Cousin Ella had just handed her a yellow bowl, asking her to fill it with cur- rants. Molly almost pouted. This was the strangest birthday she had ever had. First of all no kind mamma had awakened her with a tender kiss of greeting for the doctor had. ordered mamma away for a rest, two months ago. Indeed nothing was as nice at Lilac Farm since then. Jolly papa had not waited breakfast for Molly Canada's Great Wheat and Barley Food -- this morning. Usually he greeted her teasingly in this fashion: "Well, Mouisi, how old are we today?" Then he would pinch her cheek and drop something into 'her apron pocket. Just think of it. No party, no letters, no gifts, none of the nice things that had always made her birthday full to overfiowing with the thrills of gladness, Molly was really sweet-tempered and always ready to help, So.she be- gan to gather the pretty fruit, but what do you suppose she saw tucked in among the green leaves? A piece of white paper twisted into a cocked- hat! Opening it shé read in Jack's dashing penmanship: "If you want some jolly fun To the front door swiftly run." Molly forgot the currants, and on flying feet obeyed Jack's rhyme. Tied to the old brass knocker by a long red string, was a tiny box. It held a pretty ring with-a blue stone which twinkled up at her from a bed of pink cofton. She gave a little ery of joy. Under the ring lay a note from Brother Tom: 'Now Mollykins, away, away! In the apple tree is my gift today." Sure enough, a long, thin 'parcel was found in the holé where Sir Squirrel lived. Molly found in this box a fan. Molly hugged it and danc- ed up and down with joy. But that was not all. On the cover was glued a funny picture of a messenger hoy and papa had printed beneath it: "To horse, to horse, my pretty maid, "Go seek a treasure in Lilac glade." To the hedge of lilac bushes Molly sped, and saw on the lawn a table set with pretty china near Molly's plate, which bore a name gard in the shape of a cunning little pussy cat, were two mysterious bundles, One proved to'be a beautiful doll dressed in pink and bearing the mes- sage, "With 'Mamma's tenderest care," The other was from papa. A pair of shining roller skates. He had written on the wtapper: For Molly to skate with aronnd : the town. But take care, little girl, don't fall down." "Well, well, Molly, where are my currants?" asked a brisk voice. There stood Cousin Ella, smiling roguishly and bearing on a silvery tray a wonderful birthday cake. Up the driveway came the sound of laughter. Molly's little playmates were flocking to the party. busy was she welcoming them that her biggest surprise came around the lilac hedge and she never knew it until she heard a sweet voice say. "Come, Molly lets begin, the party." It Was Mamma and. papa. 'That night she went to bed a happy girl. She said. "After all it was the best party she had ever had before."--e Isabell O--, Victoria school. ne -------- "Take in all Kinds of Things."
