SMALL GIRL OBEYED ORDERS
He Was Wonderful, because
Mother Told Her TO-"

A well-known American author tells
of an amusing incident that occurred
during a reception given in his honor
by London society woman. The
lionizing accorded this writer, who is
a great favorite in England, did not
upset him, nor was he chagrined by
an embarrassing situation that con-
fronted him just before the reception
closed
1t was then that the hostess brought
up to him her daughter, pretty child
of seven years. Just as soon as she
had been presented, the youngster
said in a loud, clear voice:
81 think you're very wonderful
man"
why do you say that, my dear?"
asked the author smiling.
Because" said the little girl, moth
er told me to."-Harper's Magazine.
