"And I want you all to come." f UA picnic V" And May Rogers laughed at such an absurd notion. "Why, one can't have a picnic in the winter, Bertha. If we went to the park or to the woods we'd freeze sitting about on the ground, eating a cold picnic lunch eon. Why, nave you oeen sleeping aur- ing the past four or live months ? It's winter now, dear." Three or four other little girls laughed also at the idea of a picnic in winter, sides bringing their pockets full of pop corn and peanuts. The boye always had such a store of things in their pockets. For the remainder of the week the boys and girls invited to the Saturday after noon picnic at the home of Bertha Avery lived in eager anticipation, wondering what the "picnic" held in store for them by way of surprise. Many made conjec tures, saying it would be only a house party and that the games would be in door games. But when the clock struck 3 on Saturday afternoon nearly every guest was turning in at the gate lead ing to Bertha Avery's home, for each boy and girl was anxious to be present when the "picnic" began, and the latest arrival was there at 10 minutes past the hour named.

M. And the place well, all assemble at my house at the hour named and then I'll conduct you to the picnic grounds." "All right," agreed each of the little girls. Then Bertha ran off to invite sev eral other school friends, among them half a dozen of the boys jolly chaps, who would furnish all sorts of jokes and able and the guests saw the regulation furniture about them. After removing their wraps they were ushered into the parlor, which was the same room in ap pearance it had always been on their former visits. The guests looked at one another questioningly. "Just as I sup posedonly a joke of Bertha's," whis pered May Rogers. "The picnic is the regulation house party we are all accus tomed to during the winter months." But just at this moment Bertha entered the parlor, bowing and smiling to each guest, excusing herself for not having been there to receive them.
