Aunt Este's Stories For Children
My dear little ones:
I am going to tell you a real short story to-night a little
different to the ones Aunt Este usually tells—but I think you
will love it, for it is about the birds and flowers and a dear little
girl, like the little girls who will read the story. So listen, my
dears, to the story of •
MORNING IN MARY CONTRARY'S GARDEN
"Wake, says the sunshine, 'tis time to get up,..
Wake, pretty daisy and sweet buttercup."
So sang the flowers In Mary Contrary's garden early one
bright day. Each pretty flower face was wet with it's morning
dew bath. Daisy's little white one peeped from under towsled
yellow hair, while her pure white dress stood our stiff and
starchy. Buttercup smiled above her corn-colored gown, while
the Pink and Pansy family beamed over slips of rainbow hue.
"Where is Mary Contrary?" asked Pansy. "She's late. It was
an hour ago I sent Robin up to wake her from her night's rest."
"Robin said she was sleeping tight, when he looked In
through the half-closed shutter." answered Daisy. "Said he
couldn't make her peep. Her body was hid beneath a snow
white coverlet, and her eyes were hid beneath white eyelid cur
tains edged In black eyelash fringe. The sunshine was saying,
'Wake' too, but she would not budge."
"Suppose we send Tiny Wren," suggested Buttercup.
"All right," agreed the others. "He can surely wake her."
So It happened that Tiny Wren flew up to the open window
of Mary Contrary's sleeping room, sat on the sill and called
loudly his own morning call.
"Cheep, cheep," said he. "Peep, peep," sounded the echoes in
the room.
Then with one long, lazy stretch Mary Contrary awoke. Up
shot two little arms above the white coverlet. Out peeped two
little, blue little eyes from beneath the white curtains edged in
black fringe. Up sat a tiny body with a towsled yellow head.

Sure enough In a few moments down to the garden bed came
fl iting sounds of a great plunging and diving and laughing.
For mother was with Mary Contrary and they were having a
splendid time.
Then there was quiet in the garden bed. And the flowers
bowed their heads. Up in the tree-nest homes, wee birds sat in
silence, for through the clear morning air come the sound of
Mary Contrary's prayer.
"Father guide me through the day.
When at work and when at play;
Make me gentle, kind and true,
Say what Thou woulds't have me do.—Amen.'
And then by the time the flowers could raise their heads,
and the birds could get in tune to sing, a good morning-welcome,
Mary Contrary was in her garden.
"Good morning, little flowers. Good morning baby birds," said
she. "Surely you bent nie up this morning. And you Tiny Wren,
don't you hide behind that leaf. You waked me, and I thought of
the little piece mother taught me yesterday which she said a
great man wrote.
• "A little bird with a yellow bill,
Hopped upon my window sill,
Cocked his shiny head and said:
Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy head?"
Then all the little flowers and birds laughed, and the breeze
carried the happy sound as Mary Contrary went to eat her morn
ing meal.

Greatest of All
Hunan Blessings
The most wonderful thing In the world
Is love expressed in the helpless iniant.
And among those aids and comforts for
expectant mothers is the well known
"Mother's Friend." I
This is an external application to
enable the abdominal muscles to become
more pliant, to expand naturally without
undue pain from the strain upon cords
and ligaments.
In almost every settled community are
women who have enjoyed the blessing of
this famous remedial and helpful embro
cation. Their daughters have grown up
to learn of its splendid assistance.
Applied as directed upon those muscles
involved It soothes the fine network of
nerves with which- all the muscles are
supplied. Thus a great share of the palna
so much dreaded may be avoided and the
period of expectancy passed through In
ease and comfort.
Anything that adds so muoh oomfort
must be counted as a blessing indeed.
In a little book sent by mall muoh use
ful Information is given to inexperienced
mothers. It tells how to use "Mother's
Friend" and how to avoid making breasts.
