from?" thought Reddy. Il think I'll
hang around here a while"
Peter knew just where Reddy was.
1t was going to take lot of courage
to do what he meant to do, but he
had planned it carefully and he was
willing to take the chance. This way
and that he led the chase through the
Briarpatch ard gradually approached
the edge near which Reddy Fox was
crouching fiat in the grass. Peter al

SSTF I CAN'T Outright that fellow
I've got to outwit him." said
Peter Rabbit to himself as he
sat in a thick bramble-t -tangle
of the dear Old Briarpatch, where the
big, strange Rabbit could not get at
him. So far Peter had managed to
keep out of the others way since the
one big fight they had had in which
Peter had discovered that the stranger
was more than a match for him. Sew
eral times Peter had been very near
to deserting and going up to the Old
Pasture or to the Green Forest, but
each time he thought of little Mrs.
Peter and decided to stay.
Then just at dusk one evening Peter
saw Reddy Fox coming down from
the Old Pasture. Reddy was coming
toward the old Briarpatch for one
of his frequent visits. He has long
had a habit of visiting the Old Briar-
patch on his way to other hunting

He darted out only q few feet in front
Of Reddy Fox.
The big, strange Rabbit, too angry
and too intent on catching Peter to
give q thought to anything else, leaped
out after him. Now by the time Reddy
Fox could get to his feet and leap, the
strange Rabbit was between Reddy and
Peter. This was as Peter had planned.
Peter lodged. He lodged again, and
was headed straight down for the
dear Old Briarpatch. The strange
Rabbit lost his head, as the sayings is.
With Reddy Fox so close on his heels
he didn't know which way to dodge,
and ne lodged in the wrong way. He
couldn't get back to the Briarpatch.
There was nothing for him to do but
to try to get to the Old Pasture.
