You will easily guess which of the three boys Grandmamma chose to be
her little companion. And oh! what a lovely Grandmamma she was, as not
only Leslie, but his cousins too, found out. She always seemed to know
exactly what a boy wanted, and still better, to give it to him.
Walter and Stanley often felt terribly ashamed of the selfish manner
in which they had behaved, and wished they were more like Leslie.
But Grandmamma told them that it was "never too late to mend," and
they took her advice, and I am quite sure that at the present moment
if they were to meet a poor old woman in distress by the roadside,
they would not pass her by, as they once did Grandmamma Howard.

THE DOLLS' CHRISTMAS PARTY.
It was the week before Christmas, and the dolls In the toy-shop played
together all night. The biggest one was from Paris.
One night she said, "We ought to have a party before Santa Claus
carries us away to the little girls. I can dance, and I will show you
how."
"I can dance myself if you will pull the string," said a "Jim Crow"
doll.
