Mary’s Valentine
BY:Mary BeekmanValentine’s Day is going to be soon. The bigger girls who help in the kitchen are being very silly. I heard them say that the very first person you see on that day is the one you are going to marry. I am going to keep my eyes shut tight until I hear Father’s voice [...]

Mary Looses a Tooth
BY:Mary BeekmanI think we are going to have macaroni and cheese pudding for dinner today. I like that very much. One of my milk teeth was so loose yesterday that Father tied a thread around it. Then he pulled on it and my tooth came right out. I found my tooth where it had skipped across [...]

Mary’s New Years Treat
BY:Mary BeekmanIt is the first day of the new year. I heard Father singing “Auld Lang Syne” last night. He was very loud.

Mary Learns of Christmas Charity and Eggnog
BY:Mary BeekmanFather was telling me a story. It is my favorite one. I have heard it before but I always want to hear it again. He told me he was born on a ship coming to this country from Germany. I wish I had been born on a ship instead of in a house. I have [...]
