and made from the finest wax.
Wnen everything was ready for the
picnic and Grace's big brother Joe had
called from the yard door that he was
waiting with the horse and carriage
Grace took FlOretta in her arms and her
father helped her into the carriage in
the back of which had already been
placed the big covered basket, which
contained the contribution Grace's moth
er had made to the picnic feast.
When Grace got to the grove there
were dozens of other little girls like
herself all ready for the outing with
their dolls. All day they played until
every little girl was tired and Grace
was pretty nearly ready to fall asleep.
In fact she was so tired that when
brother Joe said he would look after
the basket and Floretta Grace was per-
tectly willing to leave 1t to him and
did not ask any questions as to what
he did with them. But big brothers
are sometimes fOrgetful. and while he
picked up the basket and put it in the
back Of the carriage. he left Floretta
sitting on TIE ground with her back
against a tree and no way of letting
Grace know she had been forgotten,
and no way of getting home by herself.
One by one she saw the carriages
drive away with the little girls and
their dolls until at last Floretta found
herself all alone in the wood with no
one near her. She had never had such
an experience before. and she did not
know whether to be frightened or NOT
1t was not long before she heard two
squirrels chattering in the tree above
her
Did you ever hear such a racket as

And down both squirrels came as fast
as they could. They came so fast that ,
they almost stepped on Floretta before
they saw her.
What do you suppose that is?' asked
one squirrel.

be mystery forever. They waited impa-
tien:ly for darkness to come so the owl
could see and when. about o'clock, the
OWL came to view the strange sight the
animals were grouped all about to hear
the first word of his decision.
t1oretta was quite annoyed by the
way the animals stared at her. and
when the owl came hooting through the
woods she was really very much fright
ened.
The owl lighted on the ground in front
OF her, and looking at first one side
and then the other, he seemed to be
trying to make up his mind when and
where he had ever seen anything like
FIoretta before. And finally, wise as he
was, he announced that he would have
to give it up, and 1t looked like a tiny
baby, but 1t didn't cry. and 1t did not
move and. anyway, 1t wasn't very pret-
ty, and the animals had better let il
alone for while, and see II it grew
INTO anything. So all the animals de-
cided not to disturb FIoretta, and each
went home to go to bed.
They had all been gone for some
little time when Old Madame Bear
came walking through the wood. "I

eye fell upon Floretta Now Madame
Bear had taken many a trip to the
edge of the wood in search of food.
and from a distance she had seen the
children playing in the fields and she
knew in a minute that Floretta was
a doll, and the idea Immediately pop-

could for the den, where she had left

Good Boys Flogged
When List Is Switched

One of Lady Reay's recollection is of
dinner party at which she had for
her nelghbor, Mr.. Gladstone, in his
happiest mood. He told her Of his
Eton experience and tales of terrible
little DR.. Keate. The latter always had
the names of those doomed to be
of paper.
One day, picking up such a list, he
called up for flogging the boys whose
names were inscribed upon it, Upon
such occasions the delinquents were
not pernitted to offer explanations, so
boy after boy was castigated and re-
turned sore and savage to his seat.
Not until the operation was COM
pleted did he learn that instead of the
t'ogging he had picked up the slip on
which were the names of the boys
about to be confirmed.-London Ideas.

Porch Season.

The season is at hand to render the
porch inhabitable. Driven from the
heated interior of the home and re-
strained from living on the front
lawn by publicity, the family should
take refuge from the heat in the front
or side veranda. By an adjustment of
awnings and hammocks and rustic
benches it may be made secluded, rest
full and highly attractive to all the
members of the household. The meals
may even be taken there, to the ad-
vantage of both comfort and health.
