out in the open and following

with her soft eyes glaring with
terror.
I'll bet that cheetah's on their
trail" gasped Bunny.
And at that very moment out
of the jungle leapt the leopard,
with blood in his eyes and his
mouth watering at the sight of
his prey.
He was almost in front of US,
when Bunny said:
Put your foot on your self
starter, Foxy Grandpa"
Chug, a, chug. a, chug! spurted
the engine with such a bang that
the old flivver almost shook to-
!. pieces. And with the very first
chug, want to tell you that that
cheetah, who was only few feet
away from US, gave one howl,
jumped in the air, like an old
Tom cat when you throw water
on him, and went tearing back
through the woods from where
he had come.
Then how Bunny did laugh. He
just stood there holding his sides
as he said:
Hell never get those deer"
"How did you think OF it. Bun
ny?'' l asked.
II think the idea originated In
my left hind foot" said Bunny,
stroking his whiskers.

-MrS. Cornelius Beeckman-
Wedding Gifts

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
II Is it proper to give an cleo
trio iron, toaster, or anything
electrical in that line for we'd
ding present? know these
things are useful, but I am in
doubt as to whether it is proper.
r. e. p.
TOR a very close friend these
4 gifts would be proper, but l
think that l should hesitate to
give them to a friend whom I
did not know very intimately.
There are certain gifts-and
usually they are the ones that
are most needed and most APP
preciated-that it is best to talk
over with the bride to see If these
are what she wants. Since this
type of gift is so utilitarian, it is
just what the bride wants to start
the everyday detail of her home.
But since, too, these gifts repre-
sent the things that she must
plan for first. she would want to
know that she can plan on them.
There is a chance here for much
duplication, too, and this talking
it over with her will avoid that.
Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to
answer questions on etiquette
submitted b. readers.

woman spends ten months of her

the age of six, in which year she

thirty. This same statistician
