39 PREDDIES ah, —_ “ § a RED, are your lessons ready?” ‘ No—o, mother. es: I quite meant to do them, but I put off last night to play with Will Dawson, and ” “Bred, did you 2@, write to your Cousin Madge about the book you eae promised her?” ‘ Well—I meant to, but I’ve had a lot to do this week, and I put it off, and so ned: I thought I heard you say Roy Benson was going to sell you his white rabbit?” ‘Yes, he was; but I shall have to do without it now. I put off seeing him about it, and he sold it to somebody else.” Need we say what Freddie’s fault is? His mother is having a bed-time talk with him on the subject. Let us hope he will profit by it. Off and Away. Cc
