well off," retorted little Mrs. Peter,
"and that is more than you appear to
know. If you spent little time taking
care Of the children and teaching them
the things they should know instead
of leaving it all to me you wouldn't find
1t dull here. I never yet have seen a
home full Of children that was dull for
those who looked after them properly"
Peter hastily changed the subject.
"Have you seen the Bob White family
lately?" he asked.
NO" replied Mrs. Peter tartly
What have the Bob Whites to do with
the subject?"
Nothing" confessed Peter. II just
happened to think of them and won
dered if they had been here lately when
happened to be away"
Just then Mrs. Peter Spied one OF
the bunnies outside the Briar- patch
and hastened after him. II wish," said
Peter. talking to himself as he watched
her, that something would happen to
drive her out of the Old Briar-patch.
What we need Is q change. Everybody
needs it. There Is nothing SO stupid
as sitting around in one place. Yes,
sir. wish something would happen so
that we would have to get out OF this
place"
Now Peter really didn't mean that
at all. 1t was merely an expression of
his discomfort. And it was a very good
thing that little Mrs. Peter didn't hear
him say it.

Bird Singing.

"HERE is a general belief that
the Autumn birds go through on
their migrations without sing
i ing. and it is largely true. But
there is certain amount,
happily Of bird song, even at this time
of year, and if you listen sharply you
will hear it.
Naturally, with a long journey to
undertake, and no courting to be done,
birds, like humans, do not waste their
breath in a great deal Of caroling and
twittering and cajoling and rhapsod-
izing. There Is little in the weather to
make birds feel tuneful, either. And
yet, of fine Autumn day, the white
throat sparrow utters few wistful
notes that poignantly recall the happi-
ness of by-gone Spring.
Some of the white&hroatS are on
their way to more southerly retreats,
but many remain, and are just settling
