When reached home mama had~gone to III
the picnic, but she left little note saying that
the next time she told hurry I must do
so. 1t was very lonely for that day, and I Ill

stay home all alone after you have planned to Ill

JUST FRIENDSHIP PATS III
You need not write anything which still III
NJ mas : sting for YOU" recommends the editor.
1t is not my intention to write anything which |
still has sting for me- but this incident GER III
talnly did have once time. III
MY parents were opposed my swimming, III
especially on hot days, but naturally I was II
heartily in favor of it. One hot day went OUT 81
with several companions to have SWIM When
we were tired sat down on shore to dry IL
on The sun beat hard on backs and bls-
tered them in few minutes. It panied us III
greatly, so We dressed and walked toward home
On the way boy came behind and gave me IL
he shouted, but instead of it going thru NV ear
II entered my back In return I did say
Hello" but greeted him with OUGHT,
and then l. explained matters As neared
home several friends did the same They were .a@
SO glad to see me that they greeted with a
strong pat the back. In every instance
did not answer their courtesies with any other
reply than "Ouch You can well feel for any one in
such dilemma.
IT had had to draw up resolution just then
I think it would have been in much this fashion,
First-That swimming hot days is mistake.
second-That blisters resulting from are
worse than uncomfortable.
Thrd-That quit swimming on hot days.
It seemed to that would rather have faced
thousand guns that day than receive pat from
child. I did say much to any one for being
treated so badly, for knew it the punishment for
my dlsooealence. Allie Josewitch,

DELIGHTFUL CHAIR MUSIC
When I was or years old was very fond of
sitting and knocking my feet against the
table my chair. Mama told me many times not to
do it, but as seemed to like that kind did
day she surprised me by saying "Bernice. If
you do not make that noise for twenty minutes steady
I'll whip YOU AS I had whipping
thought this very severe punishment and now that
had to make this once-liked was not SO en-
joyable.
Somehow, went thru with it without the whin
ping, but not without aching feet and resolved
meyer to indulge in such foolish pleasure again

THANKS TO LUCKY STARS
My greatest punishment occurred during this past
Christmas vacation. During the first three days
sweets to such extent that mother said must not
eat another piece until New Day. Perhaps you
cannot imagine how those words sounded in my ears
but I nearly cried. However, do believe in
crying split milk did not. managed to keep
my spirits up until Christmas Eve, but when-I saw
mother filing the candy bags (for not allowed
do this) went to bed all this seemed just too hard.
Now that can eat candy, I see how right it to
be punished in this way, it Tor eating sweets
that kept out of school for over a month last
the same thing and and still not have
learned SO thank my lucky stars mother knows

me not to into the orchard back of the house, for
they had fierce dog which had boys
