moon and then a little to the left, they

In fact 1t was such tiny star that

the little star very much-so very much
that he kept one of his ever watchful
eyes turned toward it all of the time.
In turn did the little star love the

she has hardly spoken to me since! Won't

The mother of Marjorie was silent. Yes,
it was true. She had been all too clever
in shielding yer young daughter from the
penalty of her own impetuosity and rude

1t was not easy, but after little the

I'm spite of all Of this, however, my
husband will calmly knock of his ashes,
or drop his brunt matches on the rugs,

within six inches Of him, there is a

His friends follow his example. and
as the result I spend hours every day
of needless labor trying to rub white

the ashes out Of the rugs. OF course,
my husband says, manlike, Why not let
the ashes stay where they are dropped?'
