Excerpt: ... sprang up and began a frolicking song and dance intended to divert the baby\'s attention. But for a few moments only Gladys was pleased Pg 154 with this entertainment. With the persistency of her kind, she returned again and again to the subject of her greatly desired water trip. Still being denied, she set up a first class crying act. It scarcely seemed possible that so many tears could come from those two blue eyes! She didn\'t scream or howl, but she cried desperately, continuously, and with heartbroken sobs until the two caretakers were filled with consternation. No effort to divert her was successful. In no game or play would she show any interest, and as the little face grew red from the continued sobbing, Dotty exclaimed, "That child will have a fit, if she doesn\'t get what she wants! Now look here, Doll; we won\'t go in a boat, but let\'s put the baby in the canoe and just pull her back and forth gently by the rope. It\'s tied fast to the post." Dolly looked doubtful, but as the baby sensed Dotty\'s words a heavenly smile broke over her face and she exclaimed, "Ess, ess! Daddy go saily-bye all aloney!" Dolly still hesitated, but Dotty picked up the eager child and plumped her down in the middle of the canoe, which was partly drawn up on the shelving beach. A little push set it afloat and grasping the rope firmly, Dotty gently pushed and pulled the Pg 155 canoe back and forth, while the baby squealed with delight. "That can\'t do any harm," said Dotty, pleased with the success of her scheme, and Dolly agreed that Gladys was safe enough as long as she sat still. "Even if she should spill out, she\'d only get wet," said Dotty; "the water isn\'t six inches deep where she is. And you will sit still, won\'t you, baby?" "Ess, Daddy sit still," and the baby folded her hands and sat motionless in the canoe, only swaying slightly with the motion as Dotty slowly pulled her in shore and then let her drift back again. "It\'s like a new-fashioned cradle," said...

A THANKSGIVING GUEST“What a gorgeous day for a sleigh-ride! Did you ever see such sunny, twinkling snow, and such crisp, crackly air? It fairly snaps off as you breathe it!”Betty McGuire stood on the steps of the veranda as she spoke. Her mother, in the doorway, was smiling down at her, and her pony, Dixie, was jingling his bells and pawing at the snow and ice in the driveway below.It was the first trial of the pretty new cutter, and the joyous excitement of the occasion made Betty’s cheeks as red as her scarlet tam-o’-shanter cap, or her red cloth coat with its high fur collar. Betty drew on her driving-gloves, still talking to her mother.“Isn’t it a darling sleigh, Mother? Did you ever see such a pretty one? And Dixie is so proud of it.”“It’s a beauty, Betty. I know you’ll enjoy it. Are you taking Tilly for a ride?”“No; I’m going for May Fordham to-day. We’re planning for the party, you know. I’ll take Tilly some other day.”“Very well; be home by sundown, won’t you?”“Yes; or very soon after. All right, Pete.”The face of the big Irishman beamed with pleasure as he assisted Betty into the new sleigh and tucked the fur robe round her.“’Tis a foine turnout, Miss Betty,” he said; “an’ mosht becomin’ to Dixie,—the proud little baste!”“He is proud of it,” agreed Betty, as she gathered up the lines. “He’s just vain enough to love those silver bells jingling about him. Good-by, Mother.”“Good-by, darling,” said Mrs. McGuire, and after watching Betty disappear down the winding drive, she returned to the house.CONTENTSA Thanksgiving GuestA Christmas CelebrationBetty at Boarding-schoolAn Acceptable ValentineThe Palace of TimeBetty’s Practical JokeThe Green Paper DollThe Chaplet of HonorAn Independence Day ReceptionBetty CrusoeA Labor Day LuncheonA Lucky Penny
