he hasn't travelled far since then"
"All right" cried Chatterer. IF
you want to see some fun hang
around where Prickly Porky is.
Buster Bear has promised to teach
him a lesson for being so care
less with those little spears of his.
Buster is pretending to look for him
now, but he's taking great care not
to look in the right place"
Chatterer snickered and Bobby
Coon grinned. Then he yawned
once more and started to climb up
to his doorway where he could see
what was going on.
Chatterer scampered along after
Buster Bear so as not to lose sight
OF him. BY and by they met Sam
my Jay. Sammy's sharp eyes saw
right away that Chatterer was up
to some mischief. He could tell by
the way Chatterer was acting. He
knew, OF course, that it was some
thing to do with Buster Bear. Sam
my flew over to the tree in which
Chatterer happened to be resting
for a moment.
Whats up?" demanded Sammy.
Chatterer chuckled. Then he told
Sammy Jay all about it, and sug-
gested to Sammy that he tell every
body he met, and ask each one to
offer to guide Buster Bear to the
place where Prickly Porky was.
Sammy Jay flew away First he

made sure of just where Prickly
Porky actually was. Then he hur-
ried this way, and hurried that
way, through the Green Forest and
over the Green Meadows telling
everyone he could find just where
Prickly Porky was and how, if they
should happen to meet Buster Bear,
1t would be very nice and polite to
offer to lead him to Prickly Porky.
Meanwhile Chatterer was passing
a similar word along to everyone he
saw. Among them was Peter Rab-
bit. At first, Peter didn't see through
the joke He kenw exactly where
Prickly Porky was and he couldn't
quite make up his mind that it would
be right for him to lead Buster Bear
there to give Prickly Porky such
terrible shaking. He looked up at
Chatterer with a worried expression.
He would be glad to do Buster
Bear favor, but he didn't want to
be the cause of any harm to Prickly
Porky.
Suddenly Chatterer snickered, and
all in a flash, Peter understood. He
remembered that never yet had any,
one dared lay hand or paw on Prick
ly Porky. The spirit of mischief
crept into Peters own eyes and he
hurried after Buster Bear.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

When Buster Bear heard that Of
fer of Chatterer he didn't know what
to say. He knew that it probably
was true that Chatterer did know
just where Prickly Porky was. But
you know it was true that, despite
all his threats, Buster Bear did
not want to find Prickly Porky at
all. So now he groWled something
in his deepest, most grumbly rumbly
voice and kept right on his way
to places where he knew he wouldn't
find Prickly Porky. What he said
Chatterer couldn't understand. But
he could understand, and did un-
derstand, Busters actions, so he
chuckled wickedly.
Keeping Buster always in sight
from the tree tops, Chatterer tagged
along behind. All the time he kept
a sharp watch for other little peo-
pie of the Green Forest. AS they
passed near. the house of Bobby
Coon, Chatterer ran over and poked
his head in at the dooryard. Hi
Bobby!" he cried. do you know
where Prickly Porky is?"
Bobby yawned sleepily, for Chat
terer had just awakened him. "I
know where he was when came

HATS IN THE THEATER

Dear Mrs. Post: Recently !
went TO concert. People around
us wore those funny little hats
sitting high on their heads and did
not remove them during the con-
cert. Consequently l sat through
the entire program without seeing
the artists. My question is, should
these women nave worn their hats
in the first place, and since they
did, shouldn't they have at least
removed them?
Answer: The funny little hats
tied on one eyebrow, with their
strangely complicated and elabor-
ate arrangement of veil, are cer-
tainly not very practical to take
off and put on in public. l agree
with you that they should not be
worn st concert or the theater
or anywhere else where they might
ohstruet the view. and therefore
interfere with the enjoyment OF
others.
