THE SYLLABUS she thought perhaps she really was dead, but when tl1e butler eanie with the usual evening dinner, she found she was still alive. Down in her heart she was rather glad, too, for John had brought, her sueh a good din11er that she seemed to have forgotten about mother, guest, Chinese vase and all. About seven-thirty the mother stopped at l3etty's room to see if her small daughter was penitent. She hesitated a moment behind the velvet curtain, for she knew Betty was falling asleep. She was saying in a drowsy monotonous and half-asleep tone, HA11 a maid like mama's. l wa-ant. to look like our cook, she has such nice red hair, an I want to have a Candy store, an- Hfere the now almost inaudible talking ceased and the young mother went. away smiling, knowing that tomorrow Betty would have forgotten all that she had wished for today.

ELLIZ.-1 li'ETH'S.lilIBITIONS AS TOLD TO HER JIOTHEIVS FRIEND. 4'Oo-oo, when I get grow'd up I'm goin' to be a great big ,complished lady, Pm goin, to be a waitin' lady in a great big restaurant, an 1,111 goin' to be a actress, an a dancin' lady, an-.M llere Petty stopped breathless and looked up into the face of her mother's friends, whom she was entertaining until her mother should appear. She quickly changed her position from the big, soft, roomy chair in which she had been curled, to one on the Hoor, and proceeded to execute a faney danee that she had seen at the theater. l3etty's legs were long and slender, but nevertheless she was Very graceful. In this dance she had not learned to move her body aeeordign to the action of her feet, and in the most ridiculous part of the entertainnietn, or at least the most ridiculous to her lllOil101'lS guest, Betty swerved graeelessly into one of her motherls pedestals that supported an imported vase. Alas, and alack, for poor Elizabeth. .lust then who should appear upo11 the scene but her one and only mother. Of course when Betty struck the pedestal it caused the vase to fall and break into ten thousand bits. Ah! the poor guest, her powers of restraint were at the limit. She was ehoeking, she was growing red in the face, she was swaying, but ah, she was only laughing, laughing in such a manner as to shake the whzole room, for she was no small person. And Betty?

So Betty proceeded to carry out. her plans, but they didn't Work, and instead she came down on the Hoor with at hard thump. It really didn't hurt her very much, but it frightened her badly.
