asked Nancy.
mo. it isn't the Afternoon Tea that
your mother and the grown-up ladies
have. but they called this Party an Aft
ernoon Tea Party.
'In one way they were right-for
they gave the Party In the afternoon
and as for the Tea-well they had
something they thought was far, far
better.
"The Tea Party was given for the
Meadow Larks. The Bobolinks are
great friends of the Meadow Larks
and they wanted to be the first this
season to entertain them. Besides
most Of the Bobolinks had new sum
mer homes and their colony was near
a beautiful stream.
you know the Bobolinks always
build their homes in the meadows
but they build very near O stream and
their homes are always deep down in
the long grass.
They had all come to live In Wav-
ing Grassland for the summer-that is,
all the Bobolinks who always moved
about together in the summer and win
ter-and many Of their friends, the
Meadow Larks, were all on hand to
greet them. A number Of others were
going to arrive in a few days-before
the Tea Party.
Now Waving Grassland was very
beautiful country. The meadows were
very large and the grass was SO beauti-
full and so long that it always waved in
the soft breezes so that the Bobolinks
named their new summer place the
Waving Grassland
And so the Bobolinks made all their
preparations for the Tea Party. All the
guests arrived dressed up in their best
new summer plumage. And the Meadow
Larks came first as they were the
guests of honor"
who were the other guests?" asked
Nancy.
WELL" answered Daddy, "the Red

Nobody knew why the engagement
between Ransom and Dorothy Ben

been broken of, but 1t was surmised
that Dorothy had not exercised her
privilege from volition. Ransom was
blamed more than he would have been
