OUR PETS
"Our two little bantams are Buoh darlings. There is a hen and a rooster, and the ben is so tame that she will hop on to your knee and feed out" of your hand. The rooster will, too, but he is not quite so perky as the hen. Their names are Jack and Jill. When Jill lays an egg, either in the old doll's pram or under the hedge in the gardens, she crowa very loudly, as if to say 'I am very clever, for I have laid an egg.' When we hear this, we know she has given us an egg, so we run and fetch it, much, I believe, to Jill's annoyance." GLADYS HARVEY. Miramar.
