Prince Charming claims her for his
own kingdom. She will grace it all
the more beautifully and be all the
dearer to those who come into it for
her lifelong training in a home under
the wings of a good mother and father.
SO many girls fret against the re-
strictions of home that their parents
are glad to get them into some office
or business where they will be more
contented. Is this fair to their training
and tender care during the years of
helpless infancy? Does not the girl
owe them something besides the privi-
lege of feeding and clothing her?
Perhaps a mother might do we'll 70
put some of her household RESPONSE
bility on her shoulders, so that she
may have less leisure in which to get
restless. But if doing so would it not
be wise to give her some pay for it SO
that she can have the coveted pin
money which makes her chum indie
pendent? Get at the girls point of
view. This is a work-a-day world and
we need not be surprised that our
girls get the fever in their blood and
listen impatiently to the call of the
office. Dishwashing and mending seem
very commonplace as compared with
being dressed up all day and playing
the keys of a typewriter. Girls love
pretty things and see thus way to
get them, but if this means sacrificing
the home, selfishly leaving work they
should do to older and weaker hands,
and giving up the pretty charm Of
the sheltered home. Girl, is not the cost
very great? Can you afford to do this
thing for the sake of personal vanity :?
Don't waste your time in longing
For bright, impossible things;
Don't sit supiney yearning
For the swiftness of angels wings;
Don't spurn to be a rushlight,
Because you are not star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
BY shining just where you are.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

My Dear Juniors:
" on all delighted me with your let
ters about the heroes, and this
Il week I hope to have even greater
joy in receiving letters in which you
will tell me what you would do if you
We're Santa Claus.
This subject ought to please every
one. Even the littlest tot can easily
imagine what she or he would do if
given Santa Claus position and power
Tell what you would give to the poor
children, what you would give your
teachers, your parents, brothers and
sisters. What would you like to do for
your home city? Suggest the gift
which would be of most benefit to your
favorite park or playground.
OF course, when you are imagining
yourself Santa Claus you will not for
get the many charities of the city and
the worthy cause in which they work.
Let me suggest to some of my older
nieces and nephews that you make
your letters touch more especially upon
the larger side of the topic, gifts to the
schools, parks, city and so forth. rather
than the family Christmas dinner ana
Christmas tree. The many boys and
girls who attend church and Sunday
school will be sure that Santa Claus
does not overlook their favorite place
of Worship
hope every one of my readers will
write me a short letter on this subject.
Remember, now, boys and girls, will
be disappointed if any one of you fails
to tell me what you would do if you
were Santa Claus.
With the Christmas spirit in the air,
and everybody bearing the utmost good
will to his neighbor, 1 am sure that the
presents that old Santa Claus will make
will be generous and 1 hope they VIII
be chosen with discretion.
Speaking of presents-I know that
some of the boys and girls are already
preparing to make their own Christmas
gifts They will want to remember
their relatives and dearest friends. l
hope they will remember at the same
time some of the unfortunate folk who
have no close friends and who's Christ
mas may perhaps be a bleak and sor-
rowfuI affair unless the hand of friend
ly help is extended.
With affection to you all,
AUNT LAURIE.

MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I received my book and like it very
much. 1 like the stories of war and
I spend most of my time reading.
thank you very much for my book.
When 1 heard you were going to give
toys and a Christmas dinner to the
poor children 1 was pleased, and will
send half a dollar in stamps to help
you out. 1 can't send it in money very
safely, and so / will send it in stamps.
This is my third term in school. and

N o MANY young girls leave home,
says Katherine Moody Spalding,
~ because they are ambitious to do
the greater things in the world that
they read about others doing. They
despise the making of home pleasant
for the dear father and mother and
looking after the comfort of brothers
and sisters.
1t is natural for some to be great
but not all can be spared to fill these
high places. Duty comes first.
Ambition is commendable and we are
glad when We see it in young folks,
but one must not mistake restless spirit
or a covetous one for worthy ambi-
ton. There is marked difference be-
tween them.
Some girls are forced by circum-
stances to leave home to earn wages.
To such we could say, do the best you
can, be noble and keep your womanli-
ness and femininity unmarried by the
friction with the world. Do that which
is the most congenial and do it thor
oughly and fondly. You will be hon
ored as a brave girl
But we would urge every girl who
can do so to remain at home and
allow her family to enjoy for a season
her girlish grace and charm. She may
have civic, charitable or club inter-
ests, and by her loyalty to her own
personal kingdom endear herself to her
friends and be content until the

So have been told,
That way from home did wander
Out into the cold.

Meow, I want my ma.
Meow, meow, I'm very hungry.
And want some milk right now"
But a little grille heard her
Mewing in the cold,
And she ran and called her gently.

And she gave to that stray kitten
A very comfy home;
And the kit was very happy

UNFINISHED STORY

When Mary and Jessie were
coming home from school they
saw a little boy crying bitterly.
He was only about 7 years old and
wore no shoes and stockings. His
coat was very ragged and his hat
was simply torn rag of felt, In
one hand he held an empty milk
bottle and in the other was a dry
crust of bread.
The girls stopped and asked
why he wept. Between his sobs
he managed to tell them that he
had been to the grocer's for milk
for the baby, and as he had no
money the man refused to let him
have any. He had only this stale
loaf, and the little fellow was cry
ing because he knew his baby Sis
ter could not eat this dry bread,
but needed milk.
The girls felt very sorry for him
and said they would bring him
some milk. He~told them where
he lived and his name, Arthur
Brown Mary's mother sent Jack
to the address with provisions and
fuel, and when he came home he
told them that Arthur's mother
was very sick with a terrible
cough, and that he had little sis
ter only l year old who was cry
ing with cold and hunger.
Afterward the girls asked their
mother to let them earn some
money to give-little Arthur, his
mother and baby sister some
things for Christmas.
"All right" said their mother.
and Tor each dime that you earn
yourselves will put another dime
with it, so that your money will
be doubled for purchasing the
things which Arthur and his
mother need for Christmas.
The girls were delighted, and
at once set about making plans
to earn money.
Tell what schemes the girls
adopted for their moneymaking
effort, how much money they
earned and what they bought
and did for Arthur and his sick
mother and little sister.
One prize, handsome book,
will be given for the best conclu-
sion to this story.
Write from $50 to 800 words
on the subject, using one side OF
the paper only. Sign with name,
address, school and grade. and be
sure that it reaches this office not
later than Saturday afternoon
next.
