MOTHER'S A LENTURE,
Aunt May had helped Billy and Margaret make a pretty valentine for mother. It was the prettiest one you could imagine. In the center was a little angel that they had picked on the leaves, and all around it was tiny little hearts, which Margaret had cut out, for Billy wasn't old enough; he only smeared the paste on the leaves of them. At last the day came for the valentine to be delivered. Margaret was so excited she could hardly wait for night to come, and when Aunt May told Billy he couldn't help deliver it he had a big cry. At last it was time, and Margaret had in the garden, and in a minute she ran up the porch and rang the bell. Then, in no time at all, she ran down the steps, and while she was running so fast she fell, and then she was fumbling. Mother enjoyed catching her as much as she did the valentine.

And then the rain comes falling down below.
When the brow is
