 'We'll do the dishes when we're through. That is the least we can do. If we had not come to this farm, just think what we would miss!"
 The farmers wife just smiled, and said, Right now, you'd better go ahead and satisfy your appe- tites, while everything is hot.
 You may be so tired when you're through, no dishes will you want to do. I'll have to wash and dry them by myself, as like as not"
 Then Dotty shouted, "Wait and seei You always can depend on me. Right now, I'm going to eat my all. Then I'll be set to work.
 "The others will do all they can, till everything is spic and span, That is. except wee Duncy. I've q hunch that he will shirk."

 The farmer answered. Don't you fret! A nice, fat leg you all shall get. You see, we cooked two chickens, so you all could stuff and stuff"
 As Duncy held a chicken in his hands, the others saw him grin. No wonder. It looked very good. Let's go," they heard him shout.
 Just then big dog jumped right up. It must have been hungry pup. It grabbed the bird, ere Duncy knew just what twas all about.
 "Go get him." shouted Scoutv Gee, he couldn't play that trick on me-" Then Duncy jumped up to his feet and yelled, Come here, you hound!
 Just cause that chickens mighty fine, you cannot eat it up. It's mine!" And then the Tinies laughed to see him chase the dog around.

a simple arrangement of Fairy Queen
carnations, and in the red parlor SAL
mon pink carnations filled the silver
vases on the end tables. AS is the
custom in this administration, the blue
room was divided by screen Of palms
and ferns, the hosts standing before
the screen to receive their guests. In
the great windows of the room were
white azaleas and ferns. and on the
mantel white carnations. Silver
bowls, filled with carnations, stock and
ferns. graced the long buffet table,
from which fruit punch, dainty cakes
and candies were served. Making
striking background for the table was
the huge mantel generously banked
with ferns. In the long red corridor
and lobby and on the staircases lead
ing to the state suite and to the
