Haircut, Please!
HOW A BARBER'S INATTENTION CAUSED A TRAGEDY Bertie Bunny was going to t-ea with just tho sweetest little lady bunny you ever saw. He was so excited. "Upon my whiskers," said he, "I must look my best to-day. 'lhere, I think that suit will do very well; and now for a nice trim haircut." Off he scuttled to the. barber's, cot hold of a jolly newspaper, and settled down to be made beautiful. But, alas,
for poor Bertie; he forgot tliat barbers sometimes like funny stories, too, and, indeed, this particular one became so engrossed reading the jokes over Bertie's shoulders that he snipped and be snipped ever so absent-mindedly, and he snipped a perfectly bald place on poor Bertie's bead! Of course, Bertie dared not risk the girls' titters at the party after that, and it was a very sorry little bunny who scampered home and tried to forget how everybody else was enjoying themselves at Burrow Villa that afternoon.
