= GUILD a crazy corner be
~ called hobby? If so, my
hobby is quite an extensive one,
as it covers good space Of the
wall in my room. You have all
read '..The OldFashioned Girl" by
Louisa M. Alcott. Do you remem-
member the part where the grand
ma showed the children her treas
ures, each of which had a story!
l started my corner with the idea
of saving things so that I might
tell their stories to my friends
when I grew to be an old lady.
If have attended a dance and
especially enjoyed myself, keep
my program and tack it up in my
crazy corner; if a card party,
up goes my tally. In fact, if 1 have
an exceptionally good time any
where, there is usually some SOU
venir added in remembrance of it.
A "crazy corner is very handy
sometimes, too. If I ever feel very
blue, a look at my corner will soon
set me laughing, it brings so many
funny recollections to my mind.
I have often had hobbies, but
never one I have chung to SO long
as this. and it would be hard for
me to part with my "crazy corner"
