"Well," the Admiral said, "mothers and children make a pretty good picture at any time, but I should say this one couldn't be 'beat.' Two for the Navy, eh?" "All four for the Navy, perhaps," laughed the young man. "Nancy has already chosen a Rear Admiral and Kathleen a Commodore; they are modest little girls!" WELL THE ADMIRAL SAID MOTHERS AND CHILDREN MAKE A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE AT ANY TIME BUT I SHOULD SAY THIS ONE COULDN'T BE BEAT TWO FOR THE NAVY EH ALL FOUR FOR THE NAVY PERHAPS LAUGHED THE YOUNG MAN NANCY HAS ALREADY CHOSEN A REAL ADMIRAL AND KATHLEEN A COMMODORE THEY ARE MODEST LITTLE GIRLS
ible for the phrase by which mother and children had been known for some years. The Captain (then a Lieutenant) had brought his friend home one Saturday afternoon a little earlier than had been expected, and they went to find the family in the garden. Laughter and the sound of voices led them to the summer-house, and as they parted the syringa bushes they looked through them and surprised the charming group. A throng of children like to flowers were sown About the grass beside, or climbed her knee. I looked who were that favored company. That is the way a poet would have described what the Admiral saw, and if you want to see anything truly and beautifully you must generally go to a poet. Mrs. Carey held Peter, then a crowing baby, in her lap. Gilbert was tickling Peter's chin with a buttercup, Nancy was putting a wreath of leaves on her mother's hair, and Kathleen was swinging from an apple-tree bough, her yellow curls flying. "Might I inquire what you think of that?" asked the father.
