Mrs. Peter made no reply. so iPetsr continued. "He has a hind- side-betore-tongue," said Peter, and looked at Mrs. Peter out of the corner of an eye to nee now she would take that. She made no sign. "He is covered with warts." added Peter.

"Tm also I'm not." said Mrs. Peter.

"When he travels be hope." said Peter. "And he's got a great big mouth."

"Listen Peter Rabbit, don't you Suppose I know whom you've been talking about ever since you got back?" Mrs. Peter asked. "Do You think it's nice to talk about 11011191! folks, and tell how homely they are. If you must talk about folks. why not say nice things? That's what I want to know."

Peter Rabbit was back in the my old Brier-patch. "Where have ,0, been?" demanded Mrs. Pet-

dear Old Briar-patch where you belong?" replied .Kl'l.' Peter. Peter pretended he didn't hear that question. ''It was an old trisnd of ours I nw over there in the Smiling Pool." said he. "Sometimes I think he is the home- liest person we know. See if you can guess who he was."

"I don't want to guess. and I don't care how homely he is!" retorted Mrs. Peter. She was a little upset. She was what you might call peeved. She is always trying to get Peter to stay at home in the dear Old Brier- patch. ' "He is humphacked," said Pet- "He is popeyed. He is how-

"It's taken you a long time go Eelt there," said Mrs. Peter.

It took me a long time to find Out. replied Peter. "Old Mr. Toad has perfectly lovely eyes. I must have looked at him many many times without even seeing "1059 IOVEIY eyes. yet. or course, he must have had them all the

"He probably had." said Mrs. Peter drily.

"And his voice is as sweet as his eyes are lovely." said Pat- er. "Listen. my dear."

From over in the Smiling Pool came the spring chorus of the Frog folk. the high piping voices oi the tiny Tree Froll. called liylss, the rougher. but still musi- cal, voice of Croaker the Green Frog, and the sweet notes or Old Mr. Toad. all singing t ” . No one could listen to that chorus and not ieel something of the joy that must he in,the hearts of the- little singers. And sweetest note of all. at least to Peter, was the voice of his homely old friend, Old Mr. Toad.

All that Peter had said was true about Old Mr. 'l'oad's home- liness. It was also true, that no one could see those golden eyes. and listen to that sweet voice. and still think anything about his homeliness. He is truly homely. but he possesses loveliness too.
