It is tact, not discipline, that is needed, and the more he is helped the sooner he will live through this stage and come to the next point where he begins to throw things.

Each of the girls made one, too, and when they were filled with the coffee beans, and sewed up, Patty was again overcome by merriment at the regal appearance of their satin brocaded bean-bags.

Where was the Mary C.? Well, she was at the bottom of the Yukon, and her crew would like some supper.
Here are your bean-bags for the Ladies' Competition. I think I'm growing too old to care for these tamashas." They were getting up sports, and Georgie was on the committee.
