They looked at her empty wooden
shoe In the chimney corner. and
felt very sad.
But little Piccola never doubted
that she would have gift. When
the first ray OF morning light glim-
mered in her room. she slipped
from her warm bed and stole quiet
ly to the chimney corner. She took
her shoe up q and peeped inside.
Then with cry of delight. she ran
to show It to her mother.
."Oh mother" she cried, "see my
Christmas gift" - -~ :
Her father and mother peeped In
to her shoe. Down In the toe
nestled tiny sparrow. He had
flown in from the fierce winds and
cuddled down in Piccoia's wooden
shoe -
!, How happy Piccola was with her
bird! She fed him through the
long winter, and when the spring
days came and the other birds be-
gan to build their nests. the spar

stayed with her -always-Donald

Spring Makes Need
For More Playground

Dear Aunt Molly:
Warner school is getting In need
Of a larger playground every day.
One reason is that It Is coming
spring and the boys want q place
to play bali near the school house.
Another reason is that many Of the
children of Warner live in flats and
haven't any yards to play in,
think the playground at Glen
Miller will be very nice. But it is
SO far from us and we will not get
to 60 very often.
We would appreciate your help
very much IN adding to our play
ground.-Yours truly. Alice Caveny.
