was not grateful for this kind of at
tentfon, but the butterfly was, and as
she sat on the fence to get her breath
she said:
ooh, pig, what can I do to repay
you for this kind service?"
Then Benjamin answered right up
quickly: Teach me to dance, OH but
terfiy, because 1 want 10 go into a
circus"
And that was how Benjamin learned
to dance.
And after he had learned everything
waltz and two-step and lanciers and
Highland fling and sailors hornpipe-
he went on his way rejoicing.
But before he met the circus he was
looking for he met a wise old hoppy-
toad sitting at the side of ditch look
ing very dismal.
And when Benjamin asked him what
was the matter he replied in lamen-
table tone:
"Oh, pig! The jewel that was in my
head has fallen into the ditch and
can't find it,"
at would be a real pleasure to me
to get down into that ditch and hunt
for it," said Benjamin, because, like
most pigs, he liked to wallow in the
mud and before that old toad realized
what had happened Benjamin was
down in that ditch having the time OF
his life. He soon found the Jewel and
returned it to the old toad, who, as a
reward for his service. taught Ben
jamin his, one accomplishments
jump.
And after Benjamin had learned all
there was to be learned on the subject
of Jumping he thanked the toad and
set out to find circus.
Circuses seemed rather scarce, but
at last he came to one and, of course,
danced and sang himself into a star

There was once a little pig whose
ambition was to join the circus. He
mentioned this little idea of his to his
mother. and his mother said:
well, really, Benjamin, of course
you come of very talented family
] admire your ambition, my son, but
until l see some mark of your talent l
shall not think you are stage struck. :"
So Benjamin determined to go out
into the world and see If he could find
some one to teach him sufficiently re-
markable trick.
Before long he came upon a robin
sitting on a branch and singing, and
Benjamin sat down on the ground be-
fore it and listened with wrapt admira-
ton. At the end of the song he ex-
claimed with a sigh: "Oh, l wish l
could sing like that!'
Its easy" said the robin. "rd teach
you how only haven't time. / have
to go and collect straws to build nest
and it takes a very long time, because
have to bring them all one by one"
"Then," cried Benjamin, "if brought
you a whole mouthful all at once would
you have time to teach me to sing?"
Surely" cried the robin. Il should
be delighted" and the words were
scarcely out of his beak before Benja-
min was off collecting straws.
And when he had brought a nice
mouthful and had learned in return
how to sing he went on his way re-
joicing and determined to apply at the
very next circus he came to. But be-
fore he met a circus he met butter
fly and stopped to admire it as it fiut-
tered through the sunshine. But even
as he looked it Numbered into a spider
web, where it hung struggling help
lessly, while great black spider came
sliding, sliding down the web toward it.

We always go on Sunday. so we take
the papers. I hardly ever read any

he can lie down and read. But it don't

mamma says dinner is ready.
Papa and a man who goes with us
climbed the mountain to see who could
go the more rapidly. Papa was going
so fast he didn't look around: when he
did he found the other man was going
back instead of going up. So we had a
laugh at him.

WAY TO PREPARE THE
GROUND FOR A GARDEN

m HE first thing that Lucy did when
she started her garden was to
tell Harry all about 1t, because
boys are stronger than girls and can
be very useful when ground has to be
made ready for sowing seeds in April.
Harry was a neighbor of Lucy and
had also very great love for flowers.
Lucy's parents had given her long,
narrow strip of ground at the back of
their house for her garden. 1t was in
full view of the large veranda that
stretched across the house at the rear,
a place so cool and shady in summer
time that Lucy's mother often sat
there and chatted with the many
friends that came to see her.
Lucy had never had a garden of her
cwn before, neither had Harry. They
knew, nevertheless, that it was neces-
sary for them to buy some garden
tools. They chose, therefore, not toy
tools. but a regular set, strong and
practical, although neither so large
nor so heavy as the ones used by men.
1t consisted of spade, pick, rake, hoe
and trowel. Its cost was $780,
AS soon as the farmers about had
begun to pillow Harry took the pick and
the spade and dug out the space for
the garden. 1t was, of course. Lucy
who drove in the stakes and passed the
line around so that he might know it's
boundaries. Harry then raked off the
top soil until 1t was fine and smooth
for the seeds that FLEA the packages
Lucky guarded so carefully. She had
ten different kinds-sweet alyssum,
mignonette, Shirley peoples, candytuft,
cosmos, asters, annual phlox, cornflow-
ers, baby's breath, and portulaca.
These would make gay garden and
give her besides MANY "A fra grant hOI-
quet.
Between the 18th of April and the LIST
of June Lucy sowed them all in her
garden in the places she thought they
would look best. Indeed, on this point
she and Harry had many long dis
cussion, for the queer little seeds told
them nothing about the beautiful fiow-
ers they were able to produce. They
had to do great deal of thinking

In another place in the hollow there
are wild grapes and berries.

Canyon and Beach Picnics

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In the summer time we like to take
our lunch and go up in the foothills
and stay all day and gather ferns and
wild flowers
We never take games or anything like
that to play with. We find entertain
ment enough in the flowers and trees
and birds.
Sometimes we go over the hills to the
beach and have a picnic and hunt for
shells and moss, and play in the sand.
We never know what we are going to
do until we get to the place where we
have the picnic. Then we always find
plenty of things to interest us. Last
] May 1 went to a picnic in Oak Park.
think there were fifteen children there.
We played "forfeits," drop the hand

games. 1t is just Meet time of year to
go on picnics now There are many
wild flowers in bloom everywhere, and
there are so many sunshiny days

Many Suitable Games

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The way I would entertain my friends
at an all-day picnic. There are many
outdoor games and there are so many
that / wouldn't know which one to
start with.
If there were enough boys we might
play ball or go swimming, and If there
were some girls, too, we could play
hide and go seek, or tag. We could
also play sheep, run sheep, run.
But the most important Ito me) is
when the luncheon is spread and we
have a nice meal with ice cream for
dessert. Then after dinner have a

Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My birthday comes in July and ]
would like to have picnic and invite
my little playmates. L want to go to
Eaton's canyon at the foot of Mt
Wilson; it is such lovely place for
picnic. We could go in a big tallyho
with my mamma and auntie to take
care of us. We could start earlyfin
the morning before it got hot.
Then we would take plenty of lunch
for me would get very hungry riding
such long way. After our lunch we
could climb up the hills to hunt for
ferns and flowers and look at the
waterfall. And then when we were
tired we would rest in the shade of
the big oak trees
AS it got cooler we would drive home
slowly, singing and footing horns.

which is a beautiful view of the San

Or if one chose they could climb the

would be much nicer to 50 to the

In Santa Monica Canyon

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 think the topic is very nice one.
I will tell you how l would entertain
an outdoor all-day picnic. l would get
up at s o'clock in the morning and get
big lunch ready. -
l would make plenty of different
kinds of sandwiches and apples. Or
anges, bananas and pears If l could get
them.
1 would take cookies, cake and all
kinds of good things, so no one need
go hungry, and l think the very incest
place would be to go to Santa Monica
canyon, as there are swings and room
enough to play in. And we all could
have such a good time climbing the
hills and picking wild flowers. Mother
took a crowd of girls for a picnic
most every week last vacation, and we
had such a good time. One time we
went and stayed for both dinner and
supper.
