fore long Jean could rattle off quite
proudly:
"'My name is Jean Anderson Abbott.

and my father is produce and COM
mission merchant"
She said it over to herself all the
way to school, but when she was real

teacher asked each little girl in turn,
and they answered glibly, but as it
came to jeans turn a great fear came
over her. She could not rem enber
what her fathers business was
Finally the teacher asked Marjorie,
who stood just beside Jean. Marjorie
answered rapidly enough:
my name is Marjorie Rolfe Bid

old, and my father is professor of hiss

Her answer gave Jean an inspira-
ton. If Marjorie's father was a pro-
fessor, of course her father was a pro-
fessor, too, and he had eggs and butter
IN his store. She knew that, so when
the teacher asked her the question she
replied promptly:

been visiting at grandma's, Howard.
Let's go down TO the barn and get
some of those old grain sacks and
each put one on; then We'll parade up
stairs and if Faith sees us it won't
matter. Then We'll change our
dresses see? And well mend this one
some time when nobody's looking"
Howard thought that was a fine plan.
"But why not go right around the
house and in at the front door?' he
said. That's much easier"
| "But that wouldn't be any fun"
said Jack. The argument was unan-
sWerable, and SO the three trooped off
to the barn. There they petted the
horses and tumbled on the hay and
got very dirty, indeed, and it ended
with Jacks ripping the sleeve of her
| dress.
Nov We'll have to have those
sacks she said. So they were routed
out, the bottom and sides ripped open
with Towards knife, and each girl
wrapped one around her.
With great display they paraded up
to the porch. Howard doubled up with
amusement at the queer spectacle they
made. Don't we look like the Rum
mans in their toggers? asked Jack
trfumphantly, and Howard had to lie
on the ground and choke his laughter,
for the twins would have been in
suited to think that they did not re-
sembled the 'stogaed Romans"
"Why-why-Who's that coming in
at the front gate? I do believe it's
mammaw cried the two. Sure enough
it was, several hours before she was
expected too! With shrieks of delight
the twins gathered up their ''toggers"
and rushed to meet the tall, sweet
faced woman who was advancing to
the house.
What matter if the sacks were in
the way and Jack tripped and Joan
fell over the clumsy things! The twins
cast themselves 'toggers" and all,
into the arms of their mother And
she-well, she was used to their plays
and was not alarmed, and even when
the sacks fell off, showing the ripped
sleeve and torn skirt, she did not
scold; she was too happy to see her
tWfnnies again.
They led her around to the kitchen,
Joan carrying her jacket and UNI
brella and Jack Juggling her suit case
and both chattering all the while.
Faith came to the door, blessing her
stars that the cake was done, and her
flushed cheeks grew roster and her
bright eyes brighter as she welcomed
mamma home
''And Howard, n1amma-here's How
ard Winship. You know, his fathers
bought New House," clamored the
twins. They had forgotten Howard
till that minute, and now as they
turned to introduce their new friend
he was gone.
Never mind, I'll see him soon," said
Mrs. Arnold; but the twinnies could
not understand why their Howard had
run away.-Brooklyn Eagle.

!: JACK z19 JOAN !

Such sultry afternoon! Jack and
Joan lay together in the hammock on
the back porch, but, alas, they were
back to back, and an ugly scowl in the
eyes Of each showed the reason! The
twins had quarreled over the new st.
Nicholas, which now lay between them.
Each had refused to leave to the other
the possession of the hammock and
the new magazine; SO there they were,
both as cross and uncomfortable as
they could be-
Bill ran out and pushed and pulled
at the hammock, begging his ''sisser
tWinnies to let him in, but the twins
would not speak to the little fellow.
SO Bill stood there in perplexity, his
round eyes filling with tears and his
mouth opened for long wall.
At the sound of his mournful voice
Faith rushed from the kitchen and
stroye to comfort the little chap.
"Jacqueline! Joanna! I'm ashamed
Of you, acting in such ridiculous way.
You know how busy / am getting
ready for tonight, and why couldn't
you take care Of baby better"
Then she carried Bill into the house
and came back, hot and flushed.
Girls, get right out Of that ham
mock this minute and go into the
house and amuse baby"
When Faith spoke in that firm tone,
the twins knew they must obey, so
they rose up, cross looking pair
enough, with hair tossed and tumbled
and eyes sulky and red
They looked at each other, and the
sight was too much for either. They
