paper-doll's house."

This was generous on Marjorie's part, for just then her paper-
doll's house was her dearest treasure.

But Stella rose to the occasion.

"I w-wont t-take it," she said, still sobbing, though trying hard
to control herself; "it wasn't your fault, Marjorie; I oughtn't to
have been so silly as to be scared b-because you said b-boo!"

By this time Jane had removed all evidences of the accident, and
except for a few stains on Stella's frock, everything was in
order.

But Stella, though she had quite forgiven Marjorie, was upset by
the whole affair, and wanted to go home.

So Grandma declared she would take the child home herself and
apologize to Mrs. Martin for Marjorie's rudeness.

"It was rude, Marjorie," she said, as she went away; "and I think
Molly must go home now, and leave you to do a little thinking
about your conduct to your other guest."

So Marjorie was left alone to think, and half an hour later
Grandma returned.

"That was a naughty trick, Marjorie, and I think you ought to be
punished for it."
