UNDAY, MARCH 20, 1898. 81 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, BY MABEL S. HERMAN. Does it not seem strange about the et ey et O Ont and Fold It to See How Little Willie Smoked heads, small and round, called buds. But some bright morutag yoo will walk i ) i in the garden and you will see that Eal‘. A - 3 "t SR THIS TRICK PICTURE. these buds have gone away and have left their little babies all alone. These babies are the prettiest creatures under the sun. They are all in beautiful pink dresses. And you would laugh to see the busy bees at work going from flower to flower. It is strange about the buds and flow- ers. How the buds can burst open and send out blossoms that ‘always are pink—never blue nor any color save pink. It is a wonder that they do not forget. I wonder if any one could make a seed. Let us hurry over and seé how queer the berries are. Why don’t the black- berries sometimes forget and bear a cluster of raspberries And why do the violets wait until after sunrise to open? And when we plant a flower and wish it to climb up a fence, why does it not run along the ground? Now listen. A pumpkin vine was once climbing upon a fence. As I was walking by I heard a sweet voice say: 5! c “Little girl, do you wish to know how & the pumpkin on this vine grew sofine?” The owner of this vine is a farmer and he is very cross. So I make him happy by making the pumpkins the grandest in the world. People come from far and wide to get these pumpkins. He made lots of money, and I think I will let the vine die. But all of a sudden the stable door opened and the farmer came out with a gentleman to get some pumpkins. As soon as the little fairy saw the s Ny oL farmer she turned herself into a beau- tiful pumpkin flower and I ran away. Another day I went to see the vine, but When I got there I saw that the vine was all dried up. HOX ANT JACI( BECAME A L it bt aotare. THE, NAUGHTY: KITEEEN: upon her.
