The dog bristled up
and stared hard for a moment, and then, all at once, he seemed to wilt,
and away he slunk as if ashamed of himself.
I heard about this only the other day, my dears, and I tell it to you
merely to warn you not to try the little trick, unless you are sure
your dog will not get angry and jump for you.
It would not look well for you to slink off as if you were ashamed of
yourself.
THE KINDERGARTEN AT HOME.
DEAR JACK: Will you please tell your older boys and girls that in
good systems of Kindergarten teaching they will find a great many
means of amusing invalid brothers or sisters without wearying them,
and many games and much fun for the younger ones, who will learn at
the same time things that they ought to know. To carry out these
methods one wants sticks, blocks, slates, slats, colored balls, and
other things easy to make and cheap to buy, the use of which is
pleasant to teach as well as to learn and practice.
I bought lately a full set of Kindergarten apparatus such as I have
named, and sent it to a little niece of mine in California, and the
dear little one writes to me that she has had much happiness and
enjoyment out of it.
