No. 27—The Wooing of Jennie Brighteyes. LL the Mumsie squirrels in the woodland were just as indus- trious as Mumsie Brighteyes. All were building nest homes for the new babies that would come {fh oo“ April. All the Daddie squirrels in Daddy Brighteyes. one, They each had two or three™young sons and Billies and Jennies in. the woodland were just as gay as Jennie and Billy | Hrighteyes. They were frisking and, firting and sometimes, when two suitors came to woo the same maid, fighting. ‘ Many of Jehnie Brighteyes’s | friends had married and gone to) build homes on the estates of their jusbands, These estates consisted of a tree, where the nest was placed, and the space around the tree, where food enough to fed the family grew tn the rich soil. But Jennie Brighteyes was still at home with her parents. She and Billy were their father’s special charge these days und Mr. Brighteyes was inxious about her. Most of the dad- dies were sober about their re- ponsibilities, but 1 think that Dad- die Brighteyes was more serious than sny of the others. You see, Jennie righteyes was the belle in the wood- land, She had grown into one of the plumpest, brightest, most mischiev, us girls among the grays. Every every day Daddie Brighteyes thought it his duty to discourage them. “Rerr, Ree.” “There they go again. I wonder which one of those young squirels that is," ‘and Daddy Brighteyes popped his head round'to see Ned Nibbler up in the next tree. There was Jennie Brighteyes on a branch looking detached and there was» the wooer on the next tree rolling out bis love song while he kept his eyes fastened upon the lovely lady of his heart, “Rrrr, Rerr.” It was the love lay of another suitor. Jennie Brighteyes started to run along a branch. Tais encouraged the swains, Ned Nibbler jumped over.on to her tree quick as « wink. At the same moment Fatty, the other suitor, apy He too sought Jennie Brighteyes. The two vuffled up their backs and straigit- ened their tails. ‘There was going to be a fight. Two sets of sharp teeth would snap and the fur would fly. Jennie Brighteyes scampered silen up to a top limb out of harm's reach and nibbled on a tender bud. She did not even watch the quarrel. She did not care which one won, She would make a good, dutiful wife to the vic- tor whoever he was. Next story: The Winning of Jennie Brighteyes. The Child and the Bird. A child said to a bird one day, Where did you get your pretty voice? God gave it to me, my dear child. And then he flew away. ROSAMAY. FREUND, aged eight and a half, New York City. w iy Tick! Tock!

One day when I was going to school vnd the wind nearly tore me from my feet I met a'girl poorly clad and shiv- ering from the cold. I asked her her name and she told me it was “Helen.” In my pocket I had $1, which [ re- ceive every two weeks from my mother, Something told me that this Nttle girl needed the money more than I did. When I gave it to her she smiled as though she hatl received from some sheltering place. y 1 meet her and every day ;8 me, 1 intend to give her ny dollar every two weeks so that may not shiver when the wind rustles around her.

Realty Man ity Man Attacks vi lidity of Pennsylvania De- | cree She Received. Justice Gavegan, in Suprenté Court, will hear argument next Monday on @ motion made by attorneys for Leon Ottinger, brother of ex-Judge Ot- tinger, for a bill of particulars of the defense of former Mra. Ottinger to her husband's suit for divorce. Mr. Ottinger, a real estat& operator at No, 31 Nassau Street, names his former wife's husband as co-respond- ent. Mr. Ottinger’s attorneys insist that New York cannot recognize ser- vice in a divorce case by mail, and there is a further question whether, under New York laws, a husband can consent to his wife's beach of domi- Former Mrs. Ottinger, who now lives at No. 120 West 7ist Street, sets forth through her attorney, Daniel W. Blumenthal of No. 25 Nassau Street, that she obtained a divorce from her husband in the Pennsylvania courts nearly a year ago, when she married Ralph Lowenthal, a rubber man, who now appears in Mr. Ottinger’s com- plaint as co.respondent. Mrs. Lowen- thal, then Mrs. Ottinger, obtained her divorce on the ground of aban- donment. Mrs. Sylvia P. (Ottinger) Lowen- thal is the daughter of Louis Plaut, proprietor of a large department store in Newark, N. J. She alleges Mr. Ottinger locked her out of their apartment one day more than two years ago, and that she thereupon went to Wilkes-Barre, Pa, and estab- lished a residence there. Opposing counsel, former Judge Al- fred Steckler, who represents Mr. Ot- tinger, and Counsellor Blumenthal when ‘seen to-day refused to discuss the case Mrs. ‘Lowenthal alleges that she served her husband with summons and complaint in her divorce action | by mail. Subsequently, she says, she | surrendered her dower rights in val- |uable New York apartment house Properties. Mr. Ottinger failed to contest her action. A divorce decree was granted to her about six months ago, and she then obtained the Pennsylvania court's ap- proval of her second marriage. —_——__—_ HOLDS TWO AS BURGLARS.
