JOY FOlt STORMY DAYS.
It was just an circlinery r'ITM home
and one could see at a glance time the
task of making both, ends meat woe",
far from an easy one. ' Mks, Dialteslee
did ell her owe work helped in the;
, 1,
garden and coaxed dozens et caices
into plunip broilers. And to Cousin'
Belle, visiting there for the first thnes1
it seemed as "though the three little;
folks, Maisie and Mildred and baby'
Jim, must surely be allowed to raril
loose and that they would doubtless,;
after the first few bours of "company;
manners," prove annoying beyond the
a-verage.
It was quite to her amazementethen
_
that on the morning after. her arrival,"
with the wind blowiag the snow hito
drifts out of doors, she was greeted;
by three sunny little faces.
"Isn't it a lovely morning?" Maisie
asked seriously.
"Why do you thhale it lovely?" Cou-
sin Belle asked in surprise.
"Oh, there are so many nice things
to do on a day like this," Mildred put
in. "That's why we're hurrying so to;
get our dusting done. Mother's going!
to let us choose what we want from
otu. surprise cupboard."
"I'll have to explain to cousin Belle,"
laughed Mrs. Blakeslee as she steranecl
would any other. A happily employed
chila is usually a g•ood, child. It takes
less time to get this busy-work ready
and show them how to use it than it
does to be continually scolding and
punishing, and is fat better both. for
them. and ear me.
•"See what I'm doing eousin, Belle"
called. Maisie frOM •near the window.
"Why! 1 thoug•ht that was another
euphoa.rd," exclaimed cousin Belle:
"it looks likoone uRtil Y P .e

it s cloll-house. Father inadS it for
us oub of boxes and Mother helped us
paper the rooms. We had same paste-
board furnite.re given us and we used
that for patterns to make inore. Some-
times we play with paper dolls in it
and sometimes with our littlest china
dolls."
"I must go out and attend to the
chickens now)," ;Mrs. Blakeslee an-
noim'eed.
"I'll eat ite some letters while you
are gone." Cousin Belle settled herself
to write in peace and quietness so ab-
sorbed were they all in their occupa-
tions from the Surprise Cupboard.

, A country school, where the brevity
or the noon hour and lack or time to
make eatlier preparations made it im-
practical to setve a hot lunch, has
.worked out a very satisfactory solu-
tion of the problem, Each child brings
o potato in his or her lench box. At
recess the poLatoee are tucked into
the ashes in the front Of the heating
stove. By dinnertime they ate well
done and form a 8atisfying supple -
meet to the contents of the lunch
boxes ;and paila.—Dorothy Porter,
