pieces of poetry, an' all kin' of things; an' I'll name one of the
stories 'Nettie Herbert:' don't you think that's a pretty name,
Dumps?"

"Jes' beautiful," replied Dumps; and Diddie wrote the name at the
beginning of the book.

"Don't you think two pages on this big paper will be long enough for
one story?" asked Diddie.

"Plenty," answered Dumps. So at the bottom of the second page Diddie
wrote "The END of Nettie Herbert."

"Now, what would you name the second story?" asked Diddie, biting her
pencil thoughtfully.

"I'd name it 'The Bad Little Girl,'" answered Dumps.

"Yes, that will do," said Diddie, and she wrote "The Bad Little Girl"
at the top of the third page; and, allowing two pages for the story,
she wrote "The END of The Bad Little Girl" at the bottom of the next
page.

"And now it's time for some poetry," said Diddie, and she wrote
"Poetry" at the top of the fifth page, and so on until she had divided
all of her book into places for stories and poetry. She had three
stories-- "Nettie Herbert," "The Bad Little Girl," and "Annie's Visit
to her Grandma." She had one place for poetry, and two places she had
marked "History;" for, as she told Dumps, she wasn't going to write
anything unless it was useful; she wasn't going to write just trash.
