visit To Aunt Ida, who owned a big estate
down in Virginia with a wide lawn
sweeping down to the river, great orchards
of apples and peaches. and vast meadows,
where herds of fat cattle grazed on the
tender grass. So, of course, Tessie was
delighted to go.
For DAYS she was in a great state OF
excitement. And this made her usually
untldy habits worse than usual
Now, Tessie, said her mother, the
day before the child WAS to start, II
do hope you will not act at Aunt Ida
like YOU do at home. have been too
easy with YOU, have allowed YOU to
throw your things about in any old way.
But YOU are getting too old now for that
