DELIGHTS IN HER GARDEN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My favorite hobby is the cultivation
of flowers l have many varieties OF
them. Among them are pansies, dah-
lias, Gamma lilies and roses.
The pansies are very beautiful. They
produce their large flowers throughout
the entire summer and have been
brought as near perfection as possible.
The combinations of color in the same
flower are exquisite and wonderful and
so delicate that no description can con-
vey an adequate idea of their beauty.
Next come the dahlias, in red, varie-
gated and all intermediate shades and
colofS.
Then again are the cannas. Nothing
surpasses them for bedding. They
bloom ali summer. and their flowers
are bright and snowy.
My roses are of different kinds and
colors. l have fifty varieties of them,
pink, red, white and yellow, which
make my garden beautiful. while the
sweet perfume lends enchantment to
the air. CLARE FITZGERALD.

hobby is. but l am going to tell about
swinging on rings. That is one of the
things | like to do quite we'll

is a swing with two iron rings on it.
Sometimes | swing a while before
breakfast. | take hold of the ring and
swing off a ladder and swing until I
can't hold on any longer, then I drop.
One thing I have always wished to
do is to hang by my knees. At last l
am able to do it without holding on.
Another thing | can do is to swing off,

ENJOYS EXCHANGING POST CARDS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I had friend whose name was Mil
dred. Her parents decided to move
to Utah. When they reached their new
home Mildred wrote to me and l sent
her a postcard in answer. 1t was a
view of Southern California.
This postcard started our exchanging
postcards. She sent me one with a
view of Great Salt lake.
| knew that Mildred was very fond
of ponies, cows. sheep and such ami
mails so 1 sent her a postcard with a
picture of farm on it. She was very
much pleased with it, She liked flow-
ers, too, so / sent her some postcards.

Dear Aunt Laurie:

not want a postal album to fill with
scenes of all kinds. l have four scenes
of Alamogordo. Two are of the park
and two of the Las Cruces college,
also have one of the lumber mills and
dam filled with logs on the McCloud
river. California.

them to send me scenes when they
sent me cards, and one day when

is HAPPY IN THE WATER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My favorite hobby is to swim. l go
as often as I can. When | first learned
to swim I wore a pair of wings. /
was out in the middle of the bathhouse
when the wings went down. so I went
down with them. I began to kick and
paddle. When I was about at the side
of the wall was so tired that ! went
down again. When I came to my
cousin caught me and pulled me to
shore.
1t is lots of fun to dive after you
learn how. But when you are learning
you get salt in your eyes. When you
go to wipe it out you go under and
get more in. Sometimes when you dive
you hit your head on the bottom of
the tank. When you have your eyes
open under water it hurts them. You
cannot stay under the water more
than three or four minutes Your

times out of ten.
One day boy named Frederick
Miles came to me and asked me IL

yes. He said that to be a good player
l must learn to be good catcher,
pitcher and batter, so 1 started to learn
to catch, and after long practice got

Then came throwing. This did not

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| like to play the piano. l have been
taking lessons for twelve years. When
l quit | was in the twelfth grade.
l was certainly sorry to stop, but my
teacher moved away and | would not
take from anyone else.
One evening was invited to a party
and they asked me to play. We were
to be dressed in old rags and torn
dresses. When | finished playing a
bunch of violets and two or three other
punches of flowers We're thrown al me-

someone came and stepped on my skirt.
OF course my dress tore when they

RAISES BANTAM CHICKENS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One of my favorite hobbies is read
ing books. l had nine given me for
Christmas presents. and ] read them
all through in about month / have
read about ten or twelve since then.
one of my favorite books is Thirty
one Years on the Plains and in the
Mountains" 1t is all about Indians
and cowboys.
Another hobby of mine is raising
bantam chickens. I have over dozen
hens and one or two roosters. I have
two hens sitting and another which has
six little ones. One of the little hens
stole her nest under some bushes, and
we thought perhaps she might have
been killed because she did not come
to eat with the others. She is the
chicken we call our pet because she
will come and eat out of our hands.

FISHING A FAvoRlTE PAsTIME

Dear Aunt Laurie
My favorite hobby is to go boating
or mooring. One day when we went
boating there were a lot of fish in the
ocean. Papa had a fishing line with
him. 1t was only a drop line, but we
caught about thirty fish in an hour
When We came down from Eureka
on the boat we ran into a sandbar and
were knocked down. We were mooring

TELLS OF FAvoRlTE GAMES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The game I like to play best is jump
rope. Sometimes we play follow the
leader This is the way we play it:
Some one is leader, and whatever he
does the rest of the children have to
do. Whenever one child misses he or
she has to take one end. Then the
person that has just had the end goes
to the last, and it keeps on till they
all get turn to be leader by others
missing.
We also play calling. One child will
run in and start to jump and then call
some one else; they will then call
some one else, and it keeps on till
every one gets in and is jumping. Then
they run out, one by one, till they all

very old ones among them. Once they

TINY BABY'S PITlFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it wers
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came Off I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
Is we'll. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, st. Johns Place, Ridgewood

A Rappy Husband,

Our house used to smell soapy and
steamy wash day." says a well-known
man, "but since my wife began buying
Easy Task laundry soap, there is no
more Of that. I've investigated that
soap and find it is made of purest
cocoanut oil, cleanest tallow, borax and
naphtha, and that it not only cleans,
but antisepticises clothes, cooking ves-
sells and everything else washed with
it. We tried it first by buying two
cakes for ten cents, with the under
standing that our money would be re-
funded if it didn't make good. OF
course, it made good"
