THE BLUE MOON 53 ately Mischief's head drooped. With his tail between his legs, he made for the kitchen stove. ' Now Mischief's greatest fear and abhorrence was the fly-tox sprayer. Twice Mrs. Housekeeper had sprayed him with it for fleas. Mischief watched Mrs. Housekeeper, with the sprayer held menacingly in front of her, advance slowly to where he lay cringing behind the stove. Mischief, where haue you buried Jimmie? Mischief shivered. 'iAnswer me! and she pushed the sprayer nearer him. Mischief looked at her implor- ingly and started toward the door. Mrs. Housekeeper followed him over to the lilac bush, and stood over him, while he slowly dug up the limp and panting form of the almost suffocated Jimmie Stocking. A dog's point of view, since it is dominated by a person's will, is very easily changed. Mischief was overjoyed at the timely rescue of Jimmie and dashed off around the house to tell his adventure to anyone who would listen. In the meantime, Jimmie, whose little heart was nearly bursting with gratitude, willingly turned inside out in preparation for his weekly visit to Mrs. Washtub. BARBARA KECK, 1933 THE WAY OF ALL FLESH MISS EASY-LED sat in front of the crackling fire, book in hand, and spectacles on nose. Almost every evening one could find her in this position, for reading was her favorite diversion. The scholarly undertaking was suddenly interrupted by the precipitous entrance of three of Miss Easy-led's school friends, who were well liked, but often disapproved of. Their names were Miss Gad-about, Miss Pleasurelove, and Miss Leisure. As Miss Easy-led reluctantly put aside her book, Read Much and Learn Little. Miss Gad-about rushed at her as if she were afraid someone would tell her news first. On the other hand, Miss Pleasurelove dove for the candy box on the table, while Miss Leisure stretched herself out on the sofa with a pyramid of pillows at her back. My dear! gushed Miss Gad-about. 'iHave you heard the news? It is just simply too ravishing! Do you know that divine man I met at the prom last week? Yes, l'm sure you do. Well anyway, it's just simply too thrilling! And I've gone around to all the girls to tell them the wonderful news, and it's just too wonderful for words! Of course, you weren't at the prom, but you must have heard me speak of him. You know, Mr. Know- the-world is his name, and he's just too divine! Well anyway, here's the news. He's asked me to go to the dance at that new dance hall, Money- wasted, and you have to pay ten whole dollars to get in! Isn't it just simply too ravishing? And now that you have finished that, came a muflled voice from the sofa. how about telling her about us?

54 THE BLUE MOON Oh yes! He's going to get two of his friends to take these kids, too. Isn't it just simply too - This is good candy you've got here, interrupted Miss Pleasurelove. How about handing some of it over here? drawled Miss Leisure. Well, we simply must be going, said Miss Gad-about. There are still some girls I haven't told, and it's just too thrilling to miss! And if you should ever want to go places some night, just call me up and I'll get you a boy. Well, toodle-oo. What's your hurry? queried Miss Leisure. Come on, said Miss Pleasurelove, hastily grabbing a handfull of candy, there probably will be some more candy at Greedy's house. And so the three girls left Miss Easy-led. Miss Easy-led sighed and picked up her book, but somehow it had lost its flavor, and she put it down again. Would it be wrong? I wonder-- Her meditation was rudely interrupted by her mother, Mrs. Boss-all, who wanted to know what those unprincipled, good-for-nothing young nobodies wanted. i'Nothing, was the enlightening reply. i'Humph! Mrs. Boss-all rearranged the sofa pillows, and picked up the candy papers scattered on the floor. Mother, Miss Easy-led ventured, it isn't very wrong to go out with boys you've never met, is it? Well, I'm sure no child of mine shall ever do anything so disgraceful, even if she's an old maid all her life. You get back to your book, I've got to look after supper: it's burning. Miss Easy-led sat still a moment in the light of the glowing fire, forgetful of burning suppers, of candy papers on the floor, of disordered sofa pillows, and of tyrannical mothers. Then with a hasty look around her, slowly, timidly she stretched out her hand toward the telephone. HARRIET COLEY, 1933 ,illll A DEVOTED COW A BEFORE I was born, my parents bought a little calf named Bessie. While I was still a baby, Bessie used to take care of me. After wiping her hoofs on the mat outside the door, she would come softly into the kitchen to see if I was awake. If so, she would moo gently, whereupon my mother would put me into my carriage and attach it to Bessie's tail. Then she would trot carefully out the door, down the steps, and into the meadow. After spreading a blanket on the grass with her horns, she would lift me from the carriage with her teeth, and place me on the blanket. To amuse me, she would make queer noises with her tongue while chewing her cud, and, if any of the other cows came near me, she would walk around me in circles to keep them at a distance. When I tried to take my bonnet off in cold weather, Bessie would remonstrate
