Diplomacy in Small Things.

Little Eloise Cave, aged seven years, was visiting her grandmother in Madison, Va, and was sent to cany a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor. By the exercise of infinite care she conveyed her burden safely to the house and gave it into the hands of the lady for whom it was Intended. The lady, however, was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it “You needn’t mind about that," aald the little diplomat, without an instant’s hesitation. “I don’t think grandma has a cup to match the saucer. If she has I will go right homq and break it myself.”—Popular Magazine.
