Sarah Page sounded just a bit too strong minded for the little mxul one accord they dmclrded; names made up of two parts, such as Cynthia Ann, Mary Ann, Dora Jane. Names that were rather dressy, like Esmeralda, Ethelwyn, Margaretta, they felt were not in keeping with the sturdy old English name of Page. Jokingly, Peter said, “Well, I am afrald we wili have to give it up.” He turned to the baby whom the nurse had just brought | in and said, “Sister Susie we can't find | a name for you at all, at all.” Nancy's eyes lightened. “Why couldn't | we call her Susan?

ROWSING among the leaves of old books, magazines and pa- pers, these tiny insects live un- molested for years. When by ckance you disturb them. you | are amazed at the scurrying creatures that rush across the pages Now the only way to get acquainted with these little dwellers in your prop- erty is to get yourself a good lens and take a good look at them. You have a surprice awaiting you. This is what you will see: A wingless, soft-bodied, plump little creature. She is a light yellow. She has long, quivering an- ennae, small, compound eyes and even k! But the look that she seems you as she lies under the lens! or a whilz ycu think you are actually gazing ot a large insect that cees you and wonders just what you are plan- ning to do. Her legs are large (for one of her size), she can move her well de- veloped head a bit, and she has very strong jaws and biting mouth-parts keep in good trim on it. They do not | hesitate t> eat the paper on your walls | and the surface of Great Aunt Jane's picture was “enjoyed by all.” The infants are mere specks, but they | resemble their parents. They have the | same taste for paper and glue. There are about 200 described species scat- In Brazil the largest species are found. Their name comes from a Latin word which means to gnaw. They are sup- posed to be capable of making a click- ing sound. In olden days they were called “death watches.” They are widely known and are quite capable of adapting themselves to being satisfied with the fcod at hand. In natural history collections they raise very large families and live in ease and comfort on the specimens hidden be- hind the great showcases. Should any of them rush about before your very eyes, you would think they were too infinitesimal to cause any damage Wwhatever. They have been known to attack hair mattresses and the family has reached the millicn mark. In fact the only way to get rid of them was to get rid of the mattress. 8o, in this case, even in numbers there was strength. Sunshine, airing and spraying will soon free the books from these little creatures. (Copyright, 1931.) Vegetable Dinger.

For an instant he hesitated, then he, too, kicked up his heels and darted after her. Away they went—lipperty- lipperty-lip —leaving Mrs. Peter alone. Molly had forgotten her completely and the handsome young Rabbit hadn't even seen her. Mrs. Peter sighed wistfully “That's what come of being young in the moonlight,” thought she. She hesi- tated a moment or two and then crept into th.2 bramble-tangle to wait She didn't have to She heard a light thump, a thump she rec- ognized.

Peter sat up so_as to sl off his best. “I'm sorry I'm s little iate,” said he. “Won't you come for an- cther lttle walk?” “I'll be delighted to.” said little Mrs. Peter demurely and stepped out of the bramble-tangle.
