about to learn what she can teach us
Of her method. In going along country
roads and paths have you not admired
the shadows that the flowers and all
graceful plants cast on the ground?
Those OF leaves and vines actually dis

better advantage than a be seen in
the objects themselves, because shad-
ows have no perspective and no shad-

Of flowers or Of leafy twigs for draw

while the vase is slowly turned until
the shadow shows them to be suitably
placed.
AS a rule objects like large leaves
and birds nests are best for simple
outlining, while delicate and compli-

"a patriot soldier of the neighbor-

buried by the scout in q shallow hole.

Prudence was the colored maid on

summer school. To be chosen as a pei

To the girl she liked she brought
unlimited towels. while some less

Betty Belle with materials for a mid.

Betty Belle was from the south
hence her name. There had been two
aunts beloved by her mother. and the
little girl had been called after them
always. Betty Belle wondered why
the northern girls thought it funny.
"Well we don't string ours together
that way. as a rule" Drusilla Davis
told her. "And l don't believe WE
place such value on names. But you
are a dear, Betty Belle, only you arc

"How different?" Betty Belle ques

"Oh. you are so old fashioned and
pretty and serious"
Betty Belle blushed. "You are pretty
too, Drusilla."
Drusilla shook her head. Not in the

Belle"
The scholars of the summer schoo
ate at an adjoining boarding house
