"THE BLACKBIRD PIE"

[Of Special Interest to Children]

VIOLET S. TALBOTT

The primary grades were putting on their little play at the close of the school term. The play was called "The Blackbird Pie." A huge pie had been made with a circle of wire fencing standing upright and covered with wrapping paper. Across the top was a large flat piece of paper which made the crust. The children had had fun coloring the paper with tan and brown crayons to make it look like a nicely browned crust.

The pie was very large—so large, in fact, that twenty-four little children, all dressed in black suits and helmets, could get into it. They were the "four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie."
