hese wonderful confections.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt worry,ŌĆØ said Claribel; ŌĆ£the stronger they act the better I shall act myself.ŌĆØ She went away, after saying this, but stopping in at a dry goods store to shop, she forgot the precious box in her new interest and left it lying on the ribbon counter. Then little Bessie Bostwick came to the counter to buy a hair ribbon and laid her parcels beside the box. When she went away she gathered up the box with her other bundles and trotted off home with it. Bessie never knew, until after she had hung her coat in the hall closet and counted up her parcels, that she had one too many. Then she opened it and exclaimed: ŌĆ£Why, itŌĆÖs a box of candy! Someone must have mislaid it. But it is too small a matter to worry about; there are only a few pieces.ŌĆØ So she dumped the contents of the box into a bonbon dish that stood upon the hall table and picking out the chocolate pieceŌĆöshe was fond of chocolatesŌĆöate it daintily while she examined her purchases.
