TNL1ZABETH had gone to grandma +
~ for the night. She always loved
going there. for. rs she naively OK =
planned, "Grandma let's me stay M
later" Well. the staying up later was
over, and Elizabeth was about to ba
tucked into bed, when she felt the need
Of drink Of water.
Now grandma, be It known, was not
anxious to 60 downstairs again for
water, and, having at hand fresh
glass, from which she had Just taken
ono sip, she said: II wonder IL you
would mind taking a little drink from
xrandma's glass. dear: I have just taker
one little sip from IT."
"Well," snid Elizabeth, her head
turned thoushtfully to one side,
mother said ! mustn't dwink ont OF
other peoples glasses, cause l might
get a germ, but 'slong as your in the
family, guess it'll be all right"
