Johnny Chuch Receives Callers BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

The morning after gentle Sister South Wind arrived on the Green Meadows Peter Rabbit came hopping and skipping down the Lone Little Path from the Green Forest. Peter was happy. He didn't know why. He just was happy It was in the air. Every body else seemed happy. too. Peter had to stop every few minutes just to kick up his heels and try to jump over his own shadow. He had felt just that way ever since gentle Sister South Wind arrived
 I simply have to kick and dance,
 I cannot help but gayly brace.
 Somehow I feel it in my toes
 Whenever gentle South Wind blows.
 So sang Peter Rabbit as he hopped and skipped down the Lone Little Path Suddenly he stopped right in the mid dle of the verse He sat up very straight and stared down at Johnny Chucks house. Some one was sitting on Johnny Chuck's doorstep. It looked like Johnny Chuck. No, it looked like the shadow of Johnny Chuck. Peter rubbed his eyes and looked again. Then he hurried just as fast as he could. got the less like Johnny Chuck looked the one sitting on Johnny Chuck's doorstep. Johnny Chuck had gone to sleep round and fat and roly-poly- a fellow so fat he could hardly waddle. This fellow was thin, even thinner than Peter Rabbit himself. He waved a thin hand to Peter.
 Hello, Peter Rabbit! I told you that 1 would see you in the spring. How | did you stand the long winter?" | That certainly was Johnny Chucks voice. Peter was so delighted that in his hurry he fell over his own feet "Is l it really and truly you. Johnny Chuck 2 he cried.
 Of course it's me: who did you

 "Oh. Johnny's all right He's jus been living on his own fat" said an lother voice. It was Jimmy Skunk wh !had spoken and he now stood holdin, Tout his hand to Johnny Chuck an :. lgrinning good naturedly. He had com up without either of the others seein Ihim

 The only man fit to be her mate was Arthur Mansfield and he was not the man to interfere in the affairs of married woman. The more he loved her, the more effectually he would hide his devotion from her. As 1 left Mar thas house, 1 met another special de- livery messenger I smiled, and hoped it was a word of cheer from the only man who could cheer Martha. In our dining room at luncheon, my husband greeted me:

We would remain friends and companions as long as I refrained from asking disagreeable | questions. once more, it occurred to me that human beings are great dea shallower than they like to admit Plainly, if Bob and were as big as we liked to believe we would discuss oul differences, and compromise them. 1 Bob held the doctrine, in certain way.

RED CROSS NOTES

The 800 children's garments and
200 layettes required of the Augusta
chapter by Division Headquarters
must he completed and shipped early
in June, but to complete the layettes
n quantity of soap and talcum powder
is needed.
There has been a generous response
to the appeal for volunteers to do
sewing, in spite of the fact that peo-
pie are busy preparing for summer.
A considerable amount still remains
to be done however The chapter
would appreciate it very much if any
one not able to give the time to sew
ing wouldl contribute soap or powder
or money to be used for same
The quota may seem large for a
city the size of Augusta. but in view
of the fact that 10000 laYet es. and
garments for 100000 children are
needed in only % cities and towns in
Poland, Czecho- Slovakia. Austria. Al
bania. Montenegro and the Baltic
States it is obviously a very small
part.
At the Red Cross Conference held
recently in Boston Miss Clara d.
Moves, director of nursing, National
Headquarters, Washington, d. c.,
who had just returned from an inves-
tigation of conditions in the devastat-
ed countries of Europe made a state
ment that in Serbia alone there are
100000 war orphans and that the
work of the nurses in these countries
is practically negligible without ade-
quate food and clothing.
