Out in the Garden

Baby and Rattle.

Baby is highly amused to hear his rattle making a noise. The dog seems amused too, for he is jumping up to see what it is all about.

Wayside Flowers.

It is a pity there is not more interest taken in wayside and field flowers, some of which are so very beautiful.

The Confectioner’s.

This is the shop of Mr. Sweet, the pastrycook. The children have just bought some sweets, and his lad is taking out a large cake on a tray.

It is half-holiday to-day, but it is too warm to run about the fields. So Susan and Emma are sitting in the wheelbarrow, at the kitchen door, and enjoying themselves as much as if they were sitting in a fine arbour. They have got puss with them, who seems to like it as much as they do. When the sun sets they will water their flowers, for they have got a nice flower-bed of their own, and some of the flowers are just beginning to blossom.
