Bedtime Stories Welcome Robin Is Undecided. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Foolish deeds some folks abide In order just to save their pride. —Old Mother Nature. HE days were growing short. There had been days, and es- pecially nights, when Jack Frost had made his presence very much felt. Just now there were days in which you would not guess that Jack Frost was anywhere near. They were still days, when even Old Mother West Wind seemed to be rest- ing, and one would never guess that rough Brother North Wind ever blew. They were days when round, bright Mr. Sun did his best to spread warmth over the Green Meadows and through the Green Forest. It was the time of year that is called Indian Summer In some of the northern parts of the gountry. Most of the feathered folk who go o the Sunny South to spend the Win- ter were by this time either down there or well on their way. Welcome Robin should have been on his way, but he wasn't; he still lingered. Mrs. Robin and the children had gone. In fact, they had left some time before. Mrs. Robin had been surprised when ‘Welcome Robin had refused to start along with her. She had had consid- erable to say about the matter. “Don't be silly,” said she. “You know it is time we were starting along. We are late as it is.” Stemware, 12 Pieces Cut crystal stemware, including_ goblets, sher- bets and 3 sizes of footed wlasses. Chins Dept.—5th Floor.

Welcome Robin shook his head. “I'm not going yet,” said he. “You and the children go along, if you want to, and I'll follow later. The truth is, my dear, I wouldn't go at all if I didn’t feel obliged to. It does seem to me such a waste of time and energy to fly such & iong distance, and then have to fly back again. As a matter of fact, I sometimes envy those of our neighbors who manage to stay here all Winter. If I could find food enough I would be tempted to stay myself.” “That is foolish talk,” snapped Mrs. Robin. “The idea of even thinking of such a thing. You would freeze to death up here.” “You forget, my dear, that I did stay up here one Winter,” replied Wel- come Robin. “I had to stay that Win- ter, because I wasn't equal to the long trip and I managed to come through all right.” “That was a different matter,” de- clared Mrs. Robin. “You had to stay that year, but I can't imagine any Robin silly enough to stay unless forced to. The children and I are going to start right away. If you won't go with us, we'll go without you.” “That's what I want you to do,” re- plied Welcome Robin. “You see, I am still undecided. I want to look around a little more before I decide if I'll go or stay.” Mrs, Robin stared at him as if she e 11th and G Sts. Uil S~ Dol THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 925, 1935. doubted what she had heard. “You ter? I thought that you were simply undecided as to when to start.” “So I was at first,” replied Welcome Robin, “but the more I think of it the more I wonder if I couldn't live quite comfortably up here all Win- ter.” Mrs. Robin tossed her head, flirted her tall and called to the children. “Good by,” said she over her shoul- der, and off she started with the chil- dren following her. Welcome Robin watched them out of sight. Suddenly he felt a bit lone- ly. He was half tempted to follow. Pride wouldn't let him. “Anyway,” said he to himself, “there is no hurry. 1 can go any time. I don’t have to make up my mind right this minute.” He flew over to a certain swamp. Pluis Cedar trees grew in that swamp. He wanted to see what the crop of ber- ries might be like on those cedar trees. It would make a difference in reaching a decision as to what he would do. If there were very few cedar berries, he knew that he would not dare to stay, because he had no- ticed that this year there were few berries on the mountain ash. With plenty of berries on either of these two trees he knew that there would be no danger of starving. When he reached the swamp where the cedar trees grew he saw at once that there was & splendid crop of berries. There would be plenty, enough to keep sev- eral Robins all Winter. When he saw this, Welcome Robin was more unde- cided than ever, 8Should he go, or should he stay? (Copyright. 1935.) STREET IS RESTRICTED West Executive Avenue Made One-Way for Hour Daily. National Capital Parks officials to- day made West Executive avenue be- tween the White House and the State, War and Navy Building a one-way street during the peak of the morning traffic. Southbound traffic only will be permitted from 8:15 to 9:15 am. Traffic congestion at that point caused the new ruling, officials ex- plained. For many years there has been & movement afoot to have the gate posts at the northern end of East Executive avenue removed, but the posts” are still in place, cutting down the free movement of automobiles. lar Day TARIFF BENEFICIARIES AGAIN HIT BY WALLACE Secretary Suggests They Limit Share in Consumer’s Dollar to Pre-War Figure. % By the Associated Press.
