"IBUE BLUE IN ALL THINGS'

3884. NOTICE BOARD. “Golden Bell” asks for a pen-pal about 14 years of age. One interested in Film Stars. “I HA VENT SEEN ANY OF THE MOUSE BRIGADE FOB A LONG TIME,'' SAYS “MOUSIE McWHISKER.” Dear Wendy,—lf I don’t soon write to you, you will be thinking the big black cat has caught me.

Don’t bite the teacups into bits Or overturn the table. “And pray remember not to get Into a naughty passion; Be careful also of your hats— They’re of the latest fashion. “Don’t laugh too loudly, and don’t sit Grimacing at each other, For you will taste the rod, my boys, If you disgrace your mother.” With drooping ears each piggy hears, And ea'eh one falls to sighing. “We meant to have such fun. we did— Now, really this is trying.” The youngest winkod his little eye And whispered to his brother, “We’ll take good care to sit somewhere Not quite close to our mother ”
