LUCY'S GARDEN.

Lucy is very busy this bright, warm morning. She is working in her garden.

Do you see all her pretty flowers?

It is not a large garden, but Lucy likes to take care of it.

I wonder what kinds of flowers grow in Lucy's garden.

I am told that sweet violets grow in it in the spring, and red roses bloom there in the summer time. Now it is fall, and you can see some tall sunflowers near the garden walk. Lucy calls this garden her farm. Sometimes she works in it all day. There is much more in her farm than you can see.

One day Frank came to see the flowers. Lucy was very glad, and she wished to make Frank happy.

"Would you like to have a part of my farm, Frank? You may have it if you wish."

THE NEW BOOK.

One day last week our teacher brought a new book to school.

It was a big book with many pretty pictures in it.

She put it on a large round table, where all the boys and girls could see it.

Then she said, "Children, if you are good every day, I will read to you from this new book.'

That evening, when school was out, she read to us about some boys and girls who live far, far away from us.

When it was time to go home, she said, "In the morning, children, if you are here a little while before school begins, you may look at the pictures in this book."
