Fairy I{illXR.

Probably we have all seen in the
fields or on the edge Of the woods that
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy folk came to be doubted 1t was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground OF the fairies. In the
moonlight the spirits danced. wearing
down the grass under their feet. At
least SO our grandfathcrs said. but we
must take sciences simple explanation
of it. A fungous plant will soon exhaust
all the fungous food from the soil be-
meath it. SO that only the spores which
fall outside this barren spot will take
root and flourish. So the ring is always
widening outward. forming perfect
circle unless something interferes with
it. The rings are abundant in wet
weather. of Il buff color or reddish

While Coroner A. l.. Bramkamp has
not rendered his verdict in the case
of Mrs. Augusta Greenhoff, who COM
mitted suicide yesterday morning by
drowning herself in the cistern at her

IMAGINATION MAKES
PICTURES MERlT0RI0US

I TMAGINATION entered into the work
of the Junior artists this week. A
Il great many of the competitors re-
allied the possibilities of the topic
with considerable sskill. and the prize
winning picture showing the Sandman
making his nightly rounds to keep. the
babies sleeping soundly is certainly a
pleasing conception of the subject.
1t is very delightful to have such
earnest artists as Vera Bridgford com :
ing into the ranks, and it will prove not
only interesting but decidedly bene-
fetal to all the members of Herald
Junior art division to have the inspira-
tion of competition with this talented
girl.
The winner of the second prize this
week is also a newcomer to the Junior
Eages; and her work is so promising
that one is led to anticipate many de-
lightful pictures later on.
Both these girls will do well to give
some attention to the announcement
concerning front page pictures which is
made on another page of this paper.
All high school pupils are at liberty
to enter the special competition, and
also all others who have received one or
more first prizes in this regular depart
ment.
Edithc D. Higgins, Huntington Park,
grade Z, has resumed her work for the
Junior, and contributed a well thought
out picture OF two little girls sleeping
sweetly while the small clock points to
the midnight hour. The doll tightly
CIasped in the arms of one of the tots
is further proof of care, and with
little more attention to the actual draw
ing the work would have been among
the very best although as it is it shows
considerable merit.
Bessie Ludford, r. F. D. No. 1, box
261, Long Beach, sent a suggestion of
Christmas night in her picture. The
stocking hanging from the chimney
piece, ard the little bed in the corner
showing a snug little figure we'll tucked
up, all make the quiet of the midnight
hour more impressive. Despite a def
cient background and some uncertainty
of line, the picture is an interesting one.
Christmas was in the mind of many
of the boys and girls, and another
young artist, Fay Wilson, 643 South
workman street, Griffin avenue school,
grade Al, H. ]. c. branch No. l, in
troduced a shadowy Christmas tree,
with its glittering balls and decora-
tions and half revealed toys. While
the clock near by strikes twelve, a Gu
rious little boy steals softly into the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-05

room with his lighted candle. Practice
in expressing her IDEAS win improve
Fays work materially, but it shows
promise enough so that she will be
justified in spending considerable time
upon it.
Paul Ickes, 1926 Key West street,
grade B9, Polytechnic, sent a drawing
in which the work was more than cred
liable, but unfortunately he selected an
uninteresting and commonplace inter-
pretation of the subject, degrading his
talents with an attempt at humor when
with some more aspiring interpreta-
tion of the topic he might have won a
prize. 1t is to be hoped that he will
follow the general trend of work used
in this paper, and will submit some
thing more along the lines already es-
tablished.
Unless it is especially requested. car

morous style is not desired. The boys
and girls who attempt this style of
drawing will find that their technic
as we'll as their intelligent conception
of a subject will be materially improved
if they will follow the general rules laid
down in the paper, and will try
thoughtful. painstaling interpretations
of the subjects announced. The editor
will always be glad to discuss this mat
ter with any boys or girls who desire
to call upon her at the office, and per-
haps some of those who are now trifle
uncertain as to just the sort OF work
which is desired will do well to come to
