ing Montague Montmorency crying for
another month";"
"Ill write to them all at once" said
Mrs. Montmorency land ask them to
come to lunch tomorrow"
So she did, and the next day exactly
at IL o'clock, the seven queer old ladies
appeared. They wore big glasses and
pointed hats, and they were all very
precise, indeed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Montmorency tried TO
talk with them through lunch and art
erward told them of their trouble. The
seven fairy godmothers were not par
tieularly surprised, for they had heard
the voice of Montague Montgomery
Montmorency ever since they had been
there but they had been too polite to
say anything.
The first fairy godmother looked at
him for a moment and had a sudden
inspiration.
tea" she said. 81 know l usually feel
quite upset if 1 don't have afternoon
tea"
"Oh, but he's not allowed teal" said
Mrs. Montmorency hastily; "the doctor
wouldn't permit it."
The second fanny godmother now had
an inspiration. "I think he'd like yon
to read him a little poetry" she said;
something soothing"
Mr. Montmorency went down to the
library and brought up volume of
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-11

long and beautiful verses. He didn't
feel very hopeful but he started read
ing while the ladies stood around eX-
pectantly. But Montague, etc, didn't
stop at all. In fact he cried harder
than ever, if possible. Then all the
other fairy godmothers suggested rem
edies, with as little success, until they
came to the last.
"What did you say this child's name
is?" she asked
1--WE call him Montague Montgomery
Montmorency-for short" said his fa-
ther. His real name has fifty-seven
syllables!" he added. with pride, land
it rhymes all the way through. I COM
posed it myself I'll say it to you"
But at this the baby commenced cry
ing to such an alarming extent that six
of the fairy godmothers had to lee
the room.
"I thought SOL" declared the seventh;
that's what's the matter with him.
The burden of that name is too great
for so young a child. Call him Jack
now, and each year add aonther name
but don't give them to him all at once"
''I say there, Jack" said Mr.. Mont
morency; II think you've cried long
enough
Immediately there was a peaceful
silence, and in no time Jack was COO

day he has been the best baby in the

Whose face always wore a bright smile,
When he heard a good Joke
He would laugh till he'd choke,
And then he would run mile.

There once was a big crocodile,
Whose face always wore a bright smile,
When he heard a good joke
He would laugh till he'd choke,
And then he'd swim a while.
