IN A GAY THRoNe OF WOMEN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
take medicine regularly. As I am
never a good sleeper, il follows that l
am enabled with no Inconvenience to
take any medicine during the night
with the regularity as during the day.
1t is my habit therefore to place my
bottle and spoon where 1 can put my
hand on them easily without lighting
the gas. SO l put them in place
of security on the dresser, as that is
but three or four steps from my bed.
1 had slept unusually well, and with
a sense of refreshment to which l am
not accustomed l awoke and began
stepping across the room toward my
dresser.
To my utter amazement the steps
that had hitherto sufficed to take me
across my room did not suffice to do
so now 1 advanced several PAGES,
and my outtsretched hands touched
nothing, but l heard-what did l hear?
The first sound of which 1 was con-
scious was one like the constantly
gathering and receding of river, and
it seemed to come from behind my
bed, where an old picture hangs. on,
ever on, came the murmur of the
waves; past. and ever past, they died
in the distance.
Then l heard above the murmuring a
pealing of bells, which might have
been of crystal, and might have sum-
moned the gates of heaven.
Then suddenly, without any warn
ing, my cropping hands to the right
and to the left touched living things,
beings in the likeness of men and
women, creatures in beautiful attire.
I would feel the soft, silken texture of
their garments, which swept around
me, seeming to enfold me in clinging
meshes like cobwebs.
l was in crowd of them, and now
and then a hand 1 knew closed over
mine Once an arm passed around me.
Then l felt myself being gently i'm
PEELED by this softly moving throng,
and I cried out in terror.
I was back in my bedroom, and this
was but a dream. Yet from that day
to this l can still remember that
beautiful night, and by closing my
eyes can recall the beautiful music
and can feel the spirits moving gently
by me. CLARE FITZGERALD

LIVED AGAIN IN HAPPY
SCENES OF CHILDHOOD
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
NJ OF long ago I received a letter
~ from a friend in my old home,
~ and it contained four wild violets
pressed This brought back the times
when we used to gather them in the
spring. SO I began to dream day
dreams about my old home in Mime
sofa.
That night when 1 went to bed | was
once more there, freckle-faced'
barefoot girl of H. with blue sun
bonnet and pinafore.
1t was lovely afternoon, such as
Minnesota often has, after delicious
refreshing shower. 1 padded bllsstully
along in the mud puddles in the SOFT
clay road.
The air smelled sweet with the fra
GRANGE of wild flowers, leaves and rain
intermingled. | danced happily along,
now and then darting out INTO the
fringe of the woods to pick bunches OF
velvety purple violets sparkling with
raindrops. l was on my way 10 SeI
the old Jersey COW which fed in the
pasture back of the old red brick far'h-
house. .,,o
Then. instead of going along on the
road 7 slipped down to the little brook
that ran through the edge of the pas
ture following along its edge or Wau~
ing in it's cool waters till l came 10
the COWS browsing in the pasture
1t was a very pretty scene tne
brown, black, cream and red COWS scat
tered about in the green pasture l
went up to the bars ana helu out my ing
hand. Our COW was a great pet ana
as soon as she caught sight of me she
came ca % slowly up to the bars, taking
from side to side as she went the
choicest tufts of clover
She pushed her nose up to the oaps rs
toward my hand with low moo Oh
welcome. rroors
Just then I woke and sat up. IeaI0
ized II was only dream. Still, though
il was only in dream, L had spent
few blissful moments among famlhar
scenes and consider it most happy
dream. ALlCE , "

ANGELS PLAYED ON HARPs

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l wanted to see the world by the
light of the moon, so l jumped in my
balloon and sailed through the summer
night air.
AS / neared the moon l heard soft,
sweet, and what seemed to be holy
music.
1 strained my eyes, but could see no
one.
At last upon looking closer I saw two
The angels wore long white robes.
Their great white wings lowered high
above their heads, and their blue eyes
and red lips seemed to be full of prayer.
Upon looking higher l seemed to see
Christ, in all his glory, seated on a
throne watching the children of the
earth as they slept.
Angels were busy between heaven
and earth. Some of them were guard
ing innocent children as they sweetly
slumbered, while others were bringing
the good and bad deeds of the inhab-
itants of the world to be written in q
book, not made of paper nor written
upon in pen and ink or pencil.
Soon the angels began to play and
sing a beautiful song.
When the song was half finished the
angels and my beautiful vision slowly
faded away.
/ opened my eyes, only to find that
l had been dreaming.

Golden rays of cleaning sunlight
spread out on all sides, making the
scenes around me most beautiful.
But on looking down 1 grew dizzy
at the thought of what fall would
mean. But after 1 had looked awhile
this thought passed away and the
great depths were fascinatingly beau
tiful.
For a long time l remained looking
down, but soon I happened to glance
upward and what I saw there brought
a cry of amazement from my lips.
There passing by or a ray of sunlight
sat a gorgeously dressed elf.
His head was cooked saucily to one
side while his face was overspread
with wonder at seeing the balloon.
Soon he faded from sight and l
looked at the sun that l could just see
passing from sight,
