material and beautifully finished. They also have
a nice organ and altar furniture. I did not un-
derstand word, but enjoyed the music so much.
Everybody sang-children joined in heartily. They
kept perfect time and have such SOFT sweet
voices; did not hear single harsh voice in
the congregation. The old people cling to the
peasant Dress but the younger are copying
our styles.
During service my mind kept straying back to
the past history of these good people, and
thought over and over: "What lesson for u.s."
Truly they know how to appreciate religious free
dom. This church would be credit to many city
congregations, and every church member could
learn lesson from these pure unselfsh Chris
tians.
Sometime hope to visit Valdese in the week
when I can-see these people at work and in their
homes. Then will tell you more about them.

How to Spend the Winter Evenings.

Dear Aunt Jennie viii you permit stranger
to chat awhile with you all on how to spend the
winter evening so as to be enjoyed by alls Of
course, the little folks come first. 1t is nice to
commence with flushing popcorn, roasting pea
nuts as they all like to eat. Then think it nice
to make some sugar candy. Then take some of
your flushed corn and peanuts stick together with
some candy; then you have some nice inexpensive
candies, which will be enjoyed by all. After you
are through with the candy and father is reading
his favorite newspaper, and the gIown-up ones
are out visiting have company, it is easy to
keep them interested with pictures, puzzles, and
books. If they can read, have them read to you
while you are at your evening work. Help them
to sing little songs; most of them take delight
in singing. And, mother, won't you sing them
some of the songs you heard many years ago! 7!
"For there are no songs like the ones mother
sang" wonder if you will ever regret it if you
lay aside for awhile your work, age and feeling,
and be child2 Help them to play few simple
games as"William Trimble-toe," "club fist" blind
fold" and many others. Perhaps by this time

tell them an interesting story. Picture it in their
tender minds.
The older ones have been enjoying the evening
by themselves. Have some of their special friends
visit them, and perhaps bring over some musical

igious and news papers, to keep abreast with the
times any one will find it hard to while the even
ing away enjoyably.
Perhaps some of you can recite well; there is
nothing so amusing and entertaining recita-
tion well spoken. You can arrange it to be a sur
prise to most of the family.
Now for our little family chat of the days past
and plans for the future, which is as nice all.

means 'too long" 1t is not often can leave,

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Last week Harry Farmer spoke of the impor-
tance of flower garden or the Joy flowers afford
the women in the family. Now I am a woman and
can fully appreciate the truth of his statement.
Let hope that the women will be given space
enough for flower yard, and then don't forget
to have the heaviest work, spading, etc., done for
them. They will find pleasure and recreation in
doing the rest, provided they allowed few
extra dimes with which to purchase flower Seeds
The art of arranging flowers correctly is reg
ularly taught branch of learning in Japan. There
certain flowers which used only on festive
occasions and certain others which are absolutely
prohibited by custom. The japanese reverence
flowers and attach much Importance to everything
concerning them, even the position a occu-
pies in room is matter of great Importance to
them. There is a flower for each month in the
year and one for every occasion, happy other
wise They arrange special bouquets for birth
days, for death, and hundreds of other ceremonies
which are an integral part of japanese life, and
for which it would be serious mistake to use the
wrong flower. 1t is not considered good taste
to stand too near a vase of flowers in order to ad-
mire them, three feet being respectful distance.
Not so with us; we may take the fragrant things
in our own hands and inhale their perfume and
fondle them all we wish without having violated
any law of our national etiquette. I did not mean
to say so much about flowers, but so fond
of the dear little things.
am especially happy this week by reason of
the return of Pansy, one of our most popular and
charming correspondents, whose long absence has
been much regretted The entire Circle will learn
with delight that she is to write much oftener
hereafter.
I also have the pleasure of introducing two new
members this week, both of whom write well.
Help me to welcome them and make their stay
both pleasant and mutually beneficial.
AUNT JENNIE.
P. ST. can't close without a hearty "thank
you" to all those who have recently spoken kind
words of appreciation and encouragement to US.
This has given a new impetus and the work is
easier when we know that you interested.

