think! there were brand. spanking

went to eating again, and first thing
we knew, our new skins were Just
as much too little as the old ones.
and we were in the same fix we were
before. But they came unbuttoned
and we slipped out. and there was
always a new skin under the old one.
and this thing of filling up and get
ting bigger skins kept up until we
were grown. Then we grew beauti-
full. gauzy wings, with red and yellow
spots on them and when we wanted
to move about we could sail along on
these wings just like the birds do. I

They were of on the nine o'clock

after dark, you can see that 1t was a
big day.
First there was the ride in to the
city-that may be tiresome enough for
folks who take it often, but Bob and
Ellen found 1t most interesting to ride
past towns and meadows factories
and railroad yards, tenements and
parks till they came into the beautiful
a street car over to the boulevard and
a bus to the park and, of course thew
rode on top with Ellen and Bob each
having a chance to drop their own
nickel into tie conductors funny littIe

After that they lost all track of what
happened next and had a glorious
time. There was lunch near the hfr
lake; the walk through the zoo whore
they saw all sorts of creatures from
monkeys to lions and birds to tigers
that grabbed for the raw meat the
keepers gave to them. The seals were
best of all Ellen thought. The keener

their little pool and tossed fish into
