the dining room table read:
Dear wiggie; / have just run
over to see Mrs. wibblewobble, the
duck lady. for few minutes. I'll be
back in time to get your supper"
! Then the bunny set the bottle OF
perfume on the table near the bottle

1t began to get dark and was

This must be Nurse Jane coming
in" whispered Uncle wiggiiy. I'll
hide behind the door,"
But before he could do this there
was a sudden rush. and into the
bungalow jumped the bad old Pip

I Maybe he would go IL I gave him
a smell of the lollypop perfume" I"

said:
N"Would you like a nice sniff of
orange flower perfume, good Mr..
Pipsisewah?"
I'm not good Mr.. Pipsisewah -
I'm bad" was the growing answer.
But I'll take a sniff of perfume
just the same. And don't think, be-
cause l smell the perfume. that I'll
let your souse alone! I'll nibble that
after you open the bottle"
He reached over to the table I'm
the twilight darkness and took up
a bottle. He took out the cork. He
put the bottle under the Pip's nose.
Take a good smell" said the
rabbit gentleman.
The Pipsisewah did; a god, hard,
sniffy smell.
And the next minute that bad
chap let out such a yell that II
could have been heard half way to

To Doris the dinner at'the graceful

seemed only background for a mon
ologue by Mrs. Stevenson.
The copper-haired lady had Travelled
many times around the world and
she had fund Of clever stories and
experiences which she recounted in
inimitable manner. Her polse and the
skillful and carefully cultivated tricks
of the melodious voice won Doris's
envious admiration. but she felt a
trife resentful and more than little
hurt. that being the honor guest was
an empty compliment
The night was warm enough for cof-
fee to be served In the garden. MIS-.
stevenson, who had ignored Doris
during her brilliant performance at
table, came to sit beside her with an
ingratiating air.
win you think me frightfully rude
IL I ask you where you got that
charming frock. Mrs. Darlington "
she asked with the slightly con-
descending air of one who must per-
force speak a language that is under

In New York" Doris frightened
at the sudden attention. quite obliyi-
Gus to the contrast between the rapid
topic and with the lady's earlier con-
versation of politics and intrigue and
court scandal. I'VE stopped there on
our wedding trip"
How delightful! After all. New
York is the only place 10 find distinc-
tion in every phase. And what did
you like best in New York;
Doris hesitated- She felt reluct-
ance to name the shops as her favor
lite diversion in the metropolis in the
face of Mrs. Stevenson's obviously
cultured taste.
The opera" she answered finally
with slight hesitancy. 1t seemed a
fashionable selection. she thought
''I adore opera" declared Mrs.
Stevenson warmly. You lucky child.