On Choosing the Better Part.
Rowan Co., N. O.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I wish to join you in your
solicitation to hear from Search Ward again.
Now, many hundred of mothers have failed to
say, "John, Search, want you to be good
man; have faith in you.''
Aunt Jennie, why is it some mothers have
more faith in their boys than others? Is it not
that they talk to One about their boys who has
made precious promises? It might be the promises
in Psalms 81 5, in connection with bringing
them up in the way they should go, etc.
I fear too many mothers and fathers say, "Son,
/ want you to lay up treasures EARTH" If not
said in these words, it is said by example at least
six days out of seven every week. They just re-
verse the injunction to lay not up, etc., "frst
duty" Aunt Jennie, are there not scores of boys
like Search that you could induce to let in some
bright rays the Chat column? 1t might arrest
some wild boys that have been weakened during
the holidays instead of being as Search says:
Il return to my duty, with new vigor,
strength, new ideals, and a stronger determina-
tion to be what my mother wished me to be,'-a
good man. I regret he left out the "good man"
in quoting, etc.
In conclusion, Aunt Jennie, remember yours is
a very important factor in the makeup of the
paper. The Farmer says it is going to do great
things this year-and I believe they are on their
part. But if we have to build larger barns to
make for so much goods to be stored, there
will not be much sunshine if they are not filled
in wisdom. But "thou food' will drive all the
sunshine out and the "bleating of the sheep and
lowing of the cattle' will not be sweet music to
the disobedient.
I know, all know, it is best to obey the
injunction Of our Lord and Master; to "Seek first
the Kingdom of Love-" and by doing we catch
a ray Of the sunshine which illumined the poets
soul when he inquired:
"Is not this the land of Beulah
Blessed, blessed land of light,
Where the flowers bloom forever
And the sunshine's always bright"

Dear Aunt Jennie:-There are no letters of
more interest to me than those describing strange
or beautiful parts of country, particularly our
State. So I will give short description of
of the most unique and picturesque little vii
lagos in North Carolina, and perhaps in the
United States This is "Valdese," the Waldensian
settlement between Morganton and Connolly
Springs.
These people are of Italian BIRTH but their home
is on the French frontier. The history of this
people is full of bloody prosecutions at the hands
of the Church of Rome.
In 1893, colony of Waldensians to
Burke County and bought several thousand acres
of land. 1t was very poor, quite different from the
rich soil they used to at home But these
people had the blood of martyrs in their veins
they know no such word as Encouragement
and now after ten years of hard labor they have
made these red hills of Burke to blossom as the
rose"
Many of the men are fine masons and find ready
employment in surrounding. towns; but they are
clannish and keep their families at Valdese.
The girls make excellent nurses so gentle and
kind with children, and during the few first
years of their abode here many of them were
forced to 60 out nurses etc. But now they
have hosiery mill built and managed by them
selves, in which the young people find employ
ment. 1t was Sunday when I visited the little
village, so did not get to see the mill. We drove
past several beautifully-kept vineyards which
must remind them Of France. Their houses are
small, but comfortable and neatly kept.
These people are devout Christians of the Pres
byterian faith; and 1 have been told they are the
soul of honor. We attended service at their
church-how I wish every church member in
North Carolina could see that church. When these
Waldensians settled here they did not do as we
Americans do, build comfortable homes for them
selves, before they built their church. Of course
they have received considerable outside help in
money, but they carried the rock from the
tain side with their own hands,
It is built after the manner of italian churches,
and is silent monument to their skill, as all the
work was done by the Waldensians. The walls are
built of rough stone which is covered inside and
outside with white stone plaster. The windows
are of stained glass. The seats and other wood
work inside 10 not yet painted. but all is of good
