Moving Was Unexpected

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last July we were living in Long
Beach. Papa was working up at Saw
telle.
We were going to move to Los An
geles Saturday, but papa sent a card
saying that we would move Wednes-
day. He sent the card Monday but we
didn't get it till Tuesday about 4
o'clock.
Mamma was intending to wash on
Wednesday, so she had her clothes
soaking. They were all wet, of course.
She hung them up dirty to get thel,
dry, but only about half of them dried.
Papa came home that night about
half past 9.
The man that was going to take our
furniture to Los Angeles came with
him.
They ate their supper and then began
to pack things. We stayed up till about
II O'Clock. We got up about half past
g. Mamma and papa got up at f.
/ had to go downtown, so 1 dressed
ready to go to Los Angeles. We got
there just in time to miss our car We
had to wait half an hour. went in
to say good by to a friend of mine and
found that they were intending to come
down to our house that afternoon.

An Unexpected Welcome

Dear Aunt Laurie:
"Oh, Henry!" cried Mrs. Stanley to
her husband, what will become of Mar
garet? Although she's II, she runs and
climbs trees Ike child of 10, and she
declares she won't go to any old
boarding school" She's a regular baby
in actions, while in face and body she's
young lady. 1 certainly wish some
thing would come along that would
tame her and make her like other girls.
L"
AS Mrs. Stanley started to make more
protests against her daughter, a young
girl sprang into the room. Her hair
was curly and it hung down in her eyes.
She held out berry stained hand, in
which was letter.
"Oh, mammie, here's a letter. Looks
like Buds writing. Read it quick. Is
1t his vacation? Is his school out ?"
"Oh, child, give me a chance to read
the letter. Go and comb your hair and
change your dress, and please take some
pumice stone and scrub the berry stain
off from your fingers; then come to me
and will give you the substance of the
letter."
The girl turned, and closing the door
behind her, ran up the stairs to the
bathroom. She took some pumice stone
and rubbed her hands until finally the
stain disappeared. Then she went to
her room and combed her hair and
changed her dress, and appeared be-
fore her mother, neat and clean.
Harold is coming home today. He
ought to be here by o'clock"
"Momie, it's o'clock now. I guess
I'll read until Bud comes," and going
from the room Margaret took "St Ell
mo" and was soon buried in Edna's ad-
ventures. In about an hour the door,
bell rang, and Margaret ran to the door
with cry of joy She opened the door
wide and there She saw a man whom
she supposed to be her brother She
gave him a hug and a kiss, and he,
much surprised, sprang away and near
ly knocked over Margarets brother in
his effort.
We'll, George, I've been watching you
and my sister. I guess you must have
met before" said Harold.
Margaret and the young man both
blushed, and George Stafford, for this
was the young mans name, said, "T
guess she must have taken me for you,
Harold"
"There certainly isn't much resem.
blance," said Harold
Margaret ran up the stairs as fast as
she conld CO. and going to her room
she locked herself in until supper time
when she came down very quiet and
ladylike.
Never after that was Margaret so
boisterous or noisy as she had been be-
fore she met George Stafford.
Her mothers wish had come true

New Dress Brought Happiness

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One time poor little girl was in
vited to a party a rich lady was giving,
to which she had invited all the chill
dren around.
Eda had been wishing that she could
go, but her poor worn-out mother had
said she had no dress to wear, so could
not go.
Poor Eda was nearly heart-broken,
for it was to be the very next after
noon, and she thought she could not go.
She went to her little cot that night
very sorry. In the morning her mother
said she must go to town and pay the
rent and Eda must stay at home and
look after the house. So Mrs. Elman
got ready and left Eda alone. Eda con-
tented herself in looking over their
one book, which was the atlas. She
was startled by some one knocking on
the front door. She went and a mes
senger there told her that the hostess
of the party had decided to furnish the
costumes for the party, as she wanted
the guests to dress alike.
Mrs Elman came home and found
Eda in the new dress that was hers to
wear to the party and to wear any
time she desired.
They were very glad, and Eda went
to the party after all.

Child Plays Fireman

Dear Aunt Laurie
There is a little boy who lives next
door to us and he dearly loves to turn
on the water and play in it. He is
only about three years old, but when
ever he gets the chance he runs away
and comes over to our house. Then he
just runs for the hydrant in the front
of our house. That hydrant has
hose on it and there is a nozzle on
the hose.
When his mother or one of his sis
ters try to get him and take him home
he takes up the hose and turns the
full force of the water on them. Then,
try as they will to get him, he is too
quick for them.
So we had to fix that hydrant so
that he could not turn it on. Then he
went to the hydrant just outside our
back door, But he didn't bother that
one very long.
One morning mamma said that she
thought the hydrant on the back of
the lot was running and so l went and
looked out. and there was the little
boy with that hydrant turned on and
calmly throwing the water on the
barn. This certainly was unexpected,
for that hydrant is not like an ordi-
nary one and is difficult to turn. But
the little fellow is so cute that you
