Goodnight" to her friends. Then she came in and went to bed, always | thinking of the visit to the farm. | Soon she fell fast asleep and dreamed l about it.
 Early the next morning Maggie was | startled by her mother, who was com | ing to wake her up. She jumped out | of bed and rubbed her sleepy eyes. Her mother sat down beside her and Mag gie told her about her dream.
 This is what she said: Mother, have dreamed that I was visiting uncle's farm. You hired an automo- bile and we rode in 1t to the farm. We arrived there at eight o'clock in the morning. Uncle had done all the work about the farm. such as milk ing, feeding, watering, etc. They were just eating their breakfast, when we rapped at the door. Auntie came out and greeted us in her kiVdest man ner. and asked us to breakfast which we refused.
 After their breakfast, auntie vel l coned us into the parlor. Auntie sat down in rocker and you and I sat l on the sofa.
 We were talking about the life in l the city and in the country. Just then came in uncle, who joined in with us. After a while auntie played on the l piano, and 0h. how sweet the music was, mother. Then came in the cook ! who brought us some refreshments.
 After much joking. laughing, and talking about the war, we went out to view the beautiful. the sun was hot, the air smelled so sweetly. and how
 the birds did sing.
 We went out to the pastures to see the COWS. Then I saw cousin. Julia | fho ho fo me and asked me if I wanted to go
 berrying. I said yes, and away we
 ran. We picked all the berries that
 we could eat. We did not pick too
 many for Julia said that they would
 like to can some. Then Julia thought
 ti was dinner time, so we walked
 slowly to the farm house.
 After dinner Julia washed the dishes and I helped her wipe them. Then she led me to meadow and showed me lark's nest with young ones in it. Then she took me to an ether meadow where uncle and the hired men were loading the wagons ! with hay.
 When one wagon was loaded uncle helped me get on the load and Julia got on herself.
 The hay smelled very fresh and sweet. Just then a thought came tC me and l asked her if she had a wal l garden. She told me that she no . only had war garden but she alsc : was buying thrift stamps.
 When the hay was ready to unload Julia showed me how to jump off
 was little afraid at first but when
 saw Julia down, then I jumped off
 too!
 We ran to Julia's war garden I
 was very heat l think. From there WI y could see the apple orchard. The ap = pies weren't quite ripe yet, so W 0 didn't get any. Next she called m Il to see some grapeVines where ther ;. was a nest with four blue eggs. e We had a little talk about birds e then I asked her where Her brother
 were and sine said they were hoe1n e and wedding.
 e I didn't want to go anywhere now 0 but to the brook So we started t
 go there. On the way We saw man S Interesting things. If we were bare ! foot, we would have waded, but in e stead we tried to catch the fish tha e were swimming so nicely. We couldn l, catch any because they slipped out (
 our hands.
 It We saw many toads and we trie = to scare them, for We liked to SC l, them jump into the water. Then " $ went home. We saw the men goin
 to milk, so Julia took two cups an IS we ran into the barn. When uncl o had milked one COW he gave each (
 us cup of fresh milk"
 And how does your dream stor
 end?" asked mother.
 "Oh, don't know, for you called m
 and I doH't know what would happe
 next" Shswered Maggie. S That's all right" said her mother o o ''but dress up, quick, for we're lat ,1, anyway
