A VERY POLITE LITTLE GIRL. Gertie was a very little girl and very polite. It was the first time she had been on a visit alone, and she had been carefully instructed how to behave. “If they ask you to dine with them,” she was told, “you must say, No thank you; I have already dined!” As her parent had anticipated, the hostess said to her: “Come Gertie, you must take a bit with us.” “No, thank you,” was the answer, “I have already bitten.” —Cousin Annie Playfair, (14) Gummie’s Bush. A THOUGHTLESS LITTLE BOY. The class was breaking up for the Summer holidays. “Now, children,” said the teacher, “I hope you will all have a jolly time, and return to school with more sense than you have now.” “Same to you, teacher!” said a thoughtless little boy. —Cousin James Amos, (11), Mabel Bush.
