HOW DAISY HAS FUN.
Read What She Says About Having q
Good Time All by Yourself.

AS soon as 1 have time, said Miss
Daisy, as reported in the Chicago Rec
ord, seating herself in her little red
chair, a very much soiled dolly in hand,
I'm going to tell every person 1 know
how to enjoy themselves.
It's as easy. You must only have
| fun; that's all.
To have fun you've got to have ear
| rings and things, and if you haven't
| got 'em, make 'em!
1 do. I have nine essquisite earrings
that made myself outen of beads and
| things, and I'm going to make some
more soon.
If you can't be took to a matinee,
make a matinee yourself, and if you
can't wear your mammals organizes
wear Mena's aperuns tied on sort of
loose in the back, SOS they'll drag good.
I make matnees and picnics and 60
ing-a-ridings and Sunny schools and
every mortil thing.
Once 1 made a barber shop, and it
was jest ezzackly like a real one.
Mamma made me a big rolly man
outen a quilt and tied papa's old foot
ball on for a head. Then l put him in
big chair and \soapsudded him and
shaved him with a knife all day, only
he was bald.
Picnics are fun, too, but they are
longer to make. First you must get
an apple-the same as when you go to
play butcher shop-and a cooky, and
outen of 'em make banana and pickles
and cakes and sardines. Then get a
matchbox and pack 'em in and have
plenty of bananas made. Then when
the lunching is all ready put on an
organdie or some other grown up
thing and go to the picnic on the rock
ing chair street car. You know how
to make that, of course. Wear ear
rings and a shawl and a pairsole,
cause when you get to the picnic it
will rain awful, and you must eat
lunching with the pairsole up. Then,
when you're just wet as you can be,
you must go under a tree to get dry.
That's the sofa or the hogmany table.
Then, when you're all dry and snugly
again, eat a few more bananas and go
home in the rocking chair horse car.
But a circus-oh! You must be a
riding lady in long dress and sit on
the side of a big trunk covered with
the red tablecloth and have pink pa
per on your cheeks for paint. Then
sometimes play I'm the dancing leg
sed lady, with my legs going right
down into the ends of my toes, but
they don't, very good
Boys most fun is when they go
skating and freeze their ears and have
to have snow rubbed into 'em to keep
'em from spelling.
Once a boy who used to run away
from school and go fishing caught so
many fish he broke his arm carrying
'em home, and his ma gave him 10
cents a pound for 'em. Then when he
got bigger he could paint picksures of
fishes SO good they were smelly, and
now he is an arterist and has an artery
of his own and makes fish to sell for
an awful lot of money. Papa says
that's because he was a bad boy and
run away from school instead Of be-
ing good and learning how to work
in an office all day. Now he just sells
fish pickSures.
In the summer I have eSSQuiSite
times playing garden. I go over in the
lot where that lady keeps her goat
and I name all the white flowers Lily.
all the pink ones Rose and all the blue
ones Violet But the most ones are
yellow ones, and just call 'em all dar-
ling, SOS not to hurt their feelings. i
charge a pin for enough flowers to I'LL
the jodrunaire, and I have seven pins
in grams cushion that made that way
last summer. They're empty lot, flow
ers, but they're essquisite.
If you take the little fire shovel and
dig all nice around an empty lot flower
and then pour three catchup bottles of
water on to it, it will grow as tall as
YOU are and have eight bouquets on
top. Then pick them for the jodru-
naire.
1t seems as if there's so many things
to do a person doesn't have time to go
4 place or do a mortil thing. There's
SO much fun maybe I'll not have time
to have it all before stop being lit
tie girl. You stop at s, you know. and
then begin being a big girl. I'm afraid
I'll cry that day, but then maybe big
girls Joy themselves too.
