Washing clothes was something en-
tirely different Something that women
did. l wanted to do woman's work,
and thus prove my superiority forever
1 hadn't washed long before great
blisters were raised on my fingers, and
my poor back felt as if it would break
in two.

every piece out on the line, and them
without rolling down my sleeves, I ran
around telling everybody that would
listen to me what great big washing
had done for my mother"
One old lady gratif1ed my vanity
much when she lifted her hands and
exclaimed:

Mother would never complain of my
laziness again.
When the clothes were dry 1 took
them down, piled them in the clothes

hung it up, just as l had seen my moth

Then I became feverish. I was so
anxious for my mother to come home
and see what great things 1 had done.
She came at last. and, leading her out
into the kitchen, l pointed to the basket
of Clothes saying: What do you think
of that?"
"Why, who did the washing?" asked
my mother.
I think it was the proudest moment
of my life when l answered: "Why,

VIZ HEN ] was a little girl 10 years
w of age | was very much of
w dreamer, never better satished
than when l was out AMONG the now
ers dreaming that they We're beautltul
castles or palaces which l was visiting.
It was a passion with me to live out
doors with the birds and flowers, so
much so that I was very little help TO
my poor, hard-worked mother.
She often called me lazy and sald
| didn't earn my salt.
Sometimes I would feel very bitter
toward her when she thus branded me.
Again my better nature would be
touched, and l thought over plans to
best help my mother. Like many an
other l was not satisfied with doing
the little things I could do l wanted
to do something that nobody else or
my size could no, and l spent many
hours dreaming what great things 1
would do as soon as l was big enough.
But one day, when our teacher told us
that nobody accomplished much unless
they began to do things when little, it
set me to thinking.
If mother would only let me do some
thing that no little girl of my size could
do, how willingly would 1 not under
take it.
One day, early Monday morning,
when my mother was called away for
the day to attend to sick person, the
opportunity presented itself, l thought.
j would do the family wash, hang
out the clothes all snowy white on the
line then who would ever date to call
me lazy" again?
I rolled my sleeves up to my elbows
and then began to wrestle with tubs
and water. Il couldn't bear to wash
dishes because I had been called on so
many times for that kind of work.

be tables to eat on and plenty to eat.
The tables will be set under some
trees The winners of the contests
will get prizes. The fifth grade will
have an entertainment in honor of
their teacher the afternoon of the

The eighth grade will graduate with
honors. There will be speaking and

temptuously, [ thought, but then
might be mistaken.
Presently my mother began sprink-
ling the clothes, and | had the extreme
modification of seeing her toss every
piece into an empty tub and then pour
water over them.
Mamma Brown!" l exclaimed, 'is
that the way you appreciate my
work?"
"They are not clean" she said, GRIM
ly. "How often have 1 told you to
stick to the little things. Then you
would be helping me, indeed
I remember that | cried myself to
sleep that night and the next morning
I had the misfortune 20 break some OF
the water blisters and they became
very painful. -,
At length | went to my mother with
them ana holding them up, with quiv-
ering lips l said: "See, my fingers suf-
fering for what l tried to do for you
Yesterday, and it was all for nothing,
too"
Then my mother said: "Poor little
fingers! Sore trying to help mamma!
Then she wrapped them up in cold
cream, and the very best thing about
it. l thought. 1 didn't have to wash
anv more dishes for a week My fin
gers were too sore to put in hot water.
Poor mother! What Datience she had
with me- That has been good many
years ago.
often think if I could only have
those little girl days to go ever again
how I would seek to do the little things
for my mother like washing dishes,
dusting, sweeping the pavement, etc. l
hope there are no other little girls so
thoughtless toward their mother as I
was.-Record- Herald.
