colored suit trimmed with black fur
and plain, dark blue velvet hat. The

pleased and proud mother, n role which
was most becoming TO her.
ChE went over to spend the afternoon
- with "Gamma" one day last week
when Mother "simplY had TO so to New
York for the day to shop" and Mary
had an afternoon out, so Gamma"
was delighted to have her to herself.
They played together most of the
afternoon and had a wonderful time;
In fact. before the playing was over
and Mother came for wee Jeanie even
Gamma So locks were the worse for
wear. They'd had a regular romp.
Thinking TO prepare for dinner,
Gamma" started to fix her hair.
Jeanie as matter of fact is only three
years old and so, as often happens,
gone Of us grown ups are bit jndis
Greet in what we say and do before n
Mddie of that age, thinking they aren't

Jeanie was sitting on the end of the
couch or getting up and running about
most of the time, then for while she
was silent. and when Gamma" looked
in her direction she found her gazing
at her with large round eyes, and this
was what she said in wondering tone:
Gamma, when will Jeanie be old
enough to have her hair go 90 long she
can lay it on the booreau?"
