A LITTLE girl, nine years old, Bertha by name, went with her moother to visit her Aunt Florence. Bertha was extremely slender, so very slender that some of the ruder of her school- mates called her “Skinny.” " While she was at her aunt's a peddier came to the door with pink celluloid bracelets for sale, and the aunt bought two—one for her own little girl and one for Bertha, The peddler asked if she wanted the brace- lets for “fat girls or thin ones,” and she replied that she desired one of the bracelets for the “skinniest little girl he could think of.” Bertha, overhearing the remark, was sorely offended, and when her aunt presented the bracelet to her she refused to accept it ., Realizing, however, that sh had done wrong tp declining to accept ) “the proffered gift, Bertha left the house and was gone some little time.
