A PRACTICAL VIEW,
Walter and his sister arrived early one morning in. Albany, where, with their mother, they were to spend the day with an old friend of hers, who has a home more elegant than the children had ever seen. After quite an elaborate breakfast the children were overheared in conversation by their mother. " Wasn't it lovely ! " Florence was confiding to her brother — " so many things kept coming, and there was so much glass all different colours, and - such beautiful plates and flowers, and such lots of fruit — " "Pooh!" interrupted Walter, who in reality had been quite overpowered by the breakfast, but who never lost an opportunity to assume a patronising tone toward his sister, "Why, the poor things didn't know euough to have griddle caky ! "
