They come closer still, and make our homes their own. They take the grossest liberties. I am fond of birds, but I think the line must be drawn somewhere. The clothes-line, for instance. The other day Titania sent me out to put up a new clothesline; I found that a shrike or a barn swallow or some other veery had built a nest in the clothespin basket.
One-half the great she-world's on wheels the other wondering how it feels to ride clothespin fashion. Clearly the Women's Rescue League cannot stem the tide not even with the help of the ICONOCLAST and ex- Governor Hogg; it must either straddle a bike and join in the stampede, climb a fence or get run over. Hevings! is there no help for us no halting-place this side of hetairism?
"Now we must put out the fire," said the rabbit, as he and the pussy were ready to go look for the clothespin house. "Why must we do that, Uncle Wiggily?" "Oh, so that it will not set fire to the woods, and burn down the nice trees after we are gone. Always put out your camp fire when you leave it," said the rabbit, as he threw water on the blaze, making clouds of steam.
There had been countless long evenings of her little girlhood when no waiting beside her bedside was too tedious sometimes during three and four evenings a week of Lilly's enforced absence in the pursuit of vaudeville novelties. He was tireless and faithful as a watchdog, keeping awake by whittling at something no more fantastic than a clothespin.
Don't your folks churn?" and then, for the first time, Brighteyes noticed that the toad had a little wooden churn, made from an old clothespin, fastened on her back. "No, my mother doesn't churn," answered Brighteyes. "Then I don't suppose you keep a cow," went on Mrs. Toad.
The side which succeeds in passing all its clothespin back to its leader first is the victorious side. It is best to have a trial game first, so that the players may become used to passing with one hand, thus being able to do it rapidly for the regular game. If a clothespin is dropped, the player who dropped it must pick it up and pass it on.
Susan Betts laughed indulgently and jammed the clothespin a little deeper on to the towel. "Bless the child! Won't ye hear that, now?" she laughed with a shrug. "An' how should I know? I guess if Susan Betts could tell the end of all the beginnin's as soon as they're begun, she wouldn't be hangin' out your daddy's washin', my boy.
"I'm sure I don't know," replied the rabbit. "But did you notice that she didn't have her eggs with her?" "Sure enough!" exclaimed the pussy. "She must have left them in some other bird's nest." "Well, we had better keep on, for it is getting late," spoke Uncle Wiggily, "and I want to find your clothespin house for you."
No matter how it pitched, the human clothespin stuck to his seat, and apparently with as little concern as if he had been in a rowboat gently moved to and fro by the waves. Jed rode like a centaur, every motion attuned to those of the animal as much as if he were a part of it. No matter how it pounded or tossed, he stuck securely to the hurricane deck of the broncho.
Meg had an extra row of little curlpapers across her forehead, Jo had copiously anointed her afflicted face with cold cream, Beth had taken Joanna to bed with her to atone for the approaching separation, and Amy had capped the climax by putting a clothespin on her nose to uplift the offending feature.
