and they got all the little Breezes,
their grandchildren, to work with
them.
They visited the lakes and made the
waves dance and roar with glee. They
talked to all the trees and got them
shaking with laughter and waving
about in high excitement.
Everywhere they went they laughed
and joked with all the things they
imet-the shrubs, trees, rivers, and
even the shutters on the outside of
windows.
What time they did have with the
shutters! They told them such jokes,
that the shutters almost fell off laugh
ing. And shutters always shake and
rattle with laughter when the North
Wind tells them a joke.
Such joke as the North Wind is !!
He can think up more jokes than any
other wind. And how he does enjoy
it himself. The jolly old soul!
II should think 1 would feel so cool

81 am sure People must enjoy me.
Watch them tie wells around their
heads so won't blow off their hats
heigh-ho, heigh-ho! 1 think I shall
just have to sing song. Please sing
softly, Mr.. East Wind, nice accom-

North Wind began his song:
I'm the North Wind SO bold,
IT am good and cold.
Il am so brisk,
THAT Folks run the risk,
"Of losing their hats,
$50 I say Jing-Bats.''
"Whatever does Jing-Bats mean, or
what do they mean? Just what are
they anyway" asked Mr.. East Wind.
'"They don't mean anything, said
Mr.. North Wind, who had stopped
singing quite so hard. 81 just said
Jing-Bats to make it rhyme with
hats"
"But hasn't it any sense or mean
ing?" asked Mr.. East Wind.
'"That shows" said Mr.. North Wind,
'that you don't understand about poe
try. Nor about songs Who cares
about the sense as long as they

''Oh, very WE'LL" said Mr.. East Wind.
"I'm sure don't mind. just wanted

nothing at all, then I'm all right"
Mr.. North Wind was singing again:

"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho,

Now, down on the earth, the People
did not know what Mr.. North Wind
was saying, nor did they know what a
fine time he and Mr.. East Wind were
having, but they did know that all
around things were blowing, blowing,
blowing. so the Earth People said.
"How terrific are the March Winds,
