When the little girl returned, her mother asked if she' had done as she told her. ' Not 'xactly, mamma,' was' 1 the reply. ' Marian took the biggest piece of the apple, ; and spilled lemonade on my- new dress, so I couldn's say. what you told me ; but I bade her mother" good-night, and t said I guessed Marian had had a very pleasant time.'
