When you select your new

a dress like that. Instead select

like very much to have your advice
on.
You see. during the summer we
became very well acquainted with
two boys whom we liked very
much and who in turn liked US.
We went steady for quite awhile
until a girl who was jealous of us
began telling these boys things
about US which, of course, weren't
true.
This separated US for about
three months. Then the other day
my former boy friend saw US and
asked us to go for a ride. We

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

As Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk
stood gossiping on the Green
Meadows a rollicking song caused
them to look up. On quivering
wings in midair was the singer. He
was dressed very much like Jimmy
Skunk himself, in black and white.
save that in places the white had
a tinge of yellow, especially on the
back of his neck. 1t was Bubbling
Bob the Bobolink. And how he did
sing! 1t seemed as if the notes
fairly tumbled over each other.
AS Bubbling Bob dropped down
into the grass, Jimmy Skunk raised
himself on his hind legs in order
to see exactly where Bubbling Bob
disappeared Suddenly Peter re-
membered that Bubbling Bob's nest
is always on the ground. Peter
had forgotten all about this when
he had told Jimmy Skunk that he
was not likely to find any eggs On
the Green Meadows.
You don't happen to have seen
Mrs. Bobolink around here do you,
Peter?" asked Jimmy, trying to
speak carelessly.
mo. And if I had I wouldn't tell
you where" retorted Peter. "You
ought to be ashamed, Jimmy Skunk,
even to think of taking the eggs
Of such beautiful singer as Bub-
bling Bob"
"Pooh!" replied Jimmy. whats
the harm? If I just happen to find
those eggs he and Mrs. Bob will
simply build another nest and lay
some more. They won't be any the
worse off and will have had good
breakfast"
But think of all the work they
would have to do to build another
nest" cried Peter.
II should worry" retorted Jimmy
Skunk. ANY one who can spend
so much time singing can afford
to do little extra work"
You're horrid, Jimmy Skunk!
You're just horrid" declared Peter.
Il hope you won't find a single egg!"
With this Peter once more headed
for the dear Old Briar Patch, while
Jimmy Skunk ambled toward the
place where Bubbling Bob had dis
appeared in the long grass. Peter
went only short distance before
sitting up to watch Jimmy Skunk.
Just before Jimmy reached the place
where Bubbling Bob had disap-
peared the latter mounted into the
air again, pouring out his rolhcking
song as if there were no room in
his heart for anything but hap
piness. Then he saw Jimmy Skunk
and became very much excited. He
flew down into the grass a little
farther on, and then up again and
began to scold.
1t looked very much as if he had
gone into the grass to warn Mrs.
Bobolink. Evidently Jimmy thought
so, for he at once headed that way.
Peter grew anxious. Presently he
started out for the dear Old Briar
Patch. Just before he reached it
a brown bird who reminded him
somewhat of Mrs. Redwing ran
across in front of him and then
flew to the top of a mullen stalk.
1t was Mrs. Bobclink. Just see
Bubbling Bob lead the robber away"
she chuckled. isn't he clever?"
