directed Her Letter I

Directed Her Letter 10 Heaven.
At a recent wedding the bride had
retired TO her dressing room to don her
travelling gown. Her mother had been
dead year or more, and she had had
the constant care and companionship
Of her little sister ever since their af-
Fiction. The 7-year-old entered the
room and went to her sisters chair
very thoughtfully. Drawing a letter
from the little pocket, she SAID:
Alice, here is letter to mamma.
| have just written, telling her all
about the wedding. Will you send il
to her ?'
The elder sister, little shocked, re-
piled as gently as possible that she
couldn't send letter TO mother.
Then the little one, looking quite
bright, said promptly:
"Oh, yes, you can, because now you
are married, you will be getting little
girl. and when you send for her. Just
give the doctor this letter, and he can
take it to mamma when he goes for
the baby"
She took the letter, and hugged the
little one TO hide the tear which was
rubbed off on the curly, brown head.

Choice.

"You must be on your good be-
hsvior this evening, George, for the
minister is to take dinner with u.s.
said HyattsviIle lady to her worser
half, as he got home from his Office in
the city last Thursday.
"What have you for dinner ?" quer-
led the husband.
"Well, | know he is fond Of fish, so
| bought quite string OF small river
fish and several larger ones from the
DAM"
I'm not much at doing the honors
when we have a minister at the table, =
said George: but guess we can get
through with it all right"
Half an hour later they we're seated
at the table and blessing had been
asked by the minister. A little ner-
vously the head OF the house began
dishing out the vegetables, and, turn
ing to the guest, said:
Will you have some OF the little
river fish or would you prefer some OF
the dam big fish,"
The warning kick from under the
table from his wife was unnecessary.
He knew he had blundered, and cold
beads Of perspiration started out on his
forehead.
Il mean'-trying to repair the error
=" will you try some of the dam river
fish or some OF the big fish ?"
Worse and more Of it, His daughter
slyly pulled his coat-tail to bring him
to his senses.
"That is, would you like some Of the
river fish or some OF the other dam
fsh?"
The deep carnation spreading over
the good lady's face, he plunged once
more:
Aheml Which OF the dam fish do
you prefer, anyhow ?"-Philadelphia
