Gathered Smiles

CIRCUMSTANCES. v ’• She was only a small girl, but even little people can be naughty sometimes, and this was one of the occasions when Mabel had kicked over the traces. Naturally, mamma was terribly angry, and Mabel was dispatched to the regions aloft where, in het 1 mother’s bedroom, she was bidden to sit upon a certain chair, pending tions from headquarters. - The particular instructions were long delayed, from Mabel’s point of view, and after half an hour she ventured to query in childish treble: “Mamma, may I come down now? I promise I’ll be good.” Headquarters was still huffy and wafted up the stairs the reply: “No, you sit just where you are till I call you.” "All right,” came in sing-song tone the bedroom, “all right, mamma, only I’m sitting on your best hat!”—■ Gulf States Presbyterian.
