HUTCHINS7 LAURA Laura might have gotten a prize if it had not been that she failed to arrive until after all the prizes were awarded. However, this fact did not disturb the accustomed placidity of her infant spirits. JONES, CHARLOTTE Though a mere infant Charlotte has contributed Compositions and poems to many of the childrens, pages of the various papers. Her poems are always models of correctness. Here is one of her little letters to a Childrenk Cozy Corner: ll I am seven. I like to go to school and d0 Arithmetic. I have gotten as far as Long Division. Your little friend, Charlotte Jones. KELLOGG, CLARA Yes. she seems to care for playthings Less than books, And shels staid, demure, and quiet In her looks; But just wait ,till therels a frolic, Or a scheme. That the children plan fortplaying, Then, I deem, You will join with me in saying That tt things are not what they seem. 33

HOPKINS , FRANCES Sad to say Frances will receive no prize nor even honorable mention we fear. She was extremely naughty and would persist in taking care of all the other children, including the poor little slum children Who gathered around to witness the start. One complaint she gave voice to, and that was, that there were no little boys in the parade to love and tease. HUKILL, MARGARET Margaret has great skill in climbing, and persists in scaling everything that looks particularly difficult. With a great deal of coaxing she came down from a tree top whither she had ascended just before the parade started. This desire to be at the top is characteristic of her in every way, and the leftiness of her ambition is unusual in one so young. HYDE, JANE They had an awful time to get a good picture of Jane. The child posi- tively refused to smile at the proper moment. As she has naturally a cheerful disposition we really cannot account for this, unless, perhaps, she had accidentally swallowed some of the bitter pills With Which She sometimes favors her playmates when they are ailing. Or perhaps she missed the bouquet Which she usually wears on her little frock-she had lost it just before her picture was taken. 32

LAWRENCE, LOUISE Louise refused most positively to enter the ranks of baby campetitors, and no amount of coaxing could prevail upon her to change her mind. She was offered bribe after bribe, but all with no other effect than a more emphatic repetition of her decided H No! NOW The only reason she would give for this continued refusal was: it I do not want to, so I wonlt. The child evidently knows what she wants, and we think will develop into a vigorous Character. LEUTZ, SARA Sara has always been a fine, hea1thy child, and was much admired at the show. Her only ailment since she dawned upon this world of sorrow has been spells of blushing. The doctor can do nothing for her at these times, but says she will outgrow the tendency. MAGEE, LOTTIE There were some babes all in a row, Oh, Lottie Magee, Magaw! And they were happy as we all knowy Oh, Lottie Magee. Magaw! They sang and danced and laughed and ran ; They sang and danced and laughed and ran; And they all clapped their hands and cried. Lottie Magee. Magaw! But all they did could not avail, Oh, Lottie Magee, Magaw! They saw quite soon they could but fail, Oh, Lottie Magee, Magaw! You still refused to join their play, In spite of all theyld do or say, So they all clapped their hands and cried, Lottie Magee, Magaw! 34
