"Do it again," said Sunny Boy to Blake.

They did it again, half a dozen times in fact, before Blake and Fred
said that it was quarter to five and time to stop. Then they put the
small boys on the sled and gave them a ride home. Blake said no one
need say "thank you" to him, because he had had more fun than anybody!

That evening, as Sunny Boy sat in Grandma Horton's lap after dinner and
watched the fire burn merrily in the grate, he remembered that Oliver
had said the next day would be New Year's Day.

"What do we do on New Year, Grandma?" Sunny Boy asked curiously.

"Oh, people come to see us," replied Grandma Horton, giving him a kiss.
"And you may pass them the New Year's cakes that Harriet has baked for
us. You will like that, won't you?"

THE PARKNEY FAMILY

"Happy new year, precious!" said Mother, coming into Sunny Boy's room
to put down his window the next morning.

"Happy New Year, Sunny Boy!" cried Grandpa and Grandma Horton, when
they met him in the hall on the way to breakfast.
