This interest is also shown if the children's librarians attend meetings or conferences held in behalf of children or from which they may gather information on home conditions. Frequently there are courses of lectures given by charity organizations or club meetings of sociological workers where the problems of the city are discussed.
"They'll be in a rare state about Master Teddy at the vicarage!" she said after they had plodded on another hundred yards, making but slow headway against the drifting snow and boisterous wind. "I made him angry by taking away his kitten, I suppose, and so he determined to make off to his gran'ma; for we missed him soon after the children's dinner.
When the time was up she refused to dismount, constraining her escort to take several more rides on the back of these children's animals, to the great delight of the public, who shouted jokes at them. Monsieur de Belvigne was livid and dizzy when he got off. Then she began to wander among the booths. She forced all her men to get weighed among a crowd of spectators.
Yet how easily might this practice be put down. The ill effects of it are so self-evident, that there can be no need for further enlargement. I also disapprove of children going about begging at Christmas; this practice is calculated to instil into the children's minds a principle of meanness not becoming the English character, and the money they get, seldom, if ever, does them any good.
Are you ever in the home?" She implored, "Oh, my dear!" He was not to be placated. "Where is the home?" "Harry!" "Where's Doda?" She began in her spirit to move. "Staying with friends." "Where's Benji?" "You perfectly well know. Staying with friends." "Where are you?" She put her hand to her bosom. "Oh, beware me, Harry. Here." "For the night. Are you ever in the children's home?"

That was enough for me; and from that hour we often spoke together of our sainted mother, and Cousin Maud took care that we should likewise keep our father in mind. She had his portrait as she had had my mother's brought from the great dining-room, where it had hung, into the large children's room where she slept with me.
"Monsieur, we take twenty subscriptions to the 'Children's Journal," replied the dyer, still pale. "That being so," said Gaudissart, "why shouldn't we all breakfast together? Men who fight are always the ones to come to a good understanding." "Monsieur Mitouflet," said Gaudissart on his return to the inn, "of course you have got a sheriff's officer here?" "What for?"
Eva was right to pity this woman, and if her life could be saved she herself would relieve her necessities and secure her children's future. She silently made this resolve whilst the Sister led the way to the couch of the scourged thief.
