Show GETTING AROUND THE TRUTH Little Helen's Shrewd Scheme for Sugar Coating Fabrication Her Mother Frowned Upon. Little Helen, one of the youngest set of Scipio society, was missing her sister, who was old enough even to go- visiting and stay away from home three whole days and nights. She was getting more lonesome every hour and after having been told several sev-eral times by her mother that Louise -wouldn't be home until Friday, finally hit on a plausable pretext for getting sister home. "Mother, let's write and tell Louise that we have a new baby at our bouse. I know she would come home then." "But we could not write that that wouldn't be the truth, and it isn't nice to tell things that are not true." That apparently settled the mater, mat-er, but Helen-added : "Well, we could tell her it was a new baby doll when she got home that would be all right, wouldn't it?" Indianapolis News. |
