THE SOUVENIR PosTALs.

NO doubt some Of our colder" read
ers will not understand why we are
always sending out postals. We send
them because we realize that the
Juniors are delighted to get them.
However we do not want the Juniors
to acknowledge them by simply
thanking US or writing receipt, but
we do want them to write nice lit
tie letter telling us of their pets,
their home, the beautiful flowers or
something else of interest. We will
give surprise prize for the best let
ter by June IL. So if any of the
Juniors want to be ranked among the
prize winners, they must write pretty
soon We already have some excel
lent letters. We will still send out
postals to Juniors the week in which
their letters or stories appear on the
Junior page. We have some beauti-
full new postals which we are sending
put. The Juniors might write letters
to some absent member of their fam
lily or else they might pretend to be
away on a trip and write home.

exclaimed, in very kind way eff

where did she come from? See what

you can squeeze and hug her." and she
lifted her up in her arms.
Let me see,'' cried little Lady Jean,
and she took Bettykin and squeezed
her tight, while Betty looked on, all
pleased and happy now.
you may carry her to the feast,
Jeanie," said the beautiful young
lady,-''If Betty is willing. We don't
know how she came here, but we are
glad to see her, all the same are we
not, children?"
Glad to see her!" shouted all the
little girls and they marched on again,
Bettykin at the very head of all the
line in Lady Jeans arms
And when they came to the feast
there were tiny chairs set for the dolls
on the grass around a tiny low table
with tiny bits of dishes on it. An on
every plate there was a strawberry,
and cake the size Of thimble, and
in every cup there was wee, wee sup
of milk, and there were plenty Of
chairs and one over for Bettykin, just
as if she had been expected
The little girls all sat around their
own big table and had everything and
more to eat, and everything and more
to drink, and each box of sweeties to
take home. Muff didn't sit at the
table, but he came close by and waited
few minutes and seeing that nobody

he had rubbed off his red ribbon.
Then he came frisking back and
when the beautiful young lady saw
him and said, Naughty little Muff!''
he answered quite sharp and loud,
'Woof! Wool! dog can't be dressed
up all the time"
BY and by it began to grow just a
little dark under the table, and the
beautiful young lady said she would
take Betty home herself and tell her
mother that Bettykin was the very
incest and best behaved of all the
dolls that were at the party, for she
had heard by this time that Betty's
mother didn't want BettylSin to come,
and would be very much ashamed
when she knew how strangely and
suddenly she had appeared
SO the beautiful young lady set her
right beside Bonnie Lesley on the seat
of the new carriage,-yes, right on the
seat, and side by side Betty pushed
them over the lawns, down the gravel
walks and through the great gates of
the castle!
And when Betty's mother saw them
and the beautiful young lady told her
how glad she was that Bettykin had
come to the party, mother courtesied
and said, Indeed she wasn't fit my
lady, and thank you very Kindly, my
lady, for bringing my Betty home"
So this was the end of Bettykin's
seventh adventure and it is the last
one there is room for in the story.
Was it the last that ever happened?
Oh no, there never will be an end to
the adventures, think, SO long as

THE ADVENTURES OF A DOLL.

It was when Betty, Bettykin, the
small fat boy and Bonnie Lesley were
taking the air one day that the beau.
tiful young lady drove by in the pony
cart, and seeing Betty's mother clean,
ing the front steps and making them
all pink like the house, she pulled up
Raj very quickly and said good morn,
ing.
And Betty's mother courtesied and
said good morning, too.
Then the beautiful young lady told
Betty's mother that her little niece,
Lady Jean, was visiting at the Castle,
and that she intended to give party
for her the very next day, if the
weather should be fine, and that she
wanted every little girl in the village
to come at 8 o'clock and bring her
doll.
And Betty's mother courtesied
again and promised that Betty should
come, and very pleased she was, oh,
very pleased indeed. Betty was pleas
ed, too, but not the small fat boy, for
he wasn't invited, being only boy
and made of "ships and snaps and
puppy dogs tails
The next morning early, Betty was
looking out of the window to see if the
sun was shining. And yes, he was
oh, bright, bright, bright, and the
birds in the beech-tree walk were
singing sweet, sweet, sweet, and the
blue waves on the loch-side were
FLASHING soft, soft soft!
And after breakfast Betty's mother
washed and ironed a new white pima
fore for her and said she could wear
the blue beads the big young man
had sent her Then Betty was scrub
bed and combed and curled for the
party, and Muff was scrubbed and
combed too. Oh, didn't / tell you he
was invited? Yes, indeed he was.
The beautiful young lady asked him to
come particularly, and said to tie up
his hair on the top of his head with
a red ribbon so that he could see
where he was going and not knock
over the little girls, or lose their
dolls.
And didn't he lose any dolls? No,
he didn't lose any, he-but l mustn't
tell you that part now.

So Auntie had to go for the broom

THE MOUSE.

The house mouse is very common.
The wood or timber mouse is a white
and brown house. Meadow mice are
large with very short tails. Harvest
mice build their nest in the grain
above the ground. Jumping mice have
strong hind legs and jump far. Spin.
ner mice are white and brown or spot
ted. They derive their name from the
habit they have of continually whirl-
Ing around. When confined in a cage
they whirl around almost continually
when not asleep, apparently trying to
catch their tails. There are also
