The shadow of Brooklyn Bridge and the fast approaching sunset of a chilly November jay made the youngsters of the district hustle to gather in the night's supply of wood before dark. I saw the driver of one of the number- less motor trucns to be seen at all times in this section take a big bundle of wood from his truck and place it on the sidewalk for the three small boys who tagged at his heels. * * * One of the boys grabbed an end of the loose rope that bound the bundle and started to drag it toward home. The other boys demanded a division. Un able to agree, they started to fight. Other small boys gathered around. 11 were intent on the fight. * * © A little girl watched her oppor unity, gvabbed the rope, pulled the wood and was some distance away when the boys discovered their loss 1 expected to see a spirited chase, but the girl was recognized as the sister of the boy who had been drag- ging the wood in the first place. He took one look at her and ‘said: “Don't that beat anything? Aw, come on, let her have it, I'll help youse fellers find some more.” And so, the fight forgotten, the three partners set out on a new hunt for firewood.—Charles ©.

Anxious mothers dashed out to the sidewalk and followed the course of the flying things, which the capricious north wind finally dropped in a snowy mass near the corner house. * © * From the shrubs and lawn we gathered the harvest, Individual garments were easy to identify. There is one article, com- mon and plain but necessary, in quantity lots for baby’s comfort, which begins with a “d" and ends in the washtub, It speaks well for the much disputed fairness of women that, when the division of these was made on each one's statement of what she had, no one was short.
