Show Her Preference. The fondness of Phillips Brooks, of Boston, the distinguished rector of Trin ity church, for little children is well known. Not very long ago Dr. Brooks was calling on a friend iu Cambridge, who is the happy mother of three childrentwo chil-drentwo boys and a little girl. Dr. Brooks soon had all three of the little folk about him and was questioning them in regard to their views of an occupation when they should be "grown up." One boy would be an architect, he said, and plan Queen Anne houses; the other thought lie would be a poet, like his late distinguished grandfather. "And what would you wisli to be, my dear?" said the clergyman to the little 4-year-old daughter of the house. "I think, sir," she replied modestly, as she caressed her doll, "that I should like to be a mother." Washington Post. |
