"I would," gaily answered; ber niece, "if only,'we were back in the country, instead of temporarily housed on a fifty -foot city lot.' "But who in the world ever drinks it all?" persisted the aunt. , As if in answer to herquestion, , into the room bounced the two roly- poly youngsters, Teddy, the four- year-old, and two-yeer-old Befle, bi'iliht and smiling and ready . for breakfast.
