Is Shocked
At Mrs. Owls Terrible
Table Manners
By MARGARET M'SHANE.

CTwentx- Story Of tA6 Night, :
Moonbeam thought after hrst
neetins Mr.. and Mrs. Owl that
they were very dignified folks.
They appeared So grave and re-
served at the outset II was hard
for her to get acquainted with them,
SO she concluded that such All as-
pect spoke naught else but dignity.
But indeed, Moonhcam was very
much mistaken, for she was guest
in their home but i few minutes,
when they proved to be anything
but dignifed.
so you see" shes said to Mother
Moon ON her return home, ''onc

own home to know them truly.
This evening Mrs. Owl sat at the
head OF her table serving. her guest
and entertaining her at the same
time.
'We are everywhere we'll known

Moonbean, Mr.. Owl and | stand

darted into splinters, lighting the

with such ugly habits could live in
disseminating night--a time, above
all others, when everything is beau
tiful. :
Frou.- earliest childhood Moon
beam had been taught that her world
was one of beauty and love.
Its beings were all beautiful, kind
to everyone, and never would they
do or say an ugly thing, And here,
sitting by her side. was one of these
very night people with the ugliest
possible manners-~there was cer-
tainly mistake somewhere. Mr..
Owl did not belong to Moonbcam's
beautiful Night.
She ropsed herself from these re-
nections Ind said quietly to herself:
We'll, it is best not TO make
scene, but at the first opportunity
| will make some excuse aud hurry
away"
So. with indignation, she turned
her back purposely on the Culrrit.
and henceforth fastened her eyes fix
edly OH Mrs. Owl.
Moonbeam hoped Mrs. Owl would
never cease speaking because as
long as she talks so inccssantly and
with such speed she could not eat
much food. THE very first min

But Moonbeam did not have 10
ask a question. Madame Owl talked

quietly planning a way OF escape.

Bile, an expression Of the creates,
pride sweeping her face with the

Such manners" Moonbeam said
TO herself, She paled instantly and
gasped, but Madame Owl neither
saw nor heard her agitation. She
rambled on, speaking faster with cv-
cry breath.
"This, my dear" said Madame
Owl, looking gerry at the claw,
is the hunting weapon of our fam
lily. At every squeak of mouse or
chatter Of chipmunk, these claws
clutch from very habit" Pausing
fer breath. and in voice filled with
exultation. she went on: Then, |
become a featheyed cat. Mice and
Chipmunks can run fast, but | fly
faster."
And all this while. Mr.! Owl sat
by. uttering not single word, but
eating favenously.
Moonbeam listened intently to the
words Of Mrs. Owl, but through the
corner Of her eye she watched Mr..
Owl who was little hidden, behind
her.
She noticed, when eating that he
swallowed the bones. fur, feathers,
head and claws OF the little animals
placed before him. And then--im-
possible to relatc---to her great dis
gust and aversion he spit cut little
balls Of food, In a few minutes
small pellets, made OF feathers and
bones, were strewn around his plate.
Poor little Moonbeam. Such dread
full manners so shocked her that she
was suddenly struck dumb.
She sat demurely by, puzzled to
know just what to do.
Regaining her composure, she de-
cided to just tell him in voice as
cross as possible, that he should
have better manners; that he knew
better and If he would not be gen
tleman. we'll. she would just get up
and leave the tablc--so there.
"But. no" On second thought she
said: THAT would not do. She was
in Mr.. Owls home. at his very own
table. This fact would make her
powerless to say anything.
Should she get up and leave!
Mother aud Father Moon would cer-
tainly not want her to stay at such
a table!

While he was playing he saw some

Of ope in pain. He lifted the vines
and what do you think he saw? A

She liked her geography best
