VTIILFRED and Margaret were having 1t
w quite hot and heavy as to whether
they got up today tomorrow. You see
it was this way. They had said their
prayers and been tucked into their small
beds by mother when Wilfred called across
TO sister: Tomorrow We'll get up and go
fishing" mo. we won't" replied sister,
I'VE get up today"
Now believe me or net, Wilfred is SIX
years old and Margaret is not yet four.
And that is true, for 1 know them my
self.
"Why no, we don't, Margaret, it's today
now" said Wilfred. mo it's not, it's to-
night" she said and had the last word.
for that appeared to squelch Wilfred for
a moment He could not contest that, SO
they went peacefully to sleep
Next morning. however, when Mar
garet's dancing eyes first saw the sun. up
she sat in bed and called across to brother:
"NVilfred is this today or tomorrow TO
day." responded brother sleepily. "Ah
ha," said the small sister, pointing her
tiny finger at him.
Well on and off the argument contin-
ued all day Margaret contendng that 1t
was never tomorrow, and Wilfred contend
ing that there was always a tomorrow,
and when father arrived from business
they We're going strong.
So he butted into the conversation and
tried to explain to Margaret that there
was always E tomorrow for today, because
II meant something in the future. Mar
saret could not see that. Finally, her
father said: "Well. Margaret. why do you
say that night falls but it never breaks,
and day breaks but it never fals?" Mar
garet stopped for a moment and thought
deeply; then, raising her small finger she
said, Papa you are right"
Some brain work in that. family, don't
YOU think? NANCY WYNNE.
