Miss Penguin turned her head to-
wards Mr.. Johnny Penguin. All the
other penguins were watching. Mr..
Johnny wished he could talk to her
alone. He wished he could tell her
what fine mate he would be without
all these creatures looking on. He
found himself quite shy with so many
around.
''What in the world or on the is
land, or in the ocean, or under the
stars or the moon or the sun will do

All the other penguins had begun to

Mr.. Johnny Penguin SmOOthed down
his feathers with great care for he
was going a-calling. He looked around
the beach and then gazed keenly far
out upon the ocean. He strutted
around moment or two and then
looked about him again.
What shall | take herr" he asked
himself, There were plenty Of other
penguins around whom he could have
asked for advice but he didn't want
anyone's advice. He wanted to decide
the question himself. The only thing
was that he didn't quite know how to
answer his own question. That was
difficult, yes, it most certainly was
difficult.
I might" he said to himself, take
present such as no penguin has ever
had before and it would be sure to
please her. But do not know how to
get the wave for her. AS soon as
got it another might come along and
take it away from me. That is trick

upon the beach and strutted along in
a very proud and naughty fashion.

AS he walked along with his head
high in the air he thought Of what a
lovely home he would have with Miss
Penguin, for he was going a-calling
on the loveliest Miss Penguin on the
whole island.
At one time he looked down and
saw fine stone, smooth and quite
perfect.
'"This will just do for her." he said,
'for Miss Penguin must be given an
engagement ring If am to ask her
to marry me. She will expect it and
she will accept it, ha, ha," and he
gave a laugh of joy.
At last he reached the spot where
Miss Penguin was standing.
'HOw fine and straight she stands"
he said to himself, and then he
stopped right in front of Miss Penguin.

He dropped the stone in front Of
her. She certainly could not refuse it..
But Miss Penguin looked in another
direction and did not pay any atten-

reached by going deep down to its
source.

The source of Eczema is IN the
