HASBROUCK APLAX Winnie had to serve afternoon tea in a cozy retreat 'neath the old liiac tree. So she took both her dolls, and her tea-set so gay, and arranged all her things in the prettiest way. "Other guests I must have?who will share in the treat? I'll ask the two Kittens who live down the street." She sent them a note, and received a reply?a mere scratch?but it said, they would come by and by. And soon they appeared, with bows on their hair. Their faces were elean, they had washed them with care. Their manners were gay, but not a bit rough; and the names that they went by were Muffy and Fluff. They sat up politely; when Winnie asked how they'd prefer to have tea, they both answered, "Me-ouw." And all of a sudden, from right over head, "Me-ouw!"' and "Me-ouw!" a voice mock mgly said. And every time after the poor Kittens spoke, they were echoed by some one who thought it a joke! Then Muffy and Fluff arose in a huff, and said of this party they'd had quite enough! They left right away, without saying goodby, pursued to the last by that insolent cry! And Winnie was really perplexed and distressed. She .'ouldn't think who would so treat any 'guest, till a fiirt of a wing in- the old lilac tree informed her the sinner a Cat-bird must be! She did what she could to take him to task, but now she is careful, when planning to ask any Kittens to parties, to have them inside, where the rude, mocking Cat bird can't injure their pride!
