How TO aSsuagc this mpatieucc Is

OF course there a"c several answers

The Birds Presents
But perhaps that has already been
done. | So here is another solution
that never failed t" delight me III my
own ch:ldhool. Their" WAS small iir

TO decorate 1t for the birds. We tied
bits Of gay colorcd w"rstsd all over it

and for more substantial gifts We hunE
bits of bread or cake and perhaps an
apple or two. We did not know how
highly thu birds would have appreciated

OF bird study that would. OF course. be
one of the gifts.

who gave us all the supplies. That's
the kind OF mother she was.
Another expression Of the Christmas
spirit that We always enjoyed but am
afraid I cannot suggest for many OF my
readers. was the spreading OF a day be-
fore Christmas dinner for the hens. We
did not bother with any worsted. We
had no illusions about what would IN
terest a Plymouth Rock hen. We knew.
And we surely showed those hens
good time.
