AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.
Dear Nieces and Nephews:

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy has only received one
answer to her late question, "WnaI
want to be or what l want to dc
when ] leave school?" The first reply
is from Tessie Reichle, one of Aunt
Busv's very dear nieces who lives
away in the north of Montana.
Aunt Busy will publish her inter
esting letter next week, and the girls
and boys viii surely follow Tessie's
example and answer Aunt Busy's
question.
Aunt Busy would like to know why
the little folks at the Kearns' st.
AIMS orphanage do not write to her.
She has never yet received a letter
from there. Aunt Busy attended the
closing exercises at st. AIMS recent
", and if the bright young people are
as proficient in letter writing as in
spelling and arithmetic, their letters
would prove most interesting. Aunt
Busy wished that her boys and girls
could hear and see the beautiful exer
cises, while the public examinations
were excellent.
Now, Aunt Busy wonders why such
dear bright young people do not think
to write her. She would like to see
many replies to her important ques-
ton from the Kearns' st. AIMS Or
Dhanage AUNT BUSY.

And at night they knelt,
And to God they prayed,

Aunt Busy is sorry you do not like
your home. Try to be contented, be-

only try to be happy.
The little verses are very nice,
Sarah, and Aunt Busy hopes to hear
from you very often.
