was no other way and there wasn't
any bridge.

they are perfectly fresh"

put in little pool and put a board

so very happy for they were not as
fond of Uncle Mud Turtle as he was
of them.

Chewing gum is q new game-and
a gummy game at that. Each girl
takes q package OF gum, inserts IL
stick by stick into her mouth, and
then chews and chews and chews un-

When the Jaws begin to ache each
girl takes her gum from her mouth
and begins modelling it-just as
though it were clay or plaster Of

most artistic model gets the prize.
