Mrs. insome Bluebird was be- ginning to be discouraged. All the way up from the Sunny South where she and winsome had spent the win- ter she had thought ahout a certain house in the Old Orchard that she and Winsome had nested in the year before. she looked on that house as belonging to them. In a way it did. They had been the first to use it after Farmer Brown’: Boy put it up.

Mrs. Winsome. and love for gentla Mistress Spring. He could- n‘t be too unhappy even if they hadn't a house to move into. To- gether they went house hunting all through the Old Orchard. among the trees in Farmer Brown's door- yard, and even a little way into the Green Forest. It was over on the edge of the Green Forest that Mrs. Winsome made a happy find. She had stopped to rest in a tree on the edge of the Green Forest just across the road from the Old Orchard. She was a little tired. but more discouraged than tired. As she sat there listening to Win-

The Tiny Folkl

(A real story or real children for very young children) i

Suaan was so happy with the beautiful yellow kitten her Uncle Bob had given her. She had had it for two weeks now, and already it had learned many things.

One of the first things it had had to learn was how to drink. That had taken four or five days, but now it managed nicely. Mrs. Dale had said. "Susan. your kit- ten is just like another baby. it needs a little more than milk now. Here is part of a box of baby ce- real that I had for David. You can mix a little of it in the milk for the kitten." So each morning the kitten had cleaned up its saucer of milk and cereal and it was getting as fat as a little roly poly.

It liked to be cuddled. so each day Susan wrapped it up in her doll‘s blanket, sat on her little rocking chair, and sang songs to the kitten. David had tried to carry it by squeezing his hands around its neck, but now he had learned to be gentle. and to carry it properly. He wanted a kitten

“Novv, David. don't be so silly," scolded Susan.

“I think you'd better call him Sleepyheazi laughed Susan‘: mo- ther." That little kitten is al- ways wanting to sleep. It is just like Wynken, Blynken. and Nod."

Susan gave a little squeal. ‘‘That‘s an idea. Mommy. I know what to call it. Let‘s call him Winkie. He's always winking and blinking at me. How would you like that, little kitten? Would you like Winkie tor a name?"

The kitten uncurled itself lrom her lap, yawned, stood up and stretched itself. Then it looked right up at,Susan and winked! Susan laughed and laughed. He's pleased with his name. Mommy! See. he's smiling about it. Hello. Winkie."

And Winkie gave a big wink and a big purr. “Yes—s—s. I'm Winkie." he purred again and again.
