Visiting Minister Asking Blessing at

by Little Isabel.

To eight-year-old Isabel ever since
she has been able to lisp has fallen
the honor in her family Of saying the
blessing at meals. Consequently she
was indignant the other night when at
supper her father transferred this
privilege to a clergyman who was q
dinner guest.
Isabel had already clasped her hands
and was bowling her head preparatory
to starting the prayer when her father
took the fatal step:
"Mr. Finderkin," he said, "will you
say the blessingY
Isabel shot baleful look at the
guest, but warning expression of her
mothers face silenced the protest.
Apparently submitting, Isabel bowed
her head and her lips moved swiftly as
Mr.. Finderkin murmured the blessing.
The prayer completed. Isabel lifted
her head beaming triumphantly.
II said the blessing six times while
you were saying 1t once" she told Mr..
Ganderkin-New York Evening Sun.
