She Put on Airs.

Marie and her papa were taking a walk. Little Nellie, who lives across the street and is, or was, Marie’s playmate, was walking with her papa at the same time. The two parties met and the papas had a t-alk. Marie’s papa noticed that the two little girls did not appear to be as “enummy” as of yore. When the walk was continued papa said: “Marie, what’s the matter with Nelly and you? Why did you not speak to her?” Marie’s little shoulders were shrugged and her little lips took on a curl of the utmost disdain as she scornfully replied: “0, she thinks she is awful smart just because their baby died.” —Chicago Tribune.
