thought he detected a1 first trace
of ,unhappiness in her toice. , -

The Shadow-Children Learn Why
the Ostrich and Zebra Are
Friends
After their first visit inside' the
Natural History book, Mlj. Flor.
Hanld, Yam and Knarf the five
turned-abont names were eager
to go again.. To. go inside the
book meant just that and nothins
else. : They gare J spring, and
whis-et, they were inside. Shadow-children,
you see, are not at
all like real-children, who must
be, satisfied with merely looking
inside a book. -
Well, one evening they found
the Natural History book; lying
open on the library table. On
one side was a page full-of print
ed words and on the opposite side
was a large picture. They stood
on the bottom margin and peered i
elosely at the picture, which show-'
ed a zebra and an ostrich stand-:

to be sniffing, while his ostrich ;

ing and was. trying to see just
whv it was.
- Now, the more the shadow-children
looked at this . picture, the
more odd did It seem to be. Why
should a zebra, which is a sort of
striped , donkey, be on the - same
picture with an ostrich, which is
a bird?
"We'd better go . right Inside
the picture ' and ask them our
selves,". Flor said. . All agreed
that was sensible, except Knarf...
"I'm going to stay right here
nntil I read it all!" he said. ' So
they left him to pore Over the
long words while they all held
hands and sprang Into the picture.
At first the zebra and the ostrich
were greatly frightened. When
they saw. however, that the shadow-children
did not mean to harm
them, they let them approach.

slipped through the corner of the
picture and crept stealthily along
the ground, half-hidden in the
tall grass.
As - you - well kw, a shadow
has no scent The zebra, there-,
fore did not sniff him, while the
ostrict, though it saw a moving
shadow plainly enough, paid no
attention to it.
"Yes," the zebra was saying,
"no one can come here without
our. knowing it" when all at once
Knarf, with a wild shout, leaped
upon the zebra's back.
"I fooled you! I fooled you!"
he cried. ,
His Joy was short-lived. The
zebra whirled around in fright
kicking up with its hind legs and
dashing up and down. As for the
The Assertive Mantel . .
Not even a grand piano domin
ates a, room more than' that nar
row horizontal slab known as a
mantel.' It's usually in the mid
dle of the, room, also it projects
conspicuously half way up a wall
and it is generally the repository
of some. choice decorative pieces.
For all of which reasons the man
tel catches the eye as soon as one
enters the room, and it can beau
tify or uglify the place. ...
Why is a mantel, anway? Like
! many objects now regarded s
decorative, it probably had purely
: utilitarian origins. It began as a
Uhelf, conveniently stuck over the
fireplace, so as to keep lighter
candlesticks within easy reach.
Also it was comfortable "place
for- suspending saucepans, ladles
and other cooking equipment

f homey quality is now gilded with

V Today-mantels are fashionable
or decorative reasons and they
; come in all . sorts of materials
' wjod, tile,"brick, marble,-chastely
' simple or elaborately carved. But
the old-fashioned mantel which is
: In the room because it serves a
definite purpose is still the most
charming of the lot
Occasionally a young housekeep
er moving into a new apartment
is puzzled about the conspicuous
mantel in the living room.. What
shaU bo done with it? How is it
to be treated?
To begin with, has it any use?
Curiously enough, one often finds

unfortunate shadow-boy in its

its head, flinging him clear out

The other shadow - children

"I fooled them anyway," he
kept saying.
