they we're doing something to
break up the meeting, so they made
their way through the p6pweed tan

They certainly did wear fine
clothes, Nancy thought, especially
Mrs. Wrasse and Mrs, CODY. Indeed,
all of them would have made the
most wonderful Christmas tree orna-

and glittered and glistened with all
the colors of the rainbow
Suddenly Mrs. Boar-Fish spied the
little boy and girl looking at them.
Look" she cried, pointing with her
queer looking, long, piggy snout that
was just like her husbands. Mrs.
Boar-Fish was really proud of the

as she said, "a good long nose is GER
tainly sign of character"

they are wearing badges like Cap'n

trust them. Suppose we ask them
who is the most beautiful of us all.
Eyes, yes, yes" cried the others,
swimming around the Twins. DO
tell US which is the most beautiful,
so that we may elect her president" "
Nancy fell to thinking, then she
said, "Mrs. Butter-Fish, for she stays
home and helps her husband"
But she has not tail! accused Mrs.
Blenny, Indignantly.
"And no nose," answered bri )
Mrs. Boar-Fish, turning redder than
ever.
"Or spots, or stripes" declared
Mrs. Rock-Fish.
Handsome is as handsome does"

What did Ginette say?"
THAT Cissy is a piker."
Motherdear scowled. l fastened to
explain:
Il don't like the word any better
than you do. It's Ginette's idea of
forgetting in love-"
If you know what you're talking
about, be definite"
'The other day Ginette was talk
ing to bunch of the women and
she called Cissy a piker, and Rose
remarked, so he's passed you up,
has he?' And Ginette said, I should
worry! Love always passesn Is it
true, Motherdear? Or were they
talking to brighten me?"
Il think the girls were in earnest"
Motherhood admitted.
But is it true? Or only true for
Ginette? And for Rose?"
It's true for many men and wo-
men, dear! Since you ask, you're old
enough to hear the truth"
They why-why let myself fall in
love? If it isn't going to last, why
let it begin?"
That's quite an ideaw Motherdear
smiled sadly. Perhaps it would be
best for you not to be looking for
love, all your waking hours, as most
girls are doing. Your doubt might
shield you from some silly affairs,
and it never could brighten true love

piled:

lutely. When you no longer see your

night. Always and always I kept
thinking that if three women as diff

idea about love, it must be true.
If they agreed that love passes,
