"Oh!"
"What's the matter?" asked Rose.
"Did you hear some funny noise?" questioned Violet.
"No, but look at Mr. White!" cried Russ. "He took off his hat and made a bow to me!"
"Why, Russ Bunker!" gasped Vi.
"Took off his hat?" cried Laddie.
"Made a bow to you!" exclaimed Rose. "Why, how could he? Mr. White is only a snow man. He isn't alive!"
"Well, he made a bow just the same!" cried Russ. "You just watch, and he'll do it again!"
Eagerly the children watched. Mr. White did not move. He just stared at them with his black eyes, smiled at them with his red cloth lips, and the tall, silk hat upon his snowy head never moved.
"You're fooling us, Russ!" exclaimed Laddie.
