"Yes, ma'am, thank you, teacher," said the thirteen-year-old gratefully; and went off to a corner, where she sat till closing time entranced over her own happy choice, "The Adventures of Peter Rabbit," with colored pictures dotting it satisfactorily.
Lucy Anthony soon became acquainted with the stern realities of life. Her third baby was born when the first was three years and two months old.
