had died out on the Avenue, Eddie's mother looked toward the door ex- pecting the return of her boy. She waited In vain, then hastily putting on her hat she ran, first to the church step and then to the police station in her district. With sinking heart she gave a description of Eddie, then sortowfully went back to her empty home. After a sickening wait the doorbell rang and Eddie's friend the "cop" stood there touching his hell met.
 "Please, ma'am, Eddie's found. He's all right, ma'am, just followed the parade. He's at station 6 in L street,
 It did not take long for Eddis's mamma to reach the place, and al- though the boy slept, she could not resist straining him to her breast, and smothering him with kisses. Eddie sleepily returned her em- braces, murmuring, "Eddie-tifed- -mu- sic Uncle Ned-nice Patricks parade so tired!"
 When he finally awoke he was in his own little bed, with his own dear mamma next to him, and in his own cute little way confessed his disobe- dience and promised never to forget" again.

their costumes. There were. however. dancing girls and Spanish torreadors; little Red Riding Hoods and Babes in the Woods; witches and goblins; Quaker maids and maids of the ball. let; policemen and tramps and--and --oh, just every character you can think of, and lots more, too.
 Masks were put on. of course, be- fore the little guests came down from their dressing rooms on the second floor. And what fun it was to walk from group to group trying to guess who this girl or that boy really was and at the same time feel quite cer- tain that no one knew who you were!
 Presently the music struck up and the Grand March began. Helen led it, with French Count as her partner. Round and round the room circled the procession with stately tread; and then, at signal, each couple, in turn, broke from the line and danced off. This afforded excel

danced many times with the Fairy" was not disappointed. He had felt certain all along that she was none other than dainty Minnie Clark, whom he liked best of all the girls. He had tried to make her speak to him as they had danced in the hopes of recogniz- ing her voice. But she--little imp had steadfastly refrained from doing so.
 And now, with masks off, she shook her finger at him and said, You knew all along it was II But I hadn't an idea who you were, Tommy-'deed hadn't" Whereupon, the Bold Buc- cancer seemed much disappointed.
 After everyone had opportunity to speak to everyone else and "get &C., quainted," as it were, the double doors to the dining room were thrown open and-goodness me, what a rush there was!
 And what goodies to eati Chicken salad, the daintiest of sandwiches, lemonade or hot chocolate with great puffs of whipped cream floating on top of 1t, cakes and candy and olives and salted almonds and peppermints and--gracious me. yes!--just oodles of ice cream served in individual bricks" each of them made up of layers of chocolate and strawberry and vanilla! How good everything did taste after tho excitement of the eveningl
 When all capacities had been satis- fled, the guests returned to the music room for more dancing. But to tell the truth, most of them were so full" that they preferred the chairs, or com- fortable places on the hall steps, or the big divan and easy chairs in the library.
 Presently little Gretchen's Mamma told her 1t was time to go home. But Baby Bye"--for that was her cos tume-didn't think so: so she stood right In the middle of the room and just yelled and yelled and yelled!
 Other Mammas, too. thought it high time that Sandman" should come and carry off their little ones into the Land of Nod. And some of the children were willing to go, having tried to hold their tired little eyes open up to the very last. But others seemed to think just as Baby Bye" had thought about it-though not all of them "car- ried on'' as she had done.
 And so one by one, singly and in groups, the party "broke up." As the little boys and girls stepped up and bade their hostess Good night" they told her what a glorious time they had had.

and ran like the wind. My! How frightened he was. He just thought he was going to be killed when Bennie Bunny caught up to him and touched him on the back, called out. "Tag-you're-it."
 T wasn't playing" cried Willie Wolf as he gasped for breath; ''I was nearly scared to death. and it was all because of my new ears--they kept flying backward to hear you coming all the while."
 And my ears kept pointing right after you," laughed Bennie Bunny. Maybe they are all mixed up and we had better go back to the store."
 "All right" said Willie Wolf, still keeping his eyes on Bennie's ears, But let's not run"
 MT. Owl was waiting in front of the store when they got back. Tt was a great joke" he said when he could for laughing. Ears of anil mals that hunt always point forward so that they can hear what is before them, while the ears of animals that use their legs to run away from dan- ger have ears that point backward so that they can hear what is coming after them. I think we had better change yours around"
 All right" replied Bonnie Bunny and Willie Wolf, who sat very still while MT. Owl fixed their ears on as they ought to be.
 When they were once more outside the store Bonnie Bunny said. "Now l we'll so home. But let's not run tAis

out and the guest who had the wad of paper bearing that number stepped up and received prize--provided his string was unbroken!
 In all there were twelve prizes awarded in this fashion-and you can imagine the cries of delight and ad- miration and envy as the fortunate prize winners received them.
 Then the guests returned to the music room and, at signal, they re- moved their masks. What shouts of amusement went up! And what a chorus of "Oh!" and "Ah!" and T didn't know you!" and Did you know me-you know you didn't!"
 To his utter disgust, Bobby Jones, the "worst boy" who was dressed as Gentleman of Colonial Days" who really had tried to behave himself Bobby Jones discovered that he had been paying special attention all even ing to his own cousin-dressed as a little Chinese Maid! He was so sur- prised and disgusted that he just stood

