Teach Child Unselfishness
BY Lucy Lowell

There Is = big sweep o. lawn,
like golden.green plush under the
fine old trees. And every after
noon three lovely little girls come
and play there.
At least two OF them are lovely.
There is an Eliza beth. who is 7,
with a face like a cameo and a
gentle voice and graceful, pretty
manners.
And Cline, probably a year or
so younger, a darling little crea-
ture, though somewhat willful.
And Ruthie.
Ruthie is and the boss Of all
she surveys
Let one Of the others pick a
flower or capture a bit of blown
down branch or try to play with
toy and Ruthie steps right in
and asserts her authority. 1t isn't
only that she wants whatever the
others happen to have, but also she
does not want them to have any
thing. She is consistent about it,
too. She spends about half her

But what a tragedy for Ruthie!
Because of a mere accident of age

youngest in the little group-she
is taught to assume the role of a

be the very first to save her
from the tribulations being laid up
