Mrs. W. It’s a very pretty valentine, Louise.

Louise (showing last one). I like this better. Freddie made it all himself, and it’s the only one he sent.

Bobby. ’Tis pretty, but it isn’t nearly so swell as Reggie’s. Besides, I thought Freddie wasn’t going to send any.

Louise. He said he wasn’t going to buy any, and he didn’t.

Bobby. Gee! And you sent him——

Louise. I didn’t either, Bobby Winston. I got those envelopes mixed, and sent him the nice one.

Bobby. And you sent the other to Reg? Kinder tough, when he’d treated the whole grade to valentines.

Mrs. W. I hope my little daughter didn’t send a comic valentine to any one.

Louise. I did, Mamma, but I shan’t again. I should have been so ashamed if Freddie had got it, when he made me such a pretty one.
