pretty. 1t was of mixture of green
and brown, and it was so very fragrant
and old-fashioned that 1t was much
loved in the garden.
But the catch-f1y was also very pref

still we mustn't make favorites of
them. for they carry a great deal Of
sickness around with them.

in while perhaps, very sad to think
that you are always. always sticky?"

Don't you feel badly, now and
again." continued the mignonette. that
