fotiffd that ne nad q rounG more with
a square peg in 1t.
There was bit of paper tied to the
peg, and on It was written:
"Get into the right place."
Harry's bump brought down q
square hole with a round peg In It.
Its paper said ...
Don't get into the wrong place"
Then Frank gave a bump that was
a regular butt. and he held up a
square hole with square peg In 1t.
These wordA were with them:
"A place for everybody, and every
body In his place"

"What does this mean?" he shouted.
"The same thing" answered Frank.
Sure" said Chauncey.
Chauncey was the littlest. He was
so little that he used to take his doll
to bed with him and talk over with
1t, before he went to sleep, the things
they had done that day. And he had
just learned that word "sure." He
was so proud of 1t that he used to
say II to his father instead of "yeth
SIR" Chauncey would soon learn that
"sure' was not as nice as "yeth SIR"
Then the girls said 1t was their
turn and they began to bump.
Ruth got an alphabet, so as to learn
not to say 'hikjlmnop."
Sarah had "a headache in her
knee" SO Mary bumped for her.
Down came a pair of rubbers and
Mary put them on inside outwards."
Just to try them.
Then they all bumped the tree for
Chauncey, who wasn't big enough to
bump hard enough to make anything
fall.
Such lot of things tumbled Off.
There was baseball gloye-Ruth
tried 1t on and her hand looked like
a hassock; a breastpin-Sarah pinned
1t on her sleeve, "where she could see
- two doll dress patterns; new
dolls hat--a small hat; set of dish
es, dolls high chair; and a tooth
pick. e
Chauncey was like the old woman
who lived in the shoe. He didn't know
what to do with all his things; hut
he was careful to use the t0Othpick
every time he took drink Of milk.
There was still one package left.
1t was in the top of the tree.
One little girl, her name was Lucy,
had not had anything. So the chill
dren let her pull the top Of the tree
down to get this package.
And there was the dearest doll that
ever came Off Of a Christmas tree.
1t had blue eyes that would omen and
shut and the cunningest frock.
Lucy, now the doll'smother. thought
that this was the very best gift Of ALL
Then, just as they were going to 60
