nurse what does jack want to play house for anywayt she thought as she watched her small brother rearrange his benches that child minds nicely remarked a second nurse girl who sat next to annie the one iu charge of jack and dorothy may and that she does replied annie or i shouldnt have her in charge i wish i had control over billy liko that commented the other how do you do it well replied annie i never say much and the only punishment i uso is sending dorothy may to her room or making hrr sit on a chair but sho knows she has to mind me vou may get up now annie turn ed and called to dorothy may the little girl listlessly arose from her bench and wandered off toward a group of children shes a queer child though con- tlnued annie she hasnt any imagi nation like her brother and she doesnt know what to do with herself half the time shes always bothering tho other children the conversation was interrupted at tilts point by a childs scream annie got up from her seat dorothy may she called come back and sit on our our bench in trouble again commented an nie to her companion in the park sitting near the two nurse girls was an old gentleman who had read three pages of his book with out having taken in a sentence of what he had read the cries of tho children and the nurse girls conversa tion had occupied his attention ho looked over at the little girl on the bench pretty bright looking child he thought too bad too bad that there isnt someone to train her in stead of disciplining her she minds that nurse all right but ill warrant she defies every other member of tho family to make up for it the mans eyes went back to his hook but as he heard annies voice tell dorothy may to get up his thoughts wandered to the little girl again has no imagination he repeated to himself not the same kind as her brothers at any rate the old gentlemans thoughts wandered on there just isnt anything here in which she is interested that is the trouble all those children are too young for her too bad too bad and i suppose her mother thinks sho is having the best of care in the fresh air with a competent woman in charge her mother doesnt know and even if she were here maybe she couldnt see how her child is being ne- glected that little girl is perhaps not quite like the average child of her age someone who loves her should study her and guide her energies in some- positive direction theres something sho would be interested in she may not know what it is herself as yet someone ought to help her find that interest instead of raising black ire in her little soul by making her sit on park benches the old gentleman watched the group a few moments in silence then uttered a disgusted bah under his breath and began the page over again dorothy may again ho heard the kind but firm tones come sit on this bench no sit on this one right here added annie that old mans going i certainly am said tho old gen tleman to himself 1 cant endure lo see again the black look in those bright young
