chosen as a little prize recently.
For 7! more expensive prize you
might select some sort of baking
dish of the sort that can be put in

table. Hardly any housewife has
too many of these.
A little pepper mill to place on the

would surely be appreciated by any-

11‘ was a. my bird with patches of
pink about its head, and it hated
Freddie like poison. It was the
property of Freddie's Aunt Lavinia,
a crabbed old apinster who intended
making Freddie her heir. 80 Fred-
die had to go carefully with .Aunt
Lavinia—and Bobo.
Aunt Lavinia was going to the
mountains for two months that sum-
mer, and Freddie was making the
preparations for her.
"Freddie." said Auht Lavinia, "I‘ve
decided to let you take care of Bobo
while I'm gone. The mountain air
doesn't agree with the poor darling."
Freddie gasped.
"I shall tell Parkins to leave the
key of the front door under the mat.
and when you leave your oil‘lce the
day I'm gone you'll come in and
take Bobo”—the bird had no cage.
but fluttered about the room. roost-
ing where it listed. to everyone‘s
horror except Aunt Larinia's—"and
take Hobo home with you. The dar-
ling must be a good boy and go with
nice Cousin Freddie." added Aunt
Lavinia. shaking her finger at her
pet.
"Squaw-awk!" said Bobo with a
glance at Freddie of lnei'i'able con-
tempt-
Freddie promised—what else could
he do'P—and. leaving the office—he
_ had not. been able to get away to ace 1
Aunt Lavinia to the station—went
to her house, where he found the
key under the mat, as Parkins had
left it.
Entering the room where Bobo
was confined. a dreadful sight met
his eyes—or. rather. failed to meet
them. Bobo was gone and an open
window explained how he had gone.
but not where. He had undoubtedly
become alarmed at his mistress' de-
parture and tried to fly after her.
Freddie beat up and
stmet. inquiring of everybody if they
had seen a parrot. They laughed at
him or answered in appropriate sar-
casm. At last. hatless. breathless.
desperate. Freddie returned.
If Aunt Lavinia returned and
found Boho gone. she would un-
down
doubtedly cut Freddie out of her
will.
A. longpsoiiloquy that night, and a
return next day in the vain hope
that Bobo had returned, brought
Freddie to a. decision. He would
buy a_substitute parrot and teach it
what Bobo knew.
It was a color very easy to dupli-
cate. and a visit to a large dealer's
left Freddie in happy possession of
a parrot in every way a. duplicate
of the missing one. even to the tem-
per. And there was nowno danger
of Bobo‘s returning. Either it was
lost and flying somewhere within a
radius of many miles or it had been
found and adopted.
Freddie moved surreptitiously into
his aunt's house. and thereafter
every spare moment was devoted to
perfecting the new Bobo in the Eng-
lish language. He ascertained that
it had no bad habits. It certainly
did not swear. In fact. it had never
learned anything.
All Bobo‘s pet phrases were re-
lentlessly repeated again and again
in the new Bobo's ears. And Fred-
die decided to take his vacation dur-
ing the period of Aunt Lavinia's‘de-
pnrture. and devoted himself to his
task during that entire time.
At the end of Aunt Lavinia's peA
riod of absence Freddie‘s labors had
been crowned with success. Bobo II
could sing the first verse of "My
Country. "l‘is of Theta." He knew all
the little phrases that Aunt Lavinia
had taught his predecessor. And
Freddie had taught him to take
sugar from his lips and to kiss him.
A note came from Aunt Lavinia:
the;
"'Am returning on the 10th. Come
'round and see the old woman that
evening, after she has rested."
. It was the first letter Freddie had
freceived from Aunt Lavinia since
her departure, and it said nothing of
Boho. it was clear his aunt trusted
him. And. looking at Boho on his
perch. Freddie felt confident Aunt
Lavinia would never learn the de-
l ceptlon.
lie went around, blithe and confi-
dent.
“Dear Aunt Lavinia, it's so nice
m 3" ynu again." he said. "VVeil.
don‘t you think I took care of Bobo
while you were away? “‘e got to
‘ho great friends."
"Indeed?" asked Aunt Lavinia
coldly. "So that explain; my dis-
covery of another parrot in my
house!"
"Another?" gasped Freddie.
"Oh. your duplicity is unmasked
loolorsf I decided at the last mo-
iment to take dear Bobo with me."

By INEZ

an hour late, for an appoint-

to the metrics now. because we
couldn't possibly get a. seat. so stay
here and let me tell you about Baby
Peggy.
“Her New York visit has upset a
lot. of people besides me. It's not

brought up. You know, Jackie
Coogan is so grown up in a lot of

which was taken to the Foundlings

for the children. She spoke to thou-
sands ot children at a big depart-
ment store. and then spoke over the
radio; had the time of her life talk-
ing—just. rambled on and on. and
her parents could hardly stop her.
"But I was telling you about the
way she‘s brought up. She has
never had a penny; her father does-
n't believe in talking to her about
money. or giving it to her: he feels
that she ought to know that she ll
have what. she needs and let it go at
that.
"And you ought to see how she
minds him. They say that's one
thing that got her into the movies—
that she us such an obedient child.
I wish you could see how she minds!
“She simply loves to dance. Her
sister Louise. who is older than she
is. has taken dancing lessons, and
when she practices Peggy goes
around behind her. imitating what
she does. It really is acreamingly
funny. Peggy sings for both of
them. Her gesture! are rare. to say

SUNSTONE
HE suns-tone, or topaz. is to-

dispel doubt or nil-giving for those
who are fortunate enough to possess
it. Falling on the sun's day. as it
does. its power is much increased.
and no baseless worry can last with-
in the circle of its golden rays.
For those whose birthday this is.
the natal stone is the opal, a gem
which i frequently looked upon as
unlucky. An old legend is connect-
ed with it to the effect that an evil
fairy is imprisoned within it. and
that. only when the wearer’s tears
fall upon the stone can the fairy be
freed. However, the superstition
can have no effect on those whose
birthday. it. is: to them it brings
good. not bad luck.
For today the color is gray. It
was but little used by the people of
olden times. and really belongs to
modern days. It is indicative of
steeds-sums. and is aid to exert
