left. and this little girl opened the door
and popped her head in, and told the
people:5.. Please don't eat up all the
ielly-pie!" daughter. There IS no
such thing as jelly-pie;, They made
| mistake. Pies are made OF apples. ana
souashes, and cnstard, and mince, and
hucAeberries. Some pies are made OF
large pieces and some are made OF
small pieces. Once there was stlnsgy
| little girl, and she had saucer-custard
pie given her, and when she saw anoth-
err little girl going past she called out:
s.Mary Ellen Mary Ellen! Don't you
| want to come in and see me eat custard

saw her eat custard pie, and she did not

NV aunt told me q story Of three boys
who had cakes sent them. One boy ate
his cake all up himself, right away, and
| made himself sick. Peter put his in a
4 box, to save it, and went every day to
nibble off little piece, when nobody
/ was looking. But Bill cut his cake up
and passed it round. Which boy 90

We have the most food Thanksgiving
Days, but a great many cousins ana
other people you like come to see you,
/ and your, stomach is SO glad you can
/ not eat half the things ON your plate.
/ We eat food three times day These
times are breakfast dinner, supper.
Breakfast comes the earliest My aunt
knows some children, very small ones,
/ that always want the best in the. dish,
/ and knows some that when they ask for
any thing at the table cell out: .'Meat!!''
.sBread!f s.Milk!' and make such a
! noise calling out that nobody can hear.
ANYBODY talk. People do not like to
eat dinner at that house because the
4 children make such a noise at the table.
NY aunt says she supposes they don +
know any better.
Once when I was little fellow, did
something very mean. went to party
and took some Of the things off the
plates, and brought them home in my
4 pocket. Ny mother made me feel
/ ashamed of myself, and did the things
/ up in paper, and wrote on the out.
/ side: ssFrom greedy boy who took
/ what did not belong to him, . and sent
it back to the lady. To be greedy means
to get all you can away from others,
4 To be stingy means to keep all you get,
and not give any away. To be glut-
.ton means to stuff yourself with food
after you have eaten plenty. My aunt
says this is the right way to ask forfood
at the table. You speak to the one near
est the. squash-if you want squash
and say that persons name. Il it is
your uncle, you say, Uncle John If
his name is John twill you please give
me some squash ?''-if you want squash.
4 heard Of boy that called out, ''Pud-
ding!'' and his father said, s.What are
! you calling to pudding fore Pudding
can't hear your Laughter. My
mother knows some children that are so
poor they can not get much food if they
ask ever so well for it. They are glad
q to get crust, or a piece Of cold johnny
cake.
i Once I heard story of a girl, quite a
I small one, that wanted to begin at the
beginning and make a johnny -cake, and
she said to her mother: Il want to be-
gin at the beginning and make q johnny
cake. How does it begins y Her
d imother said: If you want to begin at
the beginning, you must go into the
kitchen and begin It with meal. one
