(A real story at real children g far very young children)

Mrs. Page had taken Linda and i Laurie to visit Aunt Belle and his three couains, Anna. Brenda and Lynne. That always meant lots of excitement. noise. and fun. for no five children can play without making a noise, and it seemed that Laurie and Lynn could make more than their share.

"Here, Laurie, you go out and do your chasing and playing out doors," ordered his mother. "We don't all want headaches by sup- per time. so off you go."

With shieka of laughter Lynne followed Laurie out of doors, cal- ling back. "We'll play hide and seek. Brenda can come and finds us."

As soon as Brenda and Anna had finished the dishes, they were free to play too. Brenda went out with the two little ones, but An- na came over to Linda and said. "Will you come with me, dear.'."'

"There, Linda, you go with An- na." urged Mrs. Page. Fifteen month old Linda hesitated a inin- me or two, but at last put out her arms to Anna, who proudly carried her off to play with her. She took her outdoors to watch the game of Hide and Seek, but Linda wasn't too happy that far from her mother so they came back in. Brenda came too, for she wanted to play with the baby as well as Anna.

"Let's play

in our bedroom," suggested Anna "You bring in Lynne's high chair. Brenda, and we'll put Linda in it."

The baby was quite contented in it. so the two girls decided to play Beauty Parlor. Anna took her little brush and brushed Linda's golden hair until it glistcned.

"Why don't we put our barrettcs in her hair?" spoke up Brenda. "Here are two pretty pink ones made like little teddy bears. Fasten one on each side."

Linda held her head perfectly still while Anna fastened the bar- rettes. "They look just sweet!" exclaimed An n a, and Linda's dimples flashed in a brief smile.

"I found two yellow ducks. Put them in too," said Brenda passing them over.

"There's no room in the front." objected Anna.

"Then I'll put them here in the back," and Brenda did just that.

"Oh, the blue basket clip with the pretty flowers would look cute," said Anna. "I'm going to put those in beside the pink teddy bears."

"Well, if you are, I may as well put these red ones made like scis- sors in the back of her hair" laughed Brenda. "It's just as well she has so l.iuch hair."

"Isn't it too bad there's only one of these sparkly ones with the sil- ver and blue stones," sighed Anna.

"Use it anyway. Put it right in

DUSTER CHUCK DECIDES TO STAY

A mind made- up is a mind at

rest. Alas, how few are the ones so

blest. Old Mother Nature.

A little way up in a tree in the Green Forest sat Buster Chuck. He climbed up there to get away from Buster Bear. In a crotch a little below him sat Prickly Porky the Porcupine. It was Prickly Porky who had prevented Buster Bear from climbing after the young chuck. Now the two were beconi- lng acquainted.

"Would you like to stay in the Green Forest?" asked Prickly Porky.

"I don't know. I might if I could find a safe place in which to live in a part of the Green Forest where I could find enough to eat," said the young chuck.

"I can show you a place where you can live," said Prickly Porky.

"Would I be safe from Buster Bear?" asked the young chuck.

Prickly Porky slowly nodded his head. "Yes." said he, "you would be safe from that fellow. About the food, I don't know because I don't know what chucks eat. If you learn to eat the same food that I eat, there is plenty. I never went hungry in my life. Whenever there is a tree I can get plenty

the middle of her bangs," said Brenda. Anna fastened it. and the two stood back looking at the baby

"Let's put Mommy's necklaces and bracclcts on her," suggested Anna, darting over to the dresser to take out the box where her mother kept her jewellery.

Linda's smile deepened when she saw the box. She reached for the box and lifted out a strand of red beads and put it around her neck. She had always loved to put on necklaces. The two older girls chattered and giggled as they fastened strand after strand of beads around the baby's neck. and put two bracelets on her arms.

Just then her mother came in to see what was going on. How she laughed when she saw all the barrettes in the baby's hair. "One. two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine," she counted. "I'm sure there never were so many clips on one head before. She has almost a barrette for 'every hair. And look at all the jewellery! You may as well put a sign on her saying, "Linda's Jewellery Store." But it is supper time so come along as soon as you et them taken of'f."

That evening, when the Page family were leaving for home. Linda darted back to the bedroom and came out carrying two neck- laces and a bracelet. ' i '-

''Oh no, pct. You can't take them home," laughed her mother. "There now, Anna, since you dressed her up this afternoon she thinks she should wear them all the time. Come along, Linda, you can play next time you visit Aunt Belle.

of food. You see, I live on bark, tender twigs and leaves."

"oh," said the young chuck. "I don't think they would do for me. I have to have tender green food. Where did you say that place where I can live is?"

"I didn't say," grumbled Prickly

"I can show you a plane where you can live." laid Prickly Porky.

Porky. "I said, I could show you one. But I don't think I'll both- er."

"Why not?" asked the young chuck a bit wistfully.

'”Because you haven't made up your mind whether you want to live here or not," said Prickly Porky."

"Yes, I have." replied the young chuck. "I am going to stay. I must stay."

"Why must you stay? Nobody will make you." replied his prickly neighbor.

The young chuck grinned. It was a sickly sort of grin. "I've got to stay because I don't know how not to. I can't go back if I want to. There are too many trees."

"Your mistake," grumbled Prick- ly Porky.

"What is my mistake?" young chuck wanted to know.

"you said there are too many trees. There are not too many trees. 'I'he.rc couldn't be too many trees," declared Prickly Porky.

Prickly Porky was quite satisfied to stay where he was. He wasn't uncomfortable. You see he spends most of his time in trees.
