BY MAUD WALKER.

Little Rosie was six years old. and most naughty little Miss. shcewas. too indeed. doubt very much If any of the little girls who read this story ever knew so naughty a child as Rosie Snell
 But. listen. and I'll tell yoa why Rosie was so naughty She was SPOILED -- yes. SPOILED! She had no brother or sister and she had a very devoted mother and father and doting grandmother md grandfather. So. you will readily under stand why Rosie felt that she was the only little girl Tn the world and ths, everyone should run at her beck and cali
 Her mother and father meant well by their little girl. but-Well some parents are quite foolish. you know and instead of rearing their children to be unselfish sweet-tempered and loving towards others, both old and young. they are blinded by their love for their children and think them better, cieverer. and more beautiful. than any other children on earth. So. the children are not entirely to blame say. for thinking as their parents think.
 And so 1t was with Rosie Shell. No matter what Rosie wanted there was one of the parents or grandparents to see that her wish was gratified. If Rosie got ugly tempered-which she did very often--her mama never repTimanded her, but on the contrary, gave up to the poutins little girls demands, no matter how absurd they were, or how unreasonable. And al times Rosie had both parents and grand parents busy with tempting her with toys. sweet-meats. and coaxing. to induce her to stop her naughty crying. But in vain did they coax: Rosie screamed and kicked and fought till she felt she had done SC enough. Then she stepped and asaed for whatever she wanted getting It. too. If such n thing were possible. Why. her papa had been known 10 so out in the worst storm you could imagine. just be cause his little daughter had taken 1t into her head to have some ginger cakes from Il confectioners shop several blocks nwHy. and could not he persuaded to eat the nice frosted cookies made at her own home. although the home made sweet meats were far superior in taste and qrality to the heavy ginger cakes tn be had al the coEfcetioners shop. But Rosie had set her hcirt--or maybe l should say her stomach-On the latter. and no peace could be had in yhe house till she got them.
 Well. s-t ovt to tell you about Rosie's going to party: but I've got long way oI my subject. However. it Is well that you should have an introduction 10 Rosie before meeting her at the party.
 Well. this party took place on a Satur- day afternoon. and many little boys md girls were there. II was given by dear litt.e girl by the name of Laura DaVis and although she knew that Rn;;ie was n very naughty little girl. and might cause disturbances at the party. she col,d not avoid inviting her. for Rosics parents and i-aura's pareats were neishbors. and
