In the intervening days the post
man left strange notes for me.
Sometimes the missives were stuck
together with jujubes, but / had no
difficulty in deciphering the signs.
They read: Don't forget the party
next We'n'sday." AS to the crosses
well, the most ignorant person knows
what those mean in a letter.
"We'n'sday" came at last, and, of
course, l went to the party. It was a
great success. The house was turned
upside down by merry crowd of lit
Tile folks who kept the fun going until
long after they ought to have been in
bed.
Kathleen queened it all very pret-
tily, and after the last little guest had
departed and the blue eyes could
scarcely keep open, she persisted that
she wasn't little bit tired, "on'y
hungry" That was a subterfuge she
was always guilty of at bedtime.
Next day l saw Kathleen in the
park. and we discussed the party.

was glad to know that l had given
satisfaction in this direction.
Did you learn all those stories from
pitsher books, or were they just make
believer"
Both" said.
"And you didn't cry when you had
to go home like little Charlie did, did
you?"
assured her that was able to
refrain from weeping.
"And you liked me the best of all
the little girls there?'
"Of course, did"
Quite sure?" she said, coaxingly.
Quite sure" l repeated.
Then mummie was wrong" she
said, triumphantly.
"How's that?" l asked.
well when mummie and Aunt
Merva came to say Good night
heard auntie say how fond you were
of me, and mummie said: Yes, and
| know some one else he's very fond
of, too, or would be if she'd let him,
and auntie went quite funny, and said:
Don't be ridiklus, Daisy-Daisy's what
daddy calls mummie-but mummie
only laughed and said: I don't think
you're always kind to him."
Kathleen stopped to take breath
after this long recital, and then went
on: so after mummie went down
stairs, and auntie brought me a
sweetie fore fell sleep, asked if 1t
was true if you liked some little girl
better'n me. Auntie said No. and
then asked her if she wasn't always
kind to you. Auntie said: 'P'r'aps not,
sometimes Then l said she ought
to love you like l did, cos you were
lonely and had no nice little girl of
your own like my daddy had Then
she stopped down to kiss me, and her
cheek was quite wet, just as if she'd
been crying. I've never seen Auntie
Merva cry before"
There was a serious look in Kath,
leen's blue eyes.
What made Auntie Merva cry, dc
you think?" she asked, quite dis
tressed
Il think 1 can guess" l said, and
with a full heart kissed the little up.

Kathleen had told me something ]

have been grateful to her for telling
