her FRUGAL LUNCH.
And the Pathos of the Little child's
Humbied Pride.

And the Pathos of the Little child's
Humbled Pride.
In one of the biggest of Cleve-
lands public schools some of the
smaller children, children of the
primary grade, bring their lunches
when they come in the morning.
A large proportion of the pupils
in the building are children of for
eign parentage, quite number are
of foreign birth, and many of them
are from humble homes, where the
food is the simplest and the mouths
are many.
Among these little lunch bearers
The teacher in certain room had
her attention drawn to girl whose
noontime feast seemed invariably
the same-a thick slice of black
bread and boiled egg. They were
neatly wrapped in clean square Of
paper, and, while the other lunches
might vary in material, this modest
spread included Just the two ar
ticles mentioned.
There is pride in little hearts
even over so small matter as the
simplest of simple luncheons, and,
while the child with only sand
wich envies the child with the cakes
and. the orange, this child with the
black bread and the boiled egg
seemed to be fully satisfied with
her portion, for an egg, look you,
can be both necessity and luxury.
And so during the noon hour the
child would contentedly seek a
dusky corner of the school base
ment and there, quite alone, dis
pose of the frugal meal.
But one day a dreadful thing
happened.
As the child opened the package
the egg slipped from her fingers
and fell to the foori
And, 10, it wasn't real egg at
all, but just an imitation, an earth
enware egg, a make believe egg that
is sometimes called nest eggi
When it fell it struck the floor
with a sharp crack that drew gen.
eral attention. And the unhappy
child burst into tears.
Here was an end to the little de-
ception that had ministered to her
childish pride and placed her on a
level with her more fortunate
schoolmates. Here was the humil-
iating wreck Of the simple subter-
fuge that had helped conceal the
grinding poverty of the child's
home.
Small wonder then that the tears
ran down her cheeks and that the
proud little heart long refused
to be cUmforted.- Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
