Edith's Pet Lamb
| J) EAR ANNE SHIRLEY.—I am going to tell you of my pet lamb, now a ! Inonth and two weeks old. She's lovely, i but I am afraid my mother doesn't think ' no any more. And why? Because there I are some tender little leaves on her | much-beloved rose trees and my lamb | does love them. Unless we lock the gar- | den gate she can push it open, and well, |' you can guess the rest. Other delicacies |f on her garden menu arc bulbs, especially- "sailor-boys," delphiniums, iceland
poppies, and in fact, anything tender. And who can blame her? I suppose you'd like to know her name, but I hope you won't lauorh when you see it, as others may. It's Deanna! Every morniug mum gives her fowls a bran and pollard masli, and our bantams, who are not shut up with the hens, receive their share just wherever they happen to be, and Deanna, as soon as mum is out of sight, chases the banties away and eats all their food herself. Lots of love from vour penfriend, Edith Davey (16), Kakahi.
