THE CONCERT

Come here, my dears! Sit down by the
piano, and we will have some music; a real
concert, just like the grown folks do. I
will begin and play on the piano, and then
Lady Clara will sing us that song about
“Doe lray. Now, Lady Clara, beom |
Oh! you must sing louder, my dear, if you
want all the people to hear you. One, two,
three, sing! ,

“Old Dog Tray, ever faithful, °
Grief cannot drive him away,
For he’s gentle and he’s kind,

You'll never, never find,
A better friend than old Dog Tray.”

That was very nicely done, and I hope you
will always remember and be kind to your |
own dog, Jack, for he is just like Dog
Tray, “ever faithful.” “Faithful,” you know,
my dears, means good and kind, just as
dogs (and little girls) should always be.
