By CLARA POEHLMAN.

Mother wants to know if she can have" began small Clara. trotting into Mrs Browns back hall. Then she sniffed.
 "Um-l guess I smell fudge!" she exclaimed. stepping slowly but sure y toward the kitchen door. 'I haven't had any fudge for the longest time.
 Tt isn't fudge? We'll. I'm sure it smells like fudge. What is 1t? Cho- colate. We'll like that, too.
 "Oh, no. I'm not hungry. That is. J am hungry, but don't think I'd bet. ter take any chocolate. We'll. I would Ike cup. maybe. It smells like fudge and chocolate soda. had a choco- late soda last night
 What's that in the little pan? It's such cunning little pan Eggs? Why don't you just boil them in the tea kettlef don't see why 1t wouldn't oe clean I'm sure my mother does. Anyway. she would if she thought of 1t
 'Oh. what's that cunning little orushf Why. it's a toothbrush, isn't It! Do you brush your teeth out here? Oh. you use 1t for vegetables! Do some of them have teeth the same as potatoes have eyes? I'm sure my mother doesn't brush our vegetables teeth.
 Oh. yes. see. You scrub the dirt hot ,&t@ find sand on my baked potatoes.
 But l think the toothbrush for the vegetables is fine. Is 1t yours or MT. Browns?
 "Oh, l thought 1t was just a worn out one you were using up out here. You know, sometimes the bristles get old and fall out-and stick into you but they wouldn't hurt the vegetables. would they? I think it is a very good way to use up your old brushes-and MT. Brown has such big teeth that he must use up lots of them. Oh, yes. I forgot; you did say this was a new one. But 1 think when I tell mother she'll use old ones, for we've got so many around.
 Once l brushed my teeth-that's how l know about the loose bristles. don't know whose brush 1t was, but 1t was the incest looking one in the bathroom. so 1 took some of mothers new face cream and put on it and then brushed the baby's teeth. He made such fuss that I just brushed my own to show him 1t was all right only. of course. didn't use face cream on my teeth. 1 could tell from the way the baby acted that 1t didn't taste as good as 1t smelled. But the bristles came out all over my mouth and was sorry I'd brushed my teeth
 That chocolate was awfully good Were you making it for lunch or just for us for between meals lunch? Ii 1t was just made for us, I'll drink an other cup with you.
 Why don't you drink any? You want to save some for MT. Brown! Sometimes my mother does just like that. She says she gauges things wrong. That's what you did. isn't 1t! I should think you'd make big pan full for any one as big as Mir Brown
 My mother puts more cream IF chocolate than you do. but like thii just as we'll
 Don't you make any dessert fol lunch? I don't like to eat very vel without dessert like pie with ice cream on 1t. but I guess 1t costs good deal.
 "Mr. Brown doesn't like desserti Oh. he's fooling you. Don't you be lieve him.
 "I thought I saw some cake over there. Oh, that's for company to night? l sec Would you call me company when just came up in the morning? Would you like me to show you my doll tonight?
 "Oh, there's my mother calling. She asked me to come here and get some -I forgot what. I'll just run down and ask and then I'll come back.
 Shall bring my doll to show your company tonight?"-Chicago Daily News.
