EDWARD
Up in a High
T ree.
Molly had a doll she had named
Molly, too, and she had a brother
named Edward.
Edward was a
tease, not a nice,
j o o d - natured,
funny sort of a
tease, but he was
the kind who
hurt people’s feel-
ings.
He would see
some one who
had on a suit
which was not
new or which
had been patched
and he would try
to make the oml
who was wearing
it feel very un-
comfortable.
Edward would
also see boys wearing their older
brothers’ suits and he would say with
a mean look:
“Where did you get, that suit?”
And he liked to tease Molly by
making fun of Molly-doll, and by toss-
ing her up in the air, and playing
with her as though she was a ball,
and he could bat her in a game of
his own mean making.
Molly-doll was a rag doll.
Oh, how Molly would feel when her
doll was lifted up in Edward’s hands
and then he would say, so meanh
“She’s only rag. What’s the
ence?”
One day he left Molly-doll
high tree and she couldn’t b
He didn’t tell where she w1
that afternoon, quite late, t
fell, and Molly was afraid
was left out in the snow.
She hunted and hunted a
neighbor boy, who wasn’t me
ward was, found her and br
safely to Molly.
But they didn’t tell Ed
had found her.
He thought she was still
tree.
That night when he sle
behold Molly-doll came an
the end of his bed.
No longer was Molly-do'
doll. She had grown, oh
grown. And she
was wearing in-
stead of a paint-
ed wig, great
icicles and cold.
And her body
seemed very stiff
and straight. It
seemed so very
strong as though
she were made
of steel or of
iron instead of
rags.
“Edward,” she
said, and her
voice sounded
harsh and ter-
rible, “Edward,”
she continued,
“you left me out in the tree|
you didn’t care if it hurt
or me.
“I’ve come to show you.’!
Edward couldn’t think
meant, but he was frigl]
everyone who is a bully ca
be frightened when anyt
against them.
She took Edward in her ar
had grown so big and hard,
tossed him up in the air aj|
and about, so that he was
he might land on the ground.
Instead he was in his bed when he
awoke. But oh, what a horrible
dream it bad been. And when h dis-
covered Molly had her Molly-doll and
that somehow she had been rescued
he was really thankful and pleased.
A Jolly Game
One player starts a story, and after
relating an incident, leaves off abrupt-
ly for his neighbor to continue the
narrative. He tries to connect the
story by means of inciden' from bis
own imagination, and then he, too,
“passes it on,” and so on round the
party. As can be imagined, the course
of the story will undergo many
changes.
Another similar idea is the game of
suggestions. The first player starts
by saying a certain thing has been
suggested to him, say a garden, and
he asks his neighbor what a garden
suggests to him. Probably he will
say flowers. The third player is
asked what flowers suggest, and so
on, until you get a string of sugges-
tions all relating to the first one.

Juvenile Deduction
The teacher had given a lesson on
the Wars of the Roses.
“What do you know of Margaret of
Anjou?” he asked.
“She was very fat,” said Billy.
“How is that?” inquired the
teacher.
“Because,” he replied, “I read that
she was one of Richard's stoutest op-
ponents.”
For Lack of It
One day in school the teacher said:
“Mickey, give me a definition of salt.”
“Share,” Mickey responded ; “it’s the
stuff that makes potatoes taste had
when you boil ’em and don’t put any
In.”
