THE NAUGHTY COLDS.

MI. and Mrs. Cold were having &
very good time. Now, when most peo
pie have good time it means that
they're playing or singing or laughing
or dancing or reading or hearing music.
Perhaps it means they're having a
party of some sort. or perhaps it may
mean they're in swimming or having =
picnic. Oh, there are lots and lots
OF ways of having good times as every
one knows.
But when Mr.. and Mrs. Cold have a
good time it is something very differ
ent from what we mean a good time.
In the first place, Mr. and Mrs. Cold
are very disagreeable people. They
have always been disagreeable. Their
daddy and mother were the same way,
and as for Aunt Grippe and their
Uncle BrOnchitis-well, they're hor-
rid old creatures, / can tell you.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cold have very mean
childrens too. There is Susy SneeZe,
for example. She has the worst sort
of disposition! She just loves to
plague people and make them as I'M
comfortable as she can.
Then there is Charlie Cough. He
likes to hurt creatures You can just
imagine how mean he is. And there
Is Sadie Sore-Throat, and Hatty Head
ache. They are all children of Mr..
and. Mrs. Cold
Lets go on a trip" they said to
the children.
"All right" said the children. They
always agree to go a-traveling, and
the worst thing about them is that they
have many cousins and relations, and
their cousins and relations are just
as busy a-traveling as they are!
81 think" said Mrs. Cold, "we'll go
and call on a little girl named Annette
She is such nice little girl, I'd like
to make her feel uncomfortable. Let's
give her good dose of u.s."
And the Cold children clapped their
hands.
as she nice?" they said. And when
their mother and daddy said:
ooh, she is wonderfully NICE they
were just Overjoyed. That is how
mean they are. They love to be hor-
rid to nice, nice boys and girls and
grown-ups!
SO they picked up their suitcases
with plenty of Susy Sneezes best
froclzs. and plenty of Charlie Coughs
extra neckties, and lots of Hatty Head
aches hair ribbons and Sadie Sore
Threats collars and off they went
Their hair ribbons and collars and
dresses aren't like nice children's, for
obey are mean like themselves!
"Oh, please" said Annette. when
they all arrived, 81 didn't ask you to
come and see me. | don't need YOU
I have a nice daddy and a nice mother
ell of my own. l don't want Mr.. and
Mrs. Cold and l have two nice broth
ers, and l don't want any others, or
even any sisters. Please go away"
But the Cold family paid no atten-
ton They were so mean they liked
being where they weren't wanted.
But the time passed and the dream
king found out that Annette had some
horrid visitors. The dream king hur-
ried to tell the fairy queen about it.
Did you ever hear of such rudeness
and such unllindness as that horrible
Cold family Show?" he said.
''We'l put stop to this, Dream
King" said the fairy queen. "Thant
yor for telling me. | know that little
Girl Annette. Yes, I know her well
She has golden hair and fair skin ano
blue eyes. And she lives in city
house. All. yes, I know her. JUS
like that horrid Cold family to go AND
bother some one who is nice!'
The fairy queen set to work. Shf
called together all her assistants and
they hurried to Annette's house when
she was fast asleep.
They gave the Cold family goo@
talking to and they waved their wands
over Annette so that the Cold family
were driven away.
And in the meantime the old drenm
king had told the dream fairies aho1'
Annette and they made up the mon
wonderful package of dreams, towels
dreams sent to her as she was getting
all, all we'll again. But the dream
King himself made up this poem +
her:
'<nnette is so nice, Annette is SO sweet
Just Annette herself is a great big treat:
