TINE first May queen was bum

other fruits and flowers. She is a
vigorous soul. For has she not sur

wears plush coat, hair shirt and leg

sheltered from the wintry blasts. Upon
her depends the future of her species,
and she Is a lady not to be interrupted
in her duties. So when you hear her
coming, her bass voice can be heard

Madam Queen energies when the

a long tongue, a fur coat that will
hold pollen busted upon it by flower
hostesses, and upon her hind legs
capacious pollen baskets!
When you see her flying low over
the fields and meadows, she is inspect

~ N THE edge of the dear Old
Briarpatch Peter Rabbit
I turned and sat up to look
~ back. In the dusk he could
see two figures running toward the
Old Pasture. One was much bigger
than the other and close on the heels
of the latter. The bigger one was
Reddy Fox. The other was the big
strange Rabbit who had taken pos
session of the dear Old Briarpatch
and brought so much unhappiness to
it. He had done his best to drive
Peter away and he had abused little
Mrs. Peter Now Reddy Fox was at
his very heels, and he was still long
way from the Old Pasture. Would
he get there? Peter didn't watch to
find out. In the first place, the dusk
prevented seeing far. In the second
place, a voice just back Of him said
softly, "Oh. Peter!"
Peter turned to find little Mrs. Peter
peering anxiously out at him. Peter
hoped in until he could touch noses
with her. "Oh, Peter!" she said again.

He has gone all right" chuckled
Peter.
1T mean. do you think he has gone

that's what you mean" replied Peter.
Just where he has gone don't know,
and I don't want to know"
Wasn't it lucky that Reddy Fox
happened to be right where you ran
out?" asked Mrs. Peter.
Peter chuckled. Very lucky" said
he.
Weren't you terribly frightened
when you discovered that Reddy was
hiding there?" Mrs. Peter asked.
Once more Peter chuckled. Not Sc
scared as the other fellow was" said
he. You see, knew Reddy was there
all the time, but that other fellow

March released today by the National
Broadcasting Co. The figure COM
pares with 315,118 for the correspond
ing month in 1885.
The steady upswing in N. B. C..
audience mail over wider period was
indicated in figures released for the
first quarters of 1885 and 1886. In
the first three months of 1885 the
total was 1,218,253. For the cor
responding period of 1886, ending in
March, the number was 2,186,043.
Officials of N B. C. estimated that
more than $4,000 was spent on
postage for the letters sent to the
broadcasting company last March.
An interesting sidelight of the mail
analysis was the fact that almost so
per cent of the record mail was in
response to daytime programs, and
that a majority of the letters were
written by women.

wage as many tricks as possible. with

cause Of his prompt double in the
range of two, based only on Easts
reopening bid.
His plays to the second and third
tricks were the aces of clubs and dia-

out giving the rest of the play, South
succeeded in taking but five tricks,
represented by his three aces and the
king and queen of trumps, and was
