“I Hear What They Say."
with family trees nntl yet they're for
ever talking about them. I've heard
so many people say of someone,
‘Oh. he lias no family tre#.’
“And then someone e!.ui will aay,
'Ah, but see what a family tree she
has.*
“At first I thought they must mean
a favorite tree in their garden or near
where they lived which hud beeu
there tot years aud years and which
they called a family tree. That was
what I thought.
“I thought they took a pride and •
joy to tliiuk of the length of time a
favorite tree had stood to be a joy
to all, to be a shade In the summer
and to be a place where the hoy*
aud girls could climb tip with a hook
or with a game or just for a talk or
■n snooze. But I’ve found out that
they didn't mean our kinds of trees
at all and that Is why I’m so puz
zled.
“fve found out that they mean that
t?loy have trees, family trees, not a
bit like ours. Fro gathered that fkoci

“And 1 can't tell you how puzzled
t am. t know that people have no
branches In the family and no root*

made tip a branch or a few uncles
who mado up a brunch or who looked
