TRACING TRADITIONS.

Gladys had been naughty, so naughty, in fact, that her mother was fciccd to have recourse to the timehonoured and only really effective remedy in such cases. .This operation being- successfully but painfully completed, the little girl siink into her mother's lap disconsolately. "Mamma," she sobbed, "did gran'ma spank you when you was small?" • "Yes, dearj when I was naughty." "Oh!" A minute's pause, then; "And did her mother/ continued Gladys, "spank her?" "Yes, dear." . "And was she spanked, too, when she was naughty?"* "Yes." .Gladys gave a sigh of despair. "Then who did part the-silly custom?" she^asked.
