a moisture, then sprinkle then heavy
drcnching rain storm. How deeply little
girls, into whose eyes gathered unbidden
tears, and little boys who said ''oh, pshawl"

hearts. At last the postponement was an
nounced, and the little ones who had gath

be comforted, even by the assurance that
the picnic will yet be held, possibly to-
