Still she talked to Mrs. Wood Elf,
pointing to the boy and the girl from
time TO time.
They kept watching the new break
fast guest, who now began TO eat
portion OF fish which Mrs. Wood Elf
had given her.
The boy and the girl couldn't decide
whether the breakfast guest was old
or young She didn't look either old
or young. And she didn't look tall or
small, or especially fat or especially
thin.
She just looked very jolly and
CHEEKY and bright and nice and sensi-
BILE, and that really was enough, the
boy and the girl decided, for any one
person to have about them.
II was afraid, as I've said before,
you would not like me because Of my
name' said Mrs. Get-thehIost- Oueof-
Life to the boy and the girl as she
shook each by a hand in very cor
dial way. "But please do, for love
boys and girls. I'd miss so much in
life II didn't. And of course l want
to get, the most out of life possible"
she smiled brightly.

The girl laughed. 81 did sound that
way, but l didn't mean TO. | feel

They walked through the woods un-
til they came to the open space where
there was no underbrush and only
tall pine trees with their branches high
in the air.
There was Mrs. Wood Elf poking the
fire and singing 10 herself,
"Such fish, such fish, | caught in the

But better still, come, have seat,
"Then we'll all begin 10 eat"
"We're ready said the girl. "And

"Well," said Mrs. Wood Elf, your
time for starting was before this, but
still there Is no great, great hurry, as
Mrs. Get-the- e-Most-Out-o will ex-

Mrs. Wood Elf had no sooner said
