The maiden aunt had come to call. It was very early for callers, but Mrs. ' Marsh knew that the malden aunt needed help, so she left the baking and went to her cheerfully. The aunt looked quite worn out, and very near- ly distracted. But what can you ex- pect when a person without previous experience steps in and tries to take care of four healthy children for six weeks? The aunt had been lhe"e only two weeks, but such wecks “What is the reason,” said the aunt almost tearfully, “that vours are so good, and mine are so bad? Why, do son know, the twi were actually fighting this morning, and Edith is so horrid and sclfish. She won't let 1d- na touch a thing, and Edna cries when nothing at all is the matter.” “Can’t you give them something to do?" asked Mrs. Marsh “But what?" said the maiden aunt, “Oh! anything. If t! oy suggest any- thing, let them do it if you possibly can. If not, you suggest something. If your invention runs out, you might look out of the window, and see what mine are doing.” She beckoned the aunt to a window. A hum of busy voices arose from the lawn below. “Why, they're washing." “Yes, it's the doll clothes, and the boys, not to be behindhand, are wash- ing their baseball suits.” “But they will get their clothes sofl- ed.” “Yes, they're bound to do that in any case, They have on their rom- pers and gingham aprons, so it won't matter. After the washing is dry, there will be the ironing, so you see they will be busy all day.” “I'm going right home, and ask mine if they: want to wash things.” “They will want to. And then to- morrow if you can't think of anything, you might telephone over, and find out what we are doing.” The aunt departed with hope in her bearing. Her young charges agreed to the wash-day program with the en- thusiasm of children who have been repressed for two weeks. She took oft the pretty clothes in which she had been keeping them, and searched out the despised rompers. Then the children, with arms full of doll clothes, went out to the back lawn and wash- ed themselves into a state of quiet good nature, The dinner hour was absolutely peaceful. The aunt took them upstairs afterward and told them stories. Then it was time for the bath and bed The next ddy went over the day?” “They're working in their gardens,” wits the answer, “Children, have you any gardens?” said the aunt. They had had some, but investiga tion showed that they had disappeared under the onslaught of the weeds. The aunt, who was really a clever person, (lmh(\d the reclaiming work in the guise of a battle against insidious dra- gons that wanted t- eat up the lovely flower maidens. With their little tools and watering pots the children worked with a will. When a plot was nicely cleaned the aunt transplanted some blooming petunius from the mother's garden. The petunias stood the trans- planting nicely. They were too thick in the garden anvway, and besides the children now had immediate results to show for their work The next day's inquiry showed that Mrs. Marsh's children were pla milkman with a tab of water an the measuring cups in the “You'll find that children will play anything that allows them to splash in the water,” said Mrs Marsh For this you'd better put on thelr hathing suits.” “This can be a lesson fes, too,” said the aunt as them gill, pint, quart, and gall ures. On the succeeding days trips to the w , playin a4 cautions inquiry telephone, “What to- all house, in math l Indian camp in the l days when they reu card albums, water color p he.arlbmlun to have you do nothing but talk of the times you had together thought you could manage ci well.
