HELPING MOTHER
Two young girls met in the post office on a summer evening. Where have you kept yourself so long, Frances?' said Mildred. 'We have missed you so much that we thought- you must be ill or else that you had gone away on a visit.' - ' I have been at home helping mother,' was the reply. We have a houseful of boarders from the city. There has been a great deal, to do, and mother has needed me.' -
The two girls separated, and a friend who overheard the conversation observed that she admired the girl who had cheerfully given up amusements that she might lift a part of the burden from her tired mother. ' The daughter at; home is the daughter that I love best,' said this lady, 'and if ever the time comes that I can do a good turn for Frances, I will not neglect my opportunity.'
