her poor broken dolly now, for she had
two live pets AS soon as she had her
breakfast she began thinking names for
her pets. She decided to call the kitten
Helen. after herself. and the puppy after

DAISY BROWNS NEW GAME.
Mamma said little Daisy Brown. II
do wish 1 had some new game to play. I
am tired of playing with my dollies, and
they won't look pretty in the silk
dresses I have just made for them
Mrs Brown was very busy just them and
told her little daughter that she would
talk to her about it in the evening. That
evening MIS- bTOWH lOiu lIdiSy lndt SHE
had thought of a delightful game. and if
she came in the nursery the next afternoon
she would see it. The next afternoon when
Daisy went to the nursery what do you

and a little pan of cream all ready to be

little daughter playing with toys. AS her
mother had just finished the fourth chapter
she said to her little girl, 1T is time to go

and myself went with number of friends
to Cabin John to spend the day. In our
party there were three ladies' two young
girls and three children, including myself
The ride there on the cars was lovely and
when we reached the grounds we succeeded
in getting a pavilion and took possession
of the upper story. This pavilion was built
around huge tree. and we were right up
among the branches, where it was cool and
shady. After looking around at the differ

then prepared for lunch. We three chill
dren. Eleanor, Kenneth and myself, went
TO the spring for water, while the ladies
spread the luncn. Such a time as we had
to get to that spring. The path was all
hills and hollows. and If it had not been for
kenneths help l would never have gotten
to the bottom. We all refreshed ourselves
with drink of tn. clear, cold water then
hlied our glasses again and started for our
pavilion. We had such a rough steep way
10 go that there was very little water left
in our glasses when we reached the level
ground. We all sat down to lunch and the
sandwiches and other good things disaD-
peared remarkably quick. Soon after our
lunch we had ride the merry-go-r round
and scenic railroad Then we went down
under the large bridge and listened to the
echo or our voices and threw stones in the
water After supper we played games
around the tree in pavilion, then had
another ride on the merry go-round visited
the palm garden, where we saw some funny
While, and. as it was growing late, we had
one more ride on the merry go-round and
that ended our days fun.
