The dinner passed off beautifully, and
the guest turned out 10 be a very de-
lightful man, and Anne brayely and gaily
held up her end OF the line and sparkled
and bubbled. and by the time dessert was
served she was really having quite as
good time as she was making other peo-
lie have.
Next night another man was asked in
fer dinner, and also the third night. and
Y this time Anne looked 10 years young
Ell, and during the day Mrs. Petunia, who
was very charitably inclined. took her
little relative with her on some charity
missions where little crippled children In
hospitals were lying all day on the poor
little beds, gazing up at the ceiling and
ere made happy by the fairy stories that
Anne told them while Mrs Petunia at
tended TO other matters at the hospital

is more pathetic in life than the dear

The whole scheme turned out beau

Mrs. Petunia had taken the little grief
stricken widow out of herself and she
announced at the breakfast table next
morning that she had decided to become
a trained nurse.
IT don't have to do it, except that |
