Mrs. Peter Rabbit seldom leaves the dear Old Brier-patch. That is her home. and she doesn‘t like it because Petcr persists in running around outside too much. Mrs. Peter feels safe in the dear old

Brier-patch. and she sees no sense

in going to places that are not safe. There is plenty of S\'l'i’et clover just outside the dear Old Br.ci'- patch, and there is no need to go far for food.

She and Peter have cut private

little paths in all directions through
