ously to make our return possible, and our new
quarters comfortable. They have succeeded adj
mirably. The Students Building has been con-
verified by the use of curtains, into a temporary
dormitory. Each girl has a snowy little alcove all
to herself, where she has her bed and toilet neces-
stiles. Perfect order is kept by the girls during
study hours, and we find we can do as good work
now, or even better than when we were in our
rooms in the brick dormitory.
Our new dining room, which we call "Provi-
dence Inn" was erected on the tennis courts, near
the edge of the Peabody Park. We can hear the
birds singing out there every morning as we go to
our meals-that is, / mean we could hear them if
we were to stop talking long enough to listen to
them. The architects are busy now with plans for
the new dormitory, which DIR. McIver hopes to
have ready for us by next autumn. Sentimental
ties make us wish that it could be placed on the
site of the old buildin~ but we feel with our Pres
is near the main college building for our new
Library, the gift to the college from Mr.. Carne-
gle, and as a site for another college building
which we hope to have some time in the not very
distant future.
We all feel that our college has a great future
before it, and we see no reason why we may not
have here in our own North Carolina an ~institu-
United States. And I, for one, Aunt Jennie, am
not going to forget that it is to the good strong
men Of the Farmers Alliance that the college
owes it's establishment.

shelves fixed up in this house, and wife's fruit
jars, seeds and many other things too numerous
to mention are kept.
Now if any one should say that this well house
costs too much or they haven't time to build it, I
will describe the first milk house [ built many
years ago. Set up four posts six inches square
and six feet high. Set them three feet apart one
way and six feet the other way. Now put in a
floor about three feet from the ground and from
this floor board up outside and seal up inside and
pack the walls tight with saw dust, leaving about
half the front side unsealed for the door. This
door is hinged on at the bottom and opens from
the top, apron like, as old mems pants used to
let down from the top, apron pants. Now this lit
tie milk house, after the water trough is put in
and some shelves fixed around, is very convenient.
It should be near the well under a shelter so as to

~Springtime In Florida.
VAUGHN WHITE
Guilford Co., N. @.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have been thinking all
day of Thomson's "Hymn of the Seasons"
"These, as they change, Almighty Father, these
Are but the varied God. The rolling year
Is full of Thee. Forth in the pleasing spring
Thy beauty walks. Thy tenderness and love.
Wide flash the fields; the fresh'ning air is balm"
For spring is here; and surely there never was
a blue- sky or air more balmy than we are enjoy
ing now. The orange trees are almost through
blooming, and from all appearances the golden
apples" will be plentiful next year. An orange
grove in full bloom is beautiful, and the odor de-
lightful; but I like better the lovely pink of apple
blossoms, and much prefer their spicy breath to
the almost overpowering sweetness of orange
flowers.
The difference between the seasons is not so
marked here as it is up in the Old North State;
still we have them all-spring, summer, autumn
and winter. The spring is all any one could wish,
but the summers are trying. It is not the heat,
grees, but the length of them that enervates you
and wears you out.
Autumn here is known by cool nights and that
indescribable something in the air that is so in
MIGRATING. rather than by beautiful colored
leaves and harvest time. We have very few au-
tumn leaves, and harvest time is almost any time.
For the most part, winter is lovely, and the
tourist, who come here wear their summer dresses.
But when it gets cold enough for frost, it is cold.
have heard Northern people say that when it is
cold enough for frost here it seemed colder than.
it does in the North when the thermometer is sew
eral degrees blow zero.
Probably some of you will think me joking
when I say I have been to my garden this winter
TO gather such vegetables as tomatoes and squash,
and felt when I returned as if I had been playing
in the snow for an hour; but it is the truth.
It is never cold except when the wind is from a
northern direction. They are called ~nor'westers,
and generally come every two weeks, and last
about three days.

From the, State Normal and Industrial College.

