ran in and asked me to come out

As we walked down the path
to the Summer house, Bobby said:

"They have a great. big black

they were savage in their play
with that beetle. Upon my word,
1t appears az II they were really

go right up to the beetle and
caress him with its feelers.
'I believe you're right after
all, Foxy Grandpa" commented
Bobby. We'll watch now and see
what happens
Diligently Bobby watched for
days, and every day he would
give me the same report after
his investigation when he would
say:
Foxy Grandpa, that beetle
hasn't been eaten up yet. He's
still visiting the ants. They

we told him about the beetle.
Bunny, who had been making
speeches at the convention. said
in his best public speaking tone:

that, gentlemen. Are you not

often keep beetles as pets?"

DERHAPs II the phrase max

coined. most OF NJ would

cred with friendship. You can't
make friends with any more sue

Knonds.
Dynamic friends are very likely
to push away the friendship they

off by the sheer eorce OF your i'm

Gcnletimes q friendship grows
because Of congeniality OF tastes.
But It takes q while to discover
those. Frequently friendships are
based on mental sympathy. But
you have to get below the sur
face Of q mind in order to make
sure that you are going to like
its actual contents.
Next time you feel hurt because
you haven't found a lifelong
friend in someone who attracted
you on sight, or who proved an
interesting companion for an
evening. stop and realize that
flowers and friendship don't
spring up in an hour.
The other day q delightful little
boy Of three was brought in to
join the guests for dessert at a
birthday luncheon which his
mother was giving for his aunt.
"Say I congratulate you, Aunt
Gladys. Say 1t, Teddy. BE q good
boy and congratulate Aunt
Gladys" urged the hostess. For
