Moving Day.
Mrs. Brown sighed heavily as
she took a picture from the wall.
"It's just work, work, from morn
ing to night, when you are moving.
But then, the other house is so
much nicer, so I guess it’s worth
it," and she started working again.
Every room >n the house was
torn up for packing. Emma Brown
was in the dining room packing
dishes, while Ixirraine was packing
books in the library. Mr. Brown
and his son. Morgan, were in the
kitchen taking down the stove. Mr.
Brown was standing on a chair an l
taking down the stovepipe.
"Morgan! Morgan!" he cried.
“Come and take this pipe, quick.
Look out! Look out, Morgan! Oh!"
And he laughed and laughed, and
the family, who had run from all
parts of the house to see what the
matter was, joined in laughing. All
but Morgan, for as he reached up
in rosnonse to his father's cry, the
stovepipe dropped from Mr. Brown's
hands and fell right on Morgan,
w hile a shower of soot flew in every
direction. "Tou had better go wash
yourself, gasped his mother "When
she could get her breath.
He went at once to the sink, but
the sight of himself In the mirror
was too much for him and he
laughed until the tears rolled down
his cheeks. He was a sorry spec
tacle. covered with soot from head
to foot. His eyes shone from his
black face like live coals.
It was some time before the fam
ily couid get settled enough to go
back to work. Mrs. Brown said
"There's more fun in moving than
I thought." And the family agreed
with her. especially a little later,
when site dropped a picture on Mr.
Brown's foot.—Alma Pink, 1.139

Hetty's Water Experience.
Dear Happy: Betty liad her bath
ing suit on most of the time, when
she was at Bong Beach. She was
a little mermaid, alw-ays sunburned.
One day as Betty was sitting in
the warm sand she heard a splash.
Wondering whnt it was, she looked
around and what do you suppose
she saw? A real mermaid.
Oh, she was sp beautiful.
Betty had read about mermaids
and mermen. This one* Was just
a little girl with a tail. Betty was
so astonished that she could not
speak. So it was up to the little
mermaid. »
"My dear, I am a water princess
and this is my birthday. I am 10
years old. So my father, the water
king, said I could come to the sur
face and see what land people were
like. So here I am," she said.
"Won't you come up in the sand
and play with me," asked Betty.
To this the princess said. "<*b,
no, but you can come in the water
with me, can’t you?"
“Oh, yes." answered Betty. 1
can." As she splashed in she found
she had a tail, too, so she swam.
“Oh. this is fun.’’laughed Betty
as she splashed arowfcd.
“Wouldn't you like to go to my
land under the water for a while7"
asked the mermaid, "oh, yes, let s
da co," answered Dotty.
It was a beautiful place, the pal
are, and its gardens Dittle and
big mermaids Just like Betty and
her friend were there. They all
bowed to each other in the most
polite way.
After Dotty stayed for nn hour
she asked her friend* If she might
go home, for her mother would le
worried nbout her.
All of a sudden she awoke and
found herself on the sand As Deity
was going home she said. Th it
was a water experience "—I m - Wil
