MOTHER and Daddy and the two
lHl little ones boarded the trolley car
and settled down with little furry.
The youngest was only four and very
full of song and dance. The other sat
down. rested her head on the window
back of her and took in all the beau
tiful advertisements above the opposite
windows. Daddy Immediately started
describing new tool that he would
like to have for his tool chest.
otis a beauty" he said, as Mother
listened attentively. 1T works this
way" and he showed her with his
hands.
"Oh. yes." Mother answered under
standingly. as she put out restraining
hand 10 keep Alice from climbing off
the seat.
"It costs a good DEAL" Daddy went
on, "And told the man ] didn't know
whether I could afford it now"
"what does that say, Mother?' Jane
inquired dreamily. And SO Mother
looked up and read the verse OH the ad-
vertisemeut for chewing gum. Jane
smiled politely. obviously gave up trying
to understand what it meant and turned
to the next picture.
GLOW much was it?" Mother asked,
turning back to Daddy. No, she hadn I
forgotten. Daddy hesitated-hesitated
too long. For the car had stopped.
and the motorman, getting off in great
excitement, discovered that motorman
on the car ahead had been taken sick.
This reused great interest among the
family. Daddy stood up to see what
was going on, and Mother had both
hands full keeping Alice on the seat. II
Daddy could stand up, why shouldn't
she? Jane had forgotten the advertise
ments and in looking out the window
had become absorbed in the pictures
made by the streaks on the glass The
excitement calmed down and the cal
started.

told her, moving her handbag out oi
