Tommy Tit Accused of Boosting

It isn't safe to say anything oefore
Chatterer the Red Squirrel unless You
are ready and willing to prove that what
YOU say is so. Chatterer never forgets.
and if he thinks he has caught you braS-

Tommy Tit the Chickadee had said that
he was not in the least afraid of Farmer
Browns boy and had Just as soon eat
out of his hand. OF course, Chatterer
didn't believe that. He thought Tommy
was boasting a little. and he made up
his mind that he would have some fun
with Tommy
So when Sammy Jay came along Chat
terer told him what Tommy Tit had
said. and Sammy told Peter Rabbit, and
Peter tod Billy Mink. and Billy Mink
told Little Joe Otter, and so the story
spread all through the Green Forest, and
everyw mere Tommy Tit went some one
was sure to ask him If he had eaten from
the hand of Farmer Browns boy lately.
And Tommy Tit never once lost his tenn

his temper. You see, he is one of the

Few American women are accomplished
linguists. Nine. Riano speaks, beside her
native language, four others-treneh,
German. Danish and Spanish. She so
possesses another accomplishment rarer
still among American women-she is an
expert lacemaker
No woman who loves beautiful things
can go to the Spanish embassy without
being attracted by its exquisite window
draperies of filet lace and finest en-
brodery. These draperies, lace and all,
were made by Nine. Riano. with the ex-
ception of a few older pieces which have
been in use in her husbands family for
many years. The gentlewomen of Spain
are accomplished in needle work and
lace making, and it was her husband s
mother who taught Nine. Riano the lat
ter art.
The Spanish embassy is we'll adapted
to entertaining on a large scale. Filled
with rare and exquisite objects. it is one
OF the most interesting homes in Wash.

brilliant dinners during the present sea

Spanish silver. hand-wrought. ornate and

It is in the boudoir of Nine. Riano,
however. that the taste of the chatelaine

broderies add to the charm of this

intimate touch to the room, and there
is not an object in it which does not

he had an engagement the next morning.
Old Man Coyote had important business
up in the Old Pasture. Billy Mink had
promised Little Joe Otter to go fishing.
Jumper the Hare frankly said that ne
was afraid to leave the Green Forest. and
because he was so honest about it Tommy
Tit didn't chuckle as he did at the ex-
cuses of the others. Roughleg the Hawk
begged to be excused. because hunting
was best at that time of day and he
didn't want to lose his breakfast. But
Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Happy
Jack the Gray Squirrel and Peter Rabbit
promised to be there. for they knew there
were good hiding places in the old stone
wall. And, of course. Sammy Jay said
that he would be there.
