Peter Rabbit and Winsome
BIuebird Gossip. J

To gossip is to talk about other peo-
pie and what they are doing or what
they have done or what they are go
ing to do Peter Rabbit and Winsome
Bluehird were gossiping in the dear Old
Briar Patch. Winsome sat in little
cherry tree and right under him sat
Peter. Winsome had just arrived from
way down south to spread the glad
news that Mistress Spring. was on her
way and would soon reach the Green
Meadows, the Green Forest and the
Smiling Pool. You see Winsome is
the herald of Mistress Spring and keeps
just little way ahead of her. When
the little meadow and forest people
first see his beautiful blue coat, or
hear his soft, sweet whistle, they know
that Mistress Spring is surely on the
way and not very far behind, and then
great joy fills their hearts. First comes
gentle Sister South Wind to prepare
the way, then Winsome Blueloird, and
after him beautiful Mistress Spring.
Peter Rabbit was brimful of curiosity,
Just as he always is. You see, it was
u long time since he had last seen
W:nsome Bluebird and all the other
birds who had gone to the far away
south when the leaves began to drop
in the fall, and of course he wanted to
know all about his old friends and

had been doing and when they were

Mrs. Lincoln Karmany, wife Of Col.
Karmany, in command Of the marine bar
racks, is the great-granddaughter Of a
man, who, for three generations has held
a unique place in the affection of the
American people. This man was Samuel
Woodwork of Massachusetts,, who wrote
1.-THE Old Oaken Bu<set." The original
manuscript of the poem is in the pos
session Of Mrs. karmany's family, as are
many other relics of the writer.
Mrs. Karmany is native Californian.
Her father and grandfather were naval
officers, and her earliest associations were
those of the army and navy. Col Kar-
many was at one time brigade COM

many counts the two years spent in the
far east as rare experience.
