XII WENT to Venice with the editors
and had a jolly time said the
"A girl with the bunged-up face,


and had a jolly time" said the
n girl with the bunged-up face,
whose name was Marjory.
Il went in bathing every day,
bumped the bumps and rode on the
miniature railway and merry-go round.
There is a place on the Midway
called the bumps 1t is merely a slide
covered with large and small bumps.
l went in there and skinned my elbows
all up.
Il also went on the merry -go-round
several times, which made me very
sick.
I'VE had a little villa on the canal,
but l wasn't in it more than fifteen
minutes a day.
Il am not used to being up late at
night, but l was up at night a great
part of the time. l also ate apples, or
anges, peaches, apricots plums, pea
nuts, cherries popcorn, ice cream
candy and many other useless things
I'VE could have a boat to ride on the
canal and l also went on that. l also
went into the plunge at least two hours
a day. l think this explains my
swollen face" ANNA EBERLE.

grade; age 13 years.
1 must tell you first of all that it
was all the fault of a stick of candy
Dotty was seven. She had just start
ed to go to school, Dotty was sorry
to stay out and mamma was sorry she
had to-but oh, that wretched tooth!
How it did ache!
1t was a bright party of boys and
girls who went in the hay wagon to
Medford woods. 1t was Dotty's first
picnic. At Medford woods the children
played and romped to their hearts
content.
After a while dinner was called.
There was pie, cake, fruit and every
thing one would want.
When dinner was over each child
was given stick of candy.
"Dotty, you had better not eat it.
Your teeth are not we'll enough yet"
"Oh, mama, just this one piece won't
hurt me-"
mo, 1 say" returned her mother
gently but firmly
Dotty ran off to play but she did
not lay down her candy.
Il bet I can beat you eatin' your
candy Dot" cried May, Dotty's chum.
"No, you can't, neither" And down
she gobbled the candy before she
thought of what her mother had said.
Well, she would pay for it now. She
had been out of school two days now.
HOW Will L get my CAdihliid tlOilo
she cried.
"I don't know, dear. If you had
minded mamma you would be at school
now" said her mother.
Dotty walled all day until May came
over.
ooh, May, I wi1h you would bring
my books home so 1 can study" she
cried
SO the next night May carried Dot
tvs books home
She struggled with the lessons until
finally, when she went back to school,
she passed all tests.
Dotty promised her mother she
would never disobey her any more.
l think she learned a good lesson
in the wonderful school of "eXperi-
ence" don't you?

Il know a secret, mamma. and I'll
tell 1t to you, but no one else shall
know" announced little Katherine
Stone to her mother, climbing up on
her lap. 'Well, dear, tell mother your
grand secret" answered Mrs. Stone,
stroking Katherines dark curls. She
put her lips close to her mothers ear
and whispered, "Aunty Peace is going
to have a sewing class for Ruth and
me. No one else knows about 1t.
We're to sew Saturday afternoons,
and wear little badges. Won't brother
Dick wonder what we're doing?'
Dick wondered much when every
Saturday afternoon Aunt Peace, Ruth
and Katherine shut themselves in
Katherine's sunny room and sounds of
laughter and merry chat came to his
ears. When they came out they car
ried bags, but he was never allowed to
look in them.
One Saturday he thought he would
investigate Katherine's bag, and ran
after her to get it. She stumbled on a
board and fell. cutting her cheek badly
on a rusty nail. Dick was instantly all
remorse, carried her in the house.
Stopped the bleeding and bandaged her
face.
When she was able to go back to
school she still wore a bandage. She
had no trouble with the examinations,
but in spelling her cheek hurt her so
she spelled zinc, Z-i-n-k.
She told her friends that she cut her
cheek on a rusty nail She didn't say
that Dick was chasing her, because
he had atoned for that by amusing her
while her cheek hurt.
