The next day the proof of the pictur,
was brought 10 Mr.. Lloyd and he showed
ii to Kittie. There was grandma and
grandpa sitting up in the center, looking
as calm and placid as ever. There wa,
mamma and baby Ruth as plain as could
be, and Sandy sitting up as straight a>

face ought to be there was the back IF
curly head and blur.

When the picture was shown To the
other relatives they decided that it was
so good of grandma and grandpa that il
must be kept. So a short time after Mr..
Lloyd brought home the picture, all fin
ished and framed. and hung it up in the
parlor. Kittie cried bitterly, and begged
him not to hang it UP. hut papa said he
must. Then mamma took her little girl
into the parlor and talked to her.
The picture is spoiled. dear. because
you did not do as | told you ut once. |
told You to keep perfectly still when The
man said All ready but you wanted y
look around first and see what Sandy
was doing. Now | want you to come and
look at the spoiled picture very often. and
always remember that it got spoiled be-
cause you did not obey promptly.
Kittie tried hard to remember the l'>,,
son, and, when she forgot to mind
promptly, her mamma would often say;
Take care. Kittie. You are - Haa-
your picture now. And then kii",
would smile into her mothers fac and
hasten to do as she was told.-SuHday
