Bedtime Stories

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
angry. Never had Peter Rabbit seen
him angrier. His tongue ran on so
fast, and he jerked his tail so hard
and often, that after awhile Peter
began to wonder that both tongue
and tail didn't get tired out. But
they didn't. And all the time Snip
per the Crossbill and his friends
went right on shipping off the scales
of the cones in the big pine tree and
eating the seeds just as if there were
no such person as Chatterer.
Now, you know there is nothing III
the world so provoking as to be
treated as if you didn't exist. When
people take no notice whatever Of
others they are said to ignore them.

The Crossbills ignored Chatterer.
Now, he was angry in the first place.
He was angry because they had
come to feed on those pine seeds. He
is fond of pine seeds himself and he
was just selfish enough to try to
keep others from having any, al
though he knew there were plenty
for all. So, at the mere discovery
that the Crossbills were busy among
the pine cones Chatterer had fallen
into a rage. He had come rushing
over to pick quarrel with them
and they had refused to quarrel
This had AIDED to his anger. But
when they went right along with

him wholly, he became so angry he
almost choked.
When he found that all his threats
were useless, Chatterer leaped across.
to the tree where Shipper and his
friends with the funny bills that
cross at the tips were having such
a good time. He landed on a branch
on which Shipper happened to be
at work getting the seeds out of a
fat cone. With a squeal of rage
Chatterer rushed at Shipper as if
he meant to tear him to pieces, as l
have no doubt he did Shipper Just
calmly spread his wings and few

ting them or there would be none to
get. And so quite as abruptly As
Chatterer's noise had begun 1t
stopped. He was too busy getting q
share Of those seeds to make any
further fuss. Peace reigned once
more in the Green Forest, and had
you happened along just then you
certainly would have thought that
Chatterer and the Crossbills were
the best of friends.
How foolish" thought Petera
Rabbit, ito be selfish. Why couldn't
Chatterer have behaved in the first
place as he Is behaving now?"

disturbed. He just went right along
with his work as If there was no one
to bother him.
Then Chatterer seemed to 60 crazy
with anger. He rushed this way and
that way, leaping from branch to
branch wherever he saw a Crossbill
picking seeds from a cone, calling
bad names and threatening to do
terrible things. Every time the
Crossbill did just as Shipper had
done-f1ew to another cone ano

Chatterer began to grow tired. He
stopped to rest between his mad

to another branch, where he began
work on another cone just as IT
nothing had happened.
Chatterer couldn't leap to that
branch, so he rushed back to the
trunk of the one, up this and out
on the branch where Shipper was.
Inst before he got to him Shipper

driven him away from. At once he

But, at last, he began to get short Of
breath. You know it takes lot Of
breath to talk, and it takes a lot of
breath to run and Jump. So Chat
terer began to get short of breath.
BY and by as he rested he began to
think a little. He began to see that
he was only wasting time trying to
drive the Crossbills away, but he was
also wasting his breath in calling
them names and threatening to do
dreadful things to them.
Also Chatterer began to suspect

ground. Chances are at least 5o- 50 she will prove as pleasant Q person as you could wish to chat with. But for goodness sake, don't think of her as elderly.
 Now I considered that almost Q bouquet. But 1t only goes to show. Unfortunately, in the attempN to define dowager, had just opined that 1t seems too bad that corpu- lency should parade as dignity. That was all had against dow- agers as an institution.
 It seems was flippant, in- tolerably vulgar and in very poor state and the space given to my cheap comedy might better be de- voted to material of value to read- CTS.
 Just the same like 'em, going or coming, and if have offended one or given her even any em- barrassment I sincerely repent, for I tel you I like 'em, especially when they hold true to character and speak plainly at a time when bit of plain speaking is>indicated.
 Tn the article dealing with dow agers I quoted the rule formulated by life insurance statistician, that two years should be deducted from an indiciduals life expectan- cy for every inch ones girth ex- ceeds ones chest measurement af- ter the age of thirty-five.
 From my own experience I ir- fer that the doWagers who re- sented my remarks were annoyed particularly by the ruthless way I robbed them of years of life.
 A similar observation, also made by life insurance expert, was quoted here recently, to the effect that one may deduct, what was 1t, % minutes ? from ones life ex- pectancy for every cocktail or high ball, according to the experience of insurance companies in reference to the habits of policyholders. My allusion 10 this brought the usual shower of exaggerated instances to the contrary.
 Then still another observation, this one my own, aroused considerable animosity. I said that a person should deduct Q year or two from his or her life expectancy for every tooth lost by accident, disease or intention and not promptly replaced by n functionally efficient denture-- and I believe this rule is as sound as any "rule" bearing on health or life. My conviction Is not at all shaken by reports of freak instances of edentulous individuals surviv- ing, on feeble plane but unques- tlonably alive. to a ripe old age.
 Not that I derive any wicked pleasure from telling people they are taking the wrong course. But some one has got to do 1t, and I don't mind such criticism at all. An occasional quiet word from some reader who takes 1t as I mean 1t is ample compensation for my contribution.

dren want to wear masks. They are afraid to show their true feelings.
 But children grow out of this seriousness" you say. "Older peo- pie smile when they meet, express real joy under happy circumstances and say the right words"
 The older person is aware of what to register. He cannot control his feelings, always, but most of the time he can do so.
 This is the moral to be taken from 1t all:
 Never trust a child's face for his feelings. He Is as absorbent as a sponge. Nothing escapes him, oi her. They can suffer and not show It, or be happy and conceal 1t. The best we can do is to put ourselves in the place of the child and imagine how we would feel in the same cir- cumstances.
