experiments with the sluggish wasp thu
he finds creeping on window sash in th
garrett. He is not wholly ignorant Of th
feibles of the insect, but he has heard Ii
saying that "wasps won't sting till Jun
birds sing" 1t is great comfort fl
him to know this. Ii gives him q poe
idea of a wasp and encourages him to il
suit it. Accordingly he removes it fro
the window sash, places II in his extenC
ed palm and tickles ii de6antly under th
ribs. Later on, two strong women al

mother is exploring his palm with a ne,
die, and his little heels are churnin
holes in the nursery floor. Thus is chile
