little birds made!
Then, all of a sudden, one spar.
row flew down and the rest fol-

their animated conversation.
We sat very quietly and watched
them. I could not help wondering
what all the commotion was about

talking, 1t was about something
which interested them very much.

hop over there and see what those
little sparrows are talking about,
will you?"
Bunny hoped down off the
bench and went over near the spot
where the birds were gathered in
a group and started nibbling the
grass. OF course the sparrows
didn't pay any attention to him:
they went right on with their dis
cussion.
He nibbled awhile and then he
came running back to us and told
us what he had heard.
Bunny said that one of the spar
rows was making a speech to the
other sparroWs, saying:
"It Is an outrage for people to
think we are a nuisance. We are
good American citizens and we do
all that we can to keep this coun-
try free from bugs which eat trees
and spoil crops"
One little saucy sparrow came
forward and asked:
"Who started all this talk against
us, anyhow"

clown came on the stage,
loud outlaws shook sill and rafter
for his act was all the rage.
People spent the dimes and
nickles they had scraped and
pinched to save, for he had
part that tickles young and old
and gay and grave. Bill, the
clown, was painted brightly and
in red and yellow dressed, while
he pirouetted Nightly, spinging
many a quip and gest. Billy
loved to hear the clamor and the
thunder of applause; people never
seemed to hammer his perform
ence, because as a clown he was
perfection, nothing short of it; in
fact, other clowns in deep dejec-
ton wept when viewing Billy's
act. But the wild huzzars and
shouting swelled his head and
touched his brain, till one day he
muttered, pouting: II will never
clown again. Think, if people are
so eager just to see me play the
Ounce, where my lines are very
f1eagre and I've only threadbare
stunts, how I'd reach those chaps
like magic, how I'd move the
bunch to tears If I'd give them
something tragic the remainder
of my years. Yes, my clowning
days are over, / have done it
long enough. now the public
shall discover I am made for

straightaway started. roles de-
signed to make folks weep: but
alas. his luck departed and he
put the crowds TO sleep! He was
sure they'd be enchanted when
he played the Dismal Dane: but
they chuckled when he ranted
and they hooted at his pain.

could answer the question. because
they were all shouting. One indig-
nant little bird chirped:
Its the robins-those big. fat
red-breasted robins, that are just
growing bigger and fatter every
day and eating all the worms in
the country. They're jealous of
u.s."
At last the sparrows duieted
down and the leader spoke again:
"You shouldn't feel that way,
my friends. 1t is true that the
robins used to fight with us when
we started to outnumber them,
but that is no reason why we
should feel badly or be mad at
them. There Is room and work
for us all. Why don't we all live
happily together. We sparrows
have our work to do and the
ROBINS nave theirs.
You see. a long while ago we
were very important to this coun-
try. There were so many bugs
and insects eating the trees and
plants that someone who knew our
forefathers in England thought it
would be a good idea to bring some
sparrows over here and see what
they could do to Danish those bad
bugs, So they brought our best
sparrow families over. They set
tied down. They liked the climate
and they built nests and laid eggs
as fast as they could and before
the people Of this country knew it
they were helping them to raise
their crops and we have tried to
help them ever since"
Murray! Hurray!" shouted all
the sparrows.
This started the sparrows to
thinking Of all the bugs they had
to eat and away they flew.
The meeting ended happily, Bun
ny said. All the sparrows voted
to keep up the good work for
which they originally had been
brought across the ocean to do.

out into the night whether Bill

STRAWBERRY
TIME
Nv LOrettO C. Lynch

by LOrettO T.. Lynch
wv HILE strawberries are
" new in the markets in
Wv some places and conse-
quently high in price. 1t is well to
serve them in their usual state.
Place them in a colander and
pour over them a teacupful OF
water at a time to remove the
sand.
If a great gust OF water is al
lowed to run over them the deli
cate berries are liable to be
crushed and the flavor injured.
If the berries are to be hulled.
hull them after washing. If this
is done before, as it is so often by
the unthinking, the berries
"bleed" and their goodness and
flavor are wasted.
Try serving strawberries with
a bit of the stem attached. Heap
some powdered sugar in the CEN
ter of an individual serving dish
and bank the stem-bearing ber-
ries about it. Then each may be
dipped into the sugar as it is eat
en-.
When berries get cheaper. you
will want to make up some de-
licious strawberry jam to serve
either at the afternoon tea next
winter or to put on the kiddies'
bread for the after-school snack.
Wash, pick over and hull a So
called quart box of berries. This
Is, roughly speaking, about three
half-pint cupfuls. Crush with a
silver fork in an aluminium or
agate cook pot. Cook gently until
the berries have actually boiled
about twenty minutes Remove
scum as it arises. Pour into hot,
sterile glasses. When cold, cover
with melted wax. Store in a cool
dark place.
Strawberry sauce may be made
by crushing a cupful of berries
with half a cup of powdered
sugar. This need not be cooked.
1t is good over stale lady fingers
or over a sweeted and nodded
leftover breakfast cereal.
