Ethel Stoneman to her
little cousin in the next house to

Tommy rushed out to the

the corner of our garden wall,
and | cannot open it myself and
| don't want to ask James to do
it for if it is anything interesting
he is sure to tell mother. and she
would take ii away from us"
Tommy hastily crushed the
rest of the toast into his mouth,
stepped back into the hall for his
cap, and crying Come ON then,
We'll find out what this queer
parcel is, and here's hoping it
makes some excitement" tore
down the garden walk, Ethel
close at his heels.
The children found the parcel
Just outside the wall as Ethel had
described it, and when Tommy
turned it over to find The buckles
to the heavy straps he found this
message scrawled on a paper and
fastened to the upper strap: Left
by Peddler Jim"
The children were much ex-
cited and could hardly restrain
their impatience long enough to
get the parcel open.

Remember about the brook, children
it is a very little brook and neither
wide nor deep enough to do more than
get you just a little damp about the
ankles, but l would hate to have any
one go in wading without express
permission from home.
I hope none of the boys or girls who
come will forget to bring their own
sandwiches. l shall provide ice cream
and cake for mothers and Juniors, but
I want each one to bring the sub
stantial part of the meal themselves.
The frolic will last from half past
ten in the morning until half past three
in the afternoon. At that time snail
be obliged to leave the picnic grounds
and I hope that the children will be
ready to go then too, as / shall not be
able to be responsible for them any
longer.
