She Was "Founded.”

Netta was a little girl who lived In a foundling asylum, a place where homeless children without relatives are cared for. A visitor who often came to the foundling had taken a great fancy to Netta. It was the birthday of Muriel, the lady’s little girl, and permission was asked for Netta to take tea with Muriel. As It was Muriel’s birthday Netta wished to be very nice to her. At the same time Netta felt she had an advantage aver Muriel, for it was not every one who lived in a foundling hospital. “You were born. Muriel?” she asked. Muriel nodded and smiled. Up went Netta’s head a little higher. "It is so common to be born.” she said. “I was founded!”—Exchange.
