THE CHILDREN'S CORNER Rosepeter sat by the window, feeling very unhappy indeed. Ada Mary, Aunt Kate's maid, busy washing breakfast things and tidying the room, glanced now and then at the quiet little girl and sang slowly, and solemn- ly, and without any proper tune, a verse her own granny used to sing to her when she was small. "There was a little girl, who had a little curl I Right in the middle of her forehead; And when she was good she was very, very good, But when she was bad she was horrid." By the time Ada Mary had sung this six times Rosepeter uanted to cry, only she knew if she were to cry Ada hiary would make haste to sing it a- gain. So she held her eyes wide open and looked out of the win- dow without seeing anything, and wished and wished.and wish- ed that she was not horrid. Rosepeter had been living with Aunt Kate and Ada hfary since just before she was two, because her father was so ill her mother had had to take him to Switzer- land to nurse him better, and it was taking a very long while. And is not her name a funny one'? Before she was born her moth- er and her daddy used often to talk about the dear little baby boy they hoped God would send them some day, and they decid- ed to cal) him Peter, after his father. But somehow there was a mistake, and when the baby came, instead of a boy it was a girl. Her father said she must be named Rose, because roses, pink ones and white ones, when they peeped in at the vcindow and saw the baby, nodded their heads as though they were de- lighted; but her mother said she must have her daddy's name somehow, even though she was not a boy. So they named her Rosepeter, one word, just as it is ssvitten here, and they loved I er as much as they would have loved a boy. Rbsepeter was a pretty little girl, »ith a lot of short brown curls clustering thickly all over her head, and one, very fond of its own way, that persisted in making itself into a ring right in the middle of her forehead. Usually Rosepeter was very good indeed. but sometimes she was bad. She had been bad the morning we are reading about, very bad, quite horrid, indeed. She wanted to put on her white shoes, and when Ada Mary would not let her, insisting that they must be kept clean for afternoon Rosepeter hsd stamped and screamed, throwing her brown 'hoesacross the room and knock- ing over and breaking a water Iug- Whenever Rosepeter behaved like this Ada hfary chanted the verse about the little girl with the curl, and then sent her to Aunt Kate to be punished. Af- ter making sure Rosepeter really had been naughty Aunt Kate asked her what she supposed God thought of such wicked ways, slapped her on both arms, and sent her out of the room. Then Ada Mary always kissed the ring curl, gave Rosepeter a choc- clate biscuit, and said, "There! now you'e had the badness slapped out of you you'e a good little girl, and very nice indeed, sren't you, duckie?" So, of course. Rosepeter thought it wan slapping that made naughty girls good again, and as God seemed to be a long way off she did not mind what He thought; and Aunt Kate's soft, small hands hurting only a little, whenever Rosepeter felt inciined to be bad she did not troub)e to try to be good. But she did not like to remain hor- rid; as soon as the fit of temper iiad passed she wanted to be slap- ped and kissed and then to for- get all about it. This morning, however, Ada hiary could not send Rosepeter to be punished. because Aunt Kate, who was never quite well, was more poorly than usual; in- deed, the doctor had been and had said she must stay in bed and be kept very quiet. So Rosepeter sat still in the window, too unhappy to noticu the flowers in the garden bed» or the pair of blue-tits swinging head downwards on a half co- coa-nut tied to a branch of the lilac tree. Presently she said hopefully, "Can't you smack me, Ada Mary? Just this once? I do want to be good now." "hfe smack you!" said Ada Nary quickly; "not likely! Gooil gracious me, whatever do you think your aunt would say it' laid a fmger on you? You'l have to wait till she's better. There' the bell--I expect it's the nurse." Ads Mary hurried away, leav- ing Rosepeter feeling sadder than ever; it was better to have Ada hiary singing the verse than to be alone. Suddenly a happy thought came. She recollected that once when Bobbie Smith brought the milk his face wss very red and his eyes swollen, and when Ada hiary said, "What's the matter, Bobbie?" he told her his mother had whipped him for wading in the brook with his shoes on.
