Iune 1928 GWYN NONIA 47 My, my, wailed Sister Watson, I baked dem pies for dissert. De preacher en his wife is cumin to supper tonite, en yuh all et up dem nice black- berry pies. Dem's de pastor's favorite pies dat he likes. Why in de world did yuh all do sich a thing? Yer aller act so perlite en nice whin I take yuh out, said Liza. Alexander spoke up and said. Dis de fust time yuh took us out fer about a year or more, maw, en Sister Watson toll us to go in de kitchen en help ourselfs. Yes, said Sister Watson, her voice rising with every word, I toll yuh to help yerself to sum water: I diden know yuh was gonna clean up de kitchen. We did'en dirty de kitchen much, said Alex- ander, jes' sum blackberry juice spilled on de floor, en Matilda is gwine clean up fore we go. Neber mind bout cleanin' up, said Sister Wat- son. I tink yuse dun enufl' in de kitchen fer one day. Well, chillun, I tink we jes' as well go home. I cum here tinkin' I'd have a peaceful time, but yuh all misunderstood Sister Watson. en now it'l1 be all ober de country dat my chillun ain't perlite. I is sorry Sister Watson is refusin' Matilda's kind offer to clean de little mess what yuh all made in de kitchen, Liza said in a voice that sounded as though she was ready to cry. Now yuh tank Sister Wat- son fer de pies en de water, an 'en let us go. Tank yuh, Sister Watson, they all three spoke at one time. - ' Yer Welcome to 'em now, being's yuh et em up, she replied. . Liza and the children started home. She walked with Nathaniel, and Matilda and Alexander were behind. None spoke, but their minds were full. The children thought of the punishment they would get, and Liza was thinking she would have to stay home .from church. She wouldn't walnt to meet Sister Watson or hear her tell about what her children had done. Although they walked fast, it seemed a long time to the children until they reached home. Liza told them to help her with her work and she would give them their punishment after sup- per. They all obeyed, thinking that would lighten the punishment. About eight o'clock there was a rap on the door, and when Matilda opened it, and saw Sister Wat- son standing there, she was so scared she couldn't move. I thought yuh all would be in bed by dis time, said Sister Watson, and she walked into the house. When Liza saw her, her eyes became twice as large as usual. I thought the pastor was cumin' to yer house tonite, she said. Yes, spoke Sister Watson, but he sent word he couldn't cum tonite: he will come up tomorrer, fer sure. Jis send de chillun to bed: I wanna talk to yuh. The children were very glad when they were told to go to bed, and did not need a second bidding. Then Sister Watson spoke. Liza, I cum to I tel yuh, I is sorry I got mad bout de chillun eatin' ma pies: 'corse it warn't rite, but chillun is chillun. en I cum to tell yer I won't say nothin' bout it ter nobody, en don yuh say nuthin' neither. Jes' let's fergit it. Is yuh cumin' to church Sunday? 'AI dunno, said Liza. If I don't be dare Sun- day, I'll try to cum to de revivals. i I'll look fer yuh. I has to be goin' now. It's most nine o'clock. Good-nite. Liza. Good-nite, Sister Watson. Sister Watson started home with a light heart. Liza was glad that she wouldn't have to stay from the revivals. EDITH H. SILBERG, 9AI. IF If Mrs. Hill could get pupils to give music the thought and effort that she wants them to give, we should have so many stars that they would crowd out the moon. ' If our knowledge of French could satisfy Mrs. Curtis's desires, the Parisians could take lessons from us. If Miss Peters could get her gymnasium pupils to do acrobatic stunts the way she wants them done, the Barnum and Bailey circus would have to become side shows. If the marks of the students of our school were high enough to satisfy Doctor Berryman, the world would be so crowded with wise men that if Solo- mon himself came back on earth, he would appear to be a pygmy in knowledge.
