Black Pussy tingled all over with the
hope that at any moment Mouse
might pop out of that hole. Once in
a. while she prowled around in other
parts of the Old Orchard. But for
the most part she spent her time
watching that particular hole.
Now that hole had been made by
a young Meadow Mouse. He was one
of the children of Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse, and when 'he had
left home to make his own way in
the Great World he had gone straight
up to the Old Orchard. There he had
been living very comfortably. Just
as down on the Green Meadows
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse had
many little tunnels under the snow.
so this young Meadow Mouse had
many tunnels under the snow in the
Old Orchard. This particular hole
was one of several he had made to
reach the surface. He didn't come
out often. and when he did come out
it was mostly at night. He felt
safer at night. There was no real
surface at all. and when he did it
was in the spirit of adventure.
He often visited these various holes
and climbed up high enough to poke
the tip of his nose out. In this way
he left the scent of Mouse around
those holes, and that is how Black
Pussy knew that Mouse lived down
somewhere below that particular hole
That is how she knew it was not a
deserted hole. 1t was that smell of

soUReE-A locality.
Here is a group of family names
based upon word which has all but
disappeared from our modern vo-
cabularies. There are really more OF
them than are listed in the foregoing
variations. but they are met with
rather rarely. and those we have list
ed here are sufficient to show the
manner in which such names were
formed.
''Thwaite," in the ancient north
English speech, meant felled place;
that is. a spot In the woods which had
been cleared of trees. The word is
apparently of Morse origin. 1t is found
quite frequently in the old Morse rec
ords. and it's use among the Anglo
Saxons seems to have been confined to
Cumberland and the northern sections,
where there were Norwegian settle
ments and Morse influence.
Originally the name was simply a
phrase denOting place of residence.
This was. OF course. at much later
period than that of the introduction
of the word itself into the Saxon
speech, and accordingly as the Anglo
Saxon or Norman form was used the
name was "atte Thwaite.' or de la
Thwaite.' The variations are but
the development of original efforts
to describe specifically the kind of
''thwaites' at or in which people
lived.
Thus a "thornthwaite" would be a
clearing in which thorny plants were
growing. A "brathwaite" was a
broad" one. "crossthwaite" one in
which a cross had been erected. a
'goldthwaite" one in which yellow
flowers grew, and SO on

Stew slowly for ten minutes half 4

When my children give a party 1
make a special kind Of sandwich
they call the brown and white sand
wiches." To make these, cut a round
slice of wheat bread and one of Bos-
ton brown bread. In the center of
the latter cut a small hole with
thimble. Spread the white slice with
cottage or cream cheese, press the
brown bread over it and insert in the
rounded opening a cherry or olive.
Such sandwiches are wholesome as
well as attractive to the child's eye.
