What They Made.
Marjorie is the small and onlydaughter in a family which boasts of several sons. Aged four is Marjorie, petite and imperious, ami enjoying excellent opportunities for becoming spoiled. She has lately attained to the dignity of the kindergarten, and comes home daily with some fresh acquisition of wisdom. A few days ago it was addition, and she proclaimed proudly at the dinner-table—-“l know how much two and two make, and three and two, and four and two.” — “And what,” said her father, “do you and I make, Marjie?” Without a moment’s hesitation over these new factors in her problem, the little maid answered, with a dimple and a smile — “Sweethearts.” And all the family were satisfied with Marjorie’s arithmetic.
