Aunt Este's Stories For Children My deal little ones: How would you like to hear a real funny story? A sort of a futry tale, about an old mother Goose Rhyme? If you would, listen to the talc of ULI) MOTH Kit TWITCH KT Once upon a tinio in Mother Goose Village lived a funny old Woman by the nunie of Mother Twitchet. She lived right beside the old woman who lived under the hill, only her house was on top of the hill, because—well, because she had to have all the light she could possibly lind. Now don't (ret curious and ask why right away, because 1 am going to tell you. You see old Mother Twitchet had but one eye—and that was a very small, long, narrow eye—and she had to use It oh, so much, for you never can guess what she did all day long, and so be cause you can't guess X am going- to tell you. She made all the clothes for the children of Mother Goose Village. There were tho many, many children of the old woman who lived in the shoe there was little Tommy Tucker and little Jack Sprat, and little Tommy Tille, Mouse, who lived In a little house right near to her. There was little 80-Peep, who tended tho sheep on the hill right close by her house—and oh, ever so many others, who need new clothes all the time. (In fact it almost took all of her time mak ing new clothes for Marjery Daw, for she surely did tear a lot on that dreadful see-saw!) But old Mother Twitchet like to sew —yes. indeed she did, even If she bad only one eye, and she used to laugh all the time she was making those rompers and dresses and bloomers for the little children she loved—for it ma'de her think of the time when she had been a little girl and had liked to romp and aee-saw and have good tlnies. So she used her one eye day after day and sewed and sewed and sewed. But poor old Mother Twitchet sewed so hard and fast and never took a rest, night or day, for so many years that at last she grew awfully thin. She first had been feai rolly-polly and fat—almost like Humpty IJunipty—but at last she grew as-thin as Nancy Etticote—then she grew as thin as Jack Spratt, ajid people thought she could not possibly grow any thinner—but I'll declare she grew thinner and thinner, until she looked almost like a shadow—and there seertxed nothing left of her bu( that one long funny eye, and a thin body which stretched out finally until she looked,.lust like a stick or a pin. Then to make matters funnier—there was always a long, long white thread hanging from her —and she sewed so hard and so . fast that the children of Mother Goose A'lllage scarcelv saw old Mother Twitchet—all they could see were their new dresses com ing out as If by magic from under long, long white threads. Well, at last dear little ones—that thread grew to be so much a part of old Mother Twitchet with her long thin body and her one eye that the chlldreo used to call the thread her' tail—and New Postmaster Takes Office at Woodbine, York County a J 1 j: BAYARD L.

They would see the holes she cut In the material in order to turn it into dresses, and'then they would see the long tail get shorter and shorter, until at last Mother Twitchet would have to get another thread. So. one day, while little Miss Muffet was sitting on her tuffet waiting for her spider to come along, she had nothing to do, and of course her little brain Rot busy. All she could see In the distance was the cottage of Mother Twitchet, and In the door way sat the poor, little, thin, old woman with the one eye—sewing and sewing away. So little Miss Muffet begun to rhyme: "Old Mother Twitchet has but one e>*e, And a long, long tail which she lets fly." But just as she got to that point along came the spider and sat down besidd her—and frightened not only Miss Muffet but all her brilliant thoughts away. My. but Miss Muffet was provoked at that spider! Nasty thing, she thought, but try as she would—even after the spider hail left she could Ret no farther— "Old Mother Twitchet has but one eye. And a long, long, tall, which she lets fly." Over and over again she said it. At last little Tommy Tittle mouse came along and sat down at the place the spider had just left. "What's the matter. Miss Muffet?" said he. "Oh." said Miss Muffet. "1 was making up such a funny piece about old Mother Twitchet. and that nasty spider frightened me and took away all my thoughts" Well when little Tommy Tlttlemouse heard those first two lines he just laughed and laughed—and quick as a flash he said: "And every time she went over a gap She left a bit of her t«il in a trap." The Miss Muffet laughed. "That's great! said she. "Let's go over and tell Old Mother Twitchet." So off ran the two little scamps to Mother Twitchet's cot tage, singing "Old Mother Twitchet has but one eye. And a long, long tall which she lets fly. And every time she goes over a gap, She leaves a bit of her tail In a trap." Up to her door they ran. But when they got there—what do you suppose? There was no Mother Twitchet at all! She had grown so thin, and her eve had grown so large and her tall so long—that there was nothing at all but a bunch of new dresses, and a great big NEEDLE WITH A LONG WHITE THREAD on that cottage floor. And from that day to this that Is all that Is left of OLD MOTHER TWITCHET. Lovingly. A.UNT EbTE. Talented Young Man Is Editor of College Paper I jnH| r^B OHARLBB 8.
