Mr. Rec had a long day before him
and as he had made an early start Il.
felt he could afford a little time to
listen TO the story.
"Of course I can only tell YOU what
have heard" said the Dewdrop. But
for one am sure It is true
1T is said that long, long ago. sun
flower was n water Nymph named
Clytie and she fell I'm love with the
sun and began TO Worship him.
Every morning she was waiting for
him when he rose and watched him as
he went along his daily course. and al
last one day her limbs took root and
her face became the Sunfower which
turns on it's stem SO as always ot watch
the sun.
Il don't see how YOU can call him
her lover" Eaid Mr. Bee when Dew
drop finished the story. she is in
love with him. I'll grant you that, but
how do you know he IL in love with
her?''
"Oh. I am sure he is. for how could
no help loving one who is 80 devoted
as Sunfower. She always Ereets him
in the morning and is the last one TO
say good night when he goes down
behind the hill" sighed the Dewdrop.
Isn't IL a beautiful love story?"
1T is a very one-sided affair think.
buzzed the Bee. Why didn't she fan
in love with water God: she would
have been near him and known n he
loved her"
He has never told her he did not
love her" said the dewdrop. and !
am not sure but that is the best sort
of a lover to have-one you can love
and worship from afar and never have
him near enough to know his imper-
fections: besides, Sunhowers story is
so romantic and here Dewdrop sighed
so heavily that she fell from the leaf
where she hung.
Mr.. Bee flew away. buxzinr as he
went: ''Dewdrop knows nothing of
love. What ! call love is the way the
flowers love me. giving me honey" and
off he went 10 visit them and take from
| them their sweet gift while he gave
nothing in return.
There are many ways Of loving l am
sure you will agree:
Now, which do YOU think was happier
the sunfiower or the bee?

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
I've decided the baby isn't a socialist
by instinct after all. in spite of his sud-
den mania for red. Mrs. Brennan had
her baby over today and he kept on
showing his six teeth as if he purposely
wanted to antagonize our baby and
make him feel cheap because he person
ally hasn't got a single tooth yet, though
heaven knows it's time.
Well joe would you believe it the
little angel just smiled his angelic empty
smile and didn't seem TO mind in the
least, whereas if he really had socialis-
tic instincts he probably would have
gone into fit or something at the idea
of all the inequality in the world and
the thought that he ought to have at
four. But come TO think of it he did
offer the Brennan baby his milk bottle,
but then Of course IL was empty so
perhaps that don't signify
Another thing the little angel is learn
ing Joe is the value Of money and that s
a..other thing th' makes me think he's
normal, because it's against the socialist
religi~n TO have any respect for money,
isn't il Joe? ! discovered il when the
little angel got hold of Mrs Brennan s
beaded bag, and the first thing we
knew her powder puff and her latch key
and all her odds and ends were scattered
to the four winds all over the floor but
the baby was holding on TO the loose
change for dear life.
II was really quite a treat to see Joe.
though Mrs. Brennan didn't enjoy il as
much as / did. ] suppose a person al
ways does appreciate their own baby
more than any mere outsider possibly
can, don't you think so Joe? The little
angels instinct for holding on to money
till death do them part makes me think
he's going to be like you in some re-
spects, not that I'm knocking or any
thing. Lovingly.

All the difference I'm the world, my

the difference between the women who
get there, and those who never arrive

hopes, sit down on the do-nothing stool

She has no ambitions that go farther
than a new sport suit and crepe de
chine lingerie She has no aspirations
except to have beaux and a good time.
The business woman knows that il
is only brains that count in business,
and she makes herself as sexless as a
piece of office furniture. She Is as neat,
and tidy. and well groomed as possible
because a pleasing appearance is a
valuable asset to every human being,
