60 up to their room right away.
1t was sunny room with south
bay window, and pink wall y;-per;
and there were white twin beds,
two little rockers and everything
two little children would want.
But one of the first things to catch
their eye was a Chinese lily grow
ing in a low glass vase on the
broad window sill. Jimmie G. at
once began to lift out the stones
In the vase to see how the roots
were growing, but Grandmother
Gray rescued the poor flower in
time, and then leaving the chill
dren to unpack their clothes and
hang them up in the big closet,
she went down stairs to finish
baking some ginger bread.
All was well for about twenty
minutes, and then came sounds Of
You did too," Il didn't either"
you know you did" II never"
you're cross-eyed idiot, and
you know it,"
Grandmother Gray stopped to
listen, and sure enough, there was
a slap, then another and another,
followed by. You stop that, you
hateful boy" And scampering
steps were heard on the stairs just
before a fearful but defiant Jean
burst into the kitchen closely fol-
lowed by an equally defiant jim
inie G.
Both started talking as loud as
they could telling all about 1t but
finally Grandmother Gray learned
that Jean had upset Jimmie G.'s
model builder, and then Jimmie
had pushed Rosebud Virginia on
the floor and stepped on her dress
to get 1t dirty, on purpose! He
said Jean did it on purpose, too,
but she denied 1t. 80 they had
argued and Jimmie had called her

A BAD GIRL

Once upon a time there was a lit
tie girl. Her name was Mary. She
was about nine years old, ard was
a very bad girl. She liked very
much to run away. SO one day she
wanted to go to her friends house.
SO she asked her mother, and he..
mother said she did not want her to
go because she wanted her to stay
home and wash the dishes. But
Mary said, II don't like to wash
dishes. And I want to play, so l
am going to 60"
So Mary went and she stayed
about an hour. Then she came
home and she called and called but
no one answered. Then she called
again but still no one answered. SO
she laid down and cried. She cried
and cried. Then pretty soon her
mother came home. Her mother
was at the neighbors. And Mary
was so scared that she never ran
away again.

GRANDMOTHER GRAY'S
ANSWER

Mabel was sitting on the foot
stool by Grandmother Gray's low
rocker. her face up-turned. waiting
for an answer.
"And so you have a teacher who
thought you would cheat" said
Grandmother Gray, very slowly.
THAT means you have never made
real friends with your teacher, or
else she wouldn't misunderstood
SO badly. You will meet lots Of
people in your life who will mis-
Judge you, dear, and you will want
to draw away from them and say
mean things about them, too. But
that never does any good. It Is
like little hole In dyke that
grows bigger with every unkind
word. and lets in a whole sea full
Of trouble. Get acquainted with
your teacher, smile, and cement
this little break with friendship, so
strong that 1t never can be the
cause of flooding your life with
unhappiness again. Does that
seem hard? 1t won't be If you
really try, and Mabel, dear, you
never will be sorry"

Story Corner

Little sister Marcy had the
measles. Nobody knew just how
she could have taken them, but
nevertheless the measles che had,
and little Jean and Jimmie G. were
hastily packing up all their things
to 60 down to Grandmother Gray's
while the house was Quarantined.
II was the first time they ever
had been down to Grandmother
Gray's really to live for three
weeks, and they could hardly wait
to get their little suit cases and
bags packed up. Jean took her
big doll. Rosebud Virginia, for fear
she would catch the measles too,
and Jimmie G. insisted on taking
his marbles and base ball and In

door to meet them, and let them
