“‘Little Americans’—how’s that?”
“Better, but not good enough,” replied her mother.
“Oh, here’s one—everything that lives in a forest is called a ‘denizen’ of the forest—let’s call our children ‘Little Denizens,’” cried Norma.
“Wish someone could find a name that would mean the same as Americans and woods folks,” came from Betty wistfully.
“How does ‘Little Citizens’ sound?” asked Ruth.
“Wait! say it again!” exclaimed Mrs. Talmage, while the children and Aunt Selina seemed to like the name.
“Little Citizens—of Happy Hills in the Valley of Delight,” rehearsed Ruth.
“Why, just the thing—it’s lovely!” cried Aunt Selina.
“Yes, Fluff, couldn’t be better,” said several of the Blue Birds.
“Sounds almost like a book story-name, it’s so pretty,” commended Mrs. Talmage.
