" But this was ‘owing to the fact that she was an only child, and had many “servants to attend to her numer- ous wants. | But suddenly a change took place that completély changed her life. Her mothér and father wére going to tour Europe and leave : Margaret at her aunt’s” home ‘I an old fashioned New England village. = 7 s Margaret’s aunt did everything that she thought was her ‘duty. 80 she faced & very dificult task, just now, in trying to make Margaret see her dutles in every day life. Margaret wanted her own way even when she played with her playmates, in her playroom, 3 | Her “aunt, after some time, “taught] Margaret to play.fair, and-that: her lit- tle playmates were her equals. But Margaret would rot alr her bed and room in the morning, as she had " been in the habit of having maids do i:l for ‘her. Her aunt bhad given her many pun-! ishments, bat still she neglected to dc r few tasss, such as pick up and put away her pretty dresses. But one day her aunt happened to be oing by Margaret's bedrodm, 0 shei erped in. On one chair lay a prétty ress in a beap and many dainty ar- ticles ‘thrown ¢aréiessly on different pieces of furniture. Her aunt, completely discouraged, de- cided to put an end to this carelessness, 50 she ordered a barrel to be brought to her. She then proceeded to put all the dainty gowns into the barrél, and went downstalrs to await Margaret's return from school. Margaret came running breathlessly in, "and with a hasty greeting to her aunt, ran upstairs. L She ‘came down sobbing, and she said to her aunt, “Now, I can't go to_ the party ‘for my new dress is al] wrink- Ted.” Her aunt told her it was her own fault for she bad told her many times) i . to _hang up ber dresses.
