and in that box found little spotted
muslin dress that my uncle wore when
he was a baby. A little puff about
four inches long made the sleeves.
From the rafters hung catnip, thyme
and sage, which gave very sweet
odors. I liked to sit and read the old
magazines, which wereN Peterson's,
Arthurs and the Saturday Evening
Post, which was a newspaper then.
There were many old Indian baskets

Describes Picturesque Garb of Grand
mothers Day with Skill
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
r. N paying a visit to my grandmoth-
er last spring 1 wandered into
" the garret. The building was an
old-fashioned structure of the ClVli
war time.
In every nook and place of the gar
ret were relics and discarded furniture
over in one corner stood an old-fash,
ioned trunk On going up to 1t l trled
to open it, but it would not yield
Looking around l spied bunch OF
rusty keys Taking them 1 tried one
by one The third was successful, anu
| raised the lid. A large paper, yell
lowed by age. spread over the top.
Removing this 1 found an array of old
fashioned clothes.
Taking the one on top out, I looked
it over. 1t was asyelow satin brocaded
skirt with black overskirt of shot SILK.
The bodice of yellow with the olack
lacings came to a point in front ana
back. 1t was cut bias in front and
high collar came far above the ears,
narrowing down toward the front.
Along the border of this collar were
places which showed where jewels had
been The sleeves were very short ana
of a light yellow chiffon. Around the
slight cuff was a black velvet band.
A pair of long kid gloves which bore
faded mark of Paris came next. Fol-
lowing it was a fan of yellow. fluffy
feathers. The white ivory handle was
curiously carved. That old-fashioned
water-silk ribbon hung in a loop and
had probably been put on the waist to
hold the fan. The ribbon was of blue
A round little cap of blue with
flowing yellow plume next met my
gaze.
AS I stood there with closed eyes
the vision of my grandmother attired
in this costume so becoming her au-
burn hair, which had now turned
white, rose before me. Cannot you see
her. too? FRANCES ELLIS.

/ opened it and saw some letters, books
and magazines. The letters were grand
ma and grandpa's love letters, written
before they were married. 1 opened
one of the books, and although l could
not read one word of it [ looked at
the pictures Grandma said it was
German book.
I crossed the room to dark corner.
where 1 found large chest that was
locked. By the side of it was an old
armchair that belonged to my great
grandmother.
Grandma said that the chest con-
tanned some of great-grandmother's
things.
l then went over to the two small
windows which looked out over the
bay. There on a shelf I found fife
that my grandpa played in the Civil
war. In the corner under the shelf
was cardboard box l looked in it
and saw an old ACCORDION.
There were several Things on the
wall, but what 1 found most interest
ing was a branch of cotton. Some of
the bolls were ripe and some were not.

BABY TOM FINDS JOY
IN ACTING AS SOLDIER
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie
TT WAS raining torrents, and Tom
and my sister were wondering
what to do when grandma asked
them why we did not go up in the gar
ret
whats a garrett" asked Tom, for
he was but years old and had spent
all his short life in New YORK nat.
'I'll show you,' said his sister Jessie.
So Jessie took Tom up to the garret.
The first thing Tom saw was a spin
ming Wheel He thought 1t a new kind
of bicycle, and demanded a ride. Jes-
sic laughed and said: "Oh, I'll show
you how it works, though it isn't a
bicycle" Jessie started the wheel go
ing round When she tried to stop it
she hurt her fingers so bad that it made
her cry
Tom tried to comfort her, but seeing
he could not he walked up to the spin
ming wheel and kicked out several
spokes AS this seemed to make her
cry all the more. he tried to put them
back in. He was SO clumsy in his at
tempts that Jessie began to laugh in
spite of her finger.
"Oh, you silly boy" she said, you
can't put them back in. But you can
help me open this old trunk.
Tom and Jessie opened the trunk and
found it full of old muskets and sabers.
Little Tom jumped up and down and
clapped his hands, and declared he
would be a soldier.
Mary fixed him up in an old blue suit
and buc<led a sword on him. He picked
up a gun and went marching back and
forth, declaring he was a brave man
going out to kill Indians. He then
marched toward the kitchen in grand
style.
The cooked happened to : mopping.
and she seized up duster and sent him
scurrying back to the attic. I don't
think he was such a brave soldier after

Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
MY grandmothers house was a
WI story and a half high, so 1 could
49, only stand up straight in the
middle of the attic. The roof sloped so
much at the sides that 1 would bump
my head if not careful.
At one side there was a window in
which could-reach my hand out and
pick two kinds of cherries. First there
were the Royal Annes, with one rosy
cheek; next the Black Republicans,
which were very sweet cherries.
There was an old tin box in which
were compositions and letters, some
written by my uncles and aunts when
children. There was also an old spin

clothes. In one there were six fur
caps and four fur coats belonging to
my great grandma's family.
In another corner were some organ
pedals of my aunties and the organ
stool, ragbag, a bundle of papers and
a few other things.
In the third corner were hampers of
bedding and a big bookcase full OF
books that l liked to read.
In the fourth corner were the best
things of all. There was closet of old
foreign costumes. l now have two
