ParOdied Proverbs

This is a good game for nimble wits
and 1t is astonishing how nimble very
ordinary wits grow in the stimulating
society OF other wits. Each person is
asked in turn to write new version
of an old saying, sigping a fictitious
name. The papers are then tossed into
a basket from which they are drawn
by the leader. or hostess, who reads
them aloud. A vote is then taken as to
which is best and the real name OF the
writer is dema nded.
Here are some samples Of remodeled
proverbs produced at a recent gather
ing
Too many girls spoil the bali"
- rollins gait gathers remorse."
Worry makes the hair GO
"A hair in the head is worth two IN
the brush.

The China Hen That F1atched the Chocolate Chicken

u ERNIANY is very interesting
country, where there are great
many good times for little boys
and girls. dolls. rabbits. chickens and
other interesting personages. This is
what Mollie Palmer thought when she
went 10 live for few weeks in a big
German town with her mamma and
papa.
one day Mollie was waiting for her
father TO come home. and Fraulein
Eckstein, who kept the house where
Mollie and her parents were living,
was bringing in the tray for the 4
o'clock coffee. which people like in Ger
many better than they do 5 O'Clock tea.
When Mr.. Palmer entered he handed
2 package TO Mollie and said: Now
here is something for the good little
scholar"
Mollie eagerly unwrapped the bright
papers and found inside large deli
cious looking pink sugar egg.
Mollie was delighted with the egg
and asked her mamma if she might eat
it all up right away.
"Ach. Fraulein," said Fraulein Eek
stein, but why do you not set your
egg 10 see what will hatch out of ii?
That viii be nicer than eating it
Mollie looked puzzled and so did her
father and mother for none of the three
thought that anything would hatch
from a candy egg.
''Oh. yes, said Fraulein, lit will.
Things are different in Germany. Let
US try it," she added mysteriously.
Mollie was perfectly delighted al the
thought of seeing the candy egg hatch
out, and so she gave UP the idea of eat
ing il, and Fraulein Eckstein showed
her exactly what she must do to make
il hatch.
First she got nice round little
basket from the kitchen, which was
really one of her many work baskets
and which was just the very thing for
eggs which are meant 10 hatch. In
this she put nest of nice clean straw
and in the very center the candy egg
was placed
Then Fraulein Eckstein took a por-
celain setting hen, which was one of
the ornaments of the mantelpiece. and
placed it on the nest right over the
pink egg.
There" she said. THE old hen
hasn't had an egg TO set on for long
time and she'll be as happy as she can
be-"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-08-07

There was large porcelain stove in
the room, such as is used in Germany
for heating rooms, and over this was
little shelf, on which Fraulein Eckstein
used TO put the coffee cakes to keep
warm. Now she placed the nest on
this shelf. where the gentle warmth
from the stove would keep the egg at a
proper temperature to make it hatch
quickly.
Mollie was so impatient for the candy
egg to hatch that she was very much
tempted to take the hen off and Look in
the basket that very evening. But
Fraulein Eckstein told her that. if the
egg were to hatch they must be care
full not to look at it too often.
The next morning after brea kfast
Mollie asked if she might look at the
egg TO see how it was getting along
but Fraulein Eckstein said it would be
better TO wait for two or three days.
This seemed very hard to Mollie but
as it was necessary she consented to
wait until Wednesday before taking a
peep. As the egg had been set on
Monday that would give it three days
in the dark before it was disturbed

Bright and early on Wednesday
morning Mollie was up waiting for
Fraulein to tell her that she light
look at the egg. But Fraulein asked
her if she would not be willing to
wait until she came home from the
kindergarten in the afternoon, when
her papa, who was always in too much
a hurry in the morning to look at any
thing, would have time to see it too
Mollie's mother always vent to get
her at the kindergarten, and she had
never seen her little daughter so anx-
ious to get home quickly as on the day
when they were to have the peep at the
egg.
Her papa was there early also, hap
PLY enough. and SO there was no need
for further waiting. Fraulein took
the basket down from the shelf and
held it so that Mollie could reach to
take the hen off.
How Mollie's heart beati She took the
hen off and gave it to her father to
hold while she pushed aside the pieces
of straw that covered the egg.
Then she gave cry of pleased sur

very pink egg her father had brought
her, and with its little brown head just
peeping. through one of the smooth
pink ends was a bright, impertinent
looking chocolate chicken.
oh, Fraulein," cried Mollie, isn't he
lovely? Will he come all the way
through now?"
Yes, yes" said Fraulein, "but we
must put the hen back instantly so
that he will hatch out entirely. We
muctnt leave him exposed to the air
too long or he will take cold and never
come the rest of the way through"
Then Fraulein put the nest back on
the little shelf
For the next few days Mollie tried
TO be as patient as possible. Every
day she asked her father to get down
the nest from the shelf so that she
could listen whether the chicken was
trying to get out of his shell. There
was never any sound of breaking shell,
however, and sometimes Mollie told
F'raulein she was afraid the chicken
had got discouraged and wasn't try
ing to get out any more.
Let him alone until tomorrow
morning" cautioned Fraulein, and we
shall see That old china hen, know
him. He will see that Mr.. Chick gets
out by tomorrow morning"
So Mollie waited patiently until the
next morning, when she came running
down eagerly crying, Now let us see if
the chicken is hatched."
Her father lifted down the basket
and gave it to Fraulein and Fraulein
solemnly removed the china hen.
There, in the center of the straw,
stood the brightest, most enchanting
chocolate chicken, completely out of his
shell and looking as fresh and bright
as the morning itself Only a few
pieces of pink candy in the bottom
of the nest remained to tell the tale
of his imprisonment.
Mollie kissed him rapturouSly and
then also kissed the old china hen.
Look what l tell yous" said Frau
lein, rs he not a good old china hem"
Mollie thought SO, too, and in token
of her gratitude she tied fresh ribbons
about the neck of the old hen that very
day.
AS for the chocolate chicken, he was
so attractive that Mollie kept him for
several days Then finally he went the
way of all candy chickens, and every
body who had a piece of him-and
that was all the family-said he was
very good.
