angry  with  me. —  that  is,  with  Peggy.

                                     You  see,  I  Ve  made  so  many  blunders

                                     this  morning,  and  I  broke  a  whole  lot

                                     of'  her  dishes.       They  were  dreadfully
                                     ugly,  but  she  said  they  were  real  heir­

                                     looms,  and  I  would  have  to  do  without

                                     any  more  clothes  until  she  had  saved

                                     up  enough  money  to  buy  some  others,
                                     —  that  is,  of  course,  not  really  I,  but

                                     Peggy.       And  if  they  cost  as  much  as

                                     she  says,  Peggy  will  have  to  wear  her
                                     old  clothes  until  sh e ’s  grown  up.           But

                                     no,  I ’m  sure  papa  will  buy  Mrs.  Bagley

                                     some  more  heirlooms.”

                                        4‘  A t  the  heirloom  counter,  I  sup­

                                        “ Oh  don’t  make  fun,”  pleaded  W ili­

                                     fred,  “ but  tell  me  what  I  cart  do.”

                                        “  I  really  don’t  know/ 1  said  Bolander.
                                       But  let  me  see,-— yes,  this  will  be  the

                                     best  way.      A t  four  o’clock  Mrs-  Bagley
