H AVE you ever watched a sea-
IT hon play? Not of course in its
A really truly home in the ocean
oh no! But in its pretend home-a
big pool in a park or museum.
Some day when you have an oppor-
tunity go and call on a sea-liou.
Great, ungainly, lubberly creatures
though they are. they are as playful
as kittens and can make a Jolly game
out of the least diversion.
Down in the famous Aquarium at
Battery Park in New York City, in d
big pool all by himself, there lives a
sea-lion.
Now. wouldn't you think he'd be
lonesome. living there alone, with
nothing TO do but swish around in the
water all day?
But he isn'tl Not bit. for he can
manufacture fun for himself and when
sea-lons-or people-can make fun out
of little happenings they are never lone
some anywhere.
One day. little boy oh about as old
as you are, went with his father to see
this famous sea-lion at the Battery.
of all the wonderful things he would
see that sea-lion do.
But the lion didn't do a thing-rot
single solitary thing interesting or
otherwise. He just laid there in the
water as quiet and stupid as if he never
had moved. never would move, and
didn't know how to move anyway.
The little boy was so disappointed
he waited and watched patiently but
when nothing happened and the sea-
lion didn't move, newell, he almost
got lump in his throat for you see
this was the only time he could be
sure of coming to the Battery and he
had heard much about that sea-lion's
fun.
Just at the very minute when the
sea-lion was the stillest and when the
little boy was really tired standing FIRST
on one foot and then on the other.
the sea-lior's keeper happened along.
And happened to notice the patient
little boy-wasn't tina: lucky?
Hes pretty quiet this morning.
isn't he?" remarked the keeper. =
'Yes. he is 1" answered the little boy
eTnphatica!ly. as he smiled al over and
forgot entirely about being tired. Il

% If you are quite sure she IS
the girl you love. and that she loves
you, why should you mind what
other folks think about it? She is
so young that 1 am sure she will

it is possible that you will get thin
ner.
co AS often as you can without
making her tired of you.
CD Don't stay too late. Both of
you need sleep if you are going to
feel well and do your work right.
CD l don't think it is right. Now
that you have told each other that
you are in love, get engaged and get
married.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % What
