When the blinds are drawn and the fire shines bright
We gather round in the candle light,
And we sit so still, you'd hear pin fall.
While Daddy makes shadows upon the wall.
First there rabbit, then lion bold.
Next frisky little lamb that's wandered from the fold
\ bird with wings fish with fins;
How well we know them all!
And love to watch our Daddy make the shadows on
the wall.
Sometimes take turns at the pictures, too,
And Daddy then shows us lust what to do;
But our hands. he Declares are much too small
To bring the right shadows upon the wall.
Then Dad makes camel, with great hi o hump
Next little kangaroo that gives skip and lump,

dawned on Partridge that something
was wrong. He could not believe it
so he padded harder still, and,
dreadful sight! poor Partridge lost
control of his canoe and spun around
and around in the water, growing
dizzier every moment.
On shore the admiring song died
away into puzzled chirpings, and
then into silence. The silence was
broken suddenly. "Cheep, cheep,"
sang a little fat Wren. 1T is round
like a bowl and it won't go at ALL"
The dreadful laughter broke out
all through the forest until even the
echoes took it up-"It is round like
a bowl and it won't go at ALL!
Poor Partridge! He was so
ashamed and he felt so foolish! He
managed to reach dry land at last,
and hurried away as fast as he could

WHEN THE BIG SEA LION DIVES
By CHRISTINE A. VALLEAU.

HF YOU don't believe that there Is
such an animal as this huge sea
lion. take a trip to the Geological
Gardens in Bronx Park some day and
see for yourself. And if you go just
at the right time his feeding time
you will see him diving off the boulders
into the water, just as he is doing in
this picture Whether or not he simply
wants to "show of" and thinks this
good excuse for doing it, no one knows;
but that seems to be his keepers
opinion on the subject.
At every meal time, instead Of being
satisfied to stay in the water and get
the fish as it is thrown TO him, Mr.. Sea
Lion this one, by the way, is called
"Stellar's Sea Lion"Lgoes around to
the back of the rocks, which slope down
into the water on the side you can't
see, climbs up to the top, waits till he
fish is thrown into the water. and then,
with a great flourish, dives in after i.
With a great splash, too, as you may
imagine. For this particular sea lion
weighs four hundred pounds, and when
four hundred pounds splash into the
water from the height Of these rocks
it's not a gentle splash at all. In fact,
if you stand too close you're very likely
to get wet. Sometimes, however, that
is Just what some of the children who
watch him try to do, especially the
little boys.
They crowd to the railing just as

may be heard tremendous
twittering and chipping. 1t is the
Council Tree of the Birds; every
bird twitters there-excepting one.
II is the quiet, retiring Partridge,
who cannot be coaxed into politics
by any persuasion. In his youth he
was the leader of them all, the mer-
REST, busiest maker of speeches in

One day he left the Council Tree

Widow Mouse, who knows every
body, came out from her neat hole
at the foot OF the tree. and, excited
~ shifting a morsel of news, joined
Partridge. AS they walked along he
told her what had passed in Council
Meeting. The birds were to have
canoes and sail on the lake like
men! Partridge was appointed 20
build the whole feet. He dubbed
over with enthusiasm. The Widow
Mouse was excited, too. but she was
practical as well.

canoes?" she inquired.

progressed; the Widow Mouse
brought a little stocking and her
ball OF gray yarn and knitted busily
as she sat near by to watch the canoe
builder. The forest was filled with
an air Of pleasant expectancy.
At last the feet was finished and
ready for launching. Birdland was
in holiday humor to see the regs ia.
The heads Of the tribes were to sail
the canoes; the relations were to
perch in the trees where they could
see and sing as loud as they could.
The mothers and cousins and sis
