Matilda, do you remember the song
Bessie Raymond taught you about the
moon? You have forgotten, and can’t sing
without your music! That is a pity, and
Seraphina has such a cold she cannot sing
‘at all. Well, we will play this is the mid-
dle of the concert, and stop a few minutes
to rest like the grown folks do.

Now, we will commence again. I will
play some more on the piano, and then
Dolly Varden can sing “ Little Drops of
Water.” Dolly, come here! Now begin!

‘Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,’’——

What makes you stop? You have forgot-
ten the rest? Then take the .book right
away and learn it. Now, Nelly—oh, dear!
we shall have to stop. Nellie is asleep,
and Minnie has gone to play with the kit-
ten. But, then, Minnie is only a rag doll,
and hasn’t any ears, so, of course, she doesn't
care for music.
