time ~ And she certainly did as
serts the Philadelphia Times.
She began by taking her papa s neck
tie box out of the bureau drawer and
displaying all the neckties on the bed,
where she thought they could be seen
to much better advantage. The box
wasn't interesting, so she threw that
under the bed. Next she took a toy
lamp to pieces, but as that wasn't quite
exciting enough as "a lamp study, she
followed it up with even greater at
tention to the regular one, threw it's
wick out Of the window, and poured
the oil down the front of her dress.
Then she picked off the wall about
half yard square of paper, and pow
dered the bits on the floor with the con-
tents of talcum powder box. The pin
tray on the bureau didn't suit her, so
she broke that in two pieces and added
the pins and trinkets to the scraps of
paper and talcum powder. Next she
turned her attention to bottle of vas
cline and rubbed ii on her face and into
her hair. A shower of photo
graphs lay around the room in fash
ion that would have done credit to the
ambidextrous Keller or Hermann.
This done Kathryne was just about
to lay hold of her mothers shoeswhen
that lady herself appeared. The baby
tossed the pair of shoes over her head
backward and said; "See them CO."
There was plenty of "go," indeed,
and all in about five minutes time, too.
This is true story.
