it all up. He was transferred to the M. +.

DID I tell you about Mother and the
- goldfish? Well, you see in December,
when 1t became little cool, Mother con-
tracted a bad cold, and so Father bundled
her off to Florida with Betty and Mary
and they did not come back until the end
of last month. Just about month before
they went away Mother, who is very fond
of pets, had bought some goldfish, and 1t
was her delight to watch them. And every
morning and evening they would come
swimming up to the top Of the bowl search,
ting for the food which she scattered on the
waters surface for them. While Mother
and the daughters were away the little fish
all died, but Father was not to be con-
Aauered by that, and so. the day before the
family's return he hied him downtown and
bought a whole new set of fish. r..
Well, Mother had scarcely been home
more than an hour before she wanted to
see her dear little fishes. Upstairs they
all trooped and Mother gazed lovingly at
the fish, and as the glinting little things
swan up to the top she smiled tenderiy
and turning to Father murmured, see
see: they know me, dear"
