Do you think it is as much fun as playing ? In one of my recent rambles a Catbird came from a thicket and scolded me loudly and long. Perhaps I passed too near the nestful of maltese catbirds. He made a great ado, seeming to think he was the sole owner of the jungle and screamed "no trespassing allowed here?" However, I was not sorry that he came out and spoke to me, for otherwise I might not have seen his curious plumage. The middle feather of his tail was pure white, which showed very clearly against his trim feathers" of gray. I think most of our young folks like "pi," so we offer you some this month. Do not hesitate to send in your answers if you cannot solve every puzzle. I would like to have you write also, what you like best in our department, and the kind of puzzles which please you the most.
