11.. jolly big April" sun was really ,muing this morning. and the chil- iren on Playtime Lane were smil- mg too. lt was so warm that their mothers had allowed them out without snowsuits and mittens. lt gm so good to be out without their heavy clothes that they all ielt like running and jumping. They were tearing up and down the driveways. iumplns off the back step! and racing around just lik the new lambs out at Uncle Bob's.

Susan and David raced across me xield to Laurie’). Frisky met them half way and ran back with them, his ears ﬂapping as he ran.

"Laurie. we haven't got our snow suits on." Susan called out. “Isn’t it fun to be out today?"

Alyce," agreed Laurie coming to meet them. “You can see the ":5; getting green. Our yard is my now. and Mommy said I could soon take out my tricycle."

"I calrtake-out my carriage," .;.ld Susan. "I must run home and

t it."

"-1 ‘.5 wagon too." said David at he started along the path. --come, Laurie. come play at my house." The three children walked Mg behntl the other across to the Dale house with Frisky at their heels.

Susan was in the house for a jaw minutes. while David and Laurie went to the garage to get David's. little wagon. It had not been used since last fall. but they found it in the corner: and pulled it out. Just then Susan came out the door. ..ushing her doll carriage vcizv carefull)'- _

--sh, 311," she whispered. plac- ing her finger on her lips.

"Your doll can't hear." said Laurie. “Why do \ve have to be qulet?“ *

"It's not Margie Lou that I have in here." said Susan. "Just stop softly and peek in.’-' Laurie went over. peeked under the hood. and grinned. There was Winkle. Susan's little yellow kitten, fast asleep in the carriage.

"David get Big Pandy." said David running into the house. Back he camrwith the big black and white panda that was half as big as he was. He put Big Panda in his wagon and walked on pulling it behind him.

Laurie looked a little lonesome. for he had nothing to haul or push. Then he had an idea. “Come on back to my place." he said to the other two. and back they all marched.

Laurie went into the house and came out with his big metal dump truck. He had tied a piece of heavy cord to it. and. sitting up as big as life was Ginger. all slean and pretty from the bath

THE FEATIIEE CHASE

If you make a game of work,

air. will very seldom irk.

——Skimmer the Swallow.

Skimmer the Swallow and Mrs. Skimmer had hunted,high pndr lovi for white leathers uith which to line their nest. Mrs. Skimmer wouldn't be satisfied with any- thing but white feathers, and in that neighborhood there were no white feathers. They had l-€arch- ed in every barnyard fer a long distance around. They were begin- ning to be discouraged. What should have been fun had become real work. They wouldn't have minded if only they could have found it few of the feathers they wanted.

"Don't you think some other leathers would do just. as well?" asked skimmer plaintively.

“No," said Mrs. Skimmer short- ly. “I want white feathers, and we're going to get them some- where. There must be some around that we've overlooked."

A day or two later Farmer Brown's Boy came out of the house. He knew that it was about time for the nest of the swallows to be finished. and he knew their liking {or white leathers. He had found in the attic an old feather pillow. From it he had selected a few white feathers. These were soft and downy around the base. Now he held one of these feathers

Laurie had given him yesterday

“Isn't this fun?" laughed Susan. “Here we are. Each one of us has some thing to haul or push. Come on. let's make a parade."

Mrs. Page smiled to herself as‘ she looked out the kitchen window at the three children marching round and around the old apple tree. They were singing as they went. ‘

“Round and round the mulberry bush ; The monkey chased the weasel. I Why don't you leave my tail alone? I Popl goes the weasel."

I guess Frisky is supposed to} be the weasel." she thought to herself. "He's at the tail end of the march, but you can be sure that where the children are, he‘

is too." l

That was the beginning of a merry ‘chase. Just as he was about to catch it the Merry Little Breezes would snatch it away from him. Mrs. Skimmer joined hint. She was just a trifle quicker than he was. Or perhaps it was that she want- ed that feather even more than he did. Anyway, she caught It and joyously carried it back to the house. Meanwhile. Farmer Brown‘a Boy had set another feath- er alloat in the air. The Merry Little Breezes failed to blow this as first, and it slowly settled al- most to the ground at the feet of Farmer Brown's Boy.
