 Peter started off, lipperty-lipper- ty-lip, as fast as he could go to look for Buster Bear, but he had gone only little way when he stopped suddenly. He had remem- bered what Rumble, the cousin of Busy Bee. had said when he had asked him to tell him where Busy Bees storehouse was. Rumble had been indignant, very indignant. He had hummed and buzzed angrily. He had said some very sharp things to Peter about people who went about making trouble for oth- CTS. Peter had gone home to the dear old Briar Patch and thought it all over and had made up his mind that Rumble was right. It was dreadful thing to make trouble for others, and he didn't want to do anything of the kind. But that was before he had found the storehouse of Busy Bee. Then it had been easy to make up his mind that he would do nothing like that. But now-well, now it was different. First he scratched his long right ear with his long left hind foot. Then he scratched his long left ear with his long right hind foot.
 q don't know that Buster Bear will make any trouble for Busy Bee," thought Peter. and hopped on a few steps.
 "Yes, you do, too." said a small voice inside, and Peter sat down.
 If don't tell him, someone else will, thought Peter. and started on again.
 Perhaps no one else will find the storehouse," said the small voice in- side, and Peter stopped hopping.
 Someone is sure to-" thought Pe- ter, once more starting on. If they do it is no business of yours," said the small voice, and Peter sat down.
 I'm going to tell" said Peter fiercely, and began to hurry faster than ever.
 You're not, eitherl You couldn't be so mean" protested the small voice, and just as before Peter sat still.
 Now, all this time that Peter had been fighting with himself he had been too busy to watch out, and so he did not see the crafty face of Reddy Fox peeping out from behind an old stump just ahead of him. Reddy was grinning wickedly, for he saw that Peter for once was not looking for danger.

 As LiUing Room
By BETTY WELLS

WHEN they built the new house,
 W Alice insisted that they must have a knotty pine library. It was a nice idea, although Alice didn't mean to confne its use to reading by any means. So her problem was to bring this room into the general scheme of family living, first, to vindicate herself and then to show that an extra room of this sort was practical and pleasant.
 On the practical side she tried subtiety, and 1t worked! She made this little pine room into a modern version of the back parlor" you know the room that used to be used for evenings en famille, saving the front parlor for big occasions. Of course, Alice makes no hard and fast rules, yet by furnishing this little room comfortably and gayly she has succeeded in diverting a lot of wear and tear here. Then she's discovered that the smaller room is grand for those evenings when she and her husband like to sit at home, he with a pipe and paper, she with needlepoint or knitting.
 How has she furnished it? To start with she decided that the wood tones of the walls were the best part of the room, so she completely covered the floor with a soft pile rich brown carpet that would play up to the walls. The sturdiness of the wood tones suggested seal ing-waX red leather chair for the lord and master of the house, while Milady is content with a deep lounge chair in soft beigey material fringed in brown.
 In recessed book shelves she has placed books with gay bindings, and when the original covers of the books didn't seem quite bright

Beauty in Glass

It has been well said that glass more than any other form of handi- work shows the individuality of the craftsman. The glassmaker of old created products which expressed his own conception of beauty. But no longer does he shape and turn a piece of molten glass on the end of metal tube into thing of ex- ceeding beauty. The technique of glass blowing has so completely changed that it may almost be con. sidered lost art.

PETER RABBIT FIGHTS WITH HIMSELF

THAT'S a funny thing to do-to
 A fight with yourself-isn't it? But that is what Peter Rabbit did fought with himself. Yes, sir, Pe- ter fought with himself, and it was a hard fight. You know, that kind of fighting is the very hardest kind of fighting in the world. You see, it was this way: Peter had been lucky. very lucky. He had started out to follow Busy Bee from the Green Meadows to her storehouse in the Green Forest, and almost right away he had lost sight of her.

 But he kept on deep into the Green Forest, wandering this way and that way, until he had grown so tired that he just had to sit down at the foot of a big tree to rest. And as he rested he had heard a humming sound way up high over his head, and it sounded as if it came from inside the great tree. When Peter looked up he saw Busy Bee and all her relations coming and going from the little hole way up near the top of the tree. Then he knew that just by chance he had found the storehouse of Busy Bee.