Dear Aunt Jennie :-Perhaps you will be inter
ested to know how the college girls are tarlng
since the excitement of the fire is past and we are
again at the College. There are about four hum
dred back at work. And could you see them as
they go through the daily routine of college
work, all busy and cheerful, you would not recog-
nize US as the desolate girls of two months ago.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Our letters this week are all interesting. Mar
garet tells us of her home in the Land of Flowers
Eva tells us of hers in the mountains of North
Carolina, and Miss White writes of school life and
the buildings at the State Normal in Greensboro
If you had been with me this morning you would
have seen a lively crowd in my back yard. The
children of the neighborhood came and brought
their Easter eggs to hide and then hunt. You
would have enjoyed seeing their happy little faces,
and hearing their merry shouts when the search
was successful. l do not object to good-natured
noise, and half the fun of play is the freedom to
boiler as loud as one wishes. I am always sorry
for the silent child, as it is an unnatural being.
and either is sick or has formed the habit of 81
lence because of coercion. A prim grown-up little
being with dreamy eyes and pallid cheeks is not a
healthy child. / like frolicsome little girls whose
mothers have the good sense to allow them to run
and be natural; and the barefoot boy is a treasure.
Whittier, you know, paid him a tribute in ""The
Barefoot Boy" and / enjoy reading the poem
even now while the tramp of shoes are heard in
the hall Nor should I forget that delightful
production, "Borefooted," by our own North Car
olina poet, Mr.. Mcneil, printed in last weeks

Some one asked me not long since if I liked
Gerry baby boys"
No one cares very much for the boy or girl who
delights in crying ct everything and more espe-
cially those who cry simply to be heard. Have you
ever noticed the difference in the cries of child
hood? That of anger is most provoking, and those
of pain the most heart-rending. However, a ten
der-hearted boyhood usually indicates a noble
manhood. A boy who boasts that he never cries
is one of whom you had best beware, for if in
his boyhood his heart is too hard to be impressed
by pity or pain, what kind of a man, think you, he
will eventually become?
Now a "cry baby girl is less inexcusable, for a
girl is so dependent, so helpless, in very many
ways that her refuge is in tears. And there is of
tentimes so much relief in a big cry, provided she
goes off and cries alone, then bathes her face, ar
ranges her hair, and when she again appears in
the home circle, is brave enough to wear a smile,
and thus bear her burden alone, lot imposing 1t
on those who would not care or who prefer not to
know of it. There Is many a tight heart whose
only relief is tears, and to those who know what
it is to have your heart choke and almost suffo-
cate you, the quickest and safest remedy is tears.
No man likes to see a woman cry, but to cry and
then keep back the cross things you would have
said had you not cried, seems to me far p~refera-
BILE to enduring a continual warfare of words.
Yes, indulge in a good hearty cry all by yourself;
then leave the thought or grievance with the cry,
if you can, and come back the same sweet girl
you wont to be. Learn to face life bravely III
you would be har~- and add happiness to others.

Little Water-Gardens.

Any one who has a back yard and a pump may
have a novel bit of garden for semi-aquatic plants
which will be a pleasure to every one, says Coun-
try Life in America. The cost is very small-a
halliday from the carpenter and a dollars worth
of roots from the florist; the care is nothing.
The interesting group of wild-fowers which can
be raised by the aid of the pump will be quite
different from the usual row of dusty geraniums
and the struggling nasturtiums essayed by the
averaged woman with a bit of yard.
A small catch-basin should be paved with peb-
bles or broken bits of marble, the stones rammed
we'll down into the turf. This basin helps TO
spread out and distribute the water. The ordinary
daily use of the pump for domestic purposes is
quite sufficient to keep a piece of ground ten feet
square in a damp condition.
A small garden of this kind may be started
with such plants as cardinal flowers, purple gen.
tians, blue flags, Japanese umbrella plants, water
sunfowers, myosotis or forget-me-nots, violets,
marsh marigolds, and swamp mallows. These
furnish a succession of blooms for many weeks.
The roots of all these plants may be obtained from
any florist for about ten cents each.
Once upon a time there was a man who thought
he wanted the earth. Then he had a vision, and
be dreamed he did own the earth. He thought
the assessor came around, and he woke up with
a groan. He has never wanted the earth since.