ing men, each one carrying a green flag, and between the groups, red coated men wearing green hats, played Irish airs. These were headed by drum majors, who swung gold-headed canes, and did fancy stunts with them. "Oh-oh-lo-look," cried Eddie, pull ing the arm of the boy next to him, "Ain't he grand? L.-look-o-oh that's what I'm going to be when I grow up." Suddenly Eddie's attention be- came riveted on the men that followed the band
 "O-oh-look-there's my uncle Ned. I was named after him, and he al. ways gives me a dollar when he sees me. Hey, Uncle Ned" called the boy, and forgetting his promise to his mother, he dashed oif the step and ran after the parade.
 He ran. but his little legs were slow, and he was jostled from side to side until he had lost sight of his uncle. and when he stopped he was in a strange street, and oh, so tired. The consciousness that he was lost burst upon him in an instant, and accord ingly he set up cry. Mamma! I want my mamma" Presently crowd gathered around the child. What is your name ?" questioned kindly disposed woman. "Ed-Ed- die." sObbed the boy.
 Eddie what?" asked another. Ed (scb) die, and want {sob) my mamma" (Sob-sob)
 Where do you live, my boy?" asked an old man in the crowd. Eddie, with tearrstained face, looked
 up with a hopeful expression. Next
 door to Robbie Ford" he said. He
 thought that they would all know
 where that was, and would take him
 home at once. They had never even
 heard the name of Robbie Ford. | Just then big policeman came up.
 Eddie and the "cop" near his home
 were great friends, and so he felt no
 fear for this one. He ran toward him and. putting his hand confidently in
 that of tho oficer, sobbed. Please.
 please take me home to my mamma; 1 I'm Eddie and I live next door to
 Robbie Ford"
 Alas, for poor Eddie! The police-
 man was no wiser than his other
 hearers. @Come with mo my little lad.

He went to school just as you
 do, but he had great dimculty in mastering the English language.
 You ask whether he was brisht7 Oh yes, he was bright child. but he couldn't understand some of the pe- culiaritfes of our language that seem easy to you. He got his words all twisted, and the teacher had to scold the class for laughing when he said: See that flock of ships!"
 Teacher told him that A Flock of Ships is called a Fleet. and that a fleet of Sheep is called a Flock. He also added that Flock of Girls is called a Bevy, while Bevy of Wolves is called a Pack. A Pack of Thieves is called a Gang, while . GAng of Angels Is called Host, and Hoat of Porpoises Is called a 6hoel. and . Shoal of Buffaloes Is called Herd.

lent opportunity to see all the cos tunes.
 After an hour of dancing the guests still masked-were invited into the library. But how strange the room looked! It seemed to be a perfect tangle of red and green threads which ran from the huge chandelier in the center down to all corners of the room, over and under chairs, around table legs, back of bookcases and un- der the big divan.
 At the end of each string, Helen's Mamma explained, was a small wad of paper which had a number written upon 1t. And for certain of the num- bers there were prizes. Each little guest was given 8 loose end of string from the chandelier and told to un- ravel it-without breaking the string, mind you-until he came to his wad of paper.
 Then, when all the strings had been unwound, corresponding numbers were placed In big urn and one of the other mammas present reached in. blindfolded, and pulled out piece of paper. The number on 1t was called

" UILLIE WOLF and Bennie Bunny got their ears mixed .W and it all came about through % the store of MT. Owl. who had decided to go out of business, "for," said he, why should I go on keeping a store to sell ears when all of the animals have ears and walk right past with out buying?"
 One day, after MT. Owl had made his wise decision. Willie Wolf stopped at the store to pick out a pair of ears and, seeing two long ones marked down to five cents, bought them. For what is the use," he said to himself. "of taking pair of short ears when can get these nice long ones at the same price? I might as we'll have my moneys worth" A little later Ben nie Bunny went into the store and picked out a pair of fuzzy ears that had sharp ends and pointed forward. MT. Owl put them on for him and showed him how he looked in the glass. "If you don't like them we have other styles--' he began, but Bonnie Bunny thought they were fine because they were different from the other rabbits.
 T wouldn't think of chnngins them" he said. but he never saw the smile on MT. Owls face as he watched him leave the store.
 On the way homo he saw Willie Wolf and hurried to catch up to him to tell him about his fine new ears, but when Willie Wolf saw him com ing he put his long new ears back

 Big tears came to Eddie's eyes, and his distressed mother tried to think of way to please him. The Avenue was only block away, and at the corner was a church with high steps in front.
 Can my little man walk to the corner and stand on the steps of the big church by himself?" she asked.
 "Oh, yes, mamma, I often go to the corner on errands."
