BUNNY BROWN
AND HIS SISTER SUE
GIVING A SHOW
CHAPTER I
"LOOK AT THE SKYLIGHT!"
With a joyful laugh, her curls dancing about her head, while her brown eyes sparkled with fun, a little girl danced through the hall and into the dining room where her brother was eating a rather late breakfast of buckwheat cakes and syrup.

"It's snow!" cried Sue. "It's the first snow, and it's soon going to be Thanksgiving and Christmas and all like that! And we can get out our sleds, and we can go skating and make snow men and--and--and----"
But she just had to stop. She was all out of breath, and she didn't seem to have any words left with which to talk to Bunny.
"Oh! Snow!" exclaimed Bunny, and he said; it in such a funny way that Sue laughed.
Just then in came her mother from the kitchen where she
