Farmer Browns Boy suspected Flip the Terrier of stealing Black Pussy's milk each night. Mother Brown was sure that Flip had noth- ing to do with it. In sT;,G of the fact that Black Pussy had grown more and more thin, Mother Brown was certain that she got her big dinner just the same. She insisted that Flip had no chance to get it. However Farmer Browns Boy wasn't satisfied and decided to keep an eye on Flip.
 T have it,' said Farmer Browns Boy to himself. "Tll take Flip for a walk about the time that Black Pus- sy's dinner is put out in the shed for her"
 So that evening Farmer Browns Boy whistled to Bowser the Hound and Flip the Terrier and they took q long walk down on the Green Meadows When they returned Farmer Browns Boy saw at once that Black Pussy's dishes were emp ty. Black Pussy herself. however, was nowhere about. Presently, she came from the barn. She rubbed up against one of Farmer Browns Boys legs, arching her back and purring and saying "Meow!" It was the way she had always done when she was hungry and was teasing for something to eat She acted exactly as if she hadn't had a mouthfuI. Farmer Browns Boy went into the house and got her q saucer Of milk. It seemed as if Black Pussy couldn't lap it up fast enough. Her master watched her and he was doing some hard thinking.
 "Black Pussy certainly didn't get that dinner tonight" said he. "Nei- ther did Flip nor BoWser the Hound. But somebody got it. It was some body of whom Black Pussy is afraid. It must be somebody from outside. It must be somebody that goes in through that round doorway that We made for Black Pussy, l think I'll have a look at that doorway. Per haps I'll learn something"
 He went over to the little round hole by which Black Pussy could enter and leave the shed. and care fully examined the edge all around, In a moment or two he picked up something Rather, he picked it from the edge, It was q hair. lt was much longer hair than one ot Black Pussy's. Furthermore, it was hlack-and- white. Black Pussy's hair is you know, all black, Farmer Browns Boy grinncd.

Getting Well
By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

By ALICE HUDSON PEALE
 When a child is sick his sickness is the most important thing abou. him. In concentrating upon it we are likely to forget about him.
 At least part of the care of a sick child is mental. We must make things pleasant and comfortable for hlm for the sake of his illness, but for his own sake we must not make his illness so pleasant that the life o. an invalid offers him too many qualifications.
 We must guard against making him feel that being sick is source achievement. We should make him more interested in getting we'll than in prolonging his status as a pa- tient.
 If there is an unusual show of af- lection. if brothers and sisters are made to give in to his whims, if he is receiving the entire attention ot the household. it is not to be won- dercd at that he is reluctant to re- lnquish privileges that under no other circumstances can be his.
 As he gets better we should find ways of reminding him of all the pleasant things he can do as soon as he gets well.
 Our attentions and solcitude can gradually diminish as he recovers so his invalidism will become less and less satisfactory and the thought of being just himself again more and more alluring. It is likely that at least one req son that some children frequently enjoy i'll health is that their moth- CTS take such pleasure in having them sick.
 To those women who have little other outlet for their energy or emotions. such situation has suf- ! ticient compensation to cause them 1 unconsciously to cultivate invalid ism in their children.

Mother Browns Great Surprise

New Britain herald., 1930-10-23
With Heart Gladdened by Dicky's Approval and Praise for Her Success in Staging the Party, Madge Takes Up New Task.

As if he divined my doubt, Dicky stood looking quizzically at me with eyes half closed in teasing way he has.
 Well! old dear" he said at last. You sure turned more than one trick tonight. You slung the swell est party that's been seen around these here parts for vars and vars, and you perched old Phil Veritzen upon steel girder that'll keep him teetering for some hours to come"
 The tension of my nerves relaxed, for his tones were wholly approv- ing.
 You mean" I faltered banally.
 That you struck exactly the right note when you asked him what he would say to that offer of Cameron's if Mary were still a po- tential Veritzen star. It stretched him out right along the limb where he'll have to stay unless he wants to leap down among the clamoring hounds below"
 I laughed at Dickys collection of mixed metaphors, and he froWned with mock solemnity.
 Don yoh mak no game ob me, Woman" he adjured me. and l put the question which l had been wait ing 10 ask him.
 What do you think of that offe: Of Cameron's?
 If I didn't see old Phil's fine Italian hand behind it, I'd be in- clined to consider it seriously. But anything that old lads sponsoring where. so I think we'll say thumbs down. don't you?"
 I've been thinking the same thing" I told him. careful not to let him see how delighted I was at his decision. I knew that he was not so enthusiastic over either the Yer itzen stardom or the Veritzen mat rimonial alliance for his niece, as was, and did not think it wise to stress the faint hope, almost van- ished now, 1 had cherished of re- conciling the elder Veritzen to his sons choice of brides
 Then we surely cant get into an argument over that" Dicky said grinning at me and then stretching his arms over his head and yawning undisgusedly.
 T don't know how you feel about it." he said. but it's the hay for mine immediately"
 I'm going to bed myself very shortly" l said. q have to jot down a few memoranda for tomorrow's . shopping"
 T thought you said you hid it all done"
 T said the presents all were bought. But I haven't the dinner decorations completed I've looked ali over town for the things I want Tnd I can't find them" Dicky frowned suddenly. - What are you triyng to do,. beat -old Phi. at his own game?' he de- manded. T don't mind you're doing jt sometime, when we're giving icrmal dinner. but Christmas time you'd only make yourself look Ridiculous. You can't combine a turkey dinner with orchids you knoW--"

 "I am getting this half-starved Cat something to eat" replied Farmer Browns Boy.
 Something to eat" exclaimed Mother Brown. why. that Cat has cleaned up a plateful of food and a saucer of milk already" Farmer Browns Boy merely smiled.
