was Lizzie. The FIRST little red lizard

Life and people both. Now when J
say that ] mean life 10 funny ] mean
that there are 10 many amusing things
happening al the time.
"For instance, while ] was sitting
on this walk OF rather spra wiling on
this walk ] heard the people talking
on the porch. Not only did they talk
against The dampbess and grumble be-
cause II was raining but they told such
curious stoTiss."

"Yes," said Lizzie. swell, Of course
they were talking about the weather
to begin with and as q matter Of fact
they spoke about II every once In
awhile all the time and they ended on
talking about 1t, too.
zone Of them saw me and spoke Of
how funny II was we came out and
seemed to enjoy such days.
But they told such curious stories.
One Of them told how q child had
dreamed Of bats and had wakened up
In the middle Of the night quite fright
ened by her dream. Just imagine how
foolish that was. Gracious, there are
80 many people who think every one
must be just as they are. I've never
heard that bats were harmful.
"And the child was especially fright
ened because she said one Of the bats
scolded her In her dream and that the
bat was a middle-aged bat who was
particularly cross looking"
"How absurd" said Lionel.
sand they told that they had heard
wild pigeons ate more than any other
animals in proportion to their size
meaning that considering their size
they ate more than any other crea-
lures of that same size.
"That isn't SO funny. They told 1t
as something very curious. TO me IT
Is more curious that they should think
II so queer, because think people do
good deal of eating themselves and
that it's not in the least becoming OF
them to talk about the way other
creatures eat
"Then they talked of butterflies who
opened and shut their wings when
they were surprised and of the noise
they made with their wings and of
butterflies who'd gone for their winter
sleep.
"They spoke of caterpillars who
would strike their heads on the leaves
and make sounds when they were rest
ing or swinging and they thought that
was very queer.
"But to me the queer thing is that
the people should talk about such
things. Why shouldn't butterflies
have their way of talking just as peo-
pie have?
"No reason at all why they should
not" said Lipnel.
"Well," said Lizzie, I'm glad we're
sensible and not queer, though l sup
pose everyone thinks other ways from
their own are queer. For here ] am
talking about people being queer be-
cause they think other creatures are
queer. And TN doing the same thing
In my thoughts. too"

is the way it catches the light.
A good silk waist or dress should

should wear at least a year.
These waists were Of silk SO
