'S ' DAILY POEM JES’ PEEKIN AT YOU—- There really is pleasure in very full measure in watching cute things kiddies do. A tot has much fun, keeping dad on the run, in the home game, “Just peekin’ at you.” A youngster will stand in the window at night ’cause he knows he will soon have a treat. He’s peekin,’ his face on the pane is pressed tight. ’Till daddykins comes down the street. And then daddy comes and he opens the door and a little voice sharply says “boo.” Os course he is certain that out from a curtain a tot’s playin’ “peekin’ at you.” , Then, all evening long there’s a patter of feet as soonyboy runs here and there. He gently goes sneakin,’ while playin’ at peekin’; he hides to give daddy r. scare. This “peekin' at you” is a won derful game and it lasts till the evening j s through. Then sonny's in bed, covered just to his head, so he still can play “peekin’ at you.” (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service. Inc.)
