SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
"I can almost see her. She had the
merriest of blue eyes,'and, because
there were so many children to be
cared for, her hair, which was natur-
ally curly, hung in two tight little
braids down her back. It wasn't
combed every day; it was braided so
tight that it didn't need• to be. She
wore a bright red wool skirt, with a
waist made of gray flannel; both were
handed down from an. older sister. •She.
had worn-out shoes and no bonnet.
But she was skipping happily down
the path, because she was taking her
father's luncheon to him, and there
was a little `sweetie' in the pail for
her. I carry that picture in niy mind
always, and because of it I am saving
wily money to go' to Scotland some day.

of there had really listened. Lucille
had a dine notion that her mother
came from the States; Adele admitted
to herself that she didn't know wheth-
er her mother ever had been a little
girl; Nora' tried to remember the'
name of the town in. Ireland where
her mother had lived as a child. Every
girl was busy with her own=thoughts
when the speaker continued:
"Mother loves to talk of the time
when She was a girl, and I' love to
hear .her. Several of my dolls are
called '`Hester because that was the
name of the only doll she ever had.
It was a poor little affair, but she
loved it. She had a mother who was
`very dear to her; I know just the
corner of the cemetery in which she
lies, and 1 ani going to find it as soon
