V.. telling her so, she told him that if be ouco called her that, he would wish he hadn't. Now, Tommy always called her by her full name.

"Now, if Thomas were like little George Abraham Meredith," but here Tommy broke in, saying, "How are you feeling today, Aunt Mary Louise?" asked Tommy, just remembering the 'Louiso' in time. Aunt Mary Louise took a snuffbox out of her bag before answering, "Well, Thomas, I don't feel very well today. I fear I am getting appendicitis. I havo felt bad lately. Headaches, sore throat, rheumatism " but Tommy heard no more. It always made him sick when Aunt Mary Louise came. Now, when Aunt Josephine, or Aunt Jolly, as they called her, came, then it was fun.

"Our father can make anything!" exclaimed Dorothy and Agnes Frazer Uie other morning as they proudly exhibited their playthings, many of which their father had made for them. And after we had seen the pretty doll furniture they had, we thought that they wero right, that their father could make about anything. Agnes and Dorothy have a white bureau with a little swinging mirror in it and little doors, like a wardrobe, and it is so roomy! They have had this for four years and always keep their dolls' best dresses In it. Last Christmas their father made them a kitchen cabinet and a hand Personals Misses Rosemary and Catherine Sharkey and Master Jean Sharkey of Indianapolis, aro the guests of their aunta on North Sixteenth street Lelah, Grace and Ruth Hamilton of North Nineteenth stret, spent the week-end of July Fourth in Cambridge City.

The grounds about the house are carefully guarded by soldiers and all strangers are questioned.

PRETTY FURNITURE

some buffet, all stained brown, so that it loooknd exactly like the big ones (that is, the big buffet) that aro made of fumed oak. The kitchen cabinet looks just as if you might begin to roll out a pie crust on it right away. There are doors above and below, jmst like tho real ones have. The buffet Is long and splendid, with two little mirrors on top, and two swinging doors which hide tho little toy dishes or whatever they want to keep there. The legs of the buffet have beautiful curves in them. Both Agnes and Dorothy have a doll's bed for their dolls, with a little quilt to keep tho dollies warm. Ernest, their little brother, has a train of cars which his father made for him out of wood. A most natural looking smoke stack is on top of the engine. A bell was there once, too, but it got lost in a wreck one time. But it goes whiz?in around anyway, and the only warning it has for anyone in ua way is a call from Ernest. Mr. Frazer made a large bureau, with real drawers in it, for the children in tho Finlcy kindergarten, of wliich they aro very proud.

"Why, Pat," said the Englishman, "we run our trains bo fast in England that the tele-raph poles look like a continuous fenre?" "Do they now?" said Pat.
