"Oh, mamma!" And now there were no frowns on Judy's rosy, dimpled face;
nothing but smiles. To make a turnover was a delightful treat in itself.
But to help Tom to be a nice boy was more of a satisfaction. So the
little girl started to work, and under her mother's tuition soon had a
very wonderful-looking turnover made and baked.
[Illustration: The frowns had all left.]
"I'd most like to put salt in instead of sugar, just to pay Tom up,"
Judy thought to herself; and then a better feeling came to her and she
added: "Oh, no. I wouldn't, 'cause that wouldn't be right. I want Tom to
think I'm as nice as Daisy's brother thinks she is."
Master Tom came home whistling shortly after the dainty had been removed
from the oven. He thought Judy would be waiting for him with angry
words. So she was waiting for him, but with a beautiful smile, a rosy
face, and on a plate in her hand what seemed to Tom a very delicious
tit-bit.
"I made it--made it for you, all by myself. Mamma said I could."
"Oh, Judy! And I wouldn't take you with me!" exclaimed Tom regretfully.
"But you will next time, if I'm good; won't you, Tom?" said Judy,
coaxingly.
"As true as my name's Tom Tewsbury. I say, Judy, it was good of you to
make this for me, when I don't deserve it, but I won't forget it of
you."
And Judy felt well paid for her turnover.
HELPFUL AND HAPPY.
"I am so little!" sighed Helen,
"Tell me, dear mamma, the way,
How to make somebody happy;
How to be helpful each day."
Mamma replied: "To be helpful,
Be of a sweet, willing mood;
And, to make somebody happy.
Little girls need to be good."
