oward the hill. CHAPTER XXII AN UPSET Russ followed his sister over the snow to the place where Dick had made the little hill. If there was trouble Russ wanted to help, for, though Rose was the "little mother," Russ felt he must do his share to help her. They found that Mun Bun had rolled off the sled in going down a little hill and had toppled into a snow bank. "But that didn't hurt you!" said Rose, laughing as she picked him up. "There, sister will kiss the place and make it better. You only got a little snow up your sleeve, and it makes your arm cold." "But I bumped my head, too!" sobbed Mun Bun. "Well, I'll rub that and make it well," said Rose, and she did. "But I'm hungry, too," added Mun Bun. "Oh, I can't rub your hungry away," and Rose laughed so merrily that Mun Bun stopped his crying and laughed too. So did Margy. "What makes us get hungry?" asked Violet, as Mun Bun let Rose brush the snow from him. "What makes us?" "It's when something tickles us in our stomachs," answered Laddie. "I know, 'cause I feel that way right now. I wish I had something to eat." "So do I," said Margy. "My stomach doesn't zactly tickle, but it's hungry."

"I brought two kinds," he said, "'cause I thought some of you would want one kind, and I might want both kinds." The making of the snow man and the coasting down the little hill stopped while the children ate their cookies, and then, after a while, Russ said: "Well, we must finish the White family." "What's that?" asked Violet, brushing some cookie crumbs off her jacket. "Oh, it's a snow family we're making," explained Rose. "There's Mr. White and Mrs. White and we're going to make some little White snow children." "Like us six little Bunkers?" asked Mun Bun. "No, I guess not so many as that," replied Laddie. "That would take us all day. We'll just make two children, a girl and a boy." "Oh, I'm going to help make the White children!" cried Vi. "Let's go an' watch 'em!" called Margy to Mun Bun. "We've had enough coasting, haven't we?" "Yes," said Mun Bun. "We'll make some snow mans ourselves." With the smaller
