tell her to come over, l want to make new dol
dress"
81 won't do it." replied Harold from the bottom
stair where he was sitting
You're a mean, selfish boy" camo from Janet
If you can't play with me you can't have Marie
and her old doll rags and secrets and thing"
Janet tried TO go reading, but the story
| lacked interest now Then she got out her doll
but the dress would not fit after she cut 1t out,
So she took it into grandmas room.
Grandma was knitting, and she looked little
! sad
Janet was instantly filed with contrition..
Dear grandma did disturb you. Harold
IS noisy and rude this morning, she said 81 can
! do thing with him when mother is away
Perhaps you don't go about it in the right
way" said grandma gently. j have noticed al
ways that when YOU sweeten things with love, the
dose Is always easier &c take Harold isnt very
we'll and | think he misses his outdoor life. We
must try to make it pleasant fol him Ill the house.
well, grandma. you surely don't think Harold
ought TO be allowed to have his way. and do every
thing he wants to, and never give up" said Janet
with emphasis.
No dear" said grandma, smiling u little, but
if you put little sunshine and gentieness into your
requests, and will sometimes play with him little
when he is upset. you will win his heart and al
lcgiance in such way that he will be glad to obey
you"
DO you think 50, grandmother" asked Janet,
thoughtfuil5.
Try it and see"
So Harold, still sitting on the lower stair in
disconsolate heap, presently heard Janet call.
oh, Harold, | have fixed Neddy's voice all
right. You ask cook for carrots and we Will
see if he won't go"
Harold bounded upstairs with the carrots, and
found the wagon right side up with care and filled
with books.
Now. this is your peddling cart, and Neddy
is apt to be balky you hold the carrots before his
nose like this, and see if he doesn't come along all
right. It's really better way than to beat HIM"
added Janet with funny imitation OF grandma:
Sure enough Neddy went ahead all right And
when the books were all sold to grandma and Janet,
Harold and Janet pasted pictures for the Chill
dren's Hospital.
This was grandmas plan and she saved all the
ard-boards off from the backs OF scratch-pads And
cutting them of different Sizes the children pasted
all the pretty advertisements wood cuts and bright
colored picture cards them. 0, yes first the
cards were covered with bright colored paper or
cloth and there was much ingenuity shown IN the
arrangement of the pictures, which were collected
from time to time, and dropped in a box. len OF
these cards were tied together at the top, so thcF
could be thrown over.
To-day is a good day to do lot of them. as 1T Is
Holy Innocentt's Day. and belongs to children,
said Janet, as she into grandma's room tor
the box.
PERHAPS after luncheon you would like to in
vite in your friends. You telephone, and per-
haps Harold can go with his rubber boots and mack
intosh, and tell the others" said grandma.
oh grandma" cried Janet, what lovely
idea"
Six BOYS and girls came after luncheon. and
pasted until dark Then cook gave them delicious
supper. and they went home, tired and happy.
Its the incest and most satisfactory thing to
do things for Others" said Janet, with happy sigh,
as she gathered up the finished cards.
Especially if it's seasoned with sunshine and
love-" said grandmother.
