LETTERS AND ANSWERS,
Salt Lake City, March Is. 1905
Dear Aunt Busy:
| hope you are very well as / am feeling fine.
] went to church today because it is the feast of
the Annunciation Aunt Busy, do YOU think it very
wrong to laugh Just a little bit when you are at
church! Just had to laugh today something was
funny. | will write to you soon again
Yours sincerely
FLORENCE WALSH
Aunt Busy Is very we'll thank you Florence and
really decidedly shocked at your question. She
never dreamed that any little niece of hers would
ever ask such thing. If you can not refrain from
laughing or any other bad conduct during services
why by all means leave the church at once Bad
conduct IN amy church is TO be condemned, and
Catholics should be very careful in this respect,
particularly because they in the presence of the
Blessed Sacrament in their own church
Aunt Busy may appear severe, little girl, but
some day you will understand why.
Your letter reminds her of very unpleasant
time she had once when she was a little girl With
her mother she attended funeral at Protestant
church. During the services, Aunt Busy, who was
really very bad little girl, began to laugh Her
mother looked serious and shook her head warn
ingly but Aunt Busy thought she must continue
TO laugh, which she did until she reached home
when she stopped very suddenly She got about the
best whipping that any small bad girl ever got
Now this, In Aunt Busy's opinion, is what every
little girl should get who does not behave in
church. So be good for the future, Florence.

Dear Aunt Busy
always write to you when l want to know
something important l have a sweet little sister,
who is nine years old [ am thirteen years and [
have many friends of my own age. They are nice
girls, but they do not want to play with my sister
because she is too little. Mamma says [ am not to
neglect my sister, and then the girls get mad at me
because l want her to always come with me and I
have a very hard time. What do you think about
il, Aunt Busy! Your loving niece
MARY Z. SHEEHAN.
Aunt Busy is pleased to be able to help you,
Mary. She is little severe on the subject on
which you are asking advice, though Aunt Busy
thinks your dear mother is quite right in what
she tells you. You certainly should not neglect the
little sister for any friends. On the contrary you
should try hard to make her happy and insist on
your friends doing the same. You may not always
have the little sister, dear, and you always find
friends. If any thing should happen to little
sister, Aunt Busy knows well what a heartache
niece Mary would have when she would remember
the times that she did want litte sister" with
her Treat little sister" with loving kindness,
Mary and you will never have any regret that you
were thoughtless about her happiness. Of course
little sister must not be selfish and it might be well
for her to play with her little friends, and not
in any case the big girls must try treat the lit
tie ones with love and kindness.

Night had silently drawn her sable curtains
around tired world at the close of one of those
perfect days in June, when all nature is arrayed
in her loveIiest and brightest garb. The sun had
disappeared from his throne in the heavens, giving
place to the queen of night, the beautiful moon.
