Madame Ladybird Gives a Garden Party
Part I
Madame Ladybird was evidently a
leader among them, for they all clapped
their wings when she arrived and called
out :
"Speech! speech!"
; "My friends," said Madame Ladybird,
"I am glad to see so many of you here.
Make yourself at home and eat all you
wish. When these tables are cleaned
there are other bushes just as full of
aphids.
"This garden is certainly in a bad fix.
Sammy Slacker didn't really mean any
harm when he went off to the country
for two weeks and left things to take
care of themselves. He's back now, and
he feels very badly about his garden.

, here today to see what can be done."
"Good! good!" laughed all the Lady-1
birds. "We're working as hard asvwe
can."
"This would .be a good place for you
Golden-Eyed folks to make , your
cradles," said Madame Ladybird.
. "Your babies will have plenty of food
here when they come out. Besides,
you'll be doing the garden a service."
; "W'ell do that," said my companions.
When" Madame Ladybird had. been
served, she took her place in the center
of a large 1e"af to receive the other Gar
den Friends as they reported. '

By and by several wasps who had got

they were great with the bayonet.
They, too, were allowed to help them

The wasps, having finished their

It is on the success of the referendum
in the various states that tbe wets are
hopeful of defeating national prohibi

referendum is provided, and that such
matters must first be submitted to the
vote of the people, that the United

upon to decide. - . ,
