"I want to know, does Lois like honey ?" said she.
"Yes, she's real fond of it." "Well, I'm goin' to send her over a dish of it.

Ours was uncommon nice this year.

It's real good for a cough." On her way home Mrs.Babcock met Lois Field coming from school attended by a little flock of children.

Mrs.Babcock stopped, and looked sharply at her small, delicately pretty face, with its pointed chin and deep-set blue eyes.
"How are you feelin' to-night, Lois ?" she inquired, in a tone of forcible commiseration.
"I'm pretty well, thank you," said Lois.
"Seems to me you're lookin' pretty slim.

You'd ought to take a little vacation." Mrs.Babcock surveyed her with a kind of pugnacious pity.
Lois stood quite erect in the midst of the children.
