Dear Aunt Dorothy:
AS you are i'll 1 thought I would write
again and tell you of our large magnolia
tree. Early in the spring buds and leaves
SprOut out which bloom until June. 1t is
very seldom that they bloom later, but in
August and July new sprouts sprouted out
and they doomed over again. Now l will
tell you of the seed. AT first they are green
things with lot of little cells then the
cells get red and burst open and the seeds
hang out on fine white strings. The seed is
black and has a red pulp on the outside
Every year bird comes and picks around
until he finds some seeds, which he eats.
Some other time I will write again and tell
some more about the magnolia tree. 1 for
got to tell you about the fragrant smell the
magnolia flower has. The flower is white
and if you touch it, it will turn brown.
Some time I will send a drawing of it. 1
will close. Yours very sincerely,

THE EXPLANATION.
/ have just read your story in the chill
drens page about the two shpbuilderS, and
/ think both men We're at fault. One for
putting the decayed timber in the vessel
when he knew it was not strong, regardless
of what might happen and the other for be-
ing persuaded against his conscience to do
what he knew was wrong. He ought to
have insisted upon the other man using per-
feet wood in the ship. The moral to this
story is do not do wrong against your bet
ter judgment.
