You can sit here and fish and see a polo game most any afternoon, or if you do not care for ‘that you can watch the swimmers at the Tidal Basin. Then, :too, you can see the Washington Monument, the Long { bridge, _ across the Potomac, the i amphitheater at the Lee mansion in | Arlington over in Virginia.

But 1 write about it because all ~ | summer long there is always a fight for a good position by the motorists to get near this place. There is always a breeze off that point for some reason and along about 5 o'clock there will be found a number of “sixty-minute campers,” who bring their dinners with them. The road that leads past it runs around the Polo Field. Col. Sherrill has made it a one-way drive.

Striped Chipmunk was up and out very early in the mornings. He al- ways Is. He fis an early riser. He believes in getting up early and go- Ing to bed early. .He says that sun- shine is to make people happy and he doesn’t_mean to iniss a ray of it. Perhaps this is why he is‘one of the Happiest of all'the-little people Who wear fur. He feathered neighbors sing and he likes to sing, too. ' “Happiness is catching,” says Striped Chipmunk. “If you are happy let people know it, and the first thing you know they’l} catch it and be appy. too. 5 B the first thing that Striped Chip- munk did was to sit on top ot the highest stone in the old stone wall along one side of the Old Orchard and sing. At least he called it sing- ing. It may not have been musical. but certainly it was a merry and I happy_ sound, good to hear. Every one who heard it knew at once that the singer was happy. Striped Chip- munk did this every morning and many times during the day. Peter Rabbit, on his way home to the dear Old Briar-patch, heard that song and suddenly changed his mind. “] haven't seen Striped Chipmunk The box spring is the final achievement in springs for beds ‘The 72 highly-tempered coils I 1nthe Conscience Brand Box Spring respond to the least movement of the body noise- lessly.
