those eggs used to lie there and smile
no, not smile-they used to lie there
and look up at-no, they didn't look
up-anyway, they used to lie there.
They used to lie there as quiet as Ii

happy, as you might say. Care free,

He was proud man, can tell you!
He gave each one a name as it
pecked its way out. The first he
called Eeny. and although he tried
to be impartial anyone could see he
liked this eldest little the best. The

Philo Gubb Is one Of the tenderest
hearted men in Betzville. He hasn't
the style necessary to mingle in our
best society, but he has q good heart,
and when his speckled hen died after
setting on nest of eggs for week
Philo's heart bled with pity for the
poor motherless eggs. The very min
ute he saw the dead hen he hurried
over to Aunt Rhinocolura Betz' and
asked II he could borrow one of her
hens, but they were all engaged in
family business Of their own just then,
and Philo sat down on the edge of
the porch and wept. After he had
-wept about a quart of tears he perked
up all of sudden, and asked Aunt
Rhinocolura If she was using her hot
water bottle. When she said no, that
her neuralgia wasn't giving her much
trouble that summer. Philo just
jumped up and down for joy.
AS soon as Aunt Rhinocolura gave
him the hot-water bottle he hurried
home. hippity hopping with joy. and
filled the hot-water bottle up to the
neck, and screwed the stopper in, and
laid 1t with gentle hand on top of the
eggs. During the day the eggs did
not worry him much after that, for
the sun kept the water in the hot-wa-
ter bottle warm enough, but it was a
touching sight to see Philo at night

He had less to distract his thoughts
The hot-water bottle grew so reals
tically hen-like to Philo that when
the chicks got old enough to care for
themselves, and Philo had a cousin
from the city stay to dinner, he went
into his back yard and looked over
the chicks. He saw that they were
not old enough to broil yet, so he got
his ak and bounced down on the auto
hen, and chopped the stopper clean
off. 1t wasn't until Philo grabbed
what was left of the hot-water bottle
and started to pick the feathers on
that he realized it was not a real
hen
That is why 1 say 1t is mighty lucky
hot-water bottles don't have feath-
ers. If they did have Philo Gubb
would have gone right ahead and

for summer bride-elect. She had
the lawn gayly decorated with Ian
terms and rugs spread in cozy spots
surrounded by shrubbery with camp
chairs and little tables where tea was
served.
The guests were asked to bring ar
ticles for miscellaneous" shower.
After they arrived there was a short
musical program of love songs The
packages were tied to a beautiful
evergreen, a real little Christmas
tree. 1t certainly was a loaded tree.
for the hostess had added lot of tin
things like cooky cutters, graters, etc.,
that sparkled in a most bewitching
manner.
Each parcel was accompanied by a
rhyme or sentiment, which was res
aloud. The bride-elect was handed a
pair of scissors and clipped the rib
bons, opening each parcel as she took
it down. This with serving of refresh
ments furnished entertainment for
time specified on the invitations, from

Entire figure place cards are eff
fective with standard to hold them
upright at each plate. At one dinner
for a bridal party the place cards
were little photographs of the bride
and groom in frames of gilt with mats
made from the bridal gown.
A coterie of college girls had these
unique souvenirs, which also served
as place cards. Books were made of
white satin, with the words Our Wed

to preserve the wedding cards of the
girls as they came out, and there were
spaces for newspaper clippings de-
scriptive Of the event; also places for
a few written notes.
1 think photographs of the bride and
groom should be added to make this
record complete. The name of each
girl was done in gold on the outside
cover, and thus it made the place card.
