I've always wanted it ever since I looked in a mirror and saw the stubby little thing on my end, It's really only an excuse for a tail', she moan- ed as she sat on the very edge of the back veranda looking down on Pokee, who was rummaging around in the roots of an old Bos- ton ivy which grew in a misshap- en way up the roof of the veran- da. "Well, you "Oh my, as well be satisfied with what you've sot', Pokee said as she stopped her grubbing long enough to look up at Fudgee. "You know as well as 1 do that there is a war on." "On what?' Fudgee asked. "I haven't the faintest idea what it's on, or where it's on, IT just know it is on", Pokee sighed. "Dribbi said there's a war on and things are awful scarce", she con- tinued. "So you haven't a Goat of a chance of getting a new tail." * "It isn't a Goat of a chance; Po --it's a Ghost of a chance you mean", Fudgee corrected her. might "Well, Goat or Ghost--it makes no difference--you won't get your fluffy tail because things are scarce. Why, we can't even get canned Dog Food any more because there's no tin to make cans to put it in. That's why we have to eat that terrible awful 'dead hydrated' stuff. "0h", giggled & Fudgee, "Oh goodness, is that why we have to eat that -- that -- that nasty old stuffing. It really isn't fit for a human to eat" "Well Pixilated Alligator", Pat- sy chimed in as she joined her two daughters on the back ve- randa, "You'll eat it and like it before we're through with this here war.

MERRY to try and buy and if they a roast, havew't a god-sized parcel with them when they get back -- she's leaving home in a hurry. "Oh they wouldn't: eat their own dog would they?" Pokee asked as she came up the steps to sit 'by Fudgee on the veranda. "Surely they're not carnivals are they?" "No, they ain't cannibals, if that's what you mean", Patsy answered. "But they must have some food, mustn't they?" "Yes of course they must" Pokee agreed. "But why dont they go around to the garbage "Oh Po -- you mustn't admit that you're a Garbager. That is a low-down trick and not befit- ting to one of our station", Fud- gee said in a very dignified tone. "I don't, know what station you're talking about", grumbled Pokee, "but I do know if I were hungry I'd 'be a. garbager and scrounge food before I'd eat Dribbi or Joe -- imagine eating your own people!" a "I hear tell [they do strange things when a war is on", Patsy said. "Oh yes, they do", agreed Fud- gee. "Did you see all those men marching yesterday with broom- sticks over their shoulders and dressed in brown suits all the same? Well, they're in the war: I guess they couldn't buy stheir blue suits any more and had to take the brown ones. Likely they were all they could get." "Those were khaki uniforms", Patsy explained. "That was a parade". "A parade?' Pokee asked. "A parade? -- Why, I didn't see any clowns, and there certainly wasn't any Santa Claus. A funny parade, if you ask me!" "It was an army arade", Patsy said. It's all part of the war, you see. I heard Dribbi say that our Joe had been in: to see if they wanted him in the Air Force, and they don't. He's too big to fit in a plane. So he went to join the army. Dribbi says we'll all be in it in a week or so!" "well, we all have our forms", said Fudgee. "Yes, and the right color, too," Pokee added. "I suppose we'll have to have parade too", Fudgee continued. "Maybe we'd better practice a little right now." "You two can parade 'if you want", Patsy told them, "but I'm uni- going garbaging to hunt for bones. I'm going to bury as many bones as 1 can. It might be a, very hard winter ahead. A bone in the ground is worth two on a bush", she' mumbled, as she] The Snow. Man By MAX TRELL THE snow man had been get- ting smaller and smaller. For the winter was slipping away, and each day the sun shone brighter and warmer. "I'l be going away soonm, too", the snow man told all his friends --the sparrow, the squirrel, the chipmunk and the rabbit. He tried to warn the children that in a day or two, perhaps the very next day, he would be gone. But though he spoke to them as loud- ly as he was able, they didn't seem to hear him. And that was too bad; the snow man was very fond of the children. It was they who had stood him up in front of the house, just in front of the back steps between the two pine trees. 'What bothered the snow man most of all was what to do with the hat that the children had given. him to wear. It was quite an old hat. But to the snow man it was beautiful. It was teh first hat that anyone had ever given him. He wondered whether the children would come and take it off his head before he went away. He didn't want to go away with it, of course. He wanted them to take it back; take it back and save it for him in case he ever came back again, which he hoped he would next winter. Couldnt Hear Him But they couldn't hear what he said. So he still wore the beauti- ful old hat. And tomorrow defintely tomorrow--he would be going away. It was late that night, in the moonlight, that he saw Knarf and Hanid, the shadows of the children. "Hi!" he called to them. "Come over here, please!" Knarf and Hind, being the shadows of children and not real children, heard the snow man very plainly. They hurried over to see what he wanted. "Im going away tomorrow morning", he told them. "I won't be back until next winter, per- haps not even: then." Knarf and Hanid were sorry ,that the had to go away. "Please do try to next winter, though," "The children will 'be very appointed if. you don't." "If really isn't up to me, you understand," the snow man ex- plained. "Nothing would please me better than to be sure that I was coming back. It all depends on whether there is snow next winter or not. If there's no snow, I won't be able to come." And then the snow' man told Knart and Hanid about the hat. they. man said snow. come back said Hanid. dis- Beautiful Hat "I can't take it with me," he Was Shrinking He Got Smaller as the Sun Got Brighter The Snow Man and his Friends don't want it to be blown away. It's a beautiful hat." 4 Knarf was about to say that It was a very old hat. But he saw that he would be hurting the snow man's feelings, so he didn't say anything except: "We'll take care that it isn't blown away, Snow Man." "Take it now, said the snow man. "Take it off my head and put it in a safe place so that the children will find it in the morn- ne" But 'Hanid said: "You can't stand here at night without a hat on, snow man. We'll come down for it the first thing in the morn- ing. Just leave it right here." "Ill have to leave it on the ground," the snow man said; "be- cause when I go away, I go down into the ground. Ill melt away right under the hat. Youll find it on the ground. Ill leave a present in it." Well, it rained all that night. It rained all the next day, and the day after, too. Knarf and Hanid, looking out through the window, saw the hat on the ground. The snow man himself had gone. But they couldn't go out to bring the hat in, and neither could the children. But on the third day the sun shone. The children and Knarf and Hanid all ran out to get the hat. The snow man had gone all Hight. But there was the present under the hat! It was a clump of growing violets, the first flowers of spring! Income Tax Worries? Tax Returns of all types made up. Reasonable Rates G. D.
