the habit of dropping in at her neighbor' s
about meal time, in the hope of obtaining an
invitation to partake with the family, was re-
Gently completely nonplussed by the unhesi-

Knowing that neighbor's supper hour was
FIVE, she called in about four, and settled her
self down for a long call.
at takes two to make bargain" and the
lady honored with the call had no idea of Civ
ing an invitation, if it was in her power to es-
cape it. Accordingly the hour of FIVE brought
no indications of supper. Time wore on, the
sun was near its setting, and still the same.
A little girl, the daughter Of the lady in ques-
tion began to grow quite uneasy. At length,
her mother having gone out for moment, the
visitor said
"You must come over and see me, Mary,
some time"
"No, WON'T said the child.
"Why not ?"
because don't like you"
"But why don't you like me ?"
"Because I'm hungry, and want some sup

"But," said the visiter amazed, CT dom Z

Yes you dc" said little Mary. Mother
said she wouldn't have supper till yoa were
gone, if you staid till midnight"
In less than five minutes the visitor was
marching out of the front door with a very red
face She hasn't called to see little Mary
since.
Little Mary, in her childish frankness has
not yet learned the important lesson which
after years will not fail to teach her, viz that

itself, Is not to be spoken at all times"
