IT is rather an effort for grandmother to write a letter, for her eyesight is not what it was ; but she must answer the letter which little Maud sent her this morning. So, putting on her spectacles, she sits down to her desk to tell her dear little grandchild how pelase she is to have the first letter Maud has ever written ; and she says that when the summer comes Maud is to come by and stay with her, and make hay in the meadow, which grandmother knows is a great pleasure to little folks. Then knowing Maud's fondness for animals there follows a list of the cats and dogs, rabbits and cows, all mentioned by name; and the letter finishes with grandmother's fond love and kisses to her little pet. Maud is very kind to animals. She is a member of the "Band of Mercy," for teaching children to be kind to animals.
