Instead of having almost in numerable styles and qualities from which to choose, she must coniine her choice to eight styles. This rule will so . into effect, however, only after . the stocks now on hand in stationery stores are gone. Wahlstrom-Samuelson Nuptials.

Her fooK Is caught In a root and she cannot eecape but Billy Belgium, armed only wli his violin, leaps to the rescue.) CHAPTER IV. Brown Bear1 Dances. HE bear stopped short as Billy Belgium jun.ped in front of him. Perhaps he thought Billy T Belgium's violin a new kind of a gun. Opening his mouth and showing his fangs, he gave a surprised sort of grunt and growl. To Teggy, held helpless with her foot trapped in the forked root, he looked alarmingly fierce. And Billy Belgium, daunt- lessly confronting him, seemed very small. He could finish Billy with one big bite. Then Billy Belgium did the queer est thing he began to play his violin. Peggy was astonishel, and apparent ly so was the bear. He opened his mouth still wider and then wrinkled up his nose in a funny kind of a grin. Billy Belgium played the liveliest tune he knew, a rollicking Irish jig, one of the kind that usually set Peg gy's feet to dancing. And it had the same effect on the bear. He began to rock from side to side on his hind feet. His body swayed in tirrfe to the music and his feet did an awkward shuffle. If) a minute Billy Belgium changed to a waltz, and now the bear seemed thoroughly at home, for lie danced around and around just like old-fashioned folks that Peggy had seen at parties. "He seems to be a regular dancing bear." thounht Peggy to herself. "I wonder where he learned to waltz!" The birds had darted for the woods as soon as the bear appeared, but now they came back to watch the show. , And some one else was watching, too. Three pairs of eyes looked out from the underbush, and when the bear in his waltzing turns happened to pause for s moment on the brink of the river bank, two figures hurled themselves toward him. One was Billy Goat. The other was Johnny Bull. Billy Goat, his head down and his whole body as tense as a steel spring, reachedthe bear first. Bangl He landed on the bear full tilt. Over the bank shot the surprised bear, not knowing what had struck him. And after him shot Johnny Bull, who was going so fait that he caught the bear in midair, grabbing him firmly by the tail. Down went the bear and dog into the river kersplash. The water was deep and both went under. In a mo ment the bear rose to the surface and began to swim for dear life. And be hind him he towed Johnny Bull, whose teeth were still set fast in his tail. The bear Reached a big rock In the stream and started to climb up on it. lohnnv Bull .was forced under the water and had to let go the bear's tail. Bruin drew himself up on the rock, and when Johnny Bull came at him again the bear, with a snarl, shoved his head under the water. Johnny Bull came up choking and spluttering, but still game. Again and again he tried to get hold of the bear, but each time bruin reached out a big paw and shoved him down. Final ly, Johnny Bull, nearly drowned, swam to shore, where he growled savagely. When Billy Goat hit the bear, Billy Belgium stopped playing and ran to Peggy's aid. He held the forks of the root .apart and Peggy drew her foot out. She wasn't hurt a bit. Balky Sam, the mule, had quickly followed his chums, Billy' Goat and Johnny Bull, from the woods. Now he was braying indignantly at Billy Goat "Why didn't you wait for me?" he scolded. "I'd have kicked him clear across the river." "Well, I think I did a pretty good job," bleated Billy Goat, grinning at the bear. "I'd say you did," snarled the bear. "I'll not be able to sit down comforta bly for a week." "Come back and give me a chapce at you and you'll not sit down for a month," brayed Balky Sam. "I dare you to come back." "When I get hold of that tail of yours again 1 11 teach you not to scare Princess Peggy," growled Johnny Bull. "I wasn't scaring her," answered the bear indignantly. "I was just asking her to dance with me." Dreamland! AdwEtOTes" Lonesome Ber BANG! HE LANDED ON THE BEAR FULL TILT. 'Then you are really a dancing oear I cried l eggy. "To be sure I'm a dancing bear, and a good one, it 1 do say it myself, Didn't you see me?" demanded the bear. "You do dance lovelv." adniitted Peggy. "I was going to give you all a treat with my dancing, when I got this very rude welcome. I tell you I think it is a mean way to treat a poor, lonesome bear who never, hurt any one in all his life and who li only battling for his freedom." To Peggv s surprise the bear began to sob and great tears rolled from his eyes. "Are you a tame bear?" she asked. "I'm tame and I'm trained and I'm nice," sobbed the bear. "And I want to dance at your party. I don't want to sit out on this ard rock and have a butter and a biter and a kicker quarrel over which will be cruel to me. It isn't polite of them." "Shall we invite him to the party?" asked Peggy. "Sure I" cried Balky Sam, Billy Goat and Johnny Bull eagerly. Balky Sam kicked up his heels, Billy Goat lowered his head and Johnny Bull showed his teeth. "I don't think I'll come," said the bear doubtfully, looking from one ani mal to another. "You can come as my guest," said Peggy. "And the guest of Princess Peggy Lemon Juice For Freckles Qfrlal Make beauty lotion at home for a few cents.
