Saturday morning to certain old peoples home cali

spend an hour reading entertaining an old man or
woman The matron could select the poor people and
everybody must be satisfied with what she got
Because, you see," said little Nan, breathlessly

to put up with something"

yourselves The Perseverance Club. That will mean
that the fifth grade will go out to Frankfort Home in
all kinds of weather. provided the cars are RUNNING

useful during your hour at the home"
And that everybody must keep their own old per-
son and not want to be changing" said little Nam

said chat they won't give you the cranEest old lady
in the home"
IF they do, I'll keep her" said little Man. with
determination; 'Im not the kind of girl to be back

SO the Perseverance Club formed in this irregular
but interesting manner, went smiling back to the
school benches each little member deciding in her
heart that she wasn't the kind of girl to be back
