TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY HER: MARCH 7, 1015.
The Busy Bees
G C
MARCH ushers In the spring, according to the calendar, although
now often covers the ground still at this time of the year. An
arly harbinger of the spring Is the return of the birds from
the southland and first among them Is Hobln Redbreast.
When the robin Is here, the other birds will be coming
'soon. Some will stay, but some will only stop on their further Journey
north. Just long enough for us to get up a bowing acquaintance, If we are
i watchful enough.
Busy Bees should plan to take particular notice of the return of the
birds this spring and to acquaint themselves with their habits. It is true
that bird books will tell you many fascinating stories of them, but It is
' ever so much more Interesting to hunt around yourself and see the true
j bird stories for yourself. Then you may compare your own eiperlences and
knowledge with that gleaned from other folk's bird lore.
This week, first prize was awarded to Burt Veirllng of the Red Side;
second prlxe to John Sauser of the Blue Side, and honorable mention to
Elizabeth Simmons of the Red Ride.

Although Margaret's folka were very

That afternoon a very nicely dressed

Valentine Party.
By Mary Orevlon, Aged 13 Years. West
Point. Neb. Blue Bide.
I want to tell you about the valen
tine party I gave, so if you want to, you
can have one Juat like It. I wrote the
Invitations on heart shaped pieces of
paper that mamma ani brother William
and I cut from plain writing paper and
touched up with gilt paint I took them
with me to school, and handed them to
the girls and boya in my class. This
Is how the Invitation read:
On Monday night from six to nine,
Pray come and be my Valentine.
Pleaee brlruj along your scissors small.
For I have not enough for aiL
We had made tha dearest little caps
for the boya of circles of white tissue
paper, cut In half and the curved edges
pasted together and little red hearts
pasted on them.
We had heart-caps for the girla, too,
but they were made of pink paper with
gold hearts on them, and dear little
necklaoas of red hearts, strung on rib
bon. I wore my white dress, and had
big red hearts pasted on It. Brother
William waa dr eased as cupid and he
looked awfully funny.
First we "Hunted the hearts." Mamma
had made a Uttle one of red flannel
like a pin cushion. AU went out of the
room and some ono will hide the heart.
"In plain sight," then she or ho will
say, "My heart Is gone and I'm for
lorn. Who'll be the first to find It T"
Then they all will hunt for it, and who
ever finds It, can hide it again.
Next we had the outline of a boy and
one of a girl drawn on a sheet hung up
on the wall. The girla blindfolded, are
to try to pin pink hearts to the place
on the hoy'a body, where hla heart really
should be, and boya pinned red heart on
the girl's figure. The one getting near
est will win a prise. Won't It be funny
If a girl pins a pink heart to the girl?
Then she will be an old maid. If a boy
pins one on a man old batch for html
Then we sat around the table and made
valentines. That's why they had to bring
scissors. Kuch had a aheet of white
and a aheet of red paper given them, and
a penotl, too I almoat forgot and they
had to make cut-out valentines, and
write verses on them. The three best

It was a dreamy day. The bees were

Donald lay on his back on the big lawn

ants for about an hour.
Just then Donald heard a voice saying,
"Come with me, Donald, and I will show
you all the wonders of our land." Don
ald looked around In surprise. "Who,"
thought he. "is speaking?" The ant, for
Indeed It was an ant, said, "Look down,
my small friend, and you will behold the
speaker." Donald looked and sure
enough there was a small, red ant at his
elbow.
"Why." said Donald, smiling, "my silly
llttlo friend, I am so much larger than
you I cannot get into your small hole."
"Silly am 1?" questioned the ant, "we
shall see. You will see."
The ant darted away. He returned in
a few mlnutca with a much larger ant
"This is," he said, "our king. He can
make you small."
"But, first," said a gruff voice, "you
must swear that you will not reveal our
secrets to those detested Mortals."
"Oh," said Donald In shocked surprise,

"I'm only in and I never swore In my

"That's right, my boy, that's right. I

"Oh," said Donald, much relieved, "I
promlae, yes," he added, dubiously, "I
promise."
"If you do." aaid King of the Ants,
"you, too, will become an ant."
"One, two, three, reverse," said tho
king, and Donald was an ant.
The king led tho way. Soon they came
to a very dark passage. It seemed a
long way to Donald, but It was really
nine Inches. They found themselves next
In a room where there seemed to be a

I was among them and It seemed they
were trying to kill him.
Donald and the king did not wait to
see the fight concluded, but went to see
the other wonders of this land of won
ders. Now they came to a small square
room, which seemed to be a store room,
for In one corner waa a pile of sugar
It really would seem small to us, but it
was large to the ants. In another corner
was a smaller pile of bread crumbs and
cake crumbs.
The king Invited Donald to have some
sugar, but it seemed dirty and Donald
declined.
"Donald."' A great voice broke the
stillness. It was Donald's brother, Mau
