But there was no help for it. She had been chris- tened Emma, and Errima she must be to the end of the chapter. One day when her Grandma Embody was there, the little girl was surprised to aeer her rather young and gOed-looking grand- parent exclaim, "'Well, well, just to think that I have a little grandgirl with such a fine name as Emma! Do you know what that rneans, Honey?" Emma began to frown at once. "No," she shook her head, "no one ever told me." "Then I have a surprise tor goo," beamed her grandmother. "The name Emma means 'a nurse, and a real nurse to be euccessful, must •be very gentle and kind and pa- tient, and willing to do whatever she can to make other people corn- fortable, and to help,them get well they are ill.

It's a great thing to be First Aid to the doctors, and that's what a nurse always is. I know you are going to help Billy Boy get strong and well. See bow wistful and sad the little chaP looks! I believe if you try reale hard, you can teach. him how to smile again, and when he goes home, he will be able to run and laugh and play like other chil- dren." Emma didn't know just what she was ging to do, or how she was going to do it, but here was a Big Thing which any girl ought to be glad to help with. Arid• so Emma put on her Thinking Cap.

A TALE FROM INDIA 0 NCE upon a time there was a rib merchant who was the possessor of a large quantity of valuable iron which he prized very highly. One day this rnan had to make a visit to a neigh- boring country and did not want to leave his fortune unprotected, so he went to his friend and neighbor and asked if he would guard the iron untii the merchant's return. , , • "Surely," said the friend, "have it brought here and I will give it the best of care." The merchant had the iron carted to his friend's home and then. proceeded on hie journey with an easy mind. Now the more the friend looked at the iron and realized the vast • sum of money that it represented, the more he Wanted it for himself, and when the merchant returned froni his trip the iron was gone. "But how is that?" questioned the merchant. "Well, you see," explained the friend, "I had it placed there in that corner and one night the mice came and ate it all up." "Ole," said the raerchant, "I see. I have always regarded you as an • honest man and I am glad my faith must riot be shattered. • To show my good feeling I want you to come with me to my home and share a little wine in my company."

"Impossible in some countries, no doubt," answered the merchant, "but not impossible in a country where mice eat iron." Then the friend kneW that he had. been found out it his guilt, and he fell , on his kneee before the merchant and begged him to return his son.

A GAbila A good, ulet game is Tea Pot: One player goes out of the room while the others think of% some word which has to or more dif- ferent meanings. Suppose theeword "train" is selected. • When the player who has been out .comes into the room he must question the players and each must answer him using the ward selected in the answer, but substituting the word Teapot for it. For example: Ques- tion -What did you do last night? I went for a ride on a teapot. To the next player: Don't you think short ',skirts are a convenience? They are certainly more comfort- able than the old-fashiorted dresses with long teapots. And so on Meta the word is guessed. When it is guessed, the player whose seritetee suggested it must go out while' the others choose a new we'd. rArr: tit; miA).

And sure enough, the elephant could stand lin on its four legs. To be sure, there was a little crack down the beak and along the trunk, but Emma took a little more of the chocolate frosting and covered uP the white edge so it matched the brown ginger -cookie part very. nicely, It looked so good that Emma hopped'right up and down and ran in to show the elephant to Grand- ma Embody, who said it WEIS all she could do to keep from eating it herself. But Emma, hadanother !dee, by this time, and back she went, to the kitchen. She remembered that Billy Boy simply Would not eat his orange that morning; nor the figs and prunes which his mother had tried to get him to take a taste of at least. • Emma was so excited that she could hardly work, but in. a few minutes, Betsy and she had the most remarkable "Goody -Goody Man" you ever saw. Betsy laughed until the tears came into her eyes. "Laws a inassyl"' she gasped at last. "I'se glad I don't hove to fix up a meal like that fer a whole family! But bless his little heart, if it pleases bore little Billy Boy, we'se mighty glad to do it!" The Qoody-Goody Man was made of prunes which had been soaked in warm water over night, and a little opening made in the end so the pit Would slip out. Then it was a simple matter to fill the cavity with some stiffly cooked corn meal mush. With a darning needle threaded with clean white string, the Goody -Goody Man began to take form. His head Was a hard boiled egg with the shell taken off, and eyes and nose and mouth painted on with a little pure food coloring. His body was a fine, plump orange with the rind cut away like a belt right around the middle.

And when he was able to travel, the physicians advised a change of climate, and that he go outainto the country somewhere for a. month at least, until he would gain a better ap- petite and begin to take a cheerful interest in things about him. So Aunt Ruth came with him to her sister's honae where there were plenty of trees, and grass, ,eand flowers, and lots of fresh air, and creamy milk, and even a pony which Emma had had since she was a wee little girl.
