come guest; it would doubtless seem that when so young
a girl goes visiting without her mother, she might be more of a care
than a pleasure. In the first place, Eloise was careful not to go
farther than the end of the block when she went outdoors to play; the
end of the block was as far as Mrs. Dawson could see from the
sitting-room window and, as she said she did not want Eloise out of her
sight, Eloise took pains to remain within it. When either Mr. or Mrs.
Dawson asked her to sing one of her dear little songs, she did so
willingly, though it was very hard to sing the first time before Mr.
Dawson who was a complete stranger to her. In short, whatever Eloise
could do to please her hostess, she did, and she tried to leave undone
the things she thought would not please her. Perhaps Eloise did not
think of it that way, but she just followed the Golden Rule, and it is a
very good rule to follow, either at home or when visiting, or, indeed,
at any time.
--_Written for Dew Drops by Marie Deacon Hanson._
It is good to see the way a brave, manly boy goes through the day,
shirking no duty, but doing cheerfully whatever his hand finds to do.
