I should feel ashamed to be seen when the next little boy borrowed me. "Or leave me out in the rain. Books can catch cold as well as children. ' "Or make marks on . me with your pen or pencil. It would spoil my looks. "Or lean on me with your elbows when you are reading me. It hurts. "Or open me and lay me face down on the table. You wouldn't like to be treated so. "Or put between my leaves a pencil or anything thicker than a single sheet of paper. It would strain my back. 'Whenever you are through reading me, if you are afraid of losing your place, don't turn down the corner of one of my leaves, but have a neat little book mark to put in where you stop, and then close me and lay me down on my side so that I may have a good rest "Remember that I want to visit a great many other boys and girls after you are through with me. "Besides, I may meet you again some day, and you would be sorry to see me looking old and torn and soiled. Help to keep me fresh and clean, and will help to make you happy."
