Show Diplomacy in Small Things. Little Eloise Cave, aged seven years, was visiting her grandmother in Madison, Madi-son, Va., and was sent to carry a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor. By the exercise of infinite care she conveyed con-veyed her burden safely to the house and gave it into the hands of the lady for whom it was intended. The lady, however, was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it. "You needn't mind about that," said the little diplomt, without an instant's hesitation. "I don't think grandma has a cup to match the saucer. If she has I will go right home and break it myself." Popular Magazine. |
