The Makee ellieve ireil. E gs HEN I was a little girl I loved to peek into birds' nests and see the beautiful colored eggs. My com- panion was a girl younger than I, whose name was Laura. VVe would climb trees, wade through tall grasses and look in every nook to limi nesis. Of course, we would never touch or harm them in any way. It was an endless delight to find and admire the eggs. One day, as we were playing, we saw some pretty green grass along a garden fence and we decided to make nests in it. After we made several, Laura wished we had some eggs to put ' them. She suggested small stones in as a substitute. I obiected strongly to to this, thinking it would be a disgrace the birds if some one passing thought the ugly stones were bird eggs. Then I remembered that the grocer- boy had brought Mamma a big sack of beans that morning. XVhy not color some of those and put them in the nests? I suggested this to Laura and she thought it a good idea. she came to our gave us some beans. VVe colored them and, my! - they looked fine! XVe went out to the garden fence, taking them along with The next morning house and Mannna Can You Mary D. with a well-prepared Geom- etry lesson? Sylvia catching a real beau?

Clyde becoming fast? Adrienne having only one date a week? us. and after making two nests es- pecially for these wonderful we put them in. The nests looked just like real birds' nests, only the eggs were much smaller. The next month we returned to see the nests and. low and behold! thc beans had started to grow, just like those in Jack and the Beanstalk. But as they weren't magic they didn't grow quite so high. XVe were delighted with the thought ot' having a little garden of beans. My class at school had been study- ing plants, so I suggested that we pull back the grass that was around the beans so they could receive the heat of the sun's rays and grow better. The next time we went to see the beans we couldn't find them any place. I was surprised and Laura looked fool- ish and pretended as if she didn't know anything about them. At last she admitted that she pulled them up, wrapped them in a cloth and put them in the stove so thev could receive plenty of heat and grow faster. I was a little disgusted at first, but then I realized that she had not studied plants as l had, so explained to her that beans had to have their roots in the ground in order to grow. M.
