I felt like asking him what on earth he
was going about with an umbrella open when it wasent raining. But
the Cowans do such queer things. You remember the time Jerry
Cowan sold us God's picture. Amos took me right home and I was
thankful for I don't know what would have become of me if he
hadn't come along. I couldn't sleep all night and I never want to
have any more adventures like that one.
CECILY KING.
PERSONALS
Mr. Dan King felt somewhat indisposed the day after Christmas--
probably as the result of too much mince pie. (DAN, INDIGNANTLY:--
"I wasn't. I only et one piece!")
Mr. Peter Craig thinks he saw the Family Ghost on Christmas Eve.
But the rest of us think all he saw was the white calf with the
red tail. (PETER, MUTTERING SULKILY:--"It's a queer calf that
would walk up on end and wring its hands.")
Miss Cecily King spent the night of Dec. 20th with Miss Kitty
Marr. They talked most of the night about new knitted lace
patterns and their beaus and were very sleepy in school next day.
(CECILY, SHARPLY:--"We never mentioned such things!")
Patrick Grayfur, Esq., was indisposed yesterday, but seems to be
enjoying his usual health to-day.
The King family expect their Aunt Eliza to visit them in January.
