in from their game OF tennis.
"Grandma's silver wedding will b.

sent you two q plant each. She say,
you must tend and water It CAREFUL,
and bring II with you when you come
to her party. Then to the one whose
flower looks best she win give . pretty
watch"
The two plants stood on a table. One
was airy and graceful. and the Other
rather stumpy In appearance.

Prue. grabbing the pot and rannins on,
OF the room. So True had to be con.
tented with the other.
For few days both girls scent much
time with their flowers, watering and
d!gging about the roots. but Prue soon
got tired and neglected to even look at
It for a week. Prue every morning
poured fresh water at the roots, then
placed It in the sun. and when sne
came home from school would get a
fork and gently turn over the earth in
the pot. All the dead leaves she picx-
ed off. and when any insects came 70
| eat the leaves. she sprayed the branch
so that nothing remained to harm the
foliage.
But Prue's plant soon wilted. Some
times It got water and again II did 7ot,
SO I'm six weeks II was a scraggy thing
! that seemed half alive. Both pots stood
in the corner OF the flower bed in the
back yard. And when Prue stopped late
one evening to take a peep at True's
plant. she was surprised to see how
! strong It looked and how 1t had devel-
oped into fine bush with a big. pur-
rle blossom like a feather pushing Its
way out of the large bud that swung
high above the pot.
Her own made her feel ashamed. but
she got angry with True, not with her
self. II fretted her to see how nicely
her sister had cared for her plant,
while the one which had been the best
at first was now an ugly, shriveled
stick
When she ran home and sat on hei
bed. she heard her mother talking In
the next room about the silver wedding
