 Susie Littletail and Jennie Chipmunk1 were having a play party in the woods. They had their lunch in little birch-bark baskets, and they used a nice, big, flat stump2 for a table. They took an old napkin for a tablecloth3, and they had pieces of carrots boiled in molasses and chocolate, and cabbage with pink frosting on, and nuts all covered with candy, and some sugared popcorn4, and all nice things like that, to eat.
 
“Oh, isn’t this lovely!” exclaimed Susie. “Please pass me the fried lolly-pops, Jennie, aren’t they lovely?”
 
“Yes, they’re perfectly5 grand!” spoke6 Jennie as she passed over some bits of turnip7, which they made believe were fried lolly-pops. “I’ll have some sour ginger8 snaps, Susie.”
 
So Susie passed the plate full of acorns9, which were make-believe sour ginger snaps, you know, and the little animal girls were having a very fine time, indeed. Oh, my, yes, and a bottle of horseradish also!
 
Now, don’t worry, if you please. I know I did promise to tell about Bawly and the soldier hat, and I’m going to do it. But Susie’s and Jennie’s play party has something to do with the hat, so I had to start off with them.
 
While they were playing in the woods, having a fine time, Bawly No-Tail, the frog boy, was at home in his house, making a big soldier hat out of paper. I suppose you children have often made them, and also have played at having a parade with wooden swords and guns. If you haven’t done so, please get your papa to make you a soldier hat.
