Po1ly's Birthday

II say it's shame-a real shame!.
It WAS 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and
Polly had gone to her own room 10
have fit Of crying.
IL wouldn't let anybody know how
I feel about it for the world. But
to think of it's being my birthday, and
not a single thing done to make 1t a
greater day to me than any other day
in the year! Well don't care!"
And, to show how little she cared,
Polly burst into another flood of tears.
IF mamma had been here, 1t
wouldn't have been so.'
But mamma was not here, and Polly
knew she would haye to make the
best of it.
IT wouldn't let one of them know

for the world! If they don't want to
thing about my birthday, they
needn't"
"They" meant Polly's grandfather
grandmother, and Aunt Sarah. Polly's
father was dead, and her mother had
come back to her old home to live
And two weeks ago her mother had
been sent for to go to another aunt
who was very i'll. 1t was owing to her
absence that her birthday had not
been remembered.
She sat by her window, feeling
very forlorn and wretched indeed. The
early spring day was raw and cold
and everything looked gloomy.
"And there's Aunt Sarah going out
Where's she going, wonder? Down
to the village. Well, do think she
might have asked me to go with her
Even that would have been better
than to stay here alone.'
She followed Aunt Sarah with hel
eyes until the last f1utter of her dress
in the wind disappeared as she turned
a corner of the country road. Half 6
mile further on was little village.
