T0ddy's Story
For Children

49,
The imaginary family in the pretty
brown bungalow was getting Peter
IN trouble Even Papa got mad when
Peter told him that Mr.. Uncle Bob,
was lots better to little Bob h Pa
pa was to him.
WHO in thunder Is Mr.. Uncle
Bob?" Papa wanted to know.
Just q man l know" said Peter.
Some more of that make-believe
stuff, i suppose 1 think you're get
ting too big for that sort of thing"
But Papa's anger was nothing to
be compared to that of Mary Ellen's
when she found a note that Peter had
written to the beautiful golden-hair-
ed Esmerelda. In vain Peter tried to
tell her that Esmerelda was just a
m~ake-believe sweetheart. Mary Ellen
went home in tears and refused to
speak to him.
He sat on the front porch think
ing about it..

out" he thought to himself. N

Just then a sure enough van did
draw up to the brown house and they
began to move some very beautiful
new furniture in the house. Perhaps
a nice family with about seven chill
dren would move in. He a in to

street to investigate. A long grey car
with some trunks strapped to 1t drew
up in front of the house. A man and

up the steps hand in hand. Some
one that looked very much like Mama

It WAS Aunt Gracel Peter o up

SQUIRREL FOOD

Dear Girls:
I was standing watching a man
NOW a lawn yesterday and / thought
of how like ourselves and life that
was. Don't we act asgas lawn-mower
and cut away all the extra debris
which sometimes clogs up our mind?
After we have done that we have q
nice smooth feeling just like the
grass looks after all the excess and
heavy grass has been cut away. So
I think hat lots of US at this time of
the year had better get our mental
mowers out and freshen up ready to
start he fall fresh and new.
If you are going to school it is
nearly time to think about those for
gotten mathematical problems which
have been slowed away in the back
of your head all summe or per-
chance those elusive French verbs.
If you are in business there is a fall
coming and a long, hard winter,
| Better freshen up to be ready for it,
If you are at home there are house
hold cares and responsibilities or 30
cial obligations which must be full
| filed. Everyone, I should say, had
| better freshen UP.

stop at which the Curlew, outfit put

entire trip performed their duties
with great effectiveness.
AT Yonkers. a new b. 5. A. ship
was launched and christened the
Half Moon. The stop at Yonkers was
only temporary as the next day we
moved across to Huyler's landing, on
the New Jersey shore. We had the
pleasure of pitching camp in the
rain of course. We lay over at Huy-

surely hindering our plans.
