Tho Tree Of Silver.

Once upon a time Bessie's father and
mother moved into the country in q
house that was surrounded by a num-
Der of trees. One tree was just out
side Bessie's window and she thought
it was the most beautiful one she had
ever seen. 1t had big. glossy leave
and it was SO nice to sit beneath when
it was hot.
One day Bessie woke in the morning
and went, as h did almost every
morning, to look 1T her tree. The
leaves were beginning to look brown
and not nearly so pretty as they had
been, and Bessie ran to her mother
crying. "Oh, mother, my beautiful tree
isn't beautiful any more. 1t is all
faded.
Her mother laughed and said: Wait
my dear, and you will see it look pref
ty again. Just watch"
Each day Bessie stood for a long
time gazing at her favorite tree and
soon she saw that the tree was look
ing quite pretty with it's bright red
leaves n it seemed to nod and say:
NOW don you like me in my bright
dress? But wait. l will look even
better than this for l still have another
dress, a dress of silver"
Bessie though nothing could be nicer
than this red leaved tree and she was
a sorry little girl when she saw that
each day the leaves were falling off.
One morning h awoke and there was
her tree without a single leaf and
shaking as though it was cold and it
certainly looked so.
each day it grew colder and colder
until one night her father came home
and said: "Whew, but it's cold out. l
am afraid we are going to have a bad
storm tonight
Bessie looked at her tree when she
went to bed and was sorry that it had
to stay out in the storm, for by that
time it was raining and freezing hard.
The first thing she did in morning
was to run to the window and see If
her tree was all right, and there was
her silver tree. Each branch and twig
was covered with dazzling white FROST
ed rain drops which glistened in the
sun. Bessie could hardly wait to get
dressed so she might tell her father
n mother and have them look at her
tree.
All the rest of the winter she
watched to see If it would wear the
silver dress again, for it was most
beautiful, h decided, in it's glittering
dress Of silver.
