Show daddy rs eve 1 1 1 anity tale BOWER i V kumf I 1 BILLIE BROWNIES DAY everyone was waiting to hear about the day billie brownie had had and odthe of the things he had seen we are waiting they all shouted sa as soon as he arrived but cennie bennie brownie said first of all you roust must have your supper and none of us will ask you any questions while hile you eat I 1 know of some who ho will get people to do all the talking and then because they re not through eating will act as though they were terribly slow and those who ve been talking and doing the entertaining will have to say that they have had enough that always seems so unfair to me to get some one to do the talking and then not give them time to eat in comfort without making them feel they re holding everything back and that they should be through so billie brownie had a fine hot supper and everyone else told him Brown leland news but no one asked him a question the others had tin fin dished their supper before billie arrived and bennie had had it kept hot for him in the Brown Brow leland nieland magic warmer af after ter billie brownie had quite fin dished bis his supper the brownies gath ered about him and billie told of hia his day first of all he said I 1 saw two little ponies waiting to take a wagon load of children for a ride the wagon was gayly decorated and there were seats on either side but the little boy whose father owned the ponies and the wagon was having a talk with the ponies before 0 having a talk they started he ile had his face close to each pony s face in turn and they all did look so happy the two well ca cared for ponies and the little boy and I 1 knew there was going to be a jolly ride soon so that was a very pleasant sight then I 1 saw a merry go round in a big cart standing on a city street it was as not a big hig merry go round such aa as there alhaj s is at a county I 1 lair air but it wag was a nice little merry go round and the city children were having lots ot of tun fun then I 1 saw four chow dog dogs s on a little porch which ran along outside of 0 tour four city windows window overhead or rather even with the windows was an elevated railway and the dogs were always watched by the people who rode in the elevated for they spent most of their time out on their porch and indeed tt it was strange to see dogs walking along on this high porch every once in a while going in one of the four windows which seemed to be open at all times the dogs looked at the people rid ing by in the elevated trains as though to say pretty noisy in the city and the noise Is not because of dogs r then I 1 saw that dog who also lives to in the city and who sits with his h head ead and his paws out of a window on the second floor of a house from where he looks up and down the street iia alwais looks so interested interest ec 1 in what he sees and as though he were vere almost about to say why I 1 wonder what mrs birs so and so Is doing out so early this morning I 1 and gracious but they re all back from market soon today today as I 1 passed where he was tt it had already begun to rain and he be was inside of the window the win flow dow was closed but he was looking out just the same his face close to the window pane that dog Is such a wise understanding looking dog I 1 in sure be he thinks just ever and en ever er so much I 1 and tl en ell I 1 saw a sign outside of a city where there was a great deal of traffic always from automobiles it was at the outskirts of a suburb and the sign read that were requested to arh drive e carefully ani ant duals so read the sign could not speak so the sign spoke tor for them in asking the automobile drivers to be careful I 1 thought that Y was as such a nice sign it I 1 ad been put up by a hu n ine then I 1 heard a little girl asking it if she could be allowed to ride an elephant in the circus and she was told that the elephants I 1 ad all been spoken f r in advance and that they had en ell every evening and every n with those who were their regular riders and I 1 had a look at a circus yes that was tie great ad adventure denture of billie brownies brow ale 8 day and oh the circus parade was grand 1 i BA A s ant |
