SUMMER TREATS

III OW many of you would like to have
III a treat of some sort this summer?
- 1 would like particularly to know
whether or not the Juniors from out
of town could come to join in some
sort of a frolic during the vacation.
If possible 1 want to get all my large
family of neices and nephews together
for an outing about the middle of the
school holidays, and in making my
plans it will be necessary to know
about how many of the young writer's,
poets and artists who contribute to
the pages of the Junior can be present.
Now will all the out of town Juniors
telr me when they write next time,
whether they could come in to enjoy
a good time with us.
1t is impossible to tell you yet just
what form the frolic will take but
there will be one, and as soon as 1
know how many boys and girls want
to participate in it we can begin to
get the arrangements under way.
l want to remind you all that only
those Juniors who write regularly to
supporters of The Herald Junior, are to
be eligible for this treat. The boys and
girls who want to enjoy it must have
had at least two contributions pub
lished in the Junior in the four weeks
Immediately preceding the good time,
so if you or any of your friends have
allowed your interest to lag little,
it is not too soon for each one to get
busy and send a letter, a limerick,
story or picture to me.
The topic, Returning good for evil"
will be one which you will all enjoy,
1 hope l know that there is not one
of my young readers, and perhaps some
of the older ones, too, who will not
know of some instance where this
beautiful precept was obeyed. I want
the writer's and readers of this paper to
think of good and lovely things as
much as possible, so it will be very
desirable that you each think of some
instance in which the forgiveness of
some injury and the doing of some
generous or heroic deed is concerned.
know that many of the artists will
submit striking designs for the new
Roll of Honor head piece. You have
all had sufficient experience in making
those small pieces to be able to pro-
duce something extra good this time,
and I warn you l shall have high ex-
pectations.
The last time we had this subject
AI.os, oi,f,,
in the right proportions, but had their
picture so drawn that the head piece
would have had to stand lengthways.
Choose some subject which admits of
low, broad treatment, and then apply
your blacks so that there shall be a
good heavy border all about the pic
ture.
Make the lettering an important
feature of the design instead of merely
an incident to the drawing, and if you
all use one little bit of the ability you
ordinarily show, 1 am positive we snail
have a head piece for our Roll of Honor
this next month which will be one Of
the best things of the year.
There is another pleasure in store
for the Juniors for the summer I think.
1 purpose giving some new prizes
which each boy and girl will particu-
larly want to win, and 1 hope to be
able to announce them definitely in
next Sundays paper.
Now don't forget to tell your school
mates about the treat The Herald
Juniors are going to have in the va
cation time, and tell them that it is
not too soon to begin sending contri-
button to your loving
AUNT LAURIE.
