Your suggestion is good, Maude,
and l will suggest such an arrange
ment to the Juniors. But l will be
content to put your arguments in the
Personal Chats column this week.
"can I, brother? VIII you really
let me in?"
Eyes, yes" cried Teddy
And that night when nurse put him
to bed, Freddy was the happiest per-
son in the house. He was really hap
landy and wished to go there every
evening until his picture was done.
But now that he had told Freddy he
could go he would not go himself for
anything at all.
At o'clock next morning Freddy
was awake. Without waking Teddy
he jumped out of bed and put on
Teddy's clothes. for he was anxious
to go to that lovely lady. But for one
moment he stopped.
"Ohl oh! oh!' he said, and then burst
into tears He cried very softly, for
fear he might awaken his brother
"Oh, how bad I have been to tell dear
little Teddy that ii was awful TO nave
your picture painted, and that you had
to sit so still, and had to have some
thing on your tooth which hurt"
But he dressed quickly, for he had
no time to lose.
When they arrived at the lady's
house she kissed him as usual. Then
she brought out the music box, the
dog and the cat He Immediately set
to work by pulling the cats tail and
teasing the dog. The lady looked at
him as if to say, "You are not the boy
you were yesterday"
Then Freddy went up to the music
box took it up and deliberately threw
1t on the floor.
The lady looked at him, then at his
mother, who said:
"Teddy, is that you or is 1t Freddy?'
Then Freddy saw his mistake and
burst into tears. "Oh, mamma, was l
naughty? I will never do it again
Please let me have my picture drawn
with Teddy"
1t was so pitiful that Mrs. Merrill
consented SO Teddy was sent for and
there were not two happier little boys
than Teddy and Freddy when they
got the picture. Teddy had taught
his brother a lesson which he never
forgot Your niece,

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The man who seemed to be at the
head of the work keeping the princess
asleep told Prince Florizel that If he
would go into another room with him
he would tell him why they were
keeping the princess asleep with the
flowers, which were poppies.
The prince followed him into the
room and when there the man said:
Our princess when she is awake
is so beautiful that we have been told
If we do not keep her asleep prince
would come some time and take her
away with him and we would never
see her again. We did not want to lose
her and SO we have worked night ana
day to keep her asleep"
"Well," said the prince, 'if you will
let me have the princess for my wife
l will promise to move to your beau
tiful land and live with the princess"
From the first time he had seen her
he had become kinder and more just.
The people of the beautiful land con-
sented and he returned to his home to
tell his mother and father and to pre-
pare for the beautiful wedding he
wished to have. His mother and IA
ther We're overjoyed to find out that
he was no longer cruel and selfish.
Soon the king and queen and their
son went to the strange land all pre-
pared for the marriage. While the
prince had been away the people had
been preparing for the wedding of the
princess, but they did not wake her up
until the prince had arrived. for they
still feared that some one might come
and take her.
Then they were married and had
big feast afterward and invited all the
people nearby. They lived in big
palace and the prince was happy in
the new land.
