and every year his mother gave
him q party. This year because
" he was going to be twelve years
old she decided to have an especial
party for him. so she sent out invita-
tions for June luncheon. The in
vitations were sent out attached to
artificial flowers and with the invita-
ton went the request that each guest
represent the flower accompanying the
written card.
When the day arrived twelve June
flowers seated themselves about the
table, which was spread out under the
trees. The place cards were tied to
tiny bouquets OF spring flowers. The
table was decorated with greens aud

This tiny painted picture in its gold

tended all over the house. The attic
had come in for its share of exam,na-

desired miniature.
This. the only picture in existence OF
the beloved grandmother, was mourned
as missing forever. and not until the
house had been torn up several times
