Mattle's Note.

Just think of itl Seven little girls sii called out in front of the class for being absent the day before and bringing nc note of excuse.
 No wonder Miss Brown looked very stern as she asked each one why she had come without 1t. Then. would you believe it. 1 am almost afraid you will not for each one of those seven little girls said. Mamma hadn't time to write one."
 Then Miss Brown said something that sounded very funny to little Hattie Henderson.
 Girls" said the teacher. 'I would much rather your mother would write with lead pencil. on piece of rough, brown paper, than to have you bring no excuse at all. I know your mothers are busy. but there are almost always some scraps of brown paper that have been wrapped around bread and a pencil somewhere near, so 1t would take only minute to write note"
 Little Matte every day thought over these words until they became just . Little cosfused in her mind.
 It was not long after this that her baby sister was taken sick. and mamma kept Matte homo two days to help mind baby. who could not be left alone. or to do little things around the house while mamma took care of baby.
 On the th rd day the little one was so much better that mamma told Hattie she could go back to school. and said she would write note for her to take to miss Brown.
 As she said this she took from her WI ting desk a dainty sheet of creamy white paper, with an envelope to match. and was just looking for pen when Matte cried in dismay.
 Please don't take that paper, man. ma. Miss Brown won't like it one bit. She said every little girl must bring her 'scuse on piece of brown paper that a loaf of bread had come in, and 1t must be written in lead pencil and not ink. ," In vuin mamma talked to her little girl and told her how strange 1t would be for teacher to ask such n thing as that; Hattie still insisted, and. would you believe it she came near crying. So. as it was very nearly sohool-timo,l mamma wrote the excuse on the brown, paper.
 After Matte had gone she wrote ., note of apology and explained on the, creamy white paper, and sent 1t to Miss Brown by the postman.
 Hattie very proudly gave her note to her teacher and said, as fast as she could.
 Mamma wanted to write on white paper. but did just what you told uS fo and so here it is, just 'xactly as yoi sa d. lead pencil and all. only the pa. per came round crackers stead of bread" F Miss Brown looked very much sur prised and just little bit cross at first. but them she looked real pleasant and laughed. telling Hattie sue was very good little girl.
