Beatrice 1t was
different. Beatrice would not have
liked a cold climate, but for visit it
was entirely different. And that was
the way each one felt about the part
of the land where the other lived.
zone morning Beatrice said to It'd
dy:
Let's cut some roses There were
so many roses and flowers that Tiddy
didn't know what to make of such
quantities of them.
How will we ever find enough
vases to put them in?' she asked.
son. said Beatrice, well only take
the ones with the great long stems for
the vases and leave the others on the
ground
scare you joking?' asked Tiddy.
NO, certainly not said Beatrice.
"You mean you're going to leave
them to some One?'
Every one around here has all the
roses imaginable. 1t may seem strange
to have all the roses one can use and
give away and enjoy but that's the
truth. And we really cut them off
and let them drop on the ground, be-
cause we fry to make them grow with
longer stems next time
"Tiddy was never so surprised in
her life. II was like living in land
of roses. She had never visited Bea-
trice before in the rose season. How
wonderful ii all was-roses and suli-
shine and warmth and beautiful coun-
try.
And. too, when she had visited Bea-
trice before she was so very young she
hadn't noticed such things. She had
been only very wee child and had
thought of nothing but nice warm bot
ties of milk and rattles!
when night came and she had be-
come used to seeing roses, roses every
wherein the ground, in vases, on
the buShes-She saw an enormous
moon come up from behind hill.
"'Did you ever, in your life, see
such big. such ridiculously big
moon?' she asked Beatrice.
Beatrice laughed. We'll, suppose
am so used to seeing such a big
moon that it doesn't surprise me-
"Tiddy couldn't think of anything
else after she had gone to bed but the
many. many roses and the great big
moon.
in little while she saw something
round and yellow at the end of her
bed And it began to grow bigger and
bigger until it covered up all the iron
rods at the foot.
"'Well, Miss Tiddy,' said the Moon
in low and solemn voice, how do
you like this part of the wordy
"I like it. she said; in fact, love
it, but it doesn't seem real
"'Now,' said the Moon, that is what
I don't. understand. When things are
beautiful and wonderful and everyone
is happy folks will say, at doesn't
seem real" And if things are going
wrong they think they are very real.
Lovely things and happy things are
just as real as the other kind--just as
real, Miss Tiddy.'
