Beauty is Doubtful

By Thornton W. Burgess

Whene'er in doubt the wile are slow,

Deciding on the way to go. -Reiiuty the Wood Duck

Beauty the Wood Duck was swimming about uneasily HI We pond of Paddy the Beaver. deep in the Green Forest. He was waiting for Mrs. Beauty to te- turn. She was house hunting. They had been doing that for several days and had been unable to find one. Mrs. Beauty had gone off for a last look. Beauty had been too dlscoiiraged to go with her.

”She ixoiiit find anything," said Beauty to Paddy the Beaver. ”Wc'll simply have to move on Ionieulicre else."

.Iu-;t thcn. Mrs. Beauty came euifiiy out from among some fair- ly tall trees. Beauty heard her voice befc c he saw her. "She's excited." thought he. "l wonder if she really has " und something."

when Mrs. Beauty landed on the matter beside him he knew before she spoke that she brought good

"i think." said he. ttyou are in too much of a hurry. my dear." "l'ie found a house," she cried.

"it is a queer house, but it is

of all, it isn't too far from here.

Come tin with me and I'll show

it to you."

Of course. Beauty followed her. She led him straight over to a km: in a tree. "What do you think nf thaw” she cried. She disap- peared through a doorway and then popped out again.

Beauty was r ispicious. Beauty long ago learned that it is wise to be suspicious of things that are new and of which one knows no- thing about. Mrs. Beauty went back in. then poked her pretty head out again. "Come on in!" she cried. "You cant tell any- thing about it until you've seen it inside."

But Beauty was still doubtful. He wasn't taking any chances. "I think." said he. "you are in too much of a hurry. my dear. You don't know anything about this place. I've never seen a house like that before. It may be all right. i'm not saying it isn't. But

"You say that. my dear, but you know very well that we can't be too careful where we make our home. The best house in the world might happen to be in the worst plac in the 'vorld. A neighborhood is as important as a house itself I guess it is more important. i would 'll.llCl' have a poor house in a good neighborhood than a fine house in a poor neighborhood. We want it neighborhood that is safe for the Di-L-kliiigs when they come along." said Beauty.
